Attributing kufr to a person, shouting, and blustering are the
weapon of the weak. This page is not dedicated to the weaks but for
facts and evidences that deserve a pause from you to contemplate through
the page and know its goals. We have facts that may be published for the
first time, and we have pictures, documents, audios and videos that
prove our point. This page is for Sunnis who want to learn about Shi’ism
and for those intelligent, open-minded Shia who are seeking the truth
away from prejudice. We are asking Muslims to unite and we are seeking
unity. But unity should be based on the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of
His messenger, NOT at the expense of Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His
messenger. Therefore, we adopted this Dialogue as a method to solve the
discord and a course to elucidate the truth.
The History Of The
Shia
The religion of the Shiah
was founded by a Jew from Yemen called Abdullah bin Saba’. This religion
has started with the assassination of the rightly guided Khalifa Uthman
and branched into many sections.
Uthman ruled for twelve
years. The first six years were marked by internal peace and
tranquility, but during the second half of his caliphate a rebellion
arose. The Jews and the Magians, taking advantage of dissatisfaction
among the people, began conspiring against Uthman, and by publicly
airing their complaints and grievances, gained so much sympathy that it
became difficult to distinguish friend from foe.
It may seem surprising
that a ruler of such vast territories, whose armies were matchless, was
unable to deal with these rebels. If Uthman had wished, the rebellion
could have been crushed at the very moment it began. But he was
reluctant to be the first to shed the blood of Muslims (especially
Sahaba), however rebellious they might be. No one would ever expected
what happend later. He preferred to reason with them, to persuade them
with kindness and generosity. He well remembered hearing the Prophet
say, (PBUH) “Once the sword is unsheathed among my followers, it will
not be sheathed until the Last Day.”
The rebels demanded that
he abdicate and some of the Companions advised him to do so. He would
gladly have followed this course of action, but again he was bound by a
solemn pledge he had given to the Prophet. “Perhaps God will clothe you
with a shirt, Uthman” the Prophet had told him once, “and if the people
want you to take it off, do not take it off for them.” Uthman said to a
well-wisher on a day when his house was surrounded by the rebels, “God’s
Messenger made a covenant with me and I shall show endurance in adhering
to it.”
After a long siege, the
rebels broke into Uthman’s house and murdered him. When the first
assassin’s sword struck Uthman, he was reciting the verse: “Verily, God
sufficeth thee; He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing” [2:137] Ali
accepted the caliphate very reluctantly. Uthman’s murder and the events
surrounding it were a symptom, and also became a cause, of civil strife
on a large scale. All governors gave the pledge to Ali except Muawiya,
the governor of Sham (Great Syria). Muawiya declined to obey until
Uthman’s blood was avenged. His decision was based on the fact that he
is not required to obey the Caliph until he (Ali) is able to enforce the
rule of Allah. Muawiya was the cuisine of ‘Uthman, so he was the
responsible of asking Ali to bring the murderers to trial. The Prophet’s
widow Aisha also took the position that Ali should first bring the
murderers to trial. Due to the chaotic conditions during the last days
of Uthman it was very difficult to establish the identity of the
murderers, and Ali refused to punish anyone whose guilt was not lawfully
proved.
The pretext for the
meeting of the armies on the day of the Camel and the day of Siffin was
the demand for `Uthman’s killers on the part of `A’isha and Mu`awiya,
but the winds of war were fanned by the followers of Abdullah bin Saba’
the Jew, from inside all three camps until events escaped the control of
the Companions. It is related that `Ali, `A’isha , and Mu`awiya often
expressed astonishment at the dissension and opposition that surrounded
them.
After that some Shia
declared Ali as a god. He then burned them alive with fire. After the
killing of Abdullah bin Saba’, Shia were divided into many new sects.
Each one has its own Imam.
The Seveners or Isma’ilis,
like all Shiites, believe that the descendants of Muhammad, through his
daughter Fatima and her husband Ali the fourth Caliph, are the rightful
rulers of the Muslim world. Thus the descendants of Ali are considered
infallible and as divinely guided as Muhammad himself. This sect derives
its name from Isma’il, the eldest son of the sixth Imam, Jafar as-Sadiq.
In 762 CE, Isma’il died before his father, which resulted in bitter
disputes of succession. The minority of Shiites regarded the old line of
Imams extinct and chose Isma’il’s eldest son as the new Imam. Thus they
proclaimed a cycle of seven Imams, Ali being the first and Isma’il the
seventh, and thus the seventh Imam after his line of Imams would be the
Mahdi, or Messiah, or the seventh after him, etc..
The Isma’ilis have usually
been small in numbers, but well organised and disciplined. Soon they
developed into a cult, borrowing various ideas from Jewish mysticism,
Greek philosophy, Babylonian astrology, Christian Gnosticism, etc..,
When secular sciences were being employed in the Abbasid Empire, the
Isma’ilis were thriving, and managed to recruit a large number of
followers, who formed a well organised guerrilla army. By combining
their scholarly skills and extraordinary underground network of spies,
the Isma’ilis established their anti-Caliph in Egypt during the 10th
century. They named his dynasty after Muhammad’s daughter, and thus the
name Fatimids emerged. In reality they are the dynasty of a Jew called
Abdullah bin Qaddah, and that was they were called Abidi too. The Abidi
State in Egypt quickly expanded and soon the Isma’ilis controlled
western Syria and a large part of North Africa, killing thousands of
Muslims. They also built a new capital, Fustat, near the ancient
Pyramids, which in a few centuries grew to be the largest city in the
Muslim world, under the name of Cairo.
When the Abidi dynasty was
destroyed by the Abbasids, the Isma’ilis split into two sub-sects,
Tayibiya and Niziriya, named after two Abidi princes. The former sect
was soon transformed into a esoteric cult, which moved its activities
underground and became invisible. The Niziriya sect transformed itself
back into the pre-Abidi Isma’ilism, developing a network of agents and
spies all over the Muslim world. The best known organization within the
Niziriya was probably the drugabusing
Assassin sect, notorious for assassinations all over the Muslim world.
Today, however, the Niziriya sect has turned pacifist and increasingly
Westernized.
Out of the Assassin
stronghold in Syria, two heterodox sub-sects have survived, the Alawite
and the Druze. The Alawite sect is militant and combines radical
theories from both Isma’il and Ithna Shia. The Druzes, on the other
hand, have until more recently been more pacifistic, waiting for the
return of their Mahdi, the psychotic Abidi Caliph al-Hakim, who
‘disappeared’ when he burned down his capital around 1000 CE. In the
13th century the Druzes closed their sect, and became a distinct tribe
or nation. They serve today in the Zionist army against
Palestinian Muslims.
The largest sect within
Shia is the Ithna or Twelver, which follows the original line of Imams.
When the Seveners chose the son of Isma’il to become the Imam, the
majority of Shiites chose Isma’ils younger brother, Muza al-Kazim, as
the seventh Imam. The Ithna adopt their ‘Twelver’ name from their belief
in the twelfth Imam, Muhammad ibn al-Askari, who ‘disappeared’ one day
and thus became the hidden Mahdi who would return to earth at the end of
days. The ‘Twelvers’ worship their Imams, sometimes as the incarnation
of Ali or Hussain. They form the vast majority of Shiites, including
most Iranians and almost 50% of the Iraqi nation.
The third largest body in
Shia is the Zaydi sect or the Fivers, prevailing in Yemen and among some
Bedouin tribes in Saudi-Arabia. The Zaydi sect is more or less the
deification of the 7th century Arabian culture, and it fiercely
denounces the semi-divinity of Imams, contrary to the Twelver. Their
founder was the fifth Imam, Zayd ibn Abidin, who was a rationalist and
thus denounced his alleged divinity. The Zaydi Imams are more like
Bedouin sheikhs than divine authorities, and thus reject hereditary
leadership, and are only visible during warfare.
There are said to be more
than 70 small Shia sects all around the world. Probably the best example
of these was the Bahai sect, which has been persecuted and refuted as
anti-Islamic, but grows fast as a separate religion, basing its
doctrines on ‘world peace and harmony’ and the unity of all religions.
The center of the Bahai sect is in Occupied Palestine!
The Shi’ah As
Mentioned In The Noble Qur’an
The word Shia, Shiah,
Shiite, or Shi‘ah was used many times in the Holy Quran. It means sect
or band but it
mostly has a negative meaning. Let’s see:
إِنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَہُمۡ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعً۬ا لَّسۡتَ مِنۡہُمۡ فِى
شَىۡءٍۚ إِنَّمَآ أَمۡرُهُمۡ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُہُم بِمَا
كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ
“As for those who divide
their religion and break up into sects (Shiites), 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.” (6:159)
In this verse, God warns
us not to divide ourselves into Shiites and declare people who do so as
people who don’t
belong to the prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

قُلۡ هُوَ
ٱلۡقَادِرُ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَبۡعَثَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابً۬ا مِّن فَوۡقِكُمۡ أَوۡ
مِن تَحۡتِ أَرۡجُلِكُمۡ أَوۡ يَلۡبِسَكُمۡ شِيَعً۬ا وَيُذِيقَ بَعۡضَكُم
بَأۡسَ بَعۡضٍۗ ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ
يَفۡقَهُونَ
“Say: “He has power to
send calamities on you, from above and below, or to cover you
with confusion in party strife (make you Shiites), giving you a taste of
mutual vengeance
- each from the other.” See how We explain the Signs by various
(symbols); that they
may understand.” (6:65)
In this verse, God warns
us that he can let us become Shiites as a great punishment to us.

مُنِيبِينَ
إِلَيۡهِ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ
ٱلۡمُشۡرِڪِينَ ۞ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمۡ وَڪَانُواْ شِيَعً۬اۖ
كُلُّ حِزۡبِۭ بِمَا لَدَيۡہِمۡ فَرِحُونَ
“Turn you in repentance to
Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not
you among those who join gods with Allah, those who splite up their
religion, and
become (mere) Sects (Shiites), each party rejoicing in that which is
with
itself!” (30:31-32)
In this verse, God
associates the word Shiites with polytheist pagans who join gods with
Allah!

ثُمَّ
لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّہُمۡ أَشَدُّ عَلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ
عِتِيًّ۬ا
“Then shall We certainly
drag out from every sect (Shiites) all those who were worst in
obstinate rebellion against (Allah) Most Gracious.” (Qur’an Mariam:69)
In this verse, God
associates the word Shiites with those who are worst in obstinate
rebellion against Him.

إِنَّ
فِرۡعَوۡنَ عَلَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهۡلَهَا شِيَعً۬ا يَسۡتَضۡعِفُ
طَآٮِٕفَةً۬ مِّنۡہُمۡ يُذَبِّحُ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ وَيَسۡتَحۡىِۦ
نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُ ۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ
“Truly Pharaoh elated
himself in the land and broke up its people into sections (Shiites),
depressing a small group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept
alive their
females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief.” (28:4)
As far as Pharaoh is
concerned, he proclaimed himself to be god. He divided his people into
groups and parties
so that he will be able to rule them easily. Each group is called Shi’ah.
