As science students, we’ve always had a beautiful connection with science. We love understanding how things work, especially when we have great teachers to guide us. Back in 2023, I enjoyed sharing science-related posts on my personal account. One day, I came across a post about Imam Jafar Sadiq and his scientific teachings. This sparked my curiosity, and I started researching more about it. During my research, I found a book called *”The Superman in Islam: Imam Jafar as-Sadiq”*. It was an old book, and I didn’t have easy access to it. When I told my mother about it, she surprised me by finding and gifting me a physical copy, even though it was rare to find.
That’s how my journey began! As I read the book, I felt a deep sense of pride realizing that the scientific teachings we learn in schools, colleges, and universities align with the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH) and Ahlulbayt (AS). I discovered that the book had been published 15-20 years ago, but no articles or content had been shared about it. This inspired me to start creating, publishing, and spreading these teachings.
In August 2023, I created a Instagram page called @imam.and.science. Before this, I had been posting on another Instagram page, *@tabbara_and_tawalla*, but I decided to make this new page completely different. This marked the beginning of a journey called “Students of Imam Jafar as-Sadiq”. I started group discussions and met some amazing friends who are now the backbone of the page. From that point, the management shifted from “I” to “We.” Everyone shared the same goal, role, and mission, and we’re still on that path today!
As a team, we created different groups for research, editing, and content creation. Each member is dedicated to sharing the real teachings of Ahlulbayt—teachings that have rarely been shared before. Through this journey, we’ve not only shared knowledge but also learned so much together. We’ve read books, held discussions, and grown as a team.
To preserve these teachings for future generations, we created this website. We’re also working on a book, though it’s been delayed due to busy academic schedules. Please keep us in your prayers for its completion.
We pray that our mission continues and that Allah (SWT) and our Imam accept our efforts. This journey has been incredible, and we’re committed to spreading the light of knowledge!
Remembering Our Team Members in Your Prayers!
As we continue this journey of sharing the teachings of Imam Jafar as-Sadiq, we humbly ask you to remember all our team members in your prayers. Each person, whether they are still part of the team or not, has contributed to this mission in their own special way. Their efforts, dedication, and love for spreading knowledge have been the driving force behind this initiative.
We pray that Allah (SWT) blesses them, accepts their hard work, and guides them in all their endeavors. May He grant them success in this world and the hereafter, and may He keep them steadfast on the path of truth and righteousness.
Let’s take a moment to remember them in our prayers and ask for Allah’s mercy and blessings upon them. Together, we move forward, united in our mission to share the light of knowledge and the teachings of Ahlulbayt.
JazakAllah Khair for your support and prayers!
Who am I and how did I end up here?
Salaam! I am Mohammad Askari, honestly I don’t remember when did I join this page but
I remember how did I end up joining. Am a physics major student and an astrophysics enthusiast back then I was agnostic or atheist or somewhere in between later I got a book in gift named “The Great Muslim Scientist Imam Jaffar Sadiq(a)” I completed that book and Alhamdulillah I reverted back to Islam started my journey of seeking knowledge from scratch with the help of various Instagram pages and Al-islam.org, then I was scrolling through more Instagram pages and saw this newly formed page on Instagram ‘Imam and Science’ I followed them and texted “Hey I’d like to help you out with whatever I have learnt about science and Islam” and then Imran approved my request and added me to an Instagram gc and from therein I became admin of this beautiful page.
What do I seek?
Even tho I was born and raised in a shia-sayed family my beliefs were weak and I was not exposed to Islamic Education at all but at the same time I heavily indulged with Astronomy and Astrophysics and was surrounded by agnostic and atheist people, I became one of them as I was not well versed with my own beliefs, you can say that I had inherited my religion and not learnt it. Fast forward to the present time I have noticed that am not the only one who has faced this problem but in our indo-pak in most of the household children are not exposed to Islamic education and hence they become astray. My purpose of serving here is to make sure Islamic education is easily accessible to each and every of our youth and to be readily available for them like their big brother (or small) whenever they need any help or guidance and I don’t know what else I can add here its already so long so have to conclude it.
Till now it’s been an unrealistic journey. Met a lot of new amazing people in our team and learned a lot from them. I look forward to learn from them and stay in touch with them forever they have now become a part of my family. The only regret I have so far is not to have met them in real life and not to be able to spend time with them in person. Sometimes it’s really hard for me to cope up with all these stuffs but I believe this is a responsibility assigned my our Imam(ajtf) and I have my team, my people who rely on me which is the reason I never give up and feel motivated to continue on this track.
Salamun Alaykum !
Myself Asra Fatima, and I joined the Imam and Science team at the end of 2023. How did that happen? And why? Here’s my story.
I was born and raised in a Shia Syed family a very traditional one, where you naturally become familiar with religious practices like Namaz, amaal, fasting, Azadari, and more. But honestly, it was all because of my parents. They made sure that I followed my faith correctly from an early age, but I never really put in the effort to understand it myself.
Growing up in a non-Muslim society from childhood, my surroundings and friends never pushed me to think deeper about my beliefs. We had Islamic books at home, but I never developed the habit of questioning or reflecting on them. Religion was something I followed, but not something I explored.
Few years back everything changed when I moved to a new city for graduation and started living alone. That phase of my life was a turning point. Away from my family, I started thinking more about my own identity and beliefs. I began following Islamic pages and one day, I came across Imam and Science. then joined their discussion group, and that’s when things really shifted for me.
I realized that faith isn’t something you inherit you have to discover it yourself. That thought changed everything. I started questioning and trying to understand my purpose in this world.
In 2023, I was going through a phase where I felt lost. I made a sincere dua, asking Allah (SWT) to show me the right path and give me an opportunity to do something for imam-e-Zamana (ajtf). A few months later a message came inviting me to join Imam and Science. At that moment, I knew Allah had answered my dua in the most beautiful way. And Alhamdulillah that journey is still going on.
I truly believe that when we ask Allah for something good, He sends good people into our lives, people who help us get closer to Him. And honestly, what more do we need in this world?
Now, as an admin, I feel a sense of responsibility to contribute in whatever way I can through writing, creativity, discussions, or outreach. InshaAllah, I’ll continue this journey.
May Imam and Science keep growing, and may every person in this mission become a source of joy for Ahlulbayt (AS). Ameen<3
Salamun Alaykum!
Allahmdulillah for being a part of this page, Myself Deeba Husain
I’m excited to share my journey with Team Imam and Science. I come from a science background, and I’ve always been interested in exploring the connections between Islam and science.
In 2023, I was actively participating in debates with non-Muslims, and I felt the need to delve deeper into understanding the relationship between Islamic teachings and scientific inquiry. I began to study and learn more about Islam through the Al-Islam org and other resources.
One day I was studying evolution in school, and I found myself confused about the islamic perspective on this topic. This curiosity sparked a desire to learn more. I began to read about the views of islam on the universe and earth particularly through the teachings of Imams (as)
As I delved deeper, I become fascinated by the harmony between islamic teachings and scientific inquiry. I realised that islam’s perspective on science is not only compatible but also enriching. This newfound understanding created a passion to learn more and connect with the other people of the same mind.
One day, I stumbled upon an Instagram page that caught my attention with a post about Imam e jafar e sadiq some teachings on science. I reached out the admin and found out that there is a whatsapp group for discussion on various topics which we generally don’t talk about, I joined the group, and became a part of Imam and Science.
Although I belong to a Shia syed family, I never truly connected with my faith until I started exploring the teachings of our Imams, being born in a religious family my understanding and practice of islam were weak. However, as I read more about our Imams and their teachings, I felt a strong connection to my faith once again. I had also been confused by various cultural practices within our Shia Muslim community, and I yearned for clarity. I sought guidance, found reliable resources, and connected with individuals who provided me with insightful responses. I participated in discussions on this page, gained knowledge, I always want to contribute in this field then one day I got a message from an admin for editing purpose and then I said yes from there I became admin of this beautiful journey and an integral part of the group.
In the same year, we also created a whatsapp community, bringing together young brothers and sisters in a shared space for learning, growth and spritual development. By Allah’s grace everything is progressing smoothly, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to serve.
My main role in the team involves editing, managing the account and the community.
As part of the admin team, I’ve had the pleasure of working with incredibly polite and understanding individuals.
For me this journey can’t describe in words. Met alot of amazing people, become friends, helped eachother in every possible way, learned alot from them. I wish we’ll stay connected like this forever as now they’ve become a part of my family (my dear homies).
The only thing which makes me sad everytime is the regret of not meeting them and spend my precious time with these beautiful souls in person while having some chai and discussion.
Also I’m very impressed by the team’s dedication and feel privileged to work alongside such a talented and compassionate group of individuals.
May Imam-e-Zamana (AJ) accept our efforts and guide us towards the truth. May our work be a means of seeking proximity to Allah and serving humanity. Ameen.
I hope that, Insha’Allah, we may become worthy of this noble cause and remain on the right path. Insha’Allah.🌸
My name is Rebeka Zaidi, and I have been working with the team of Imam and Science since 25th October 2024. It has been a great experience, as they have provided me with a platform to showcase my work and contribute to their meaningful journey for the Imam of our time. I feel honoured that they gave me the opportunity to assist them.
I joined when they uploaded a story for volunteers, and I reached out to them via DM to share my work. Through this journey, I have gained a better understanding of my religion and found clarity on various doubts. Additionally, I assist them in writing on youth-related topics.
All the team members and admins are incredibly polite and understanding.
I’m Midhat Zahra, and joined this community a few months ago in 2024. I saw a story on the ig handle Imam and science, that there’s a vacancy for volunteering. So I decided to join and share my work.
Being part of this community is a gift from my Master, Imam al asr (ajtf) as I have always asked him to guide me as a learner.
I really appreciate the efforts, support, and understanding of all admins. May Mola bless each and every one of us.
Assalamualikum!!!
I am Sayyed Ar Rehan Al Jawwad Ul Hussain Ul Imam.
It would be nice if I first introduce myself and how I got here.
My family is the only Shi’a family in the town where I live (though everyone knows about it.)
So I wasn’t raised in a so much religious surrounding but on occasions such as Ramadan and Muharram I go to my paternal grandparents city where the surrounding is available and I learn as much as I can.
But in my town I face as much criticism as possible not only from non-muslim but from my fellow muslim brothers too, they always ask me questions like why this? How can…?, You are a kafir!, etc.
At first I didn’t used to care but as a teenager I couldn’t tolerate those questions anymore and started to doubt my imaan that if this is wrong or wright and in what manner and from there my search for knowledge began!
I started to jot down the questions and then search for counterarguments with source, the internet was my only option since other options wasn’t easily available to me.
And then about a year ago I found this page “imam.and.science” and got addicted to it, what attracted me most is the thing that the reference for source is provided in about every post, and the simple language in which it presents the situation.
About 6 months ago, I encountered a turning point where the page is asking the followers to be the members and thus I joined the team. In the past months apart from my works, i learned a lot which I think I couldn’t if it wasn’t for this page.
I am really happy to contribute anything I can in the path of Allah and his prophets(p.b.u.h.) and Imams.
Salam! I’m Eshah Fazal and i am a revert to shiaism.
I grew up in a wahabi family and since childhood, i heard alot of misjudged statements about shias and i wondered why. I even questioned their practices, like beating and mourning. But Despite my curiosity for shia muslims, I wasn’t very practical about my own faith back then.
During the start of my journey, My family held really extreme views and anyone who questioned them was seen as a threat. Me and my siblings were expected to follow their beliefs without questioning but we wanted to learn and discover the truth about islam ourselves. Fast forwarding, this led to many challenges and conflicts. We faced opposition, criticism and even isolation. But we kept seeking and learning what they were trying to hide from us.
That’s when i started reading and researching. I wanted to understand the basics of Islam, to learn about the Prophet (saw) and his family. And that’s when I discovered the story of Fadak. It opened my eyes to the oppression towards Prophets Family(as) and to the beauty of Shiaism and the teachings of the Ahlul Bayt (AS). Slowly, I found myself drawn to this way of life.
As a revert, it’s not always easy to express my beliefs. Fortunately, in 2024 i got to join the community of Imam and Science through a volunteering opportunity I found on their Instagram page. It’s been a blessing from Moula to be part of this platform where I can learn, share, and grow with all of you. This community has been a safe space for me to share my thoughts and connect with like-minded people.
I love creating content that inspires young people. Thanks to our amazing team and community for being so supportive. I’m honored to be part of this journey.May Moula bless us all! <3
I look forward to creating more impactful posts that inspire positive change. My goal is to help people reconnect with the beauty of our religion and the teachings of the Ahlul Bayt (AS).
Salam! I’m Zoha Batool, currently pursuing my A Levels. Born and raised in a family that always surrounded me with the love and teachings of Ahlulbait, I realized I didn’t know much about Imam Mehdi (A.S) until I discovered the “Imam and Science” page. Following it has significantly helped me in my journey to draw closer to the Imam of our time.
One day, I came across some group discussion screenshots on page’s story and thought how lucky and amazing it would be to have people with whom I could learn and strive in the way of Allah. Then, I got the opportunity to join the team, and it felt like a dream come true.
In my role, I focus on creating content aimed at helping youth deal with the challenges of contemporary life. I feel immensely blessed to contribute to this cause, believing that even small efforts, reminiscent of the sparrow’s attempt to cool the fire for Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S), are valuable in the eyes of Allah.
Salam! Myself Abbasali joined this community just few months back
I am currently persuing my Mbbs degree and was interested in science from long ago and then I found this page ‘Imam and science’ and saw their story about volunteer vacancy and texted them. I got to know so much about science and islam. Looking forward to contribute more and more
My journey:
My name is Ayesha Malik, and I come from a Sunni family that deeply loves the Ahl al Bayt (a) and does not consider anyone superior to them. Due to my father’s affiliation with Minhaj-ul-Quran, our beliefs share some similarities with Shia perspectives, though not entirely. Since childhood, we have always held the Ahl al Bayt (a) in the highest regard, but we were not fully aware of the hardships they endured. All we knew was Karbala. It always seemed as if the rest of history was a bed of roses, and then one day, suddenly, the tragedy of Karbala occurred. I remember my parents telling me heartbreaking tragedies of Karbala when I was little. I was young, and the suffering of Bibi Sukaina (s.a.) affected me the most.
I think it was those very tears, through whose blessing Allah (swt) made me aware of the history filled with hardships—the hardships that led to the suffering of Bibi Sukaina (s.a.).
A few years ago, I came to know about the Battle of Siffin, and I was shocked to learn that Muslims had fought against Imam Ali (a) in Islamic history—it was hard to believe.
Then I discovered the Battle of Jamal, which was even more painful for me.
As I delved deeper, I discovered the immense hardships endured by the twelve infallible Imams (a), and it was both shocking and heartbreaking to realize that all the oppressors were Muslims. This journey through Islamic history eventually led me to Fadak and, in the end, to Saqifa. I find the Sunni community hypocritical in this matter—how they keep us away from the dark side of history. Even though most of them believe that Mu’awiya was a bad person, they still say (r.a.) with his name. All of this brought me closer to Shia fiqh.
I never used to listen to Shia scholars before, but I have now come to know many great Shia scholars. Despite the theological differences between Shia and Sunni, my father always teaches us to respect others, and he never forbade me from listening to Shia scholars. Anyway, I’m still learning
[Apologies for making it too long.]We used to study science in school and believed that Islam is a perfect religion with vast scientific knowledge, but we rarely came across the names of Muslim scientists. My father introduced us to Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a) and how he laid the foundation of modern science with his contributions. I used to feel very proud, thinking: “Yay! We have Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a), who is more intelligent than all these non-Muslim scientists!”
However, my knowledge of the Imam’s (a) contributions to science was limited. The love I had for Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a) since childhood one day led me to a page called “Imam and Science,” _”We are the students of Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a).”
And who wouldn’t want to join Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq’s (a) community of students? Without a second thought, I hit the follow button!
One day, I came across their insta story, “Do you want to contribute to our team?” I shared my published articles from The Muslim Vibe and asked to join their team. My experience with them has been great so far.
We are all students of Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a), gaining knowledge from those sacred personalities whose obedience was commanded by our Prophet (saww).
With the love, kindness, and respect we’ve learned from the school of Ahl al Bayt (a), we strive to share their teachings with those still distant from this ocean of mercy and wisdom.
Salam, I’m Abiyah Fatimah.
I mostly grew up in a non muslim environment which really affected the way I thought and behaved. We used to live about an hour away from the only Masjid in the area. Although we went often during Muharram and Ramadhan, there was overall a lack of connection and understanding about why I was really doing everything. They mostly felt like rituals to me.
I went on Ziyarat Arbaeen for the first time a couple years ago and that awakened the beauty of immamat within me as I felt a different atmosphere entirely. After my trip, I became interested in seeking knowledge overall. However, one day I came across an instagram post on Dua Arafah of Imam Hussain (as). This dua completely transformed my view of Allah. I learned about Allahs infinite love and mercy towards His creation. But not in the way that’s known generally. It taught me to look at everything through Allah and His love and mercy. That’s when I learned how beautiful and deep duas truly are!
From that point on, I became really passionate about learning more and started diving deeper into the teachings of the Ahlul Bayt (as). I tried my best to apply and implement as much as I could from their lives and their beautiful teachings.
All this inspired me to serve the Imam (aj)! I wanted to contribute and affect other people’s lives by spreading the word of the Ahlul Bayt (as). Maybe their lives would become positively impacted by what they would see, maybe their entire day would change because of one sentence they read. I thought this was beautiful – how much of a positive affect we can have on others.
So when I saw a post on imam.and.science looking for more team members, I became excited because on that day just two hours ago, I had asked Imam Zaman (aj) to help me and guide me because I had wanted to spread his Ma’rifa and the teaching of Ahlul Bayt (as) to what I was capable of.
The couple of posts that I created with some of you truly meant something to me. I’m honored to be a part of this team and admire all the efforts made by all of you!! You all inspire me deeply and I look forward to contributing more and serving the Imam (aj)!
Salaam!
My name is Syed Muhammad Hussain Jafri, and I have been a part of the Imam and Science team since 2024. As a teenage student of science, my journey with Imam and Science began with a deep-seated desire to serve Imam-e-Zamana (ajtf) and share the wisdom of the Ahlulbayt (as) with the world. I always yearned to do something meaningful, something that would bring me closer to my faith and my Imam.
As someone who’s always been passionate about editing and content creation, I felt drawn to the world of social media as a way to spread Islamic knowledge. I’d often imagine myself working in a role to harness the power of social media to share the beauty of Islam with the world.
I’d been following the Imam and Science Instagram page for a long time and was mesmerized by their dedication to blend faith and science, as this unique approach resonated deeply with me. I always wanted to be a part of their team, to contribute my skills and passion to their mission. I sent them a number of messages multiple times, hoping to join their team, but my messages would always get lost in the sea of countless DMs they receive on a daily basis. Still, I held on to hope, praying to Allah (swt) to grant me this opportunity.
And then, one day, fate smiled upon me. The Imam and Science team themselves posted a story, inviting people to join them in this noble mission. I knew I had to seize this chance by all means. I, once again, sent them a message, while my heart was racing with anticipation. And then, to my utmost surprise and delight, they finally responded!
I still remember the rush of emotions I felt when I saw their response. It was as if Allah (swt) had finally answered my prayers, and I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude.
Since then, working with the Imam and Science team has been a dream come true for me. I’ve learned so much from our team discussions on spirituality and science, and I’ve been constantly inspired by the team’s passion and dedication. They’re a true embodiment of what it means to serve the Imam (ajtf) of our time.
I’m humbled by the opportunity to contribute, even in a small way, to their remarkable work. As I reflect on this journey, I’m reminded of the power of prayer, perseverance, and teamwork. And I’m grateful, eternally grateful, to Allah (swt) for bringing me to this place.
Asak,
Im Syeda Zahra, Ive grown up in a very religious environment, as my father is an Islamic scholar. Our home was always filled with discussions about Deen, and growing up, I developed a deep connection with it. Whenever I hear anything related to Islam, whether it’s a lecture, a discussion, or even just a simple conversation.. it naturally draws my attention. It’s something that has always been close to my heart.
I’ve been following Imam and Science for a long time, and I’ve always admired how they’re presenting our religion in a way that resonates with the younger generation. In today’s world, where there are so many distractions, seeing efforts like this makes me feel happy and hopeful. It’s a way for people to connect with Islam beyond just rituals by understanding it & feeling it.
Theres one thought that keeps coming to my mind that If Imam atfs of our time were to look at what we are doing, would he be happy?? Would he be proud of us for taking these small steps? I want to be someone who can proudly say that I contributed to something meaningful. Something that brings people closer to Deen, something that makes a difference.
When Imam and Science once asked for collaborations, I felt like it was my chance to do my part. I have some background in design and some limited knowledge, so I thought why not? Why not use the skills I have for a cause that truly matters to me? here I am hoping to contribute in whatever way I can. Not just to be part of something good, but to be part of something that has a way that goes to My Imam (atfs)
When I look in the mirror, I often ask myself, What changed me so much that today, I find myself writing a letter about my journey to the Imam and Science page?
Salamun alaikum, everyone. I am Yumnah Fatima, an ordinary girl in every sense. If someone were to ask me what I excel at, I might jokingly say overthinking, because honestly, I don’t see anything particularly special about myself.
I was raised in a family where two very different mindsets coexisted. My maternal side was deeply religious, while my paternal side saw religion as something to be acknowledged only on special occasions. In a school where education was treated like a religion, I never truly focused on Islam. Instead, I found myself running away from it. I loved listening to stories about the Prophets and the Ahlulbayt, but whenever my mother tried to teach me the importance of namaz and roza, I would yawn and walk away.
There were nights when, lost in thought, I questioned what I was doing with my life—neither praying nor studying nor caring about my future. But as soon as the sun rose, those thoughts would fade as if they had never existed. I often envied people my age who could recite Ziyarat e Ashura so beautifully at majlis, wishing I could do the same. But as soon as the gathering ended, that thought would vanish too.
To me, Islam was full of restrictions, too many rules. I saw my friends wearing elegant dresses, looking beautiful, while I had to stop wearing them after a certain age. I reached a point where I even pretended to pray when my mother asked me to. Eventually, I started calling myself an atheist, thinking it was cool. I was in my rebellious era.
Then, life took a turn. I left my favorite school and joined another that couldn’t compare—whether in education, culture, discipline, or values. Suddenly, I was ahead of everyone, not because I was particularly talented, but because my previous school had given me a better foundation. Days felt like years, and I felt trapped in a prison. I was bullied and even abused—just because I refused to stay silent when others used degrading words about girls. It felt like hell, but I never complained.
Then, during Ramadan 2023, I came across a reel on Instagram. A poem was being recited, and as I listened:-
Ye Sardi Ye Garmi Ye Barish Ye Dhoop
Ye Chehra Ye Qad Or Ye Rang o Roop
Darindoon Charindoon Pe Qaboon Diya
Tujhy Bhai De Kar Ke Bazoon Diya
Behan Di Tujhy Or Shareek e Safar
Ye Rishtay Ye Natay Ye Gharana Ye Ghar
Kay Aulaad Bhi Di …Diye Waledain
Alif Laam Meem Qaaf Or Aeen Gain
Ye Aqal o Zahanat Shaoor o Nazar
Ye Basti Ye Sehra Ye Khushki Ye Tar
Or Us Per Kitabain Hidayat Bhi Di
Nabi Bhi Utare Shariyat Bhi Di
Garaz Ke Sabhi Kuch Hai Tere Liye
Bta Kya Kiya Tune Mere Liye
it felt as though Allah Himself was speaking to me. For the first time, I felt truly ashamed. That moment changed me. I started learning, like a child taking their first steps.
Around this time, I discovered the Imam and Science page. I had always been fascinated by astronomy, and the way their team shared knowledge—connecting it to the words of the Imams—deepened my love for the Ahlulbayt. I started talking to Allah, asking Him to show me the right path. And He answered. In ways I can’t even put into words, I felt Him guiding me.
I grew closer to my Imam of Time (ajtf). Every day, I waited eagerly for the night to come, just so I could talk to him about everything that had happened. One day, while scrolling through Instagram stories, I saw that Imam and Science needed a video editor. Without hesitation—without expecting anything—I messaged them.
And then, on my birthday last year, I joined the Imam and Science team. One of the admins told me, This is the gift that Imam has given you. Those words made me emotional. I can’t describe the happiness I felt at that moment. My only goal was to learn and help in whatever way I could.
Now, as life gets busier, I find it hard to give as much time to the page as I used to, and that makes me feel guilty. There are moments when my iman feels weak, when I struggle to pray. But in those times, I open Instagram and consume Islamic content—Imam and Science always being at the top of my list. It reminds me, it strengthens me, and it brings me back to life again.
Salamun Alaikum everyone!
I am Fatima Muskan, and Alhamdulillah, I feel blessed to be a part of this page. I grew up in a Sunni family, and from a young age, my love for Ahl al-Bayt (as) was extraordinary. My family always told me that Shias are not good people and discouraged me from attending Majlis and Imam Bargahs. However, my heart never accepted their words, and every time I went to school, I would visit the Imam Bargah, offer my Salams to Maula Abbas (as), and pray to him for guidance.
In 2018, when I was in 8th grade, I secretly began attending Majalis without my family knowing. I started researching why Shia Muslims perform Matam and other practices, and one of my friends, Fatima, guided me on this journey. She suggested books and dramas that helped me understand more about Shiaism. That’s when my path began, and in 2020, my siblings also embraced Shiaism, and we started attending Majalis together, asking many questions to the Zakaras and Maulana.
One day, I visited Al-Islam.org and read about Fadak, and that’s when I decided to officially embrace Shiaism. However, in 2021, I lost my way and became distracted by the world. That’s when I began praying Tahajjud, asking Imam al-Zamana (ajtf) for guidance and support. I would pray, “Ya Maula, please help me; I want to change myself. I want to seek knowledge and learn about Shiaism from the start.”
In 2023, while scrolling through Instagram, I followed the page Tabbara and Tawalla and saw a post about Imam and science. I joined their discussions and learned so much. One day, I found myself at a Majlis, crying, and asking Maula, “How can I serve you? I want to be honored with this privilege.” Afterward, when I returned home, I checked Instagram and was surprised to see myself added to the list of admins. This experience truly reminded me that Duas are answered, and even though I am a sinner, this was a tremendous blessing from Maula.
Alhamdulillah, now I feel truly blessed. My main role in the team is teaching the biography of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It has been an amazing journey, and I am deeply grateful to all the admins who work tirelessly to offer classes, give Dars, and manage the page. I appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in this team, especially those who dedicate their time to editing and sharing knowledge.
Imam al-Zamana (ajtf) be pleased with us all, and I pray that this page continues to be a source of learning, knowledge, and happiness for him. We are all servants of Imam al-Zamana (ajtf), and I pledge to continue serving him in any way I can. May we all work together to bring others closer to the Imam’s (ajtf) service, and may we be united in this journey. 🌸
My Journey with Imam & Science
Before I even knew about sects in Islam, my heart was naturally drawn to one personality, Imam Ali (a). Even when I wasn’t a Shia, the only role model I could look up to after the Prophet (s) was him. Prophet’s love towards him fascinated me, and this love led me to explore Sunni Islam, particularly the controversial topics surrounding Islamic history.
What I questioned & researched as mere curiosity soon became an obsession for the truth. Since I’ve always been a fast reader, I found myself going through two to three books a day during my research. The deeper I went, the clearer it became.
This was the pure path, the path of those whom Allah Himself purified (33:33)
I felt the responsibility to help & contribute in helping others who might be searching like I once was. That’s when I started contributing to Imam & Science. It was the perfect way to share the knowledge of the Holy Household, through logic, science & undeniable historical facts. But what I didn’t expect was how much I would learn in return. Every post, every discussion & every piece of research I did, added to my understanding.
One of my key contributions to Imam & Science is managing its science aspect that includes bridging modern discoveries with the timeless wisdom of the Infallibles (a). From Cosmic Phenomena & Medical Insights to Physic’s Concepts & other Science related topics , I ensure every scientific explanation is deeply researched, authentic & thought-provoking.
I extract narrations from books, ponder over them, and spend days cross-referencing them with modern science to ensure accuracy. I edit carousels & engage in crafting engaging scripts to bridge the contemporary science to the Wisdom of Infallibles (a).
I feel truly blessed to be a part of this journey & I’m honored to contribute as much as I can, especially in show casing the pure knowledge of Prophet & His Guiding Household.
