In the
name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu
`alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
There are
many different sects amongst the Shias.
Some
sects (like the Tafdheelis) are considered as Muslims as they differ
only on the issue of khilafa i.e. they deem Ali (R.A) more deserving
to be a leader than Abu Bakr (R.A).
They also
revere and honour all the Sahabah. (Khairul fatawa 1/374 Shirkat
printing press, Kifaayatul mufti 1/289 Darul ishaat)
However
the majority of present-day Shias (Ithna ashra/Jafaries/Imamiyyias)
hold such beliefs which render them out of the fold of Islam.
The
following beliefs of theirs are recorded in the works of their very
own Ulama….
THE
QURAAN HAS BEEN DISTORTED
(Note-We,
unfortunately, do not have many Shia Kitaabs at our disposal.
Therefore, we have quoted verbatim the exact texts of only those books
which are at our disposal. As for those books which we do not possess,
we have sufficed with the meanings alone. These quotes were mainly
taken from Ahsan al fataawa, Khumaini aur ithna ashra and Irshad as
Shia and other reliable kitabs. Some were also taken from the sites of
reliable Ulama on the internet.)
و من قول الامامية
كلها قديما و حديثا ان القران مبدل زيد فيه ما ليس منه و نقص منه كثير
وبدل كثير (الفصل 2-187(
((In
every era all the Imamiyyas believed that the Quraan has been changed;
added to it was not of it, much has been increased and
decreased.))(Al-Fasl 2/187)
لو شرحت لك كل ما اسقط

مناقب الأولياء ومثالب الأعداء!!!)الاحتجاج للطبرسي، ص 378،دار النعمان

((If I
were to explain to you all that has been obliterated, distorted and
changed, there will be much length, and such things will became
apparent which taqiyyah forbids to make apparent.))(Ihtijaj Tabary
378, Dar an Numan, An Najf)
ان الاصحاب قد اطبقوا
علي صحة الاخبار المستفيضة بل المتواترة الدالة بصريحها علي وقوع التحريف
في القران (فصل الخطاب 31 مخطوط(
((Verily
all our companions agree on the authenticity of those ‘mustafeedh’
infact ‘mutwatir’ narrations which denotes emphatically on the
interpolation of the Quraan))(Fasl al khitaab 31 Makhtut)
عن ابي عبد الله قال
ان القران جاء به جبريل عليه السلام الي محمد صلي الله عليه و سلم 17000
أية (اصول كافي 671 طبع لكهنؤ(
((Abu
Abdullah said: “Verily the original Quran which Jibraeel (A.S) brought
to Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) contained 17000
verses))(Usool al kafi 671, Lucknow)
The
present Quran contains 6236 verses. Therefore the implication of the
above mentioned statement is that two thirds of the original Quran is
missing.
ان القران لا يكون حجة
الا بقيم(الكافي ج1 ص 169، دار الكتب الإسلامية، طهران(
((Verily
the Quran cannot be a proof except with a ‘Qayyim’ Imam))(Al Kaafy
1/169, Dar al kutub al Islamiyyah, Tehran )
Their
books suggest that there are more than two thousand (concocted shia)
narrations which denotes upon distortion of the Quran.
...
و هي كثيرة جدا حتي قال
السيد نعمةالله الجزائري ان الاخبار الدالة علي ذالك تزيد علي الفي حديث
(فصل الخطاب 251 مخطوط(
((… And
(the verses which were distorted) are quite a large number, that As
sayyid Nimatullah Al Jazaa’iri remarked: “Verily the narrations which
denotes upon (the distortion) exceeds two thousand reports”)) (Fasl al
khitaab 251, Makhtut)
Refer to Usool kafi
260-275. Numerous verses are cited, which according to Shias, has been
altered. A full version of this book in Arabic could be found on the
following link
http://www.14masom.com/hdeath_sh/ .
In fact
the entire kitab ‘fasl al khitaab’ was written only to proof the
distortions of the Quran. The ‘makhtut’ (original manuscript) which is
in our possession contains close to 400 pages. A perusal of this
magnum opus can leave no doubt in ones mind that the Shia religion
fundamentally maintains the theory of alterations in the Quran, which
is , also, supported by thousands of sayings of the Innocent Imams.
(Below we have discussed this books authority)
Here
follows just two examples from Fasl al khitaab which Shias believe to
be omitted from our Quran.
Image of Tabrassi book, ‘FASL AL
KHITAAB’
(The
following is an image of ‘Surah Wilaayah’ which Allama Noori Tabresi,
the Shi'i authority mentions in this book, Faslul Khitab. This book
has been written in Persian and was printed several times in Iran.
This chapter (Surat-ul-Wilaayah) was also quoted by the famous
orientalist, Noeldeke in his book ‘History of the Copies of the Qur'an’.
He reproduced it on the authority of another famous book of the Shias,
‘Dabistaan e Madhahib’. A great Jurist of Egypt, Muhammad Ali Saudi,
found a manuscript of this Surah in Iran by the well known orientalist,
Mr Brown. It also appeared in the Asian-French Newspaper in 1842 C.E)
Surah Al
Wilayat 7 verses
Saintly
(Patron) Chapter
In the
name of the Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful
1 Oh you
who believe, Bring faith in the prophet and the wali (patron) (Ali Bin
Abi Talib), both of whom we sent, they will guide you to the straith
path.
2 A prophets and a patron "belonging to" each other, and I am the all
knowing, the all aware.
3 Verily those who fulfill God's covenant for them are comforting
paradises.
4 And those upon whom if our verse are read, they disbelieve.
5 For them there is an enormous place in hell,
6 when it is proclaimed on the day of judgement: “Where are the
oppressers, the rejecters of the messengers?
7 The messengers didn’t leave them except with the truth, and Allah
will not permit them to be successful till a short time.
8 And hymn the praises of your lord whilst thanking him, and verily
Ali from the witnesses.
"Oh you
who believe, believe in the two lights.
He has revealed them unto you, warning you against the torture of the
Great Day -- two lights emanating from one another, for I am the
All-Hearing and the All-Knowing.
Truly those who fulfill Allah's pledge and his Apostle's verses shall
be rewarded with Paradise.
Those who disbelieve by breaking their covenant and what they have
pledged to do before the Apostle shall be thrown into hell, for they
did injustice to themselves and disobeyed the supporter of the
Apostle.
Therefore, they shall be caused to drink from the Hamim River in hell.
Truly Allah is the light of heaven and the earth as he wills, and he
has chosen his angels and apostles and made believers of those whom he
created.
All do whatever he wills. There is no god but him -- the Merciful and
the Compassionate.
Those who came before them cheated their apostles, and so I have
stricken them with my cunningness vehemently and painfully.
O Apostle! Preach my admonition, for they shall know.
Those who fulfill their pledge to you are likened to me to be rewarded
by Paradise.
Truly Ali is one of the pious. We have sent Moses and Aaron, being
appointed his successor, yet they disobeyed Aaron.
Be of good patience! They will become old. We have given you judgment,
just as we did to other apostles before you. We have appointed a
guardian to you from them, that they might return.
Truly Ali is devout, lying prostrate at night, warning as regards the
Last Day, and hoping for the mercy of his Lord.
Say: "Should those who act unjustly be treated equally, while they
know my torture?"
(Mohammad Azat Darwaza, Al-Qur'an al-Majid, page 60 and
Mohammed Ahmed Maal Allah, Al Shia wa Tahreef Al Quran).

and the
image and translation of Surah Nurain was taken from
http://answering-islam.org/Quran/Miracle/nurain.html
(Surah
Nurain is on page 181/182 of the ‘makhtut’ of Fasl al khitaab. It
differs slightly with the above version, having few additions and
subtractions.)
Status of ‘FASL AL KHITAAB’
We have
found numerous Shia kitabs and websites of claims that they disown the
book ‘Fasl al khitaab.’ However, this is all based on taqiyyah. Sheikh
Mohiuddeen writes: “Although the Shias pretended to disown At-Tabrasi's
book, as an act of taqiyyah, the glaring fact that it includes
hundreds of quotations from the recognized works of their scholars
clearly confirms their adherence to the tenet of alteration in the
Qur'an. Of course, they do not want a clamor to be raised over this
perverse article of faith of theirs.” (Al Khutut al areedha)
When the
Shias raised objections to this kitab during the life of the author,
Allamah Tabrasi, he wrote a reply entitled ‘Raddush shubhat an Fasl al
khitab fi ithbati tahrif Kitab Rabbil arbab’. These two books
(original and reply), really, have left no room for the Shias to deny
the belief of the distortion of the Quran.
Also, the
author of this kitab attained such a high rank amongst Shias that he
was given place to be buried in the ‘Mashad Murtazawi’ (tomb of Ali (R.A)
at Najaf). According to Shias, this is considered to be the holiest
place on the face of this earth. Only those Scholars are buried here
who are unanimously accepted by all Shias. Khoemani was also aware of
‘Fasl al khitaab’. Yet he paid glowing tributes to the author in his
‘Al Hukumat al Islamiyyah’. (Khomeni, Iranian revolution 171) Had the
Shias truly disowned his book and beliefs, they would also regard him
as a disbeliever. On the contrary, they hold him in high esteem and
regard him as a great scholar.
Finally,
even if we do accept their rejection of this kitab, what answer will
they give to the narrations of Usool al kafi etc? Shias believe “Usool
Al-Kafi is the oldest, greatest, best and the most accurate book”.
(The book of Al Muraja'aat , Muraj'ah number 110)
THE SAHABAH
TURNED APOSTATES
Shias
curse and insult the closest companions of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi
wasallam), Abu Bakr (R.A) and Umar (R.A).
فلعمري لقد نافقا قبل
ذالك و ردا علي الله جل ذكره كلامه وهزيا برسول الله صلي الله عليه و آله
و هما الكافران عليهما لعنة الله و الملئكة و الناس اجمعين (كتاب الروضة
62 طبع لكهنؤ(
((By the
oath of my life! They two (Abu bakr and Umar (R.A) became hypocrites,
rejected the speech of Allah
جل ذكره
and scoffed the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). They
are both disbelievers. May the curse of Allah, his Angels and the
entire mankind be upon them)) (Kitab Ar Raudha 62)
فهؤلاء لم يبق فيهم من
الايمان شيء (الكافي ج1 ص 420، دار الكتب الإسلامية، طهران(
((These
were such that no particle of faith remained in them))(Al Kafi 1/420,
Dar al kutub al Islamiyyah, Tehran)
In fact,
Shias regard all the Sahabah with the exception of three as apostates.
This belief has caused them to reject many verses of the Quraan and
authentic traditions.
كان الناس اهل ردة بعد
النبي صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم الا ثلاثة فقلت و من الثلاثة؟ فقال
المقداد بن الاسود و ابو ذر الغفاري وسلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليهم و
بركاته (الكافي ج8 ص 345، دار الكتب الإسلامية، طهران ، وبحار الأنوار
ج22 ص333 ، مؤسسة الوفاء، بيروت(
((People
turned apostates after Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) with the
exception of three” I enquired about the three. He responded: “Miqdad
bin Aswad, Abu Dhar Al Ghifary and Salman Farsi (may Allah’s mercy and
blessings be upon them)) (Al Kafi 8/345, Dar Al Kutub Al Islamiyyah,
Tehran, Bihar al Anwaar 22/333, Mu’assassah al wafa, Beirut)
Allah
Taala has praised the Sahabah in numerous verses of the Quran. Just to
mention one, Allah says
فَالَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا
وَأُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ وَأُوذُوا فِي سَبِيلِي وَقَاتَلُوا
وَقُتِلُوا لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَلَأُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ
جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ثَوَابًا مِنْ عِنْدِ
اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ حُسْنُ الثَّوَابِ
((So
those who emigrated and were driven out of their homes, who suffered
in My cause, who fight and were slain - (will most certainly blot out
from them their iniquities, and admit them into gardens beneath which
rivers flow. A reward from Allah; and with Allah is the best of
‘reward) (Surah Aal-`Imran: 19.5)
In this
ayah Allah extols the Muhajirin and gives them the glad tidings of
Jannah. He notifies us that in return for the persecutions and
hardships which they so gladly undertook for His sake, and for the
sacrifices which they were so eager to make, Allahs will not only
admit them into Jannah, but He will even condone their shortcomings.
THE UMMAHATUL MUMINEEN WERE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEMISE OF NABI (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) AND
WERE ALSO INFIDELS
The Shias
exceed all bounds when it comes to the Mothers of the Believers. They
accuse the Prophet’s noble consorts, Aisha and Hafsa (R.A) of the most
contemptible actions. These Shias indict Umm al-Mu’mineen Aisha and
Hafsa of murdering Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and accuse them
of turning renegades. Look at these narrations…
Imam
Baqir says (This is a false accusation against him):
“Ayesha
and Hafsa martyred the Prophet by giving him poison” (Hayatul Quloob
2/870)
“Thus, these two male hypocrites (referring to Abu Bakr and Umar) and
those two female hypocrites (referring to Ayesha and Hafsa) agreed to
martyr Rasullah by giving poisen to him” (ibid 2/745)
“Ayesha was an infidel woman.” (ibid, 2/ 726)
“Imam Mehdi will punish Ayesha with strips.” (ibid, 2/ 901)
We hold
the noble wives of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in great esteem
and regard them as our own mothers. Allah Taala says
وَأَزْوَاجُهُ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ
((….And
his wives are their mothers)) (Al Ahzaab 6)
From the
above you will notice how the Shias denigrated the integrity of every
person who had contact with Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). You may
conclude what they are indicating towards in the personality of Nabi (sallallahu
alayhi wasallam).
THEIR KALIMAH AND AZAN IS DIFFERENT
Furthermore, the kalimah of the Shias differ with our Kalimah. (Shia
mazhab haq he, 2/51, Tohfa namaz Ja’fariyah, 10)
Here is
their version of the Kalimah
((There
is no deity besides Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, Ali is
the ‘wali’ of Allah, Khumaini is the ‘hujjah’ of Allah))(Wahdat
Islaami, 4)
They also
add in the Azan after the Shahadah: (Practical Laws of Islam by
Ayatullah Khumaini, Islamic Laws by Ayatullah Sistani))
"اشهد
ان عليا ولي الله"
The
proofs and fatawaa of shi’i Scholars regarding the desirability of
this addition could be found on the following shia links
http://www.raoofonline.com/index.php?T=3&id=20 http://www.aqaed.com/shialib/books/all/nadwe28/nadwe28.html
They have
fabricated the following hadith to support their view
ان رسول الله صلي الله
عليه و سلم امر ابا ذر بان يؤذن يوم الغدير و يضاف شهادة بان ولاية
لعلي-فاعترض علي نبي بعض الاصحاب فقال له ففيم كنا.
((The
Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) ordered Abu Dhar on the day of
Ghadeer to give Azaan and ordered him to say ‘Ali is the wali’. Some
companions objected. Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “There is
nothing for us (without Ali).”(Sharaa’i al islam, 60, Beirut)
Although
the scholars of the mentioned links claim its only preferable to add
this shahadah, the following Shia scholars deemed this addition as
compulsory
Sheikh
Abdul-Nabi al-Iraqi in "Risalat al-Hidayah"
Sayid
Waheed al-Bahbahani in "Risalat al-Hidayah"
Sheikh
Muhammad Taqi al-Majlisi in "Rawdhatul-Muttaqeen"

Sheikh
Muhammad Hasan al-Najafi (author of al-Jawahir) in "Sirr al-Imaan"
Sayid Ali
Madad al-Qa'ini in "Sirr al-Imaan"
Shias
also add the following after hayya alal falah,
حي الي خير العمل
This is
how they altered one of our greatest signs.
THEIR ‘IMAMS’
ARE GREATER THAN THE PROPHETS AND ANGELS
Another
blasphemous belief of the Shias is that they regard their ‘Imams’ to
be even greater than the prophets and angels. This implies that
Sunnis, who do not believe in Imamate, are unbelievers.
و ان من ضروريات
مذهبنا ان لائمتنا مقاما لا يبلغه ملك مقرب ولا نبي مرسل (الحكومة
الاسلامية 52 طبع تهران(
((An
integral action in our religion is that our ‘Imams’ are on such a
level which cannot be attained by close Angel nor by the prophets that
were sent)) (Al Hukoomah Al Islamiyyah 52, Tehran)
According
to their beliefs, Allah had chosen twelve men to succeed Nabi (Sall
Allah alayhi wasallam). The Twelfth Imam however disappeared at the
age of five. He is believed to be the awaited Mahdi.
THEY BELIEF ALLAH
IS AT TIMES IGNORANT (BADAA)
Similarly, an essential part of their faith is the belief of ‘badaa’
which is to belief that Allah Taala was ignorant of something and
later he becomes aware of it. Shias regard this belief as one of the
greatest acts of worship.
ما عبد الله بشيء مثل
البداء (الكافي ج 1 ص 146، دار الكتب الإسلامية، طهران ، ، وبحار
الأنوار ج4 ص107 ، مؤسسة الوفاء، بيروت(
((Allah
is never worshipped with something as great as ‘badaa’)) (Al Kafi
1/146, Dar Al Kutub Al Islamiyyah, Tehran, Bihar al Anwaar 4/107,
Mu’assassah al wafa, Beirut)
ما عظم الله بمثل
البداء (السابق(
((Allah
is never glorified as he is with ‘badaa’)) (ibid)
In
essence they attribute ignorance to Allah Taala. The irony of this
belief is that they regard their Imams to have absolute knowledge.
ان الائمة عليهم
السلام يعلمون ما كان و ما يكون وانه لا يخفي عليهم شيء (الكافي ج1 ص
260، دار الكتب الإسلامية، طهران(
((The
‘Imams’ know the past and future and nothing is hidden from them)) (Al
Kafi 1/260 Dar al kutub al Islamiyyah, Tehran)
We as the
Ahlus sunnah belief that none has perfect knowledge except Allah. It
is only Allah who knows the unseen and no one shares this attribute
with him. Allah says
وَعِنْدَهُ
مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا هُوَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي
الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَمَا تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُهَا
وَلَا حَبَّةٍ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْأَرْضِ وَلَا رَطْبٍ وَلَا يَابِسٍ
إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ (الانعام 59(
((And
with Him are the keys of all the hidden NON KNOWS THEM BUT HE, and He
knows whatever there is in the land and in the sea, not a leave falls,
but he knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth or
anything fresh or dry, but is written in a clear record)) (Al Anaam
59)
Since
this knowledge of the unseen is exclusive to Allah, we belief that
even the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not enjoy such a
privilege. This is supported by the following verse
قُلْ لَا أَقُولُ
لَكُمْ عِنْدِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ (الانعام 50(
(( Say to
them, Oh Nabi, that I do not claim that I possess the treasures of
Allah, nor do I know the unseen)) (Al Anaam 50)
THEY PROMOTE
DECEIT AND LIES (TAQIYYAH)
Shias
also believe in ‘taqiyyah’ which is to conceal ones beliefs and
pronounce views contrary to what one really believes. They regard this
as compulsory and highly praiseworthy.
و التقية واجبة لا
يجوز رفعها الي ان يخرج القائم- فمن تركها قبل خروجه فقد خرج عن دين الله
و خالف الله ورسوله والائمة (رسالة اعتقادية 472 طبع سر كودا(
((And
taqiyyah is compulsory. It is not permissible to eliminate it until
the ‘Qa’im’ (Imam) emerges. Whoever abandons it before his emergence
has left the religion of Allah and has opposed Allah, His Messengers
and the Imams)) (Risaalah I’tiqadiyyah 471 Sarkodah)
ان تسعة أعشار الدين
في التقية و لا دين لمن لا تقية له (الكافي ج2 ص 217، دار الكتب
الإسلامية، طهران(
((Verily
nine tenths of the deen is taqiyyah. There is no deen for the one who
does not practice on taqiyyah)) (Al Kafi 2/217, Dar al kutub al
Islamiyyah, Tehran)
قال أبو عبد الله عليه
السلام سمعت أبي يقول لا والله ما على وجه الأرض شيٌء احب الي من التقية
يا حبيب إنه من كانت له تقية رفعه الله يا حبيب من لم تكن له تقية وضعه
الله.
((Abu
Abdullah has said: “I heard my father saying: By Allah, there is
nothing on the surface of this earth more beloved to Allah than
taqiyya. O Habeeb, whoever practices taqiyyah, Allah will exalt him. O
Habeeb, whoever discards taqiyyah, Allah will disgrace him.)) (ibid)
This
practice of the Shias advocates lying, cheating, deception, hypocrisy,
fraud, trickery and many other sins. It is these acts which makes it
difficult for us to get along and have discussions with Shias.
SHIAS ENCOURAGE ADULTRY AND
FORNICATION (MUT’A)
Shias
practice on Mut'a. Mut’a literally means “pleasure” in Arabic. In the
Shia context, it refers to a ‘temporary marriage.’ They permit a man
and woman to have sexual relations with entering only into a temporary
wedlock in which no witnesses are required. It is purely based only on
the agreement of the man and woman. Mut'a can be performed for one
hour, one day, one month or whatever time limit was agreed upon by the
two consenting parties. (Al-Kafi 5 /449, Furul Kaafi 2/189,
Tahir-u-Wasila, 2/292) Shias regard Mut'a to be more virtues than
Salaah, Fasting, and Hajj.
قال ابو عبد الله ما
من رجل تمتع ثم اغتسل الا خلق الله من كل قطرة تقطر منه سبعين ملكا
يستغفرون له الي يوم القيامة (برهان المتعة 50(
((Abu
Abdullah has said: “After the Mut’a, when the man and woman take
Ghussul (bath), Allah (swt) creates 70 angels for every drop of water
used for the ghusal. These Angels would continuously seek repentance
on their behalf until the day of Qiyaamah.”))(Burhan al mutaa pg. 50)
قال النبي صلي الله
عليه و سلم من تمتع مرة واحدة عتق ثلثه من النار ومن تمتع مرتين عتق
ثلثاه من النار و من تمتع ثلاث مرات عتق كله من النار (منهج الصادقين 256(
“Whoever
does Mut’a once, one third of him will be freed from hell. And whoever
does it twice, two thirds of him will be freed from the fire. And that
person who carries out Mut’a three times, he will be saved entirely
from the fire of hell.”(Minhajus Sadiqeen 256)
قال النبي صلي الله
عليه و سلم من تمتع مرة فدرجته كدرجة الحسين و من تمتع مرتين فدرجته
كدرجة الحسن ومن تمتع ثلاث مرات فدرجته كدرجة تاعلي و من تمتع اربع مرات
درجته كدرجتي (تفسير منهاج الصادقين 256(
((Whoever
carries out Mut’a once, his status will be equal to the status of
Husain (R.A), and whoever does it twice, his status will be like that
of Hasan’s(R.A), and that person who perpetrates it for the third
time, he reaches the stage of Ali (R.A), and whoever commits it the
forth time, he reaches the status of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam))
(Tafseer Minhajus Sadiqeen 256)
قال ابو جعفر عليه
السلام ان النبي صلي الله عليه و سلم لما اسري به الي السماء قال لحقني
جبريل عليه السلام فقال يا محمد ان الله تبارك و تعالي يقول اني قد غفرت
للمتمتعين من امتك من النساء (من لا يحضره الفقيه جزء 3 ص 150(
((Abu
Jafar narrates that Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) mentioned the
following experience of his night journey to the skies: “Jibraeel met
me and said: O Muhammad! Allah has proclaimed: Verily I have forgiven
all those women from your Ummah who engage in Mut’a.”)) (Man la
yahzaruhul Faqeeh 3/150)
Shias go
to the extend of legalizing Mut’a with even professional prostitutes.
يجوز التمتع بالزانية
علي كراهة خصوصا لو كانت من العواهر المشهورات بالزنا و ان فعل فيمنعها
من الفجور (تحريرالوسيلة 2-292(
Although
Mut’a was practiced during jihad in the early days of Islam, it was
accompanied with a host of conditions. The Mut’ah of the present day
Shias is totally different. Mutah has also been abrogated and made
haram till the day of judgement, and this prohibition is reported by
Ali (R.A) himself. However, Shias reject all the ahadith regarding its
impermissibility.
SHIAS BELIEFS ON SUNNIS
Many
simple-minded Sunni are deceived by the Shias pretentious display of
‘desiring to overcome our differences and reach a common
understanding’. However, in reality Shias neither want such a thing
nor approve of it. This is because Shias regard all Sunnis as
disbelievers. The following is mentioned in their books…
“Everybody, except us Shi'ites, is illegitimate.” (Furoo'u Kafi in
Kitabul Raudah: 135)
“It is
Kufr to doubt the infidelity (Kufr) of Hazrat Umar.” (Jila-ul-Uyoun,
Page No. 63)
“That
person who denies that Ali is the first Caliph is an infidel.” (Anwaar-e-Naumania,
Vol. No. 3, Page No. 264)
“The most
dirty and polluted left over water is that of a sunni.” (Manlaa
Yahzuruldul Faqih 1/8)
MISCELLANEOUS
Listed
below are just a few more of their heretic views:
1. “No
one has total knowledge of Holy Quran except the Imams.” (Usool Kaafi,
1/ 228)
2.
“Pakistan was mentioned in the Original Holy Quran, the present Quran
is void of meaning.” (Hazaar Tumhari Das Hamari, 554)
3. Ali
says..... “I am the first and I am the last. I am the manifest and I
am the hidden and I am the heir of earth." (Rijaal Kashsi, 138. India
Print.) This is a false allegation.
4.
“Shaitan was the first to swear the oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr in
the mosque.” (Israr-e-Muhammad, 30)S
5.
“Neither we accept such a lord nor do we approve the prophet of such a
lord whose Khalif is Abu Bakr.”(Anwaar ul Numaniyah, 2/278- Iran)

Baqir writes: “A person should recite after every prayer: O Allaah!
Curse Abu Bakr, Omar, Uthmaan, Mu'awiyah, Aa'ishah, Hafsah, Hind and

10.The
leader of the Iranian revolution, Imam Khomeini writes: “Every prophet
came to establish justice on Earth. The same is the position of the
Seal of the Prophets who came to reform human society and establish
justice but he failed during his lifetime.” (Ittihad wa-yak-jihati:15)
11."The
Imams possess all the knowledge granted to angels, prophets and
messengers" (Al-Kulaini, Al-kaafi, p.255.)

Imams have knowledge of whatever occurred in the past and whatever
will happen in the future, and nothing is concealed from them” (Ibid,

perceived this as a child and refused to suckle from his mother,
Fatimah (R.A) (Usool al kafi 294)
16.Khoemeini writes: “TAHREEF (deliberate alteration of words to
change the meaning of the holy books, viz the Bible, etc.) is that
fault which Muslims accuse Jews and Christians of indulging in, but
its proven to be found in the Ashaabs (of Rasoolullah - sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam)." (Kashful Asrar, 114)
After
learning the above mentioned beliefs of the Shias, one can have
absolutely no doubt of their disbelief. That is why Shah Abdul Azeez
Muhaddisth Dehlwi said that those who do not declare Shias as kafirs,
are definitely unaware of their beliefs.

Bari Sharah Bukhari, 1/120).

CONCLUSION
In light
of all the above, it is apparent that the vast majority of present-day
Shia’s are not Muslims. If the person in question ascribes to any of
these heretic views, nikaah will NOT be permissible with him. (Imdadul
Ahkaam 2/213 Maktabah Daul uloom Karachi, Khairul fatawa 1/374 Shirkat
printing press, Kifaayatul Mufti 1/289 Darul ishaat, Bahishti zewar
kitab an nikah) In fact, the Shia kitabs show that it’s not
permissible for Shias to marry sunnis, as they regard sunnis as
disbelievers. “It is not permissible to marry a sunni because they are
Kaafirs” (Tahdhidul Akaam, Manlaa Yahzurulul Faqih 3/258.)
If this
person claims to be from the Tafdheelis (The group that are considered
as Muslims), then too extreme precaution should be exercised. There is
the possibility he will conceal his real beliefs and practice on
taqiyyah. (Kifaayatul mufti 1/289-290 Darul ishaat) Also keep in mind
the Shia practice of mutah (temporary marriage).
Bear in
mind that even though it is permissible to marry the tafdheelis it is
highly discouraged. (ibid) Marriage is a lifetime affair; therefore,
you exercise extreme precaution. Whoever gives up something for the
sake of Allaah, Allaah will compensate him with something better. We
ask Allaah to make you strong and grant you a good life in this world
and in the Hereafter.
And Allah knows best
