I was thought Dr Suwaidan. that you are most genius man, but I was wrong... Your mentality is match to Wahabi and Ummyad...this episode is generate more and more negative thought.. Cause you belongs to Suni. I am not say that All suni were wrong. But you people know the Reality of dividenes of two group 1400 year ago. you said there were two groups, one is Shia of Ali and other is Shia of Muawia.. What did Prophet Muhammad PBUH say about "Ammar R.A". You know the Hadees ثقلین. Then why you people follow the Muawia.. I don't know.. What did Muawia do for Islam? And Muawia abused Ali and told to all Ummyad scholar that every Friday Khutba, Abuse on Ali A.S.

[@wwiii7902]

In this episode, I realize that the mentality of Wahabi or Ummyad can neverever change like Dr Suwaidan.. In this video he explain that He is the most Idiot genius in the Muslims Era, which don't know reality, cause of following the Ancient Mullas of Ummyad.. So sad a man who study a lot but did not know the real reality. What will I say? Shia is the religion of Faith bravery courage and True solder of God and muhhamd and Ali.. Shia religion are alive religion... Shia are against the puppet Muslims.

I have been a Sunni Muslim for almost 50 years, and involved in the establishment of Islamic schools (Sunni) for more than 40 years in Australia. Right now, for various reasons, I am teaching in a Shia school. They respect me, and I respect them, although there are still many differences between us. The kids are the most devoted to their Deen of the students that I have taught over the years. The students know I am Sunni, and we often discuss our differences - on Salat, on the celebration of Muharram, but our ethics are the same, their love for the Prophet saw is the same, and their adab is good. There is hope 🤲🏻

[@mirmushtaqali9388]

I'm am shocked to read " on the celebration of Muharram " and I'm also not surprised at all you being a sunni Muslim for 40 yrs and you have not heard the word " Mourning in Muharram " Shia don't Celebrate Muharram, they mourn. Sunnie (Wahabee) and Ummayed clan celebrate Muharram cause it was their victory in the battel of Karbala killing and mutilating bodies of the Family of our Beloved Prophet Mohammed (SA). And I'm certain you have heard this "Celebrating Story" in your mosque in your 40 yrs of being a Sunnie Muslim. This clearly shows that you are there in a Shia school for just Monetary purpose and not to for real purpose of " teaching " As long sunnie / Wahabee keep calling the Killer /Enemies of the families of Prophet Mohammed (SA) as "Raziallah " there is no hope of shia and sunnie coming together . Shia are better off now- just leave them alone.

@@mirmushtaqali9388My fellow Muslim, what you are doing right now is making the situation worse. The sister you responded to was just trying to be nice yet you came out with aggressiveness and anger at the wrong time. You could have said it nicely. If anything, you’re making the Shia community look worse. The people that rule this world like to divide people into smaller groups because then they become weaker. The blacks against the whites. The women against the men. Muslims against Christian’s etc. Your helping the satanists etc by being aggressive at a time when being aggressive was not needed. There’s a time and place for aggressiveness. It was not the right to for it in this situation though

[@azizsafudin]

@@mirmushtaqali9388oh dear, sounds like a political event and nothing to do with the deen itself. So sorry it happened, and you are within your rights to mourn and commemorate the anniversary of that event, but make no mistake that it’s not part of our religion, Islam.

[@TomatosRaafatos]

​@@mirmushtaqali9388 Mr. Mir, I'm sorry to say that you're also basing this hugely emotional response on misinformation on what Sunnis believe. Yes, we know the Shia mourn the martyrdom of the beloved Husayn RA and his family at Karbala. The word "celebration" used in the sister's comment was probably an inaccuracy on her part, like the brother above said, so there is no need to make such claims on her intention. We obviously don't celebrate the killing of Husayn RA or anything of the sort, as that would be insane! We, too, mourn the death of the grandson of our Prophet SAS, but we don't live through it every year in the same way Shias do, so it's not that significant for us nor is it always on our minds; not out of disrespect for Husayn RA but simply that we dont give that particular emphasis on his martyrdom as the Shia do. We deal with that struggle as a Fitna that occured a long time ago, in which so many companions gave their lives as martyrs as well, and Allah saved us from it so there is no use for us in reliving it. As we don't have this tradition of ritual mourning in Muharram that's probably why the sister didn't pay attention to that word in her comment. Don't take it personally. That's one point. The second point is, not all Sunnis are "Wahhabis" and even Wahhabis don't curse Ahlul Bayt or celebrate Karbala or say Radiallahu An Yazid or any of that nonsense. Those who do so would be called Nasibis and Sunnis don't support them. You may be getting confused by what some of your Imams might have said. Sunnis only say RA on Muawiyah, and not his son Yazid, because: 1. Muawiyah was actually a companion of the Prophet (SAS). He met with him as a young man and narrated from him. That is our criteria of using that phrase "Radia Allahu Anhu" (RA for short) which we say automatically after the name of any companion. 2. Muawiyah himself never killed Ali RA or any of his family nor ordered their death, as is sometimes falsely claimed. He faught Ali RA in battle, yes, over the issue of Uthman's killers, and we know as Sunnis for a fact that Ali RA had the right in that fight, but they had agreed to arbitrate, which unfortunatelt hadn't reached a peaceful conclusion by the time Ali RA was murdered by the Kharijites (who also tried to assassinate Muawiyah but failed). So, to us, this was again a Fitna that occured between the companions that we don't involve ourselves in. As for Yazid, we all know he was a very bad leader by all accounts and did some horrible things and we thank Allah that he died quickly before matters got worse. We don't say RA after him cuz he wasn't a companion. The third and final point, we fast on the 10th of Muharram (Ashura) and observe it with religious solemnity in adherence with the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAS) as he did so himself in celebration of the day that Musa AS escaped with Bani Israel from Pharaoh. The Prophet SAS said that fasting that day would atone the sins of the previous year. Following this Sunnah is ultimately more important to us than anything else and so that's what we "celebrate", you could say. This all happened before the whole incident at Karabala which coincidentally happened on the same day of Ashura. Hope I clarified our position on this well and thank you for reading my long reply. Any inaccuracies to be found here would be from my own ignorance, and may Allah forgive me for it.

I agree, we should at least not fight each other. And fight the right enemy but you can see online how leaders in the shia world hate sunnis, and some even think imam mahdi will come and kill the sunnis. The sunnis have no beliefs like that... We think imam mehdi will unite all muslims

[@unkownsiner]

@@nomad7060I’m curious which Shia imam has made this comment. I myself have never come across this. I have an interesting anecdote from my family. Where I was told that they would cry when they heard what was happening in Palestine whilst they were being oppressed and killed for being Shia in Afghanistan. Trust me brother shias would rather unite then to fight or attack the Sunni. Unfortunately there are fringe groups funded by westerners on both end of the aisle. This problem is worse in the Sunni world due to the rise of wahabis.

[@TheReaper215]

I don't believe in doing takfir of all Shias, it depends on their beliefs some beliefs either held by a sunni or a Shia make you a Kafir. Like believing the Quran was changed for example, I don't care if you call yourself a Sunni or a Shia, if you hold that belief then you're out of the fold of Islam. And some Shia scholars had this belief and it's in their books, while I believe your normal Shia guy doesn't hold this view, some scholars who end up in positions of power do and it's very problematic. Not to mention, Shia scholars say that Muslims who don't believe in the 12 imams are Munafeqoon, hypocrites basically and that's even worse than a Kafir cause Munafeqoon have the most severe punishment in the hellfire and they'll remain there forever..

السلام علیکم Brother, first, Iran does not create problems for sunni brothers. Iran supports muslims, shia or sunni, who act based on the teachings of Quran. Iran and Hizbollah support Gaza and Palestine, who are sunnis, but sunnis do not support Gaza and Palestine. Second, a reasonable shia does not curse sahaba in public, and it is haram to do so. Shia does not want to provoke sunni brothers. Third, however, for shia, the issue of Khalafah, is not just a political struggle 14 centuries ago. It is about following prophet Mohammad صلی الله علیه و آله و سلم who apponited Ali علیه السلام as his successor. Finally, as a shia, i believe, as you said, that we are all muslims regardless of our differences : انما المؤمنون اخوه We should respect each other and we should not let our enemies take advantage of our differences in beliefs. والسلام علیکم و رحمه الله

Who says that Allah isn't above the throne (denying countless attributes), who goes ahead and has a literal difference of opinion that the Qur'an is corrupted? The sect that bombs Idlib (which is full of sunni civilians) whenever Israil bombs them? The sect that kills Sunnis in Pakistan and plays victim when Sunnis fight back? The sect that claimed that Aisha was a fornicator? The sect that praises the killer of Umar (Abu Lulu, may god Curse him). The people who support this unification are ignorant and deluded. These are a people who lack knowledge and think that this is a superficial problem. The problem goes much deeper than that and this is why the majority of Sunnis used to fight against them, with the Ottomans fighting them, Salahuddin fighting them for 30 years before even thinking to fight the Christians in Jerusalem. These are NOT superficial problems, their entire sect is based primarily on disparaging Sunni Islam.

There is a masjid 2 blocks away from the masjid I go to. It is a Bohra Masjid. The tableegi jaamat will go to every muslim except those who arent Sunnis. My masjid leaders set interfaith meeting with Churches, Synagogues, but no one knows anything about the Bohra Masjid. Few years ago 10th of Muharram was on a Friday. Not a word was uttered about the incident of Kerbala during that Friday Khutbah. We Sunnis treat the killing of Uthman Ghani, Ali Ibn Talib, Hassan & Hussein RA as plague. Even when you bring the topic up, the response is identical "Brother I do not like to talk about fitna". The only book in English that I have come across that spoke in historical detail about the troublesome Muslim past is by an Old Canadian peace activist - Lesley Hazelton - "After the Prophet".

The Shias who approve of cursing SOME sahabas is untenable if there is to be a genuine rapproachment between two sects of Islam. However the Sunni position of imposing a cloak of 'infallibility' on ALL the sahabas is equally untenable and if they were ALL beyond criticism then what was Caliph Abu Bakr's reason for the 'Rida' wars of apostasy wherein he killed many previous Sahabis? And what about the civil wars in the time of Othman where sahabis were drawing swords against each other or the wars caused by Muawiya ibn Sufyan to strengthen his grip on power which resulted in the killing of many Sahabis. The Sunnis must also move away from this position of not questioning the integrity of individual sahabis - they must be judged on their actions and not be clothed in a cloak of 'infallibility' when they clearly are NOT!

Thank you brother. Please read my response. 1. Imam Reza is the 8th Imam of the Shias and he was forced to accept the oath of Mamun to save the lives of the Shias, promote sirat of Prophet Puh and support the people in opposition to the Ma’Mun atrocities . When Ma’mun saw him as harmful to his khalifa, poisoned him. All 11 Imams were martyred or poisoned by the rulers of the time. I understand. It’s not our dear sunni brother’s fault. I told you for your information. 2. No country like Iran shouts unity among Muslims on their radio, television, press, and social networks affiliated with the government. Not insulting to Aisha, the wife of the Prophet puh and kholafa and companions is a major policy. Even In reciting the Ashura, only the Salute part is permitted in public. Shia clerics refer to Shia and Sunni hadiths in shrines. The other day Ustad Rafii ( talking in major government gatherings) mentioned Omar r.a did good deeds in Islam and return Fadak! If you don't speak Farsi, you have no right to accuse the Iran government regardless of you are in fan of the regime politically or not. You have to answer in front of God. Say Estegfar! Many times, the high clerics have pointed out that those who insult the caliphs publicly get money from the evil British. They are behind division of muslims. They are called English Shia. The Shirazis belong to the same category and are one of the staunch opponents of the Islamic Republic in this matter. This is from a religious and social perspective. Let us return to the political dimension. 3. Why did you ( lovely sunni brothers) decide to overthrow Assad, who was the most secular Arab state, among all the traitor Arab rulers? Why didn’t you mention about UAE's crimes in Sudan killing and displacing millions of people? Selling Pls Or just their recent one spying for Isr in Qaza undercover of running a hospital? How about Saudi Arabia, occupying Yemenis country for decades, recently establishing western bases in the north and south, opening Israel's feet and starving the Yemeni people?

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Read the Quran once in every month.” I said, “I have strength to do more.” The Prophet said, “Then read it in twenty nights.” I said, “I have strength to do more.” The Prophet said, “Then read it in seven nights, and do not do more than that.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4693, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1971

The true Deen to follow is what Rasul Allah (SAWS) and his Righteous companions practiced. By following the Quran and Sunnah. That's it.

[@heybudstfunow]

lol

[@blobbins17]

Shias follow ali - a companion of the prophet

[@HanaHana-ft9li]

@@blobbins17Christian also means follower of Jesus now answer this. Are Christians followers of Jesus? Did Jesus worship Jesus or Allah? Ali was never a Shia he was a Muslim who followed the sunnah of the prophet. He never prayed to himself or to graves nor did he indulge in Shia rituals like cursing the sahaba or self flagellation

[@HanaHana-ft9li]

@@heybudstfunowit’s funny shias claim to follow Ali when Ali hated nothing more than shias. Constantly cursed cursed and even called them you aren’t men lol Ali preferred the army of muawiya over his own “Shia” bcos shias are cowards and hypocrites wii just love fitna

[@zainkhorasanee1684]

⁠@@HanaHana-ft9liShia means follower so all Muslims are all (to lesser or greater degrees), including Imam Ali (a.s.), Shias (followers) of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him and his close family, his Ahlulbayt). The Holy Quran mentions that Prophet Ibrahim (Peace and Blessings be upon him) was a Shia (follower) of Prophet Nuh (Peace and Blessings be upon him)…

This is the only academic scholar that i know that does not curse sunni or shia, the language he uses makes sense. I swear by Allah this is only second video of him i watch and i already have big respect about him.

[@ayoubniyaz]

It may sound strange, but Yasir Qadhi in the USA also has a similar approach. He prefers not to insult and looks for practical approaches to unifying

[@karaeyed5057]

What a timely video. Just Had a discussion with my kurd turk bosnian and west european friends about how shia and muslims should unite. We are travelling in this earth toward God and the path is paved with mercy through beloved prophet's actions. We are not to convert anyone to any religion/sect but establish lands and jurisdictions where knowledge l, toughts and ideas are freely expressed and people choose their path as they like.

Dearest Sunni brothers, I am from Sunni background, and I have studied Iran and it’s is religious theocracy leadership (late Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini Musavi, and the current leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. And I have also studied and analyzed Syed Ali Sistani (Iraqi Shia leading scholar). These are the mainstream Shia Jafari 12ver of Shia Jafari. There is no crime against Sunnis or any Sunni or even Sunnis of Iran by the Iranian Shia religious theocratic leadership or by its supporters and shia community. It’s all a big lie and Israeli-saudi propaganda to slander and to divide Muslims. This leadership of Iran is best described by late Dr. Ahmed Deedat in his famous speech Iran a nation reborn. I believe all shia and Sunni should unite under Iranian Islamic shia leadership and make him our caliph’s. While we have our differences of views of history or fiqh (laws). if we Muslims do not wake up and unite under Iranian Islamic supreme leader Ayatollah syed ali khamenei and we are doomed and we will one by one end up like the Palestinians in Gaza. Iranian Islamic leadership is wise and sincere and that’s why Allah is giving them such high respect and honour in the ummah. There are the only hope in this dark tunnel of hopelessness. Allah wants us all to come under Iranian Islamic religious leadership. It’s a test for the Sunni world just like it was a test for the Jews to accept prophet Mohammad who was an ismaeli descendant not Israelite descendent.

[@spock949]

I wish I can learn more about Sunnis living in Iran. We really need to unite and Shia have done an epic job in defending Gaza. They were instrumental in breaking Israel economy الحمد لله ead of

You forgot Afghanistan, who have beaten both the Soviet Union and US in wars over 40 years. They are slowly recovering from the destruction caused by these wars and deserve to lead the Ummah as well. Pakistan is also a country who can be of great service to the Ummah if their political situation changes and the corrupt politicians removed. The block of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan could be the way forward and coincidentally they are all geographically linked

[@zainkhorasanee1684]

Salaams and many thanks for your most inspired comment dear brother in Faith, You have written words, the meanings and message of which, have been in my heart for many years. Pray that this message of Light will spread across the Muslim Ummah so that the consciences and understanding of many believers may awaken to see the realities of these “end times” that we are living through. Truly it is a test for us all to determine if we view events in an objective way and leave behind our prejudices that only foster divisions and sectarian strife…

Amazing talk and reflection on this topic

[@unkownsiner]

Ya sheikh jazakallah for your great insight. But I have a issue with your point on Iran, the majority of Shias curse the sahaba and Shias oppressing Sunnis. I’d like to start by saying yes radicals and fanatics exist in every group big or small. And we should use the teaching or the prophet, Quran and logic (as well as our elders sheikhs/marjas). You mentioned Iran in a very bad light and I understand to a certain degree your opinion on Iran but you never went into detail about what exactly they had done to deserve this level of hate to be called criminal etc. The Syria issue has now cleared up and I believe many Sunni brothers and sisters are realising that Syrias revolution was a western backed coupe that wanted to cut of Iran from first Hezbollah and secondly Palestinian groups. This is now more evident than ever as where are the wahabbi salafi brother who were ready to die for the sunni genocide narrative especially when there is another sunni genocide happening in Palestine. Till now you have sunni Palestinian resistance fighter defending Filistine, shias in Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Lebanon helping our brother in Palestine and Iran funding and supporting them all. Unfortunately we do not see this from the Saudis(bastion of salafi wahabis and so called leader of the sunni world), Turkey(soon to be leader of the sunni world) and or Egypt who has signed many agreements with the foreigns. Regarding the shias cursing the sahabas many Shia religious leaders have asked their followers to refrain and respect the sahaba. Including Iran, Iraq and unfortunately you will have Shias in places that are oppressed till this day ie Saudi, Afghanistan, Pakistan(to a lesser degree) will continue due to oppression and education. Regarding Shias oppressing Sunnis this is unfortunately something that is sometimes made to seem very prominent and the best example to date is the Syrian conflict. Shia Assad killing its Sunni population. I will say that when it first started sure people (ie all sunni Shia Christian Syrians were angry with the Assad government) but this was quickly high jacked by US and it’s vassal states in Europe and west Asia. Many send fighters and also allowed fighters from their own territories in the west. If they tried that now for Palestine they’d be in prison before even booking their flight. They made the whole issue Shia and Sunni when in fact it was a ruthless government protecting it self like if anyone was to riot and try to over throw as western nation they would be meet with fire and steel. What are we to expect from governments. They went on the fund the white helmets to boost propanganda tell me why haven’t we seen a white helmet version in Palestine where there is a heart breaking genocide a sunni genocide by the hands of a evil devilish entity. Back to my point that in the Morden world there are too many things happening behind the scenes to prevent us from uniting. I agree that there were attacks on Sunnis in Iraq or going back further to the Fatimids etc. But this being compared to Sunni empires and states and emirates is an inaccurate comparison. Again bad in response to bad is never a good thing. But unfortunately many sunni brothers do not read our (Sunni Shia) history where they attack the Fatimids, Saffavids, Iran, Shia Iraq post saddam, Shia Assad Syria etc but ignore Shia oppression and sometimes massacres in the Umayyad, Abbasid, Ottoman, Egyptian Mamluks, Saudis, Saddam, Afghanistan 1900s and Afghanistan 2000s, Afghanistan now and Pakistan just recently in Parachenar. Ya sheikh I would still thank you for you words of wisdom and I hope you return for more of these interviews. And I hope you reconsider your opinions on certain “topics” but inshallah this debate and through increases amongst the ummah so that we can build stronger bridges and walls to protect ourselves from the evil hand of the imperials.

[@billyjesus5442]

Iranian shism isnt really islam, its persian Zoroastrianism with the face of islam used for imperial means. Let me give you a recent example. The recent war between Azerbijan and Armenia. The armenians in 1991 with the support of Russia invaded Karabagh occupying it, committing genocide against 100,000 Azerbaijanis and forcing anothe 1 million to flee. When the war started again a few years ago who did Iran support? Did they support Shia Azerbaijanis against Christian Armenians/Russians? No they supported the christians in their murder and occupation of Azeribajian muslim lands. Meanwhile Turkiye is a sunni state, who did they support they suppoted Azerbaijan against the Russian, Armenian, Iranian axis. Shisim is only a problem to Islam when its Iranians behind it. Any other Shia's who are not controlled or influence by Iran are not an enemy of Islam. But any shia that follows the Iranian school of thought you can be sure is a major enemy of islam. One thing this show lacks is getting Turks onboard, all the major empires of the past 1000 years were created by them, whether it be the Ottomans, Safavids, Mughuls. You really need to get educated Turks on this show to give a real perspective of the situation at hand.

[@billyjesus5442]

Let me also add when you break down many of the iranian shia practices in islam its basically paganism, its so far removed from islam that we might as well call it devil worship.

[@HanaHana-ft9li]

@@billyjesus5442so true. I have seen so many Shias esp Iranian and Iraqi Shias they deeply love anything alien to Islam and get annoyed if you quote the Quran or any Hadith lol. It’s really astonishing
