AOA, I've come to know that Ibn Abbas, a companion of Holy Prophet, wrote a Tafseer on Quran but unfortunately it got corrupted or fabricated by what many Islamic scholars call Israelites. However, many Tafseers regarded as extremely authentic like Ibn Kathir have quotes or reports taken from Ibn Abbas. So does it make certain Tafseers like these full or error too or were they filtered out properly?

Why do Shia hold Aql (intellect) in a higher position in comparison with other sects?
As you possibly know, Aql/Aghl (intellect) is regarded as one of the sources of Fiqh in Islam. In Shia Islam, there are four sources of Fiqh: Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijmaa’ and Aql.

As you possibly know, Aql/Aghl (intellect) is regarded as one of the sources of Fiqh in Islam. In Shia Islam, there are four sources of Fiqh: Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijmaa’ and Aql. (www.wikifeqh.ir )
But as much as I know, Aql is considered as a source which has higher position/place (in Shia's view) in comparison with the view of other Mazhabs (sects). So, my query is that:
**What is the reason that Shia (Twelver Shia) hold Aql in a higher position in comparison with other sects?**

Today I have a discussion with a Christian office colleague. He said that Prophet Isa is not from the blood line of Adam. Because when husband and wife interact with each other then in the result the baby is born. But nobody touches Mariam (A.I), and Prophet Isa born by the power of Allah. So he said, Prophet Isa is not from the blood line of Adam. That's why Christians say that the Prophet Isa is the son of God.
My question is: Is it true that Prophet Isa is not from the blood line of Adam?

Is there any hadith which says that an uncle is like a father?
I have heard the expression that an uncle is like the father implying that he should be treated with the same love and respect. Someone said that this is a hadith. So is there any hadith which says that an uncle is like a father? By uncle I mean father's brother.

Isa(Jesus) is called the Messiah in the Quran in Surah Ali 'Imran 45 (3:45) , which directly translates to savior. However, if Islam rejects the idea that he saved the world from Sin as Christians believe, what is the purpose of this title at all?
Some say that he was given this title because he came to show the jews the right path or because he was from God; however, if this is the case, then wouldn't that give every prophet the title of messiah? So why was Jesus the only one given that title? and what did he come to save us from if not sin?
Also, if I may add, was he just a messiah to the Jews, or was it to the whole world?

Is intentionally lucid dreaming about clapping a woman haram?
I am a proud-to-be Muslim (which means I believe in Islam), and I recently had a lucid dream, and I have always wanted to see porn in there (because normal porn is haram). I was clapping a woman there. I did not wake up until 10 seconds or so. So the point is was that haram?
