The Shia s Rejection of Ali ibn Abee Talib

The Shia s Rejection of Ali ibn Abee Talib The Shia s Rejection of Ali ibn Abee Talib بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم They say the proof of your love for an individual is your adherence to way and acceptance of his path. Allah challenges us. Allah said: Say (O Muhammad to mankind): If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur an and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [ Ali-Imran:31] This verse is the test to measure the sincerity of a person s love for Allah, which can be manifested by following and obeying the Prophet.(ﷺ) Now the Shia claim they love Ali, but do they follow him? Here let s look at 14 authentic narrations from Ali. Each narration is the speech and actions from Ali that the Shia reject. 1: Ali destroys the notion the Pophet advised him to be the Caliph after him. (ﷺ) `Ali bin Abu Talib came out of the house of the Prophet during his fatal ailment. The people asked (`Ali), O Abu Hasan! How is the health of Allah s Messenger (ﷺ) this morning? ` Ali said, This morning he is better, with the grace of Allah. Al-`Abbas held `Ali by the hand and said, Don t you see him (about to die)? By Allah, within three days you will be the slave of the stick (i.e., under the command of another ruler). By Allah, I think that Allah s Messenger (ﷺ) will die

from his present ailment, for I know the signs of death on the faces of the offspring of `Abdul Muttalib. So let us go to Allah s Messenger (ﷺ) to ask him who will take over the Caliphate. If the authority is given to us, we will know it, and if it is given to somebody else we will request him to recommend us to him. `Ali said, By Allah! If we ask Allah s Messenger (ﷺ) for the rulership and he refuses, then the people will never give it to us. Besides, I will never ask Allah s Messenger (ﷺ) for it. [1] 2: The Shia are extremely fanatical towards Ali and Ali rejected this. Ali رضي الله عنه) ) said: Some people will love so much that it will cause them to enter Hell and others will hate me so much that they will enter the fire.[2] 3: The Shia consider Abu Bakr الله عنه) (رضي to be a Kafir,but Ali praised him Ali() said: The best people after the Prophet was Abu Bakr then Umar. [3] 4: The Shia say Abu Bakr was ignorant of Fiqh, Ali said he was 1 st join Quran and Sunnah.

Ali said: The 1 st person to connect the Quran and Sunnah together was Abu Bakr. [4] 5. The Shia consider Umar a Kafir,but Ali praised him Ali said: We were never surprised that the truth always came from the mouth of Umar. [5] 6. The Shia say Umar changed the Sunnah and deviated, but Ali insisted his way was right. Ali said to the people of Najran, Umar was rightly guided in all affairs and I wont changed anything that he has put in place. [6] 7. The shia reject the Sunnah of Umar, but Ali loved it. `Ali bin Abi Talib. `Ali invoked Allah s Mercy for `Umar and said, O `Umar! You have not left behind you a person whose deeds I like to imitate and meet Allah with more than I like your deeds. By Allah! I always thought that Allah would keep you with your two companions, for very often I used to hear the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, I, Abu Bakr and `Umar went (somewhere); I, Abu Bakr and `Umar entered (somewhere); and I, Abu Bakr and `Umar went out. [7] 8. The Shia say Uthman was a Kafir but Ali praised him. One day on the Minbar Ali read the verse : Verily those for whom the good has preceded from Us, they will be removed far therefrom (Hell)[ Al-Anbiyah :101} Then said : Uthman is included among these people in this verse.[8] 9. The Shia reject the permissibility of wiping over footwear. Ali ibn Abu Talib: If the religion were based on opinion, it would be more important to wipe the under part of the shoe

(ﷺ) than the upper but I have seen the Messenger of Allah wiping over the upper part of his shoes.[9] 10. The shia allow marriage without the guardian and witnesses Ali said: Any woman who gets married without the consent of her Wali, then her marriage is false. No marriage is correct until there is a Wali. [10] 11. The Shia practice Mut ah[ temporary marriage] Ali bin Abi Talib narrated: The Prophet prohibited the Mut ah with women, and the meat of domestic donkeys during (the campaign of) Khaibar. [11] 12. The Shia don t believe the Current Muslim rulers are legitimate. Ali said: It s an obligation on the Muslim ruler to rule by the Shariah and carry out his trust honestly. When he does this the people must hear,obey and answer him when he calls them to fight.[12] 13.The Shia deny the Qadr Ali narrated the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The slave will never taste the sweetness of faith until he accepts and believes in every aspect of the Qadr.[13] 14. The raise the graves of their Imans and make them places of worship. Ali (b. Abu Talib) said to Abul Hayyaj Al-Asadi Should I not send you on the same mission as Allah s Messenger

sent me? Do not leave an image without obliterating it, or (ﷺ) a high grave without levelling It.[14] Translated and prepared by Abu Aaliyah Abdullah ibn Dwight Battle Doha, Qatar 1438 [1] Bukhari :6266 [2] Sunnah ibn Abi Assim: #984 Al-Albani graded this as being Sahih [3] Ibn Majah:106 Al-Albani graded it as being Sahih [4] Ibn abee Shaybah:35751/ Isnad Hasan [5] Yaqub in Tarikh : 1/462 [6] Yahya ibn Adam in Kharaj : 31 isnad Hasan [7] Bukhari:3685 [8] Ibn Abee Shaybah : 32052 [9] Abu Dawud in sunnan :162: graded as Sahih by Imam Al- Albani [10] Al-Bayhaqi in Al-Kubara7/111 [11] Bukhari :5115/Muslim 1407 [12] Abu Ubayd in Al-Amwal #11 [13] Musnad Abu Dawud At-Tayyalasi # 165

[14] Muslim # 969 FAQ s about the Shia Doctrine FAQ s about the Shia Doctrine بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 1. When did the Shia Cult appear? The Shia sect appeared by a Jewish man named Abdullah bin Saba. He was a hypocrite who claimed he loved the Prophet s household and was fanatical towards Ali ibn Abee Talib. Abdullah ibn Saba alleged that Ali was supposed to be the Caliph after the Prophet through a will. His fanaticism towards Ali lead him to raise Ali to the status of Lordship that only Allah has. 2. Why are the Shia called Rafidha?

They are called Rafidha because a group of them went to Zayd ibn Ali ibnul Hussain and asked him to free himself from Abu Bakr and Umar in order to be with them, but he refused and told them that they are companions of his grandfather. For that answer they replied to him saying, We reject you and that is how they earned the name Rafidha. That s the claim from one of their Imams called Al-Majlisee; however there are other claims that explain how they earned their name. Some of those include the fact they reject the Caliph of Abu Bakr and Umar,and others say they reject the deen and Sunnah. 3. How many factions are the Rafidha divided into? The books of Aqeedah mention that the Rafidha have divided into more than 73 sects. Even the hadith about 73 sects, then the Rafidha says it applies to them being the saved the sect. 4. What are the Shia beliefs about Allah s Attributes? The Rafidha are the first to mention Tajseem. Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned some of the senior scholars of Rafidha; Hisham ibn Al-Hakam, Hisham ibn Salim, Yunus ibn Abdir Rahman and Abu Ja far. All of these scholars follow the doctrine of Jahmiyyah. The Rafidha say Allah isn t described with time, with place, with how, movement or anything connected to a body. The Rafidha denies Allah s descends, they say the Quran is created, and they deny Allah will be seen in the Next life. 5. What is the Shia s belief towards the Quran that Allah said He would protect? The Rafidha say the Quran that we read isn t the Quran that was revealed to Muhammad. They say the Quran has been changed. There are some verses missing and others have been deleted. The majority of Hadith scholars from the Shia believe that the wording the Quran has been distorted.

6. How do the Shia feel about the Prophet s companions. The Rafidha s belief about the companions is built on cursing, slander, and deeming them apostate. Al-Kulayni,a Shia scholar of hadith said, All of the companions of the Prophet(ﷺ)went apostate except for three;al-miqdad ibn Al-Aswad, Abu Dharr,and Salman Al-Farisee. 7. Can you mention some of the ways the Jews and the Shia resemble each other? Ibn Taymiyyah said : The test for the Jews and Rafidha is the Jews say only the Family of David can rule and likewise the Rafidah say only the children of Ali can rule. The Jews say there is no Jihad until the Dajjal emerges and the Rafidha say there isn t no Jihad until the Mahdi appears and voices calls out from the sky. The Jews and Rafidha both delay the prayer until the stars appear. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: My community will remain well, or he said: will remain on its natural condition, so long as it would not delay the evening prayer until the stars shine brightly just like a network.[1] The Jews distort and change the meaning of the Torah and similarly the Rafidha do the same with the Quran. The Jews and Rafidha don t allow wiping over footwear. The Jews hate Jibril and the Rafidha say he was wrong for giving revelation to Muhammad. Additionally, the Rafidha follow the Christians in some aspects of their religion. They don t give their women Dowries for marriage and they believe in temporary marriages. 8. What do the Shia believe about their Imans? The Shia believe that their Imans are infallible and know the unseen.

The Shia take whatever their Imams say is Halal to be Halal and whatever they say is Haraam is prohibited. 9. What do they Shia say about reincarnation? The Shia invented a Bid ah called reincarnation. Al-Mufeed said: The Imams all agree that reincarnation is a must for most of the deceased. 10. What is Taqiyyah? Taqiyyah according to Shia doctrine is saying or doing something contradictory to what you really believe in order to repel harm from yourself or your property,or to protect your honor. The Shia claim the (ﷺ) Prophet did it. They allege that when the leader of the hypocrites, Abdullah ibn Abee Salul died the Prophet offered his funeral prayer and Umar questioned him saying, Didn t Allah prohibit this action? Therefore the Prophet (ﷺ) responded to him saying, Do you know what you are talking about?, I asked Allah to fill his throat with fire, fill his grave with the fire and burn him in Hell. Look at how they lie on the Prophet! Is it even conceivable that the Prophet cursed a hypocrite and his companions asked him for mercy?! 11. What is the blessed mud? The Shia believe that the dirt from the grave of Al-Hussain is a cure for everything. In fact some of the Shia say place the dirt from the grave of Al-Hussain in the mouths of your newborns.

12. How do the Shia feel about Ahlus Sunnah? The Rafidha s Aqeedah is the blood, wealth and life of Ahlus Sunnah are all Halal for them. What s more is the Shia think that the disbelief of Ahlus Sunnah is worse than the disbelief of the Jews and the Christians. They say the Jews and the Christians disbelief is at the origin,but Ahlus Sunnah is worse because they went apostate. 13. What do the Rafidha say about Mut a? Mut a is a temporary marriage that was abrogated; however the Shia believe that Mut a is one of the highest forms of faith. Fathullah Al-Kashanee said: Mut a is from our deen and whoever denies it rejects our religion. Moreover, rejecting it means a person is practicing a religion other than ours. The Children from a Mut a marriage is better than the children of a long term marriage. The person who rejects the Mut a is an infidel.[2] 14. What are the holy sites according to Shia doctrine? The Shia consider the graves of their Imans and leaders to be sacred. They say Kufa, Karabala, and Qum are sacred.. They say Karbala is more sacred the Mecca. 15. What is the Shias stance towards Muslim rulers around the World? The Shia consider every leader or government that doesn t follow the 12 Imans is false. They say it s not permissible to obey a ruler who wasn t sanctioned by Allah,except through Taqiyyah. 16. What do the Shia think about the 10 th of Muharram and its virtue? The Shia hold parties, mock funerals, and wail in the streets.

On the 10 th of Muharram they hold protests in the streets and at designated squares. They wear black as a sign of mourning for Al-Hussain. They believe the first 10 days of this month has virtue, so they beat themselves over their cheeks, backs and chests. May Allah guide us to follow the Sunnah and die upon him. I ask Allah to let people see falsehood for what it truly is and avoid it, and to recognize the truth as it is and follow it.
