@ByChoiceMuslim We just need to be VERY careful about making accusations. Shia, like sunni, are diverse in beliefs, opinions and practices. Sure I agree, if anyone believes (or does not believe) in something which puts them outside the fold of Islam, then they are as such. BUT just because someone identifies themselves as "shia" does not NECESSARILY do the same. Do you see my point? It behooves us to give our brothers and sisters the BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. I think the Prophet (P) would agree. :)

[@WeldAzzaba]

​@Willi Thanks for the info. I am curious about this author, a "Great" Sunni scholar, who writes a book that "pushes away" 5 Million people to become sectarians i.e. Shia. This person, if your info is correct - and I do not doubt that, does/did not uphold the message of the Quran and Sunna as he created a schism / division in Islam. I would have applauded his effort in bringing back these 5 Million Muslim to the main fold of Islam with its two main pillars: The Quran and the Prophet's (SAAWS) Sunna. Ali (RA), the 4th Khalipha, did not preach and urge anybody the follow him instead of God's Holy book - The Quran and the Prophet's (SAAWS) Sunna. Had this or another author(s) focused on the contradictions of the Shia sect principally, he or they would have a good deed in bringing the Muslim Umma UNITED. With All of My Respects - NO insult, direct or implied, meant.

al-Ma'mun had asked Ali al-Ridha (as) several questions, one of which was as follows: - "What is the proof for the Caliphate of your grandfather, Ali ibn Abi Talib? - "The verse of our selves," The Imam replied. This is in reference to 5:55 in the Holy Quran. Who did the Holy Prophet take with him to the event of Mubahila to represent equivalency to himself? Of ALL the companions who were available at the time? Who was then honoured by Allah SWT by being referred to as the 'self' of the Holy Prophet in 5:55?

[@shaamanplatinum]

If the idea of infalibility of the imams came about in the third century after Hijra, then why did the Prophet (sawas) refer to him as such? If he was not infallible, how could the Prophet have said legitimately, "Those who are friends of Ali follow me, and those who oppose Ali oppose me."

[@shaamanplatinum]

No, but the people who they follow did. Imam Hasan and Imam Hussein (a.s) were murdered by Mu'waiyah and Yazid, and yet the two are revered by many Sunnis. More still, Abu Bakr made Fatima (a.s) angry - The Prophet said, "The one who makes Fatima angry angers me. And the one who angers me angers Allah." Not only did he do this, he took the khilafat from its rightful successor - Imam Ali. The Prophet addressed the muslims after his first and only Hajj not long before he died, proclaiming 'Man kuntum Mawla, Aliyyun mawla." or 'For who ever I am the Mawla (guardian, master) Ali is his Mawla." The khilafat who taken from the Commander of the Faithful THREE times before he recieved it, in which time Islam had become its near antithesis - an Empire, forcibly converting entire lands to acquire territory... Which was haraam. Aisha, the youngest wife of the Prophet, went to WAR with Ali, along with her allies Mu'awiyah, Amr bin Aas, and generally the whole clan of Bani Umayya. Remember the saying of the Prophet that I quoted which you replied to. These people are revered by the sunnis. I am not saying the sunnis are somehow evil. There is no way. They are merely ignorant of our Islamic history, and follow their scholars without question. To follow the people who warred with Ali, and indeed the people who were always at war with the Ahlulbayt of the Prophet in its entirety, is to oppose them.

[@shaamanplatinum]

He didn't hate him. I suggest first you read Nahjul balagha (the writings of Imam Ali) and second understand that the Prophet never appointed Abu Bakr his successor, yet appointed Imam Ali (a.s.) on multiple occasions.

This happened due to dominent discursive discourse who were in charge since the death of our prophet who manipulated and deviated Islam (except at Ali (a) time.

[@jaaferalemara8124]

lol this is the most flawed logic ever. Ali a.s is divinely appointed by Allah swt, we don’t just follow him because he’s the prophets(s) cousin. We follow him based on merit, on being the first male to accept Islam, never running from battle, being the most knowledgeable, and more. Furthermore he never bowed to an idol in his whole life, it is illogical that God would entrust his religion to former idol worshippers. This is like allowing an ex convict become the president of a nation, yes they can rehab and become good people but to put them in control of the affairs of the people after what they’ve done is illogical. Also the numbers game is probably the most ignorant point you’ve made in your life. Most people are not Muslim, so does that mean Islam is false? Even within Islam, there are 4 denominations of Sunni Islam, does that mean the majority one is following the correct law and the rest are all incorrect?

[@sask3521]

In every muslim sect we have added information, after the Quran was written. what happens when we take them as the words of the prophet, when they weren't? Don't single out Shia please, because sunnis themselves follow different books and sayings. Like God made a mistake by issuing 50 prayers a day then after Mohammed pleaded with him he reduced it to 5. So God changes laws on prayer because a man asked him to? And I can go on and on. We love Christians and Jews so much, and we believe in interfaith dialogue but when it comes to each other and our secterian differences we call each other non believers? Again we may have differences but it does not make us non muslim. The differences we see were inspired by zionists, orientalists and western colonial powers who dug up information to divide and conquer muslims by highlighting differences. These differences were never a problem during Ottoman rule or for that matter most of the Islamic golden age. These ideas of hate and intolerance are the result of power hungry people who wish for people to hate and destroy each other on fabled ideas that were never a Muslim one to begin with. No one called himself a Sunni or Shia at the time of the prophet. These are differences that we may not agree on but in the end we are still Muslim. Don't let others insite hate in you.

Because of loose safe guarding of safety of lives of these successors the enemies took full advantage of situation.Until the time of Othman ,Othman refused the protection of Ali because according to him let be if Allah wanted it to be so.Muawiyah was not happy with this situation because Ali was unable to do anything about it.That was how I think ruling was based on family succession.

All of this came after The Day have completed My favor given Islam .

[@ahmeda95]

Firstly, the main split between shias & Sunnis was a divinity/ religious one rather than a political one. Shias believe that the successorship of Imam Ali AS was determined by God, as in the Quran God says to the Angels “I have appointed my “Calipha” on earth” (when referring to Adam PBUH. In other words, Shias believe that the role of Calipha is not one which selected by people, rather, it is one which is selected by God, as there has never been a time in the prophetic history where a Calipha of God was “elected” by man. Secondly, the Prophet PBUH emphasized the successorship of Imam Ali AS in Ghadeer Khum, when he said “whoever I am their moula (leader), Ali is now their Leader”, at the time which the verse Of the Quran was revealed stating that the message was now completed in its entirety. So the first point is that this has always been a religious dispute, even though there was a political component to it (in that we believe the people seized the opportunity after the Prophet PBUH death, to gain benefit politically). Secondly, in regards to “accepting some of the hadiths”… that is not accurate as we believe and accept hadiths as part of our belief. However, we do not consider the Sunni books (the Sahih 6) to be a hijah upon us, and there are other books of hadiths which we accept, and have been passed down for many generations and authenticated. So we do accept hadiths, just not the ones other schools claim to be “sahih”. Thirdly, all of our Imams are deriving their knowledge from the sunnah of the Prophet PBUH. Meaning, when they tell us a hikma (ruling) or an interpretation of something; they are speaking on behalf of the prophet (as they are his successors). Everything they know comes from the Prophet & Allah swt. Prime example would be Imam Jafar AS, who was the teacher of the Sunni Scholars who founded the main Sunni methabs (Maliki, Hanafi, Hanbali, etc). Yes we do go to the Imams for the rulings and teachings, however they are the successors and they teach from the sunnah for the Holy Prophet. Decent explanation, however to make it seem like the Shia are some fringe element is pathetic. We are extremely prominent in Canada, UK & USA. And in the Middle East, you will find significant Shia communities in Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, & even UAE along with many other places. Shias do make up 15% of the Muslim population, however Sunnis have many factions within themselves. The Maliki’s, and the Hanafis, and the Hanbalis, cannot all be counted as one, considering they have significant differences in their methabs.. the split between these methabs would make them also 15% - 10% for each. Then you have the Wahabis who also claim to be Sunni, however make up about 1% but are living off of this “Sunni majority” thing lol. Numbers and statistics can be deceiving, and so we should try to be careful in how we throw them around. Salamalaykum

@@dauphin003 How sick? How sick is your sectarian hatred. For starters in sahih bukhari and sahih muslim it says follow the quran and the ahlulbayt not quran and sunnah. The whole foundation of sunnah is based on a false argument. You know why ablutions and prayers are different because Khalifah made changes and this is even documented in sunni hadiths. Umar introduced the crossing of arms in prays. This why maliki's who are sunni don't cross their arms because the prophet never did. The quran doesn't say to wash feet even famous sunni scholar ar Razi admits (O you who believe! when you rise up to prayer, wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbows and wipe your heads and your feet to the (two) ankles. 5:6) Imam ar-Razi declared: “The evidence of those, who thought that wiping the feet was obligatory, was based upon the two kinds of reciting the phrase (and your feet) mentioned in the verse of wudu’. Ibn Katheer, Hamza, Abu Amr an Aasim recited the phrase in genitive and Nafi’, ibn Aamir and Aasim recited it in accusative. Reciting it in genitive determined that (your feet) was coupled to (your heads) and then as it was obligatory to wipe the head it would be obligatory to wipe the feet. As for reciting it in accusative, it also determined that it was obligatory to wipe the feet because the saying (and wipe your heads) made (your heads) as object and (your feet) was coupled to (your heads) so both of them were objects of the verb (wipe)”

[@Shia.Ahlulbayt]

The interpretations of the quran is not straight forward. The Prophet said to take the interpretation of the quran from him and his ahlulbayt. Quran even warns in it that verses can be taken out of context. The sunni claim the prophet said to follow the quran and sunnah. Problem is in their 2 most authentic books sahih bukhari and sahih muslim you will find it say quran and ahlulbayt but you won't find it saying quran and sunnah. If that is their most authentic book doesn't have basis of how they gather the evidence for their beliefs it is a problem. That is an understandment. Question why don't they follow the quran and the ahlulbayt? They claim they do but the khalifah made changes which they will openly admit and they follow these changes. So they aren't following what the prophet asked. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV62qmmagL2seck

Let me ask one question.... did Ali (ra) ever complained or revolted on the issue of so called "Right of succession ".? . did any of the later descendants of Ali (RA) wrote on this... i am a sunni who believes Ali (Ra) is a Perfect Man.. please enlighten me..

[@rayanredha623]

Yes, Ali (as) did contest any successor apart from him. But abu bakr and umar they wanted to kill all the household of the prophet who were reject the coup of abu bakr. If you read khubah that hazrat Fatimah said in front of abu bakr you will face such an eloquent defence of Imam Ali's right of successorship. You can also read direct words of imam Ali in council of 6 and elsewhere. There is no man after the prophet has even an iota of legitamcy to be successor of the prophet EXCEPT ALI. There is no way that even today with all the fake narations concocted into Sunnis book in favour of 3 cailifs, any of the Sahaba can be compared with Ali (a), especially those who usurped the right of succession from ali by coup de tat in thaqifa of bani saaida. Mostvimportantly, The prophet (sawaws) himself, many times CLEARLY emphasised that Ali is my succesor right after me.

[@ThirdEye0077]

@@rayanredha623 but Ali (Ra) was also a caliph... i can not reach into a conclusion unless there is a live debate between supreme Shia and sunni clerics.. plus i cannot agree with Shias who degrede and abuse Ayisha Ra.. because nabi kareen Sa was with her during his last times

[@rayanredha623]

Brother, We shall not mix few issues together. You brought up in your last excerpt 3 main issues. 1. "But Ali (as) was also Calif...". It is not the matter that Ali (as) became Calif 25 years after the death of the Prophet (sawaws). The matter is that there should have not been any other Calif before Ali and BUT ONLY ALI. (.... anta khalifati min ba3di..) ( just after me.) In the other hand abu bakr, umar and uthman have usurped Ali's pisition by force and deceit and due to their ill intention and extreme lack of knowledge have deviated from the true pathway of islam and the prophet. 2. "Debate between top sunni and shia scholas..." A. The great Sunni scholars now a day will always refuse to have a debate. Because they know the sect they are following is not based on truth and proper Islam. And if they debate they do it with an unknown grade zero shia mulla who has no experience or knowledge to answer them. B. There were and still are open invitation to the sunni great scholars for debate from Shia scholars, but Sunni schollars ignore it. C. In past there were debates in this matter and great sunni schollars in the debate when found the truth they were guided to become a true Muslim (shia ithna ashari). Example of past debates: ▪︎ is a book transcript of one of great shia schollars with 5 or 6 prominent sunni scholars in shiraz many years ago. It is called "shabhaye bishaboor" it has taken place for at least 10 nights and jury were compering it. If you are really after the truth then read it. There is re-enacted film of it on youtube as well. ▪︎ Another example is debate of imam Reza (as) with all greatest scholars of the world in sunni, jews, chritians, zoroasterians etc at the court of Abbasid. a short excerpt of it is available on youtube. ▪︎ And many more 3. Shia who reject Ayisha and you don't accept coz the prophet was with her. A. It is true and rightly so that all shia reject Ayisha. B. Just because prophet was with her is no bearing here. Noah the prophet also was with her wife, hood and lut as well The Quran has declared the mishuided position of ayisha and hafsa. (Zarab allah mathalan amreata ....." is in declaring that heart of ayisha and hafsa are deviated. Check the Quranic tafasir. C. Further, Ayisha became power hunger and extremely deviated after the prophet. She also rioted against the imam Ali (as) your 4th Cailif. And according to sunni books whoever does that has a place in burning hell. There is no sign of repentence on that from her either. D. In that account the prophet warned her of 'kalab al awhab, BUT SHE IGNORED THE PROPHET'S ORDER, AND WHOEVER DOES THAT HAS A PLACE IN HELL. E. Many other things about ayisha but these points reveals the deviated stance of ayisha. F. I agree with you that we should not say swear (curse) at her, not because she doesn't deserves (she does), it but just for the respect of the prophet. But it doesn't mean we cannot discuss her deviated position academically and intellectually to reveal the truth The great schollars of shia banned curse on ayicha etc (eg khamenei, sistani, etc). Howevere, there is a very real few thousand minority who propsgate swearingvand it is not accepted by the rest of shia. Read the book by Dr Tijani (then I was guided). He was a sunni schollar found the truth and became shia. May Allah guides you to the Truth.

Secondly, imam ali (AS) fought under the rule of the caliphs and risked his life for islam, named his kids after their names (Uthman ibn Ali, Umar ibn Ali and Abu Bakr ibn Ali who all martyred during karbala) and gave his daughter zaynab al sughra to Omar (RA) , Imam ali even married Asma bint Umais after she was widowed following the death of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib (AS), Abu Bakr (RA) married her and after the death of abu bakr (RA), Imam Ali married her (AS).

It started from a political perspective. Then the descendants of the prophet pbuh was glorified to an extent that exceeds human status and even propethood. Which is wrong. Also, sunnis take that, the appointment of Abu Bakr ra as the imam of the whole muslim community when he pbuh was sick is proof that Abu Bakr ra, was the rightly caliph.

Do you think Abu bakr was superior than Imam Ali ibn Abu Taleb (as)? Why do you think the matter of succession is about having blood relationship with Prophet Muhammad (S) if that was the case then Abbas the uncle of Prophet Muhammad (S) was more deserving than Imam Ali (as) because he was old like abu bakr but Prophet Muhammad (S) didn't appoint him as his successor but rather he chose Imam Ali (as) as his successor in the Hadith of al ghadeer.

Quran says: "So ask the Ahl al Dhikr (People of Remembrance) if you do not know." Quran 16:43 and 21:7 This verse is clear that a group of people, referred to as the People of Remembrance, exist who know the correct answers to questions. It is evident the Quran is referred to as 'al-Dhikr' in a number of verses in Quran 3:58, 21:50, 36:69, 41:41, including the verse: "We have revealed al Dhikr (i.e., Quran) and We surely protect it." Quran 15:9. Therefore the Ahl al Dhikr are the people of the Quran. The Ahl al-Quran are the Ahl al Bayt of the Prophet, who are inseparable from Quran until the Day of Judgment according to the undisputed tradition of thaqalayan (referenced below). Second, and even more explicitly, the Prophet is referred to in the Quran as Dhikr, where the Quran says, "Allah has sent to you a Dhikr - a Prophet who recites for you the verse of Allah." Quran 65:10-11. Therefore the Ahl al Dhikr are the Ahl al Nabi, which is clearly the Ahlul Bayt, Quran 33:33. Tafsir Qurtubi and Tafsir Thalabi verse 21:7 relates: When the verse, Ask the Ahl al Dhikr was revealed, Ali said, "We are the Ahl al Dhikr." Tafsir Tabari and Tafsir Ibn Kathir, verse 16:43 relates that Abu Jafar al Baqir, the fifth Shia Imam, said, "We are the Ahl al Dhikr. The tradition of the two weighty items or thaqalayn is universally accepted by both Sunnis and Shia. It is famous and mutawatir. The tradition is transmitted through numerous companions through a large number of distinct chains of transmission, making it truly mutawatir. See: Sahih Muslim #31.5920-3 The Prophet said, "I am leaving among you two weighty things, one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it... The second are the members of my household (Ahl al-Bayt; Quran 33:33). I remind you of the members of my family." Sunan Tirmidhi #3788; Musnad Hanbal #11147 and #11119; and Fada il Hanbal #1382 The Prophet said: I leave for you that which, if you stick to it, you will never be misguided after me. One is greater than the other. The Book of Allah, which is a rope extending from heaven to earth, and my close family (itrah), my Ahl al Bayt. They will not separate from one another until they come to me at the fount. So watch how you succeed me (takhlufuni, form the same root as khalif) in the two." Also see the other prominent sunni works this tradition is mentioned: Mustadrik Hakim #4576 and #4711 (certifies the tradition authentic by the criteria of Bukhari and Muslim) Musnad Hanbal #11578, #19332, #19285, #21618, #21697 Kanz al Ummal #872, #873, #944, #946, #951-3, #957, #958, #1657, #12911, #36340, #37620-1, #39192 Fada il Hanbal #968, #1032, #1383 Majma al Zawa id #14957-9, #14962 (certifies the chain as excellent) Mustadrik Hakim #6272 (certifies as authentic) Sunan al Kubra Nasa i #8175 Sunan al Kubra Bayhaqi #2679, #13017, #20122 Khasa is Nasa i 93 Jami al Saghir Suyuti #2631 Khasa is al Kubra Suyuti 2:395 Fayd al Qadir #1608, #2631 Usd al Ghabah 2:16 #1165 (Hasan ibn Ali) Tarkh Ibn Kathir 5:228, 7:386 Tarikh Damishq 19:258, 41:19, 42:216, 54:92 Ibn Abi al Hadid 6:375, 9:133, 10:270, 18:43 Tafsir Ibn Atiyya, verse 55:29 Tafsir Baghawi, verses 42:23 and 55:31 Tafsir Baqa i, verse 55:31 Tafsir Durr al Manthur, verse 3:101 and 3:103 Tafsir Abu Hayyan, verse 55:31 Tafsir Ibn Kathir, verse 33:33 and 42:23 Tafsir Khazin, verses 42:23 and 55:31 Tafsir Nisaburi, verses 3:101 and 3:103 Tafsir Razi, verse 3:103 Tafsir Thalabi, verses 3:132, 33:33, and 55:31 And more.

Disappionting that even a man like him believes that majority is right. For example he completely caricatures the views of kharijites and totally fails to appreciate that so called Sunni faith was ‘faith of the crown’ . Sunnis have never claimed that abu bakr was most suitable because he was most suitable. They say that he became caliph under the conditions that he did so we follow him. There is a great difference. It was touch and go in sakifa. Abu bakr himself proposed umar. He used his tribal affinity to prophet and racist idea of being a quraysh to argue his suitability over the ansaar. The same argument of proximity to prophet wouldve meant Ali or another banu hashim was more suitable. It was a clear and classic political move to capture power.
