Nobody said the Abbasids (LA) were Shia also the reason you never receive the right information is because of all of the propaganda against the Shia also the whole reason the Abbasids were so powerful was their cooperation with the Shia and relying on Shia support of course the story of their decent from Abbas (AS) is not true at all

The imams protected the Quran and it’s true interpretations. They weren’t introduced new revelations. Since Quran is the final book.

[@yusufg.1281]

These are the secrets that were revealed to R. Šim‘on b. Yohai when he was hiding in a cave on account of (the persecutions of) Caesar king of Edom (i.e., Rome). He stood in prayer forty days and forty nights, and began thusly: ‘Lord God, how long will you spurn the prayer of your servant?’ Immediately there were revealed to him the secrets of the eschaton and (various) hidden things. He began to sit and expound (the passage) ‘and he beheld the Kenite’ (Num 24:21). When he perceived that the kingdom of Ishmael would come (and exercise dominion over Israel), he exclaimed: ‘Is it not sufficient what the wicked kingdom of Edom has done to us that we should also (suffer the dominion of) the kingdom of Ishmael!?’ Immediately Metatron the prince of the Presence answered him and said: ‘Do not be afraid, mortal, for the Holy One, blessed be He, is bringing about the kingdom of Ishmael only for the purpose of delivering you from that wicked one (i.e., Edom). He shall raise up over them a prophet in accordance with His will, and He will subdue the land for them; and they shall come and restore it with grandeur. Great enmity will exist between them and the children of Esau.’ He shall raise up over them a prophet in accordance with His will, and He will subdue the land for them; and they shall come and restore it with grandeur. Yes, there were Jews in the 7th century who recognized that Muhammad (saw) was a "Prophet" raised up according to "His (God's) Will." Islam. It's God's Will that we be Muslims. . Šim‘on answered and said: ‘From whence are they (understood as) our deliverance?’ He said to him: ‘Did not Isaiah the prophet speak thusly? “And should he see chariotry of a pair of riders, one riding an ass, (and) one riding a camel” (Isa 21:7).’ Why did he put the ‘rider of an ass’ before the ‘rider of a camel’? Should he not instead have said ‘rider of a camel, rider of an ass’? (No, the textual sequence means that) when the one who rides the camel (Ishmael or Muhammad) emerges, the kingdom ruled by the ‘one mounted upon an ass’ (Zech 9:9) has manifested (lit. ‘sprouted’) by his (i.e., Ishmael’s or Muhammad’s) agency. Another opinion: ‘rider of an ass’ (connotes) at the (same) time when he ‘rides upon an ass’ (Zech 9:9). Consequently they (Ishmael) are a deliverance for Israel like the deliverance (associated with) the ‘one mounted upon an ass’ (Zech 9:9). clas-pages.uncc.edu/john-reeves/research-projects/trajectories-in-near-eastern-apocalyptic/nistarot-secrets-of-r-shimon-b-yohai-2/

Islam never needed to develop, but it is society that still does. Analogy and consensus are standard to Islam and pretty much any sect. Doesn't the occultation idea go against the spirit of Al Quran 3.144? Sacred history is subject to consideration of transmission, but each generation considering more than issues of time and space for change implies that the original messages were not sufficient for them.

[@harissyed3149]

This just proves that the Imams were great scholars and some involved in political opposition to Ummayads. However, they were not Shiites by contemporary definition- their Aqeedah was basically Sunni, they didn’t believe in divine appointment, and they certainly weren’t walking around doing miracles lol! Similarly, there were LOTS of Shiites sects, with different ideas of who the “Imam” (again spiritual and perhaps political leader) should be, rather than a unified sense of divine inheritance of an Imamate. Shiism is a stack of myths and pre- Islamic beliefs applies to historical figures who may have been opposed to Ummayads, but were basically Sunni Muslims and renown for their knowledge. This is indicated by the closeness of Jafar AsSadiq to famous Muslim jurists (Abu Hanifah). The Shiites were a political faction, infiltrated by pre-Islamic beliefs and adopted myths and stories about historical Muslim scholars. It basically just snowballed into a religious cult of legends.

[@Dawayaghr]

Indeed

[@haidermir9663]

Yeah. That's why the caliphs appointed by your "three rightly guided caliphs" made the imams' lives so difficult and perilous. Go read about the history of the so called leaders of the Muslim Ummah who literally tortured the infallible imams, may peace be upon them.

[@alig6963]

Jafar As Sadiq ( AS) which is considered by historians to be the founder of shiism was the teacher of your 4 sunni madhabs. It makes me laugh how these 4 got astray.

[@harissyed3149]

Ali Ghais You think Jafar AsSaadiq founded Shiism? I think Shiism is a pagan distortion of Islam, but I don’t believe it was started by one guy, it’s got a long chain of events to create it! It’s a complex history of politics, pre-Islamic beliefs merging with the new faith, etc. I would take what your Sayyids tell you with a pinch of salt- I know Shiites have a mythological view of their imams as quasi divine figures who have perfect knowledge etc, so it goes without saying that you’d subscribe to a fantastical view of history where these Imams encapsulated all knowledge and everyone else learnt everyone from them, but were not Shia because they went astray! Sadly, that’s not real life I’m afraid, as you’d see from a real biography of Jafar As Saadiq, his marriages, kids, etc. Now if you moved away from the myths, exaggerations and fantasies of Shiism (secret knowledge, magic/ miracles, etc) and take a more rationalistic and frankly “real” version of how the world works, you’d realise how ridiculous Shiism is. Jafar As Saadiq was from the generation before Fiqh was developed as an Islamic science and was a major contributor in Iraq, so influenced the development of the Iraqi fiqh schools. But Fiqh is a developed science from many related fields of study. It’s a complex topic that pulls from Historical sciences, biographical works, theological concepts regarding sources of Islamic proof, etc. It’s not invented by one guy, unless of course you believe in god-like Imams. You can obviously believe whatever you choose, it’s no skin off my nose. But what makes Shiism so dangerous is replacing any rational sense of history with a set of mythical legends. To give you one small example, none of the Hadith books for Shiism (Nahjul Balaghah, Usool Al Kafi, Bihar Anwar, etc) have known chains or origins, to the point where Nahjul Balaghah doesn’t gene have any narrators! It’s just a collection of myths and stories that were circulating around Iraq for a few hundred years until someone wrote it down lol.

[@harissyed3149]

haider mir I’m sad to say that they didn’t, it’s just myths that the Shiites developed initially to subvert the legitimacy of the Ummayyads and then popularise by those who wished to destabilise Islam. If you look into the real biographies of your imams (not silly stories about men walking around raising the dead and summoning angels), you will note who they married, what they named their kids, the actions they took etc. They were not Shia and they were not enemies of the Sahabah- they were deeply integrated. Consider one thing- most of the imams you believe in are buried in Medina (died peacefully in an area that’s never had a major Shiite presence), but the ones who went to Iraq to be around the Shiites all died violent, horrible deaths. Every time they trusted their “Shia”, they regretted it.

[@yusufg.1281]

قال النديم: قرأت بخط عبيد الله بن أحمد بن أبى طاهر: كان الحلاج مشعبذًا محتالأ يتعاطى التصرف، ويدعى كل علم، وكان صفرًا من ذلك، It goes on to connect him with the al-Qaramitah sect (I literally and coincidentally just learned who they were), calls him an al-chemist, and basically shows him zero respect and that he was not a believer but a Shia "for the kings" and a Sufi teacher in public. "Ad-dajjal has ONE eye, Allah does not." It is sad that people who are believed to be so knowledgeable about the Sunna should be so easily deceived, but it gets worse. The exact method of conquer that was prophecied to be the method that the sons of Isaac (Israel and Edom, a Euphemism for Byzantine Rome, ie Turkey, used by the sons of Israel) would take back Constantinople. By saying "لا اله الا الله" which was fulfilled by Shabbati Svi (false convert to Islam who had declared himself the Messiah and was jailed, for inciting sedition I imagine as obviously that's a threat to Ottoman rule, and decided to convert/infiltrate Islam) and claimed descendant of Svi, Ataturk, who is known to have been a Donmeh-Sabbatean Jew, not really a Muslim. Even the number of 70,000 matches the approximate number of members who fought for the Young Turks (co-Masons). While I like that in Islam prophecies are actually fulfilled, it saddens me that every time I tell someone this it is new information. I mean when did a prophecy (legitimately) become fulfilled in a manner that can be demonstrated to have happened AFTER the prophecy, and not before (see: Most of the Bible prophecies alleged to have been written earlier than they in fact were, Daniel being the best example) in Christianity or Judaism? I can't think of a legitimate example save "The rider on the Camel" who comes after "the rider on the ass" which was once attributed to Muhammad (as) by Jews who thought that it was a sign of the advent of their Messiah. When this never worked out as hoped and the Jewish Messiah did not show, the verse was pluralized by the Masoretic scribes to read "riders" though even Jewish scholars admit that original reading was "rider."

Ali Ghais But Abdullah ibn Saba is mentioned by ibn Taymiyya and compared to the false apostle Paul, also.

[@yusufg.1281]

Ali Ghais Sabaites, the proto-Rafidis, and their leader Abdullah Ibn Saba (the closeted-Jew) were the spiritual founders of Rafidism, this has been proven by researchers beyond any doubt. Abdullah ibn Saba was calling to the Divinity of ‘Ali, but this does not contradict calling to his Imamate/Wilayah. Abdullah ibn Saba left behind him, as his legacy, a subculture of exaggeration and idealisation concerning the Imams; this subculture had a massive influence on the subsequent development of Shi’ism. As for the Imams of Ahl Al-Bayt, starting with ‘Ali: ‘Ali did not just reject the exaggeration with his personality to the level of divinity, he also rejected the lie that he (i.e. ‘Ali) is a divinely chosen Imam and fierce enemy of Abu Bakr and ‘Omar: Abu Nu’aym Al-Isfahani (947 - 1038 CE) reports that: ”It reached ‘Ali THAT IBN SABA GAVE HIM PREFERENCE OVER ABU BAKR AND ‘OMAR, so (‘Ali) became determined to kill (Abdullah Ibn Saba). Someone said to him, ‘Will you kill a man who only glorifies you and favors you?’ He said, ‘CERTAINLY HE WILL NOT DWELL BESIDE ME IN ANY COUNTRY WHERE I AM TO BE FOUND. Abd’Allah Ibn hubayq said, ‘It was related to me concerning (Abdallah Ibn Saba) by al-Haytham Ibn Jamil, that ‘(Abdullah Ibn Saba) was EXILED to a land near al-Mada’in until the Hour.” [Abu Nu’aym, Hilya, volume 8, page 253] ‘Ali opposed the essence of Rafidism: “Suwayd Ibn Ghaflah said: ‘I entered on ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib during his reign and said: “I passed by some folks who were talking about Abu Bakr and ‘Omar and saying that YOU HAVE A DEEP HATRED FOR BOTH OF THEM, one of those folks is ABDULLAH IBN SABA, ‘Ali Said: “I do not understand this wicked man (Ibn Saba), I seek refuge in Allah from this matter and I only have utmost respect for them. Then he sent after Ibn Saba and exiled him to Al-Madaen and said: ‘He will not live in the same land with me.” He then ascended his pulpit and when the people gathered he complimented both of them (Abu Bakr and ‘Omar) and said nothing but good things about them. Then he said: “If it reaches me that anyone prefers me over them (Shaykhayn, Abu Bakr and ‘Omar) then I shall lash them as they do with the slandering liar.” [The Virtues of ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib [Jawahir Media, 2015] by Luqman al-Andalusi, volume 1, page 144- 145]

[@harris8575]

Shia theaching out of Islam...mostly Syhirik

[@thatshiairaqi]

Prove it 😂

[@HajjiJesus]

Shia or Shiasm is based on Imamate Pillar. Imamate is based on Hadith Kiswa. Hadith Kiswa is based on 33:33. So what is in 33:33 that made Shia invent whole new eco-system that did not exist called Shiasm Imamate? Short answer. Shia thought that this verse gives Infallibility to Ahlul bayt. There are no Infallible Imams in Islam though. Well this a major claim but what is evidence for this? In Islam, we should base our claims, religion on solid base. We have the last revelation of God. So what is better than using the last Revelation of God, Quran, for this? Nothing of course. Here are the verses taken by Shias to indicate the infallibility of Imams. As you will see this has nothing to do with Infallibility. 1) Read the verses and see first the verses before 33:33 and after, who they talk about. Summary, they all talk about Wives of Prophet SAW. There is no second guessing to it. 33:30 O Consorts of the Prophet! If any of you were guilty of evident unseemly conduct, the Punishment would be doubled to her, and that is easy for Allah. 33:31 But any of you that is devout in the service of Allah and His Messenger, and works righteousness,- to her shall We grant her reward twice: and We have prepared for her a generous Sustenance. 33:32 O Consorts of the Prophet! Ye are not like any of the (other) women: if ye do fear (Allah), be not too complacent of speech, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire: but speak ye a speech (that is) just. 33:33 And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance. And establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the [Prophet's] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification. وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا 33:34 And recite what is rehearsed to you in your homes, of the Signs of Allah and His Wisdom: for Allah understands the finest mysteries and is well-acquainted (with them). 2) The word purify or “Yutahirakum” is taken by Shia as infallibility. The truth is, this word has nothing to do with infallibility. What is the evidence again for this? a. يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ فاغْسِلُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُواْ بِرُؤُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَينِ وَإِن كُنتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُواْ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَى أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاء أَحَدٌ مَّنكُم مِّنَ الْغَائِطِ أَوْ لاَمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاء فَلَمْ تَجِدُواْ مَاء فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُم مِّنْهُ مَا يُرِيدُ اللّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ حَرَجٍ وَلَـكِن يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهَّرَكُمْ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ. Here is the meaning: 5:6 O YOU who have attained to faith! When you are about to pray, wash your face, and your hands and arms up to the elbows, and pass your [wet] hands lightly over your head, and [wash] your feet up to the ankles. And if you are in a state. requiring total ablution, purify yourselves. [But if you are ill, or are travelling, or have just satisfied a want of nature, or have cohabited with a woman, and can find no water-then take resort to pure dust, passing therewith lightly over your face and your hands. God does not want to impose any hardship on you, but wants to make you pure, and to bestow upon you the full measure of His blessings, so that you might have cause to be grateful. إِذْ يُغَشِّيكُمُ النُّعَاسَ أَمَنَةً مِّنْهُ وَيُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُم مِّن السَّمَاء مَاء لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم بِهِ وَيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلِيَرْبِطَ عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الأَقْدَامَ 8:11 [Remember how it was] when He caused inner calm to enfold you, as an assurance from Him, and sent down upon you water from the skies, so that He might purify you thereby and free you from Satan's unclean whisperings and strengthen your hearts and thus make firm your steps. Note : “لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم” and “لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ” Look these words in 8:11 and the end of 33:33. As you see, especially 8:11 that God used the same words he used in 33:33. Can we take all the Companions who were in Badr were also Infallibles from 8:11? Of course we know this is not take case. Similarly 33:33 has nothing to do with infallibility of Ahlul Bayt in short. This is beside the point who are the Ahlul Bayt. 3) Lastly, Who are Ahlul bayt “أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ“ according to Quran? God used Alhal bayt in three places in the Quran. Here are the three places. a. وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا b. قَالُواْ أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللّهِ رَحْمَتُ اللّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَّجِيدٌ c. وَحَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَرَاضِعَ مِن قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَكْفُلُونَهُ لَكُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُ نَاصِحُونَ English: a. 33:33 And abide quietly in your homes, and do not flaunt your charms as they used to flaunt them in the old days of pagan ignorance; and be constant in prayer, and render the purifying dues, and pay heed unto God and His Apostle: for God only wants to remove from you all that might be loathsome, O you members of the [Prophet’s] household, and to purify you to utmost purity b. 11:73 Answered [the messengers]: "Dost thou deem it strange that God should decree what He wills? [105] The grace of God and His blessings be upon you, O people of this house! Verily, ever to be praised, sublime is He!" c. 28:12 And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before, so she said, "Shall I direct you to a household that will be responsible for him for you while they are to him [for his upbringing] sincere?" In short, all three include or talk about women folk of the house. So people who claim this is specific to Fatuma, Ali, Hassan, and Hussain RA are totally mistaken. Summary: My points are: 1) What is Ahlul Bayt according to Quran? Where else does God use Ahlul Bayt in the Quran and who does he talk about? Answer: God mentioned Ahlul Bayt in two other places. Both places women are included. Note: this does not remove the other people from the word. Highlight: If the other places God included women, then this to includes the wives of the Prophet. Hence, people who say wives of the Prophet are not Ahlul Bayt are wrong. 2) Who does the preceding and following verses of 33:33 talk about? Answer: They talk about all about the wives of the Prophet SAW. Highlight: It makes sense this verse, complete, also talks about the women of the house. 3) What does these two words: “لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم” and “لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ” mean? Do they mean Infallible? Answer: No they dont. Answer is this verse: إِذْ يُغَشِّيكُمُ النُّعَاسَ أَمَنَةً مِّنْهُ وَيُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُم مِّن السَّمَاء مَاء لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم بِهِ وَيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلِيَرْبِطَ عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الأَقْدَامَ 8:11 [Remember how it was] when He caused inner calm to enfold you, as an assurance from Him, and sent down upon you water from the skies, so that He might purify you thereby and free you from Satan's unclean whisperings and strengthen your hearts and thus make firm your steps. If “لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم” and “لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ” gives people Infallibility like Shia like to claim, then there are over 300 people who will be Infallible according to this verse. Highlight: These two words have nothing to do with Infallibility. Summary: Now about the hadith. We accept hadith of the Prophet SAW. The hadith though does not deny what God has already given. It adds to its meaning though. In this case, it adds Fatima, Hassan, Hussan, and Ali RA to the Ahlul Bayt. Either case, without Infallibility, there is nothing we really disagree here. Because the reason why Shia want to make the Ahlul Bayt exclusive to Fatima, Hassan, Hussan, and Ali RA is they want to make them Infallibility. In Short, Shias are fighting a losing battle when they argue about who are Ahlul bayt. If Shia have any point in Shiasm, let them bring anywhere where God said follow Ali, Hussien, Hassan, or in that matter any Companion? If Shia have any point in Islam, let them bring anywhere where God said Shia Imams are divine or Infallible? On the other hand, God has said this: 33:21 VERILY, in the Apostle of God you have a good example for everyone who looks forward [with hope and awe] to God and the Last Day, and remembers God unceasingly. And if you came with path other than the path taken by the Prophet, then indeed you are in danger. 4:115 But as for him who, after guidance has been vouchsafed to him, cuts himself off from the Apostle and follows a path other than that of the believers - him shall We leave unto that which he himself has chosen, and shall cause him to endure hell: and how evil a journey’s end! Who was God pleased with more? Me, you, or others in this age or the ones God mentioned above? If you believe Allah and you hold Quran as the word of God, then you get the answer from the Quran. If however this is not the case, then this whole explanation is not for you. This is for Muslims and Mumins. Follow only God and his Prophet. =======================

[@hassanashraf990]

Idiot do you know anything about islam? Have you read Quran? Do you know ayaa's mentioned in Quran about Imam's? Have you read ayaa's about Shiaism in Quran? Where prophet says i am Shia, send me your email idiot i will prove Shiaism through Quranic verses through ahadees, references about Imamat, Allah's love for Ahle bait. Hypocrisy of your heroes abu bakr umar usman muaviya ayesha hifsa etc, i will expose your sunnism and your ignorancy in seconds. People like you are disgrace to Islam.

[@mproaudio1]

Shiaism is the "Christian Branch" of Islam,Jesus had Twelve Disciples, Shias have twelve Imams.Shias claim that man is not pure enough to have direct contact with Allah (Azzawajal) but their Imams are pure and Massume. and only through their imams one can have contact with Allah (Azzawajal) and have salvation. This is exactly the Christian belief. Their belief is that Man is not good enough to have direct contact with God and only through Jesus one can reach God and have salvation. Jesus was crucified, three days later he came back and then he went to Heaven and will come back again later on. This is the Christian theology. The Shias have a very similar belief about their 12th Imam. They call it "Qaibat Asghar and Qaibat Akbar," "short absence and long absence." of their 12th Imam. Their 12th Imam disappeared, he came back three days later and he disappeared again and will come back before the end of time. Disciples of Jesus were going around curing sick and making blinds to have their sights back, miracles. Shia believe the same. They make a pilgrimage to the grave of their Imams to ask them for Cure "Shaffa," They swear by Allah that they know of people who were born Blind and got their sights back through the interference of their Imam. The only difference is that the disciples of Jesus were showing miracles while they were alive whereas the Imams of Shia make miracles from their graves. Candle lighting is another practice of Shia that is a copy of Christianity. In short, the side practices of the theology of Shiaism are pure Shirk. "Shi'ism is synonymous with Sherkisim."Mecca, Baitul Haram, is prohibited for the Mushrikings. Shias must not be permitted to enter Mecca.

[@thatshiairaqi]

Salam, the Imams didn't only have miracles after they died but while they were alive as well. You should take this as a sign. Search it up. I'm sure you'll find videos of these miracles.

[@thatshiairaqi]

And Jesus (AS) had these miracles because he was a Prophet of Allah (SWT) and these Imams (AS) are here to guide us to the straight path do Allah (SWT) made us signs so we might realize how important they are and why we shouldn't follow anyone else other then them.

[@tamaratilly3330]

imam ali shit

[@Jericho_S]

teaching the methodology of worshipping Ali, Hussain and their Imams. Ready to eat the feces and urine of their imamas. Also the fairy tales , historical errors or lies, marrying a woman for 1 hour or few hours, making muta marriage as a job -- great stuff!

[@LalaLala-es2or]

Jericho S seems like you've done a lot of research on Shias, too bad you didnt learn anything from us. Seems like you idiots are all over the internet literally stalking any Shia content, do you even have a life ?

[@Jericho_S]

you as a shia or may be not (if you use taqqiya), have yet again proven my points. The more garbage you learn from shiaism, the more garbage you spill out from that dirty mind and mouth of yours. Your ignorance and bad manners are only exceeded by your ignorance and bad manners. Try to ponder on the words I said. If you still don't understand, then there's nothing I can do. That's all I can say and my last reply. I don't waste with trolls.

[@mahdishishkin1450]

Jericho S why don't you read quran with tafseer ?

[@ahmadhassan9258]

it all makes sense until they start talking about the 12th Imam.
