Who are the Shi'a? by Sheikh Jalal AbualRub

The Shi'a Religion in Summary By Jalal Abualrub (www.islamlife.com)

Here is a summary of the Shi'a (Rafidhi) religion. This summary should be very beneficial for those who still cling to the hope of finding a savior in the Shi'a religion or its people; may they wake up from their long sleep and seek help from the only One Who owns it, Allah (I) the Exalted. Also, this should be a warning to those who know these facts but, for the benefit of their political or pocket agenda, choose to ignore them or even feel alright about them so as not to lose the benefits of cooperating with the Shi'a. They should be aware that Muslims like us will never be silent about exposing this false ideology and those who propagate it in action or by their silence.

What is Islam?

What is Islam? Islam, which means submission to the will of Allah, is built on two aspects, Iman and Islam. Iman, is built on the six pillars of faith: belief in Allah, the angels, the books (including the Quran!), the messengers, the Last Day and all parts of Al-Qadar, or Predestination. Islam, as it pertains to its practical aspects, is built on the testimony that there is none who deserves to be worshipped, except Allah, and to perform the Salah (prayer), Zakah (obligatory alms), Siyam (the Fast) and Hajj (Pilgrimage). All Muslims are required to have knowledge in these aspects so as to keep their religion intact and have it accepted by Allah, the Exalted.

What Are the Resources of Islam?

Islam has only two resources, both a revelation from Allah (I) the Exalted: the Quran, Islam's divinely revealed Book, and the Sunnah, the practices of Islam's Prophet, Muhammad (r), peace be on him.

This is What We Call Mankind To

How simple and magnificent this creed is! This is the summary of Islam. This is what Allah (I) and His Messenger (r) called us to. This is what we call mankind to. It takes only a few moments to learn the major aspects of Islam, and for this, we declare that all thanks belong to Allah (I) Alone without partners.

Allah (r) Preserved His Religion Perfectly

Allah (r) promised to protect and preserve the religion for mankind and He did so magnificently. Both the Quran and Sunnah have been kept preserved and intact and will remain so until the end of time. Not a single letter from the Quran was lost, and not a single authentic Hadeeth has vanished. The Ummah (nation) of Muhammad (r) has inherited all this wonderful knowledge and righteous practice through the Prophet's companions. The generation of the Prophet (r), his male and female companions, did both jobs superbly and beautifully: they preserved the Quran for humankind, and collected it in one universal volume that still exists to this day fully intact forever, and they preserved the Prophet's Sunnah, practicing and teaching it throughout their life.

However!

This is the religion of Islam, simple, powerful, beautiful and easy to learn, practice, and teach. All this sounds wonderful, doesn't it? However, by careful analysis of the Shi`a religion, one will be horrified, to say the least, on learning what this religion calls to.

We will mention here only some of the major aspects of the Shi'a religion, to be followed in later articles by exact quotes and references. This is only a summary, the details will come Inshaallah.

Allah!

Allah is described like this is in the Shi'a religion.

1. Allah's Names and Attributes: Just like the Mu`tazilah, the Jahmiyyah and similar sects, the Shi'a reject most of Allah's Attributes by altering their implications through the discredited method of Ta`weel. Therefore, where Allah describes Himself with an Attribute, the Shi'a reject, alter and corrupt its apparent meaning, and effectively deny it.

2. To the Shi'a, Allah (I) changes His 'mind', a Kafir creed called Al-Badaa, and He also regrets some of His Decisions.

3. Ali, as well as, other claimed Shi'a Imams, existed with Allah from the beginning.

4. Allah (I) Broke His Promise or was Unable to Keep it: read about this in the Quran section!

5. Allah (I) has shared His Attributes with the Shi'a Imams, such as invocation which is no longer directed at Allah Alone, but to the Imams as well. Some major Shi'a scholars say that to worship Allah Alone is Shirk (Polytheism), but to worship Allah and the Imams together, is Tau'heed (Monotheism). This reminds me of the most famous mathematical formula of all time: 1+1+1=1!

6. The Shi'a Imams are Allah's face.

7. The Shi'a Imams are entrusted with governing the affairs of the existence, to the extent that they control every atom in the world (as Khomeini said).

8. Allah (I) gave up the job of judgment to Ali. This is why some Shi'a scholars welcome this aspect hinting that Ali, who is surely free of all this Shirk, is more merciful than Allah (I).

We will say more in the details Inshaallah.



The Quran



Because the Quran has absolutely nothing to say about the Shi'a creed or any of its pillars, the Shi'a solution was easy: Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman corrupted the Quran! Therefore, since the Prophet's death, Muslims have been reading the words of Abu Bakr and Umar, not the words of Allah!



The Prophet (r)



Khomeini stated that the Prophet (r) failed in his mission. He also hinted that the Prophet (r) hid a part of the religion, since he failed to 'adequately' inform Muslims about the most important pillar of Islam, the need to have the Shi'a Imams as the infallible leaders of Islam and Muslims.



The Sunnah!



The Shi'a discarded the Sunnah completely, since to them, the Sunnis are disbelievers and so are all their scholars. After all, the two sects are called 'Sunni'; 'Shi'a'. By definition, the Shi'a are NOT Sunni, and the Sunni follows the Prophet's Sunnah. So, the Shi'a do not follow the Sunnah!



The Prophet's Companions



According to the Shi'a, all of the Prophet's companions became Kafir disbelievers after his death, except for 3, 5 or 7 companions, according to the generosity of the respective Shi'a scholar.



The Prophet's Wives



The Shi'a curse the Prophet's wives, call them as Kafir disbelievers and describe them as being wicked, immoral, cheating liars.



Abu Bakr and Umar (Don't Even Ask About Uthman)!



They are, according to Khomeini and his scholars of before, are the two idols of Quraish. The Shi'a curse Abu Bakr and Umar and call them Kafir disbelievers. In today's Islamic Republic of Iran, there is a huge Mazar (monument) erected for Abu Lu-luah Al-Majusi, the Kafir murderer of Umar (as a payback for Umar conquering Iran and bringing Islam to them!). They celebrate this monument and visit it like they visit the Ka'bah. They also celebrate the death of Umar every year! Abu Bakr and Umar, the two successors of the Prophet of Allah (r), are held by 'Muslims' to be the second and third best Muslims after Islam's Prophet.



The Prophet's Wives, the Mothers of the Believers?



To the Shi'a, the Prophet's wives are not believers, let alone being the Mothers of the Believers as the Quran declares them to be. First of all, the Quran was corrupted, so there is no proof there for the Shi'a. Secondly, the Prophet (r) failed in his mission and collected nine of the most wicked, evil women of all time as the Shi'a declare.



What About the Mother of the Believers?

Aishah, the beloved wife of the Prophet, the most knowledgeable Muslim woman of all time, whom Allah declared her innocence in His Quran, the Siddiqah (Truthful One), daughter of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (The Truthful One), is, basically, none of this to the Shi'a.

1. They curse Aishah in the worst possible manner and in public. (The party the Shi'a criminals had in London lately is the incident that caused outrage among Arab Muslims, because the people in that conference were celebrating the death of Aishah and cursing her in the most wicked manner, calling her an adulterer. I hereby thank the government of Kuwait for expelling the filthy criminal Yasir Al-Habeeb (rightfully called, Khasir Al-Khabeeth, i.e., the wicked loser) and stripping him of his Kuwaiti citizenship. When he was prevented from cursing Aishah in Sunni Kuwait, he continued his mission in Kafir UK. Free speech only works when it is against Islam, doesn't it?)

2. They call Aishah a disbelieving Kafir who betrayed the Prophet of Allah (r).

3. They claim that Ali 'divorced' Aishah from the Prophet (r) after his death.

4. They claim that she married (and worse) after the Prophet (r) died.

5. They accuse her of adultery. (Please, do not waste your time by quoting the Quran regarding her innocence! Remember what the Shi'a say about the Quran? To them, the Quran was changed and corrupted by none other than Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, the father of Aishah as-Siddiqah.)



What is Left of Our Islam?



O, Muslims who support Shi'a actively or by your silence! From now on, you should stop calling to the old Islam and just start calling to this other one instead where…

a) Allah (I) shared His authority and Attributes with the Shi'a Imams; b) Allah (I) regrets His Decisions and changes His mind; c) Allah (I) could not keep the Quran free from corruption; d) the Sunnah is null and void; e) the Quran was changed and corrupted; f) the generation that transferred the Quran and Sunnah, i.e., the Prophet's companions, were all disbelieving Kafirs; g) Islam's Prophet (r) collected for companions tens of thousands of Kafir, disbelieving devils, and had for wives wicked women who were sinners, some of them even committed adultery; h) Islam's Prophet (r) failed in his mission and did not deliver all of the Message; i) for more than 1300 years, Islam did not and still does not have a holy book since the real Quran was and still is hidden with the last Shi'a Imam, the Mahdi, who has been hiding in a hole in the ground for more than 1300 years, having water and honey as food!



No Thanks, We Like Our Islam the Old-Fashioned Way



Yet, with all these facts, there are still some Muslims today who act like at least one of the three monkeys: one placing his hands on his eyes, the other on his ears, and the third on his mouth! And they want to regain their Islamic unity and might and free Palestine by cooperating and supporting such an evil religion at the expense of Allah, the Quran, the Sunnah, the Prophet's companions and wives, and Aishah, our mother!

This is why when I hear some of my fellow Palestinians build palaces and castles in dreams of the Shi'a retaking Palestine from the Jews, I tell them this…



Do You know?



Do you know that…

1. Khomeini admitted that the Shi'a religion was started by a Jew (Abdullah Ibn Saba)?

2. In the Shi'a resources, when the Mahdi finally decides to leave his cave, and enjoy a more diverse diet than water and honey, he will remove the dead bodies of Abu Bakr and Umar from their graves, which are next to the Prophet's grave, and flog them. He will then destroy the Ka'bah, reestablish the Jewish Temple (for those who do not know geography, Jews say that their temple is located in the same place as Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, in Jerusalem), and use David's star as the simple for his state. (And to think that the poor Zionists had to fight their way into occupying Al-Quds and raising the Zionist star above it. All what they had to do is wait for the Mahdi, or at least his deputy, as Khaminei, the current Shi'a Imam, declared himself to be lately, to rebuild the temple for them, free of charge.)

3. Umar freed Palestine from Christian tyranny, and Salah ad-Din freed it again from Christian tyranny. The Shi'a curse both of them.



I declare that if this is the price to pay to win back my Palestine, I do not need it or need the people who retake it from the Jews to end up giving it to a religion that was started by a Jew.

I know some readers will totally dislike my articles about the Shi'a religion. They will not like to listen to the truth. They are dreaming of millions of Shi'a soldiers marching into Al-Quds to free it from the Jews and surrender it to the Mahdi deputy. They will be waiting for a long, long time. Frankly, I do not care if such Muslims dislike what I say here; I only hope in and fear Allah, the Exalted, the Most High. My only wish is that those who try and refute what I say be courageous enough to mention their full name as I always do in my books and articles, and to declare to us that they do not care if the Shi'a say all of this. However, the Shi'a and their supporters cannot refute what we state here about the Shi'a, because their books of old and new are full of this false creed and much more.

I end this articles with this wonderful statement by Imam Ibn Taimiyyah, "If you ask the Jews about the best among them, they will say, 'The companions of Musa (Moses u).' If you ask the Christians, 'Who are the best among you,' they will say, 'The disciples of `Esa (Jesus u),' If you ask the Shi'a, 'Who are the worse among you,' they will say, 'The companions of Muhammad.'"

Muslims Dividing the Religion into Groups

"What should a Muslim's Stance be Vis-a vis the Different [Muslim] Groups?

94) Question: There is much talk nowadays about the different Islamic groups that call to the way of Allah (swt) - groups such as Jama'at Al-Tabligh, the Ikhwan, and the Salafis. Which of these groups should we follow? And what should a Muslim's stance be with regard to the different groups that exist today?

Answer from the noble shaykh Muhammad Ibn Al-Uthaymeen, May Allah have mercy on him:

The stand I take on this issue is that I describe it to be painful and saddening, and I fear that, as a direct consequence of division among Muslims, the Islamic awakening we are witnessing today will weaken and fail. When people divide, their situation becomes as Allah (swt) describes it to be:

And do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart (8.46)

It is made clear in this verse that whenever people dispute with one another and become divided, they will fail and lose their strength, becoming insignificant.

All enemies of Islam, both those who display their enmity outwardly and those who hide their enmity within themselves, rejoice over our division, and if they can, they add flame to the fire. They will go to one person, whispering lies about another person in his ears, sowing dissension among Muslim brothers who call to the way of Allah (swt).

We must stand united and together defend ourselves from the plots of those who show enmity to Allah, to His Messenger, and to His religion. We must be one Nation in the truest sense, gathering together and benefitting from one another. In our unity, we must become as on caller. to accomplish these goals, the leaders of each country, those who have an influence over others, must get together, study the situation, and unite upon a plan that can accommodate everyone, even if they still differ in the way they perform da'wah to the way of Allah. What is important is that we be brothers, mutually loving one another and uniting together upon the truth.

The questioner asked, "Which group is the best one?" Were I to say that such and such group is the best one, I would, in effect, have acknowledged and endorsed the division, and I do neither; rather, I believe that we should become like one hand. we must look at our situation truthfully and sincerely- sincerely to Allah (swt), to his Book, to His Messenger, to the Imaams of the Muslims, and the common Muslims. The truth- Alhamdulillah, all praise if for Allah - is clear, remaining hidden to only one of two men: a man who turns away or a man who is haughty. As for the one who turns towards the truth, sincerely wanting to submit to it, then without a doubt, he will be guided to it.

There should only be One Group

95) Question: In recent times there has a appeared a number of Islamic groups in Muslim countries; groups such as the Ikhwan Al-Muslimeen, the Salifiyyin, the Jama'at At-Tabligh, and other. Each group criticizes and finds fault with the other groups, and some members of one group might even proclaim that those of another group are disbelievers. Please explain to us your view regarding the different groups.

Answer given by the Noble Shaykh (Rahimahullah):

It is very sad to see Muslims becoming divided, with each person or group headed in a different direction. The Muslim Nation must truly be one Nation, for Allah (swt) said [translation of the meaning]:

And verily! This religion (of Islamic Monotheism) is one religion. (25.52)

And Allah (swt) said to his Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) [translation of the meaning]:

Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into sects (all kind of religious sects), you (O Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) have no concern in them in the least. Their affair is only with Allah (Swt), Who then will tell them what they used to do. (6.159)

And Allah (Swt) said [translation of the meaning]:

He (Allah (swt)) has ordained for you the same religion which he ordained for Nuh, and that which we have inspired in you (O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)) and that which we ordained for Ibraaheem, Musaa and Isaa, saying you should establish religion and make no divisions in it (religion) (i.e. various sects in religion). (42.13)

Therefore the Islamic principle in this issue is that the Muslim Nation must unite upon Allah's Religion. Division which leads to some proclaiming other are evildoers, innovators, disbelievers, is Haram (forbidden).

Every person is prone to error:

"Everyone from the children of Adam errs frequently, and the best of those who err frequently are those who repent" (Tirmidhi 2499 ruled Hasan by Shaykh Al-Albaani)

One who is complete helps the one who is lacking, and the latter should thank the former for pointing out his shortcomings to him.

It is clearly against the teachings of Islam for Muslims to curse one another or accuse one another of being evildoers; in fact, Islam declares war on every matter that causes division. The Prophet (Peace and Blessings upon Him) said:

"Do not hate one another; do not plot against one another or show enmity towards one another; do not Tanaajashu (raise prices of a product in order to decieve others); and do not enter into the buying transactions of ther (i.e., if person A is inclined to sell a product to person B, being satisfied with the price offered, do not then thrust yourself between them, offering a higher price). Be Allah’s slaves, as brothers unto one another. The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim....' (Muslim 2564)

The different Muslim groups must get together and point each other's mistakes, openly discussing the issues that divide them. Through such a process perhaps we can only truly become one Nation, loving one another, showing mercy to one another, and helping to rectify one another's shortcomings. And it is Allah (swt) who grants success."

We must unite upon the way of the Companions.

The Most Beloved Fasting and Prayer to The Most Loving

Narrated Abdullah bin Amr (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said to me, "The most
beloved fasting to Allah was the fasting of (the Prophet) David
('Alaihis-Salam) who used to fast on alternate days. And the most beloved
prayer to Allah was the prayer of David ('Alaihis-Salam) who used to sleep
for (the first) half of the night and pray for 1/3 of it and (again) sleep
for a sixth of it."
