Few of the main shia beliefs are that
Points to note :
It is not legal in shia sect to marry a non muslim.
Allah Almighty commands the Muslims in the Quran to only marry righteous people:
“And marry such of you as are single and the pious.” (Quran, 24:32)
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 24:32] - http://www.al-islam.org/Quran/
Ayama, plural of aiyim (single), here means anyone not in the bond of wedlock, whether unmarried or lawfully divorced, or widowed. The choice of the spouse should not be influenced by beauty or wealth. There is no better quality than righteousness to be sought in the life-partner.
Conversely, it is Haram (forbidden) for a Muslim to marry an unrighteous person. The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) has said:
“You should marry the religious woman, otherwise you will be a loser.”
Maula Alis marrige to daughter of prophet peace be upon him is a matter of great respect and signifies his position. ( well subhanallah by all means it does even as per Ahle Sunnat )
Facts :
Four Caliphs and Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) Related by Marriage
Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) married Aisha (رضّى الله عنها),daughter of Abubaqar Siddiqe (رضّى الله عنه)
The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) also married Hafsa (رضّى الله عنها), the daughter of Umar bin Khattab (رضّى الله عنه) who was the second Caliph.
The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) first gave his daughter Ruqayyah (رضّى الله عنها) to Uthman (رضّى الله عنه), and then later, he also gave him his other daughter, Umm Kulthoom (رضّى الله عنها).
Maula Ali (رضّى الله عنه) gave his own daughter in marriage to Umar (رضّى الله عنه). Her name was Umm Kulthoom (a different Umm Kulthoom than the Prophet’s daughter). and from this Marrige he had a Son: Zayd ibn 'Umar, (famously known as Ibnul Khalifatayn; the son of the two Caliphs i.e Umar and Ali). and Daughter: Ruqayyah bint 'Umar . This marrige was when Umar bin Khattab (رضّى الله عنه) was on the position of 2nd Khalifa
[References : since this fact is unknown to most shias , i am presenting reference for this from shia books
There are at least four Shia Hadith in Al-Kafi that confirm the marriage of Umm Kulthoom bint Ali to Umar bin Khattab. Here, we provide Shia websites that quote these Hadith.
The first two Hadith appear under the heading “Chapter of Umm Kulthoom’s Marriage.”
ام كلثوم هذه هى بنت امير المؤمنين عليه السلام قد خطبها اليه عمر في زمن خلافته فرده اولا فقال عمر ماقال وفعل مافعل
Translation: “[Regarding] Umm Khulthum, who is the daughter of Ameer al-Mu’mineen Ali, Umar proposed to Ali for her hand in marriage during his [Umar’s] caliphate, and at first Ali refused him. So then Umar said what he said, and did what he did (i.e compelled Ali by words and force].” ]
As can be seen, all of the Three Caliphs were linked to Prophet Muhammad (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) through marriage, blood, or both.
Maula Ali (رضّى الله عنه) Named His Sons after the Three Caliphs
[If three men named Tom, Dick or Harry came to my house and killed my wife and unborn child, then I don’t think I would ever name my kids Tom, Dick or Harry. Whether or not that these are common names, the fact that these three individuals did what they did would be enough for me to stay away from these three names. Regardless of the fact that these are common names, there is no chance that a man today would name his children Tom, Dick or Harry after the murderers of his wife/child who had the same exact names. Likewise, the Shia accuse Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman raziallhutalajmaeen of oppressing his family, killing his wife and unborn child; it is therefore highly unlikely that Maula Ali would then name his children after them. Why would a person name one of his sons after the man who killed another one of his sons?
Also keep in mind the fact that the names of SHIAs today will never have names of first 3 caliphs , all of todays shia who cliam to follow MAULA ALI are capable to think of names which does not have any relation to first 3 caliphs and even hazrate Ayesha Siddiqa raziallhutalanha - IF SHIAS of today can think of such names WAS IT DIFFICULT FOR BABL UL ILM(Maula Ali ) ?]
It is Allah who gave Ayesha Siddiqa (رضّى الله عنها),and other wives of Prophet(صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) the title of MOTHER OF MUSLIMS
[ How can the mother of Muslims, as declared by Allah in QURAN, be an enemy of the Muslims as per history books ?]
and it did not stop there ... it was a time when Hate monger Munafiks displayed their hatred to Ayesha Siddiqa (رضّى الله عنها), by making Allegations against her purity and character . who defended her ?
Hadis : “Who would exonerate me from the accusations of that person who has troubled me in regards to my family? By Allah, I find nothing in my wife but goodness!”
(Sahih Muslim, Book 37, Number 6673)
Allah relevaled QURAN in her Support declaring her Muslim and pious
[[Noor 24:12] Why was it not that the believing men and women, when you heard it, thought good of their own people, and had said, "This is a clear accusation"?
here allah says when you heard it WHY did you even wait for a proof , why did you not think good of her ]
ALLAH Warned " Muslims " NOT to do anything like THIS (slandering , raising accusations)
[[Noor 24:17] Allah advises you never to speak like this again, if you have faith.
well is this not the entire shia community doing against the advice of allah and repeating the likes what Munafiks did then? ]
Maula Alis (رضّى الله عنه). Advice
The Nahjul Balagha is one of the most important books of the Shia, which they claim are the letters and sermons of Maula Ali (رضّى الله عنه). In that book, we find Maula Ali (رضّى الله عنه) delivering the following speech:
Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 126:
“With regard to me, two categories of people will be ruined, namely he who loves me too much and the love takes him away from rightfulness, and he who hates me too much and the hatred takes him away from rightfulness. The best man with regard to me is he who is on the middle course. So be with him and be with the great majority of Muslims because Allah’s hand of protection is on keeping unity. You should beware of division because the one isolated from the group is a prey to Satan just as the one isolated from the flock of sheep is a prey to the wolf. Beware! Whoever calls to this course [of sectarianism], kill him, even though he may be under this headband of mine.”
As per shia election of Caliphate was done by majority hence Majority Group was NOT shia
It is only SHIA SECT who claim to be under headband of Maula Ali
Who killed Maula ALI (رضّى الله عنه)
During his Caliphate, Ali (رضّى الله عنه) shifted the Caliphate from Medinah to Kufa in Iraq. The Kuffans were staunch Partisans of Ali (Shia’t Ali). The Jew Abdullah Ibn Saba found the Kuffans to be very receptive to his claims that Ali was divinely appointed by Allah, and his followers became the Saba’ites. When the Shia’t Ali met the Shia’t Muawiyyah on the battlefield, Muawiyyah (رضّى الله عنه) convinced Ali (رضّى الله عنه) to hold a cease-fire and to use arbitration to decide who will be the Caliph. Ali (رضّى الله عنه) agreed to arbitration. This angered the Kuffan Saba’ites because they held the erroneous belief that Ali had been divinely appointed by Allah, so they believed that Ali (رضّى الله عنه) was going against the will of Allah by agreeing to arbitration. In their minds, there could be no negotiation on a matter that was decreed by Allah. Some of these Kuffan Saba’ites rebelled against Ali (رضّى الله عنه), turning on him and calling him an apostate. These people would be known as Kharajites, and they would eventually assasinate their leader Ali (رضّى الله عنه), the same leader they had once claimed so much love for.
As for the remaining Kuffan Shias who did not become Kharajites, they would later join the forces of Hasan (رضّى الله عنه)
Hazrate Amir-e-Muawiyaa(رضّى الله عنه) was made Amir of Muslims by Imam Hassan(رضّى الله عنه).
[ IMAM Hasan did not trust these Shia either as they were very disloyal. In his book al-Ihtijâj, the prominent Shia author Abu Mansur at-Tabarsi has preserved the following remark of Hasan:
By Allah, I think Muawiyyah would be better for me than these people who claim that they are my Shia.
[Abû Mansûr at-Tabarsî, al-Ihtijâj vol. 2 p. 290-291 , Mu'assasat al-A'lamî, Beirut 1989]
Distrusting his Shia, Imam Hasan raziallhutalanhu made peace with hazrat Muawiyyah raziallhutalanhu and gave him the Caliphate.
His Shia protested at this, and Imam Hasan's raziallhutalaanhu reply is preserved in the most important of the Shia books of Hadith, Al-Kafi:
By Allah, I handed over power to him for no reason other than the fact that I could not find any supporters. Had I found supporters I would have fought him day and night until Allah decides between us. But I know the people of Kufa. I have experience of them. The bad ones of them are no good to me. They have no loyalty, nor any integrity in word or deed. They are in disagreement. They claim that their hearts are with us, but their swords are drawn against us.
(Al-Kafi, vol. 8, p.288)
What kind of following is this ? A Leader decides on an issue and Follower does opposite !!!!
what we see now after 1400 years is dust settled over the facts which show contradtictory facts
To Understand Maula Ali (رضّى الله عنه) and the right opinion regarding Amir e Mawiyyah(رضّى الله عنه) or any other isssues of Battles we SEEK the opinion of Ahle baith , IMAM HASSAN(رضّى الله عنه) , IMAM HUSSAIN(رضّى الله عنه) .
they DID see all the battles and knew Quran and hadis more than us or any Historians ..
when Imam Hussain DID peace him we will not Fight against him
When Imam Hussain Did not DO peace with him and sacrificed himself - WE WILL NEVER BE AT PEACE with THEM
When Muawiyyah (رضّى الله عنه) died, however, his son Yezid declared himself the new Caliph, in violation of the agreement settled with Hasan (رضّى الله عنه) which stated that Hussain (رضّى الله عنه) would be Caliph. hence startred KARBALA ...
]
A Shia Killed Sayyiduna Hussain (رضّى الله عنه)
The Shia of Kufa are the ones who abandoned Sayyiduna Hussain . What the Shia propagandists will reply to this is that “sure, the Shia are the ones who didn’t defend Sayyiduna Hussain but it was the Sunnis who actually killed him!”
However, this is not true at all. The man who killed Sayyiduna Hussain (i.e. gave the death-blow) was a man by the name of Shimr bin Thil-Jawshan and he was a Shia, as recorded in both Sunni and Shia books. Shimr was part of the Shia, and then he betrayed Sayyiduna Hussain and joined Yazid’s men, giving Sayyiduna Hussain the death-blow.
To provide a solid proof of this fact (i.e. that Shimr was a Shia), we refer to the esteemed and classical Shia scholar, Al-Qummi. Al-Qummi, author of the famous book “Mafaatihul-Jinaan”, writes in his book: “I say, Shimr was in the forces of Ameer al-Mu’mineen on the Day of Siffin.” (Al-Qummi, “Safinatun-Najaat”, vol.4, p. 492, Chapter Sheen Followed by Meem)
this is calling him shia as of sect because he claimed of SHIAT e ALI and later did this Dreadful CRIME.
Wahabism and Khwarji are the only sects supporting YAZID PALIT till date
DO WE NOT SEE HERE ACTIONS WHICH ARE SPEAKING LOUDER THAN WORDS
how can anyone believe in a historian and go against Quran and actions by Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) and Maula Ali (رضّى الله عنه) , there has to be an explanation of any events in history which aligns itself with Quran and Hadis , any conclusion contradictory to Quran and Sunnah should not be Acceptable.
WE As a MUSLIM should have loyalty towards ALLAH his Messenger(صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) and love towards Ahle Baith
One More Act of Shia Treachoury
Karbala was not to be the last act of treason by the Shia against the Ahlel Bayt. Sixty year later, the grandson of Hussain (رضّى الله عنه), namely Zayd ibn Ali ibn Hussain (رضّى الله عنه), led an uprising against the Umayyad ruler Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik. Zayd (رضّى الله عنه) recieved the Bayat (oath of allegiance) of over 40,000 men, of which 15,000 were from the same Kufa that deserted his grandfather. Just before the battle started, all but a few hundred men deserted Zayd (رضّى الله عنه) en masse. On the departure of the defectors, Zayd (رضّى الله عنه) remarked:
“I am afraid they have done unto me as they did to Hussain (رضّى الله عنه).”
Zayd (رضّى الله عنه) and his little army fought bravely and attained martyrdom. Thus, on Wednesday the 1st of Safar 122 AH, another member of the Ahlel Bayt fell victim to the treachery of the Shia of Kufa.
The Quran declares about SECTS and refering with shia :
“As for those who divide their religion and break up into shias (sects), you have no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.” (Quran, 6:159)
The transliteration of the Arabic reads:
Inna allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanoo shia’ an lasta minhum fee shay-in innama amruhum ila Allahi thumma yunabbi-ohum bima kanoo yafAAaloona
Shia means “sect” and all sects are forbidden in Islam based on this verse as well as many other verses:
“…and be not amongst those who join gods with Allah, those who split up their Religion, and become shias (sects) - each party rejoicing in that which is with itself.” (Quran, 30:31-32)
The transliteration reads:
Muneebeena ilayhi waittaqoohu waaqeemoo alssalata wala takoonoo mina almushrikeena. Mina allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanoo shia an kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona
“Then shall We certainly drag out from every shia (sect) all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against (Allah) Most Gracious.” (Quran, 19:69)
The transliteration reads:
Thumma lananziAAanna min kulli shia tin ayyuhum ashaddu AAala alrrahmani AAitiyyan.
“Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into shias (sects) … for he was indeed a maker of mischief.” (Quran, 28:4)
The transliteration reads:
Inna firAAawna AAala fee al-ardi wajaAAala ahlaha shia an yastadAAifu ta-ifatan minhum yuthabbihu abnaahum wayastahyee nisaahum innahu kana mina almufsideena
The common theme in Islam is that sectarianism and the creation of sects is Haram (forbidden):
“[Ironically] they broke up into sects only after the knowledge had come to them, due to jealousy and resentment among themselves.” (Quran, 42:14)
SO if SHIAS say
we are SHIAS : then Quran is warning against SHIA
if they say we are SHIAT e ALI (رضّى الله عنه) [as a name/identification of sect ]: the Maula Ali says dont follow the sect that runs with the name of my headband , he goes to the limit of saying KILL them !!!. -- keep in mind shias do believe Maula Ali has ilme gaib and all imams had Ilm e gaib ..
Racism
(Narrated) Several of our fellows from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Musa bin Ja’far, from ‘Amr bin Sa’eed, from Muhammad bin Abdillah al-Hashimi, from Ahmad bin Yousuf, from Ali bin Dawood al-Haddaad said: Imam Abu Abdullah [aalihissalm] said:
“Marry not from the Negroes (Zanj) nor the Khazar, for they have near relatives whom are unfaithful.” (al-Kafi, fil Furoo’: Book of Nikah, Chapter: Whom Are Disliked for Marriage, Narration 3)
He further said:
“India, Sindh and Qindh–not a single one of them [from there] is intelligent.” (al-Kafi, fil Furoo’: Book of Nikah, Chapter: Whom Are Disliked for Marriage, Narration 3)
India of course refers to India, Sindh to Pakistan, and Qindh refers to Afghanistan. Khazar refers to the northern areas near the Black Sea. And the Negroes are of course from the West of Persia in Africa.
If we notice, Shi’ism is racist towards everyone other than the Persians. People of every region surrounding Persia are considered inferior, including Africans, Kurds, Afghanis, Pakistanis, and Indians and this includes shias in India, Sindh and Qindh.
do we find any such advice in quran ? Does this even sound like these words were said by an IMAM !!!!
we read the opposite in hadis
The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) said:
“An arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor has a non-Arab any superiority over an Arab, nor has a black man any superiority over a white man or a white man over a black man except by the criterion of taqwa (righteous practice). All of you are from Adam, and Adam is from dust.” (As-Sunan)
The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) also said:
“Allah does not look at your shapes or your colors but He looks at your hearts (intentions) and your deeds. Creatures are the dependants of Allah and the closest among them to Allah are indeed the most useful to His dependants.”
Assabiyyah (nationalism/tribalism/bigotry) is strictly Haram (forbidden) based on the Hadith of the Ahlus Sunnah.
The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) said:
“He is not one us who calls for Assabiyyah or who fights for Assabiyyah or who dies for Assabiyyah.” (Abu Dawood)
The Prophet said about Assabiyyah:
“Leave it. It is rotten.” (Sahih Bukhari & Muslim)
