It’s just mesmerising how good knowledge the followers of Ahul Bayt have ! I am living in Middle East since many years and without even knowing my closest friends were Shia ! I chose them because of their good character, well manners , good behaviour , they have knowledge about any matter not only religion matters and mostly they are outstanding in their lives , plus the way how they worship Allah , pray to Him respect Him , respect people who are the most important for Allah and so on ! I am a Muslim converted now since few years and I chose to worship Allah exactly the way how I saw my closest friends whom I chose them according to their good character ! I am a happy Muslim and 100% spiritually content with what I am following ! ❤thank you for your wisdom Ammar and may Allah bless you and your family ! And may Allah illuminate the hearts of all people on this planet now during this Ramadan and be with justice , with the righteousness, with seeking knowledge all times , with having a proactive approach towards things in life and mostly be kind and polite towards people around !

Hello salam it is gladness for me that you have an art of how to choose a good and wisdom friend because most of the people are recognise by their character if akhlaq is one of the heaviest thing among all amal on the day of resurrection no amal of you is acceptable if your behaviour is not good with your neighbours and people of society ..

Hazrat Ali (as) says he is “only a Muslim” because he is humble. Hadith from Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) about Imam Ali (a.s) when he says “Oh Ali! No one understands or comprehends you except Allah and me.” Imam Ali (a.s) is beyond any sect or school of thought. He is the center of spirituality. The following Tradition is attributed to the Prophet: 'God created 'Ali and me from one light before the creation of Adam... then He split (the light) into two halves, then He created (all) things from my light and 'Ali's light.'

Instead we fill childrens’ heads with nonsense (the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, 99+% of TV and movies for child audiences, True Love, Religions, Good Karma, etc.) and expect them to somehow figure out how to think accurately despite all of this noise. They encounter true facts and try to find explanations for these facts without knowing how, and too often they end up drawing from imagination and emotion rather than logic. If we started teaching them how to think instead of what to think, maybe humans in general would become better at it.

You are a honest Sunni who are respected by Shias. However just like how Christians have divisions amongst themselves despite calling themselves Christians, there are vast differences amongst Sunnis. For example, wahabbis or ahl salaf also call themselves Sunni and yet they don't have any respect for the household of the prophet (pbuh) they consider them as normal everyday people astaghfirullah. Then there are Sufis who also consider themselves as Sunnis and they have very high respect for ahlbayt(a.s.). The problem is that how can one Sunni have a completely opposite beliefs as another Sunni? Both deobandi and barelvi consider themselves as Sunni yet they do laanat on each other and call each other as kafir.

Imam Ali and the Caliphs Their Relationship and Interaction ‘Abd al-Karim Bi-Azar Shirazi
Translated by D. D. Sodagar Abstract Unknown to many Muslims, both Shia and Sunni, Imam ‘Ali had congenial relations and productive interactions with the three caliphs that preceded him. In practice his magnanimity knew no bounds and he acted as their faithful advisor and would pray behind them. Though in principle the Imam and his successors enunciated their right to the leadership of the ummah, they never acted upon it to the detriment of Muslim unity. This article proves to be a source of inspiration for present-day Muslims who are beset by the scourge of sectarianism; it is especially pertinent for those who look up to the Imam as an exemplar to be emulated in words and deeds. Introduction ‘Allamah Majlisi narrates the following authenticated hadith from the Master of the Faithful regarding how Muslims should speak of the Prophet’s companions: Let me advise you regarding the companions of the Prophet of God (may His peace and blessings be upon him and his household). Avoid speaking ill of them, for verily they are the companions of your Prophet, companions who altered not the religion and respected not those who altered the religion. Yes, the Prophet (may God’s peace and blessings be upon him and his household) thus advised me regarding them.1 In another instance, Imam ‘Ali thus describes the companions of the Prophet: “Verily I witnessed the companions of Muhammad (may God’s peace and blessings be upon him and his household), and I have not seen anyone like them.”2 In their turn, the eminent companions would refer to Imam ‘Ali as “the fellow of the Reminder”3 (ahl al-dhikr). For solving their problems and questions they would go to him. Thus in Masjid al-Nabi after each prayer, those seeking knowledge would circle around Imam ‘Ali to benefit from his illimitable knowledge. Jurists of Sham and ‘Iraq followed his verdict. Where the caliphs were unable to solve a problem, they would seek Imam ‘Ali’s assistance. Where their judgments differed from Imam ‘Ali’s, the Caliphs would usually defer to him.4 In his al-Mughni, Qudamah al-Muqaddasi narrates the following statement from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abbas: “Where we encountered ‘Ali’s opinion, we would not take that of anyone else.”5 Praying with the Caliphs Al-Shaykh al-Hurr al-’Amili narrates the following two hadiths regarding the Ahlulbayt’s praying with Sunni rulers: “Verily the Prophet intermarried with them50 and ‘Ali prayed behind them;”51 “Hasan and Husayn would pray behind Marwan.”52 ‘Allamah al-Sayyid ‘Abd al-Husayn Sharaf al-Din provides the following explanation on this topic: [Imam ‘Ali] performed his prayer behind [the Caliphs] sincerely for God. Thus we submit to him and seek proximity to God by praying in congregation behind Sunni imams. This is approved by the school of the Ahlulbayt: worshippers are rewarded for praying in congregation behind Sunni imams just as they are rewarded for praying behind Shia imams. Conclusion Thus Imam ‘Ali and his virtuous successors retained differences within reasonable limits so that the unity of the Muslim community would be preserved unharmed, as disunity would have been advantageous only to the enemies of Islam. As time passed, however, the interests of tyrants required that they foment conflict and provoke Muslims against one another so as to hinder progress. And today, though caliphate is not a political reality any longer, imperialist powers, assailing the Muslim world from every corner, try to rekindle the historical differences by inciting ignorant figures on both sides. And Muslims instead of standing up against imperialist powers, who are the real enemy, have preoccupied themselves with factional quarrel.

Subsequent to my previous comment, I strongly believe that the clarifications and arguments in support of own beliefs are best suited in conference setting where various Shia Sunni scholars ( like yourself and Javaid Ghamdi) listen to each other and present counter arguments etc. This is the modern norm in other matters of science and logic.

[@siak2910]

Syed Ammar, please comment on the point made as under: For an academic understand's sake, the mantle of Divine Guide was passed down from a prophet to another PROPHET in the family. So this analogy to justify the successership of Ali does not look quite accurate since we all agree Ali is no prophet just as there will never be any prophet after Muhammad PBUH.

[@mortezarahimi9547]

What Sahih Muslim 1757c Book 32, Hadith 58 importantly indicates is that Imam Ali even after the caliphate of Abu Bakr had not recognised it as legitimate because exactly what he thought of Abu Bakr ('a liar, sinful, treacherous and dishonest) he then thought of of Umar when he became caliph as Umar himself admits in the hadith. This is in complete contradiction with Sahih al-Bukhari 4240, 4241 Book 64, Hadith 278 as it claims that following the death of Lady Fatima, Imam Ali goes to Abu Bakr to make ammends and pledges allegiance. If this were true and Imam recognised the caliphate as legitimate, then why did Imam Ali then think of Umar as the exact same words ('a liar, sinful, treacherous and dishonest) when he succeeded Abu Bakr? Reading both hadiths screams out the contradiction

[@turncoat725]

So which one is it? Do you take whatever Hadiths works for you in one book and then whatever works in the next?

[@mortezarahimi9547]

@@turncoat725 we don’t believe in the books of ahlus sunnah to be completely reliable. But they are considered 100% reliable by ahlus sunnah and so upon them it is a hujja. Imagine we used Al Kafi to prove our beliefs that wouldn’t do any good for a person who doesn’t believe in its validity. We have our books and we know the truth but we can also prove them through the books of ahlus sunnah not for our own sake but for our Sunni brothers

[@siak2910]

I am hoping that this comments gets a response from Ammar or at least is addressed in some way. The issues of Saqifa raised here or before are very elaborately addressed by a renowned and progressive Sunni scholar Javaid Ghamdi. He gave a very confident and clear argument that the contemporary democratic norms were followed at Saqifa to elect Abu Bakr. Subsequently, the nomination and then inaiguration of Umer was also done through their time's democratic norms. Please counter-argue the thesis on this issue by Javaid Ghamdi.

Simple. When the prophet (pbuh) asked for a pen and paper to write down his will, they called him delusional. Go figure. Was that the norm too? Wake up brother.

3:155 Indeed, those ˹believers˺ who fled on the day when the two armies met were made to slip by Satan because of their misdeeds. But Allah has pardoned them. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Forbearing. 3:159 It is out of Allah’s mercy that you ˹O Prophet˺ have been lenient with them. Had you been cruel or hard-hearted, they would have certainly abandoned you. So pardon them, ask Allah’s forgiveness for them, and consult with them in ˹conducting˺ matters. Once you make a decision, put your trust in Allah. Surely Allah loves those who trust in Him. 3:195 So their Lord responded to them: “I will never deny any of you-male or female-the reward of your deeds. Both are equal in reward. Those who migrated or were expelled from their homes, and were persecuted for My sake and fought and ˹some˺ were martyred-I will certainly forgive their sins and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, as a reward from Allah. And with Allah is the finest reward!”

[@zedispahany7317]

Sermon 3 Shqshaqiya in Nahjul balaga has been added many centuries later by people with an agenda. First of all, authenticity is an objective historical judgment and has nothing to do with madhhabs or sects. The authenticity of a hadith, saying, or book is judged according to the accuracy of the sources, not the religious affiliation of the narrator or critic. Many Sunni and Shi’i hadith narrators and hadith critics have deemed authorities in hadith narration and hadith criticism respectively. Scholars have criticized the authenticity of Nahj al Balagh because of its lack of chains of transmission and unique religious and linguistic content that is unreflective of a work of its nature. For the most part, the sayings and sermons ascribed to Sayyidna Ali (May Allah ennoble his face) lack any full chain of transmission. Given that the sayings were collected by a scholar approximately 350 years after Sayyidna Ali, this calls into question the authenticity of the work.Secondly, most of the book’s content is not found anywhere else. When we look at any normal book of hadith or sayings of the early Muslims, we generally find a lot of cross-over with other sources. The fact that a whole host of quotes and sermons of Sayyidna Ali should just appear nearly four centuries after his death is very questionable indeed.

[@edlermaro6700]

Still doesn't make sense Rasulallah (saww) departing the world without leaving a successor. Open your mind, and ALLAH will guide you.
