[@adeelaart4945]

Ali ibn Abu Talib (as) on the Existence of God Imagination cannot reach Him so as to assign Him quantity; Understanding cannot think of Him so as to give Him shape; Senses do not perceive Him so as to feel Him; Hands cannot touch Him so as to rub against Him; He does not change into any condition; He does not pass from one state to another; Nights and days do not turn Him old; Light and Darkness do not alter Him; It cannot be said that He has a limit or extremity or end or termination, nor do things control Him so as to raise Him or lower Him, nor does anything carry Him so as to bend Him or keep Him erect; He is not inside things nor outside them; He conveys news, but not with tongue or voice; He listens, but not with the holes of the ears or the organs of hearing; He says, but does not utter words; He remembers, but does not memorize; He determines, but not by exercising His mind; He loves and approves without any sentimentality (of heart); He hates and feels angry without any painstaking; When He intends to create someone He says, "Be," and there he is, but not through a voice that strikes (the ears) is that call heard; His speech is an act of creation. The foremost in religion is the acknowledgement of Him; The perfection of acknowledging Him is to testify Him; The perfection of testifying Him is to believe in His Oneness; The perfection of believing in His Oneness is to regard Him pure, and the perfection of His purity is to deny Him attributes because every attribute is a proof that is different from that to which it is attributed, and everything to which something is attributed is different from the attribute. Thus whoever attaches attributes to God recognizes His like, and who recognizes His like regards Him two, and who regards Him two recognizes parts for Him, and who recognizes parts for Him mistook Him, and who mistook Him pointed at Him, and who pointed at Him admitted limitations for Him, and who admitted limitations for Him numbered Him; Whoever said 'in what is He?' held that he is contained, and whoever said 'on what is He held?" He is not on something else. He is a being but not through the phenomenon of coming into being; He exists but not from non-existence; He is with everything but not in physical nearness; He is different from everything but not in physical separation; He acts without connotation of movements and instruments; He sees even when there is none to be looked at from among His creation; He is only One, such that there is non whom he may keep company or whom He may miss in his absence. Holy Qur'an 41:53 - "We will show them our signs in the universe and in their own selves until it becomes manifest to them that this is the truth."

surah al Fatiha. You alone we worship and you alone we seek for help. How is it possible that people have been misguided on this concept. Wallahi i have seen so many videos of this imam. Wallahi this imam has so much dignity and comprehension of this deen. But I swear with grace on Allahs mighty name, there is and there was never any room to call upon other than Allah in this religion. Allah is the only one to be called upon, can’t the honorable from the Shia comprehend? Read the entire Quran as sunnaht rasoel Allah peace be upon him. His entire message was worship your lord, and only ask from him. Why and how did they invent or to ask those who are indeed in a high rank with Allah, to think that the only way is through them while Allah says the only way is through him and worship Him your lord alone and do not associate anything or anyone with him, nor u should ask for help any other than Allah alone, nor should you seek the help of the dead even if they were the Auwliya.

[@AbooLayth]

Ok. So we follow the example of the Prophet ﷺ, his family and companions رضي الله عنهم - where's the justification for calling upon them, sacrificing in their names, giving them attributes of Allāh such as Creating and Sustaining the cosmos, entering people in to heaven and hell, etc, etc.?? It's one thing g to honor, revere, venerate, and follow someone, and it's another thing to worship them as gods besides Allāh, making them intercessors between the creation and Allāh. As Allāh says the kuffār of Quraysh did: (أَلَا لِلَّهِ الدِّينُ الْخَالِصُ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ) (Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who take Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): "We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever.) [Surat Az-Zumar 3] So, may Allāh bless you and I with Guidance - āmīn, the argument made here doesn't really hold water, as they say.

[@truebeliever786]

"And those who take Auliya' (protectors and helpers) BESIDES HIM" Key words, "BESIDES HIM". We do not take anyone beside Allah because EVERYONE is beneath Allah (SWT). But just like the angels of Paradise who pray on behalf of the believers (Surah al-Ghafir 40:7), the Imams and the Prophets pray on behalf of the believers. It's a simple concept, not difficult to grasp when you wrap your head around it and it's certainly nothing close to Shirk.

[@HouseofHalal]

your question makes no sense. He just explained simply. We don't sacrifice or give Allah SWT's attributes to anyone except Allah SWT or take any person as God Astagfirullah. We strictly follow only what Allah SWT commands through Rasulullah SAAW and his grandsons, 12 Imams (A). They are beloved leaders/messengers/teachers

[@abumusab3324]

@truebeliever786 so you don't supplicate to imams besides Allah but you supplicate to them with Allah. This still makes you a mushrik because Allah said not to invoke anyone with Him. And that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone. (72:18) You said its ok to invoke anyone beneath Allah, in that case, you can invoke hindu elephant god if you believe he is beneath Allah. You took your whole religion from the Catholics, same shirk and same argument. This video shows striking similarities between the shia and the Catholics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYaZcpiMfq6Cbq8

[@bisergrana]

A very dangerous extrapolation. From sujud to Adem peace be upon him to conclusion that we should do the same or similar to/with imam Hussain peace be upon him. This is something that Christians do/did with Jesus peace be upon him. And that is why Muhammed saws was sent to rectify this. Did imam Ali every say/pray "madad ya Mohammed"?

[@ghalibahmed6676]

First of all you’re implying that Shias believe the imams to be Gods which is undoubtedly not true. Secondly the only thing that Christians did that lead them astray in terms of Tawheed was that they called Jesus God. Also tell me, is sujoood inherently an act of worshipping that which you are prostrating to? Or is it worship based on intention? Cuz at the end of the day, if a do Sujud towards the Ka’bah, the acceptance of my salah is based on my intention of why I’m doing sujood to the Ka’bah. If I’m doing it to worship the Ka’bah itself, that’s shirk. But if I’m doing it to worship God and using the Ka’bah as a means to seek proximity with god, then that salah is accepted. It all depends on the intention

It is the issue of tawwusul and it is intermediation to get closer to Allah. Don’t you read Quran to get closer to Allah (tawassul). Doing salah is intermediation because you are doing actions to get closer to Allah. But who taught the Ibadah for you to get close to Allah.

[@thelordknows]

No one is worshipping the graves. The graves/ shrine are there for their sacrifices they made for the religion of Allah. When we pray, we face the Qiblah not the grave. The Prophet used to mourn his uncle Hamza ordered his companions to do so. Don't make assumptions. If that was the case I could easily say to you that you worship the grave of the Prophet while this is incorrect, because when we pray inside the Mosque of the prophet we face the Qibla.

@@nongrada6004 Salaam brother. There Imammah are infallibles and rightful successors to the Prophet (pbuh). They are humans but that argument doesn't work because the prophet is human and he is not like you and me. The Imams do not sin and provided the best route to understanding the Sunnah of the Prophet, without the tainting of other caliphates. The Caliphate position is one which is actually designated by Allah (swt). However, due to the early corruption, Imam Ali (as) did not get the rightful position of the first Caliphate, thus producing the opinions you have today about the Imams and their positions. Imam Ali, was born in the Kaaba and raised by the Prophet, showing from birth his status in the Islamic world and his son Imam Hussayn (as) died in the battle of Karbala to save Islam from the tyrant caliph (Yazid). Imam Hussayn died on the battlefield in Sujood and was promised to be the leader of the Youth of Paradise. Furthermore, during the Mir'aj, the angels asked the Prophet about Imam Ali, as his status in Jannah was so high, as inscribed when the Prophet saw. I could go into so much detail about the virtues of the Imams and the Ahlulbayt (as), but to conclude the Imams are not like you and me, they have been divinely appointed after the Prophet (pbuh), to successfully lead the Ummah.

We do not worship The Ka'bah. We only worship God. We pray to the Ka'bah as a symbol of the unity of all the muslims in the world who face only one Qibla. Every act of worship should be directed to God alone. The act of Shirk (associating anything with god) is one of the major or al-Kaba'ir sins in Islam. Allah informs us about the Ka’bah in the Qur’an, saying: “And [mention, O Muhammad], when We showed Abraham the site of the House (i.e., the Ka’bah), [saying], “Do not associate anything with Me and purify My House for those who circumambulate it, and those who stand [in prayer], and those who bow and prostrate.” [The Qur’an: al-Hajj 22:26] In all of these roles, the Ka’bah is simply a place for worshipping God, and a focal point of that worship, and it does not represent an object of worship itself or an intermediary through which God’s help is sought.

We acknowledge that Allah (SWT) has no partner because to be a partner you have to be an equal and Allah (SWT) has no equal. The Imams and Prophets are servants of Allah (SWT), however their service is far greater than ours, thus when they pray to Allah on our behalf, it is far more valuable than our own prayers.
