Shiism & the Imamate | Syed Ali Imran

The Imamate is a core concept in Shiism. Syed Ali Imran answers questions from host Safiyyah Ally, including: Why is the Imamate so significant in Shiism? What differentiates the Imam from the Prophet (peace be upon him)? Why is the Imam infallible? Since the last Imam is in hiding, who do Shia Muslims rely on for guidance?
Syed Ali is the religious superintendent at Al Haadi school in Toronto, an instructor at the Mizan Institute, and an author on IqraOnline.net. He studied in the seminary of Qom, Iran for nearly 10 years where he focused on theology, jurisprudence, legal theory, and philosophy.

Jesus himself never said l am God, despite this being the most important thing mankind needed to know to gain salvation ( | Guess he was too busy with other more important matters like giving fishing lessons 🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠 🤦‍♂️ ) The Christians claim we must believe Jesus is God to gain salvation A Question for the christians 👉🏻 why did Jesus not make it clear by saying l am God❓

Being a Sunni muslim , i am really happy seeing you are focusing on bridging the gap.

Hi, could you please explain to why you add "Alli" at the end (SAW) when referring to profet Muhammad? I've noticed him and I am curious because "SAW" the sunnies say doesn't make reference to any companion name, as far I know. Thank you in advance .

[@dononeeye9912]

You are so wrong on so many levels. While shia's as a whole i believe shouldn't be judged, we can't look into everyone's beliefs, but we can certainly look into the scholarship of twelverism and pass judgement, it, as a creed is NOT at all Islamic.

[@KenanTurkiye]

Obviously Islam does not teach hatred, however we muslims are to know to uphold the infallability of ONLY THE CREATOR, and everyone else can make a mistake. Thus the concept of infallable imams in Shia is unislamic, and as muslims we need to recognize that and pray that they understand the mistake they are on. Respecting others and seeing them as brothers and sisters in humanity is one thing, but accepting their unislamic ways as islamic is another.

[@taherali1]

@@KenanTurkiye it’s very simple logic, the Quran is infallible and to explain the Quran you need an infallible to explain it. That’s why the prophet said I leave behind two precious things if you hold on to them you will never go astray, the Quran and my ahlul bayt (sahih Muslim)

[@ElderKarcha]

Salam Dr. Safiyyah 😊 Thank you first for this beautiful interconfessional dialogue. If I may add two very important things here: 1) Not every inspiration by God to his creation is “wa7i nubuwa”. As you know from Quran, God inspired the bees, Moses’ mother and Jesus’ disciples. 2) the knowledge of the Book or “3ilm-ul-kitab” that is given by God to some of his slaves is different than the Book or “al-kitab” that is given to prophets (see in Quran who brought Balqis’ throne to Solomon). Besides, God favored some with esoteric knowledge or “3ilm laduni” (see in Quran who mentored Moses on the journey that started in the sea)

[@NunyaBizness312]

It makes sense. They tried fighting him for years, then “ joined” him and then took over completely corrupting some of his teachings . Why would after going through all the trials and wars , would the prophet leave without appointing a successor? Why did many of those that wouldn’t give their allegiance to the new successor, die so soon after? Why wouldn’t they let him write a will when it is stated in the Quran, leave a will after you pass? Why did his daughter die a few months later ? Why would she die still holding a grudge against the new successor? If I was a detective, or a crime writer, I would suspect foul play and a conspiracy.

This is strictly about Twelver Shia (12 Imams). There is Ishmalis, Zaidis and Alidi(Turkish) If more people knew about Zaidi I feel it would be more mainstream & the numbers would be up drastically. Zaidi think Imams are fallible except in religious interpretation basically like The Pope. There can be more than 1 Imam in different nations only. The Imam doesnt only pass to father & son but can pass to anyone of decent. The Mahdi hasn't been born yet. Other than that it follows the basics of Shia for who would've known Prophet Muhammad pbuh best other than Ali as. He was the 1st male muslim, the only one allowed to marry his favorite child, acted like his secretary, ambassador, a chief warrior, raised like a brother and son yet his cousin and son in law. Then attribute how very little to no hadiths are attributed to the dude, how most the prophet family were hunted down bodies desecrated sometimes. Refusal by Aisha to allow his own grandchild he considered like his son to be buried near his grandad ( Prophet Muhammad pbuh). Plus at Ghandr Khums taking of hands, making the Mawla statement infront of the community all makes for interesting thinking for the open minded.

[@majorpremise]

Zaydis believe ʾAhl al-Kisāʾ (Muhammad, Fatima, Ali, Hasan & Husayn) were infallible or divinely protected like the Twelvers

[@amir_fahmi]

If the Syiah Imamate is the truth, the Quran would have mentioned this over & over again very clearly because it's the fundamentals of the religion. But the Quran don't mention even once. So the Imamate is human creation.

In Quran say Muslims must pray morning but don't mentioned how many rak at. It means it doesn't exist?? Imamat is upper than Prophet hood. Abraham is prophet Also Imam according to Quran which Allah give him Imamat. 124 Al baqara. After many years of Prophethood of Abraham Allah Give him Imamat. وَإِذِ ابْتَلَیٰ إِبْرَاهِیمَ رَبُّهُ بِکَلِمَاتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ ۖ قَالَ إِنِّی جَاعِلُکَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامًا ۖ قَالَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّیَّتِی ۖ قَالَ لَا یَنَالُ عَهْدِی الظَّالِمِینَ﴾

[@Abe8793-j1z]

This discussion doesn't represent all Shi'a Muslims. The Zaydis don't believe in the infallibility of the Imam and believe that all Imams after Imam Zayd must be knowledgeable descendants of Fatimah (AS) and chosen by a Shurah council; they also believe that their rule applies to their respective region and not all the Muslim Ummah--leadership over all is unrealistic. With regards to the Mahdi, Kamal Al-Haydari, a well-known Iraqi Shi'a cleric, stated that there are no reliable or authentic chain-based narrations that prove the birth of this so-called Hujjah or Sahib from Imam Hasan Al-Askari. The 12th Imam's existence cannot be proven. Even the Sunni narrations are unreliable and inauthentic when scrutinized; they most likely crept in from the Shi'a sources. The description of the Mahdi in the Sunni narrations exactly match that of Muhammad Al-Nafsul-Zakiyah, a descendant of Hasan (AS) who revolted against the rule of the Abbasids--coincidence?! I think not. The Mahdi is the "Muslim" version of King Arthur, a savior that will bring justice and solve the problems of the world--this messianic archetype is found in many cultures around the world. Religion shouldn't be mixed with culture and politics, as they corrupt it. May Allah guide us all irrespective of sect.

Glad this convo is being had. Upon hearing this, the Shia view about Imamate seem very weak and unable to stand up to scrutiny. Too many holes that are being filled in with whatever you want.

[@deedeebojack6042]

@Kumail12 not sure what you’re trying to say? Try using Google translator

[@keiek1]

The baseline comes across rationally but there does feel like inconsistency in the teaching. Divine infallibility comes across as a conjecture as it creates an infinite loop i.e. Anything which the 12 Imams could have done incorrectly must be false because they are infallible. On the other hand, from a rational perspective, if people affirm the occurrence of Ghadir Khum, the verses in the Quran clearly stating the obligation on those expecting death to bequeath a will and that those left behind should honour it as well as Imam Ali becoming the 4th Khalifate and playing a notable role in the subsequent leaders rule. (In addition to his role in the Prophet's (PBUH) life.) It would be fair to reach a conclusion that he could have been the leader afterwards and something may have occurred which circumvented that. The divine inheritance and knowledge would be comparable to revelation which creates a contradiction since if it is based on Prophetic Sunnah, the Prophet affirmed the inheritance of leadership to Imam Ali and this sequence should have followed suit through all of the subsequent leaders. Either way it is interesting that the grand result was the same form of ijtihad but just based on alternative sources ultimately. Sadly, things have most likely been exaggerated/manipulated on both sides of this divide to an extent only Allah holds the truth But always remember God will make clear the details we dispute over, Surah 3:19 إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ ۗ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran: Certainly, Allah’s only Way is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture did not dispute ˹among themselves˺ out of mutual envy until knowledge came to them. Whoever denies Allah’s signs, then surely Allah is swift in reckoning.

I actually would have loved to see him let the Quran speak, because much of the imamate creed has no basis in the Quran.

[@AbidAli-bv2gl]

Based on conversion with Moderator , Imams are divine. Last one is hiding. Even no prophets were divine based on Quran and sunnah. How can Imams are divine?

Not only that, they believe that they control all the atoms of the universe.

​@@bf6724 I'm shia but for the first time I see some comments like that. In our believes Ahlol bait is upper than sahaba. It's not hard to understand why you try to show it complex. The true successors of Prophet Mohammad are Ahlol bait. That's it.

[@دکترسعید-ذ4ح]

Because you don't read Quran. Quran has Aya About Ahlol bait who Massom as sins. Ahlol bait upper than many prophets according to Quran. Mohammad, Ali, Zahra, Hassan and Hussain. «...انَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ يُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا»

[@khalidmuhammad6111]

At any cost i don't accept shiasim. Leave immamtes and grace and embrace the sacred knowledge held by the rightly guided Ahlusunna wal jama'a sunni scholars the inheritors of Prophets. There is no one else on earth who has the sacred ,the holy, the spiritual,the beneficial knowledge of Allah delivered by prophets except for sunni islamic scholars from , Mecca, Madina, Yemen, Syria, Iraq Kuwait, Riyadh universities. All humans, budhist of Japan ,china, Brahmins of hindu India, jews,. Christian and shia of iran must rush to sunni scholars of Mecca Medina to purify their hearts towards Allah.

[@luanklobucishta1803]

This is so wrong mine blowing Muslims should only follow the Quran. That’s wat was revealed by Allah to our beloved prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him! Those who divid ISLAM into groups they don’t belong with God! Islam is simple and easy to understand!

God's designated authority on earth was always meant to be the Messiah who would reign over the earth forever, Psalm 2, Isaiah 9.
