The Shia And The Hadith THE SHIA TIRADE IS NOT CONFINED AGAINST THE QUR'AN ALONE; THEY DENY THE SIX AUTHENTIC BOOKS OF HADITH VIZ BUKHARI, MUSLIM, TIRMIDHI, ABU DAUD, IBN MAJA AND NISAI CALLED SIHAH-E-SITTA. IN SHIA TERMINALOGY "HADITH" MEANS THE TALK OF A MASUM (SINLESS AND INFALLIBLE IMAM) AND THAT NARRATION WHICH DESCRIBES THE TALK, ACTION OR TAQREER OF A MASUM. IF ANY NARRATION DOES NOT REACH A MASUM, IT IS NOT COUNTED AS HADITH" ACCORDING TO SHIA TERMINOLOGY." (QUR'AN & HADITH BY BILAL MUSLIM MISSION, TANZANIA pp. 66-61). ACCORDING TO AHLE SUNNAH, THE TALK, ADVICE, ACTION OF THE PROPHET (SAW) IS CALLED "HADITH". THUS THE SHIAS HAVE BROKEN ALL THE LINKS WITH THE ISLAM OF THE PROPHET (SAW) WHO ON THE OCCASION OF FAREWELL PILGRIMAGE SAID:
"I AM LEAVING BEHIND TWO THINGS AMONG YOU; IF YOU HOLD FAST TO THEM YOU WILL NEVER GO ASTRAY. THESE ARE THE BOOK OF ALLAH AND MY SUNNAH." THE SHIAS VIEWS ABOUT THE QUR'AN SHOULD BE WELL KNOWN TO THE READERS BY THIS TIME; OF COURSE THEY DECEIVE MUSLIMS BY BLOWING HOT AND COLD FROM THE SAME MOUTH BY WAY OF TAQIYA TO CONCEAL THEIR REAL INTENTIONS. THEY SAY AS RECORDED IN THEIR BOOK AL-KAFI FIL USUL. (TEHRAN VOL. I PP. 239--41): "WE HAVE A COPY OF THE QUR'AN BELONGING TO FATIMA -- A COPY OF THE QUR'AN CONTAINING THE LIKE OF YOUR QUR'AN BUT IT IS THREE TIMES THAT. BY GOD IT DOES NOT CONTAIN A SINGLE WORD OF YOUR QUR'AN." SUCH ARE THE FINDINGS AND BELIEFS OF SHIAS ABOUT THE QUR'AN. AS THE AHLE SUNNAH HAVE COLLECTIONS OF HADITH LIKE BUKHARI AND MUSLIM ETC. WHICH CONTAIN IN ITS ENTIRETY THE SAYINGS AND DOINGS OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) ALONG WITH THEIR ISNADS, SIMILARLY SHAIS HAVE THEIR OWN BOOKS OF TRADITIONS. HOWEVER IN SUCH BOOKS THE SAYINGS OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) APPEAR VERY SELDOM SAY LESS THAN FIVE PERCENT-THESE CONTAIN FOR THE MOST PART THE SAYINGS AND DOINGS OF THEIR IMAMS ALONG WITH THE CHAIN OF NARRATORS. AS A MATTER OF FACT FROM THE SHIA POINT OF VIEW THIS SHOULD BE SO BECAUSE TILL QIYAMAH THEIR IMAMS ARE REPRESENTATRIES AND INTERPRETERS OF THE DIVINE WILL AND SOURCE OF GUIDANCE FOR THE UMMAH; THEIR RANKS AND STATUS BEING EQUIVALENT TO RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) AND HIGHER THAN THE OTHER PROPHETS. HOWEVER, THE SHIAS HAVE NO SHARI'I (LEGAL) AUTHORITY AND NO SHARI'I PROOF FOR THEIR BELIEFS OF THE NAFS (BASER SELF). THE WAY THEY HAVE SOUGHT TO OVERCOME THIS HURDLE IS BY THEIR DOCTRINE OF FABRICATING AHADITH TO SUBSTANTIATE THEIR CLAIMS. NO SECT IS SO AUDACIOUS AND NOTORIOUS AS THE SHIAHS FOR FABRICATING AND FORGING HADITH IN THE NAME OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW). IN THE ABSENCE OF HAVING ANY AUTHENTIC WORKS, THEY FEEL FREE TO FORGO, FABRICATE AND FALSIFY AS MUCH AS THEIR HEARTS DESIRE. THE SUNNAH OF THE PROPHET (SAW) IS RECORDED AND PRESERVED IN THE AUTHENTIC BOOKS OF HADITH BUT THE SHIA DISMISS THEM AS FORGED AND BELIEVE ONLY IN A FEW WHICH EXTOLL THE VIRTUES AND EXCELLENCES OF HAZRAT ALI OR FOR THAT MATTER WHICH SERVE ANY OF THEIR PURPOSES. THEY HAVE MINTED THEIR OWN AHADITH AND ATTRIBUTED THESE TO THEIR IMAMS TO SERVE THE CAUSE OF THEIR RELIGION. BUT THEY SAY IT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. HERE IS AN EXTRACT FROM ONE OF THEIR BOOK "QUR'AN AND HADITH" BY SEYYED SAEED AKHTAR RIZVI: "THESE TRADITIONS WERE FORGED BY SOME COMPANIONS OF THE HOLY PROPHET LIKE ABU HURAIRA AND HIS ILD. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT ABU HURAIRAH ACCEPTED ISLAM AT THE END OF THE 7TH YEAR OF HIJRA AND REMAINED WITH THE HOLY PROPHET FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS ONLY. AND HE CLAIMED TO HEAR IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD MANY THINGS FROM THE HOLY PROPHET WHICH EXCEEDED BY FAR THE TOTAL AHADITH NARRATED IN SUNNI BOOKS FROM THE FOUR CALIPHAS (ABU BAKR, UMAR, USMAN, ALI) BIBI FATIMAH, ALL WIVES OF THE HOLY PROPHET (INCLUDING AISHA) AND HASAN AND HUSSAIN" (P. 77). THE SHIA OUT OF SHEER PREJUDICE FOR THE SAHABA DO NOT REALISE THAT HAZRAT ABU HURAIRAH WAS SUCH A DEVOTED DISCIPLE OF THE PROPHET (SAW) THAT HE LEFT HIS HOME AND EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO SEEK THE ATTENDENCE OF THE PROPHET. HE WAS ALL THE TIME PRESENT IN (THE SINGLE ROOM SCHOOL ADJACENT TO THE MASJID AND HOUSE OF THE PROPHET -- SAW) AND WROTE OR MEMORISED WHATEVER CAME FROM THE LIPS OF THE PROPHET (SAW). THUS HE COULD COLLECT A FAR GREATER NEMBER OF AHADITH THAN OTHER COMPANIONS WHO WERE EITHER ENGAGED IN THEIR PROFESSIONS OR BUSY ON ASSIGNMENTS ENTRUSTED BY THE PROPHET (SAW) AND AS SUCH THEY SPENT LESSER TIME IN THE COMPANY OF THE PROPHET (SAW) AND ON THIS ACCOUNT AHADITH RELATED FROM THEM ARE LESSER IN NUMBER. THIS IS THE TRUTH., PLAIN AND SIMPLE! ABOUT THIS EMINENT SAHAABI AND NARRATOR OF RASULULLAH'S (SALLALAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM) AHADITH, KHOMEINI OF IRAN SAYS:- "GOD KNOWS WHAT MISFORTUNES ISLAM HAS SUFFERED FROM ITS INCEPTION DOWN TO THE PRESENT AT THE HANDS OF THESE EVIL "ULAMA". ABU HURAIRAH WAS ONE OF THE FUQAHA BUT GOD KNOWS WHAT JUDGEMENTS HE FALSIFIED FOR MUAAWIYA AND OTHER LIKE HIM, AND WHAT DAMAGE HE INFLICTED UPON ISLAM. BUT WHEN A FAQIH LIKE ABU HURAIRAH OR A JUDGE LIKE SHURAYH JOINS SUCH A GOVERNMENT, HE IMPROVES ITS STANDING WILE BESMIRCHING THE REPUTATION OF ISLAM." COMMENTING ON THIS STATEMENT OF KHOMENI, HAMID ALGAR THE COMPILER OF KHOMEINI'S WRITINGS AND DECLARATIONS, STATES: "SHI'I SCHOLARS HAVE REGARDED HIM AS UNRELIABLE AND EVEN DISHONEST." BUT RASULULLAH (SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM) MADE SPECIAL DUA FOR ABU HURAIRAH IN RESPECT OF NARRATION OF AHADITH, HENCE WE OBSERVE THE AHADITH IN ABUNDANCE NARRATED BY HIM. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT BEARS OUT THE LOVE WHICH RASULULLAH (SALLALLAHU ALAYHIS WASALLAM) HAD FOR HADHRAT ABU HURAIRAH (RADIALLAHU ANHU): "O ALLAH! ENDEAR THIS, YOUR SERVANT (ABU HURAIRAH) AND HIS MOTHER TO YOUR BELIEVING SERVANTS AND ENDEAR THE BELIEVERS TO THEM" (MUSLIM). THUS THOSE WHO ARE BELIEVERS LOVE ABU HURAIRAH (RADIALLAHU ANHU). THOSE WHO ARE UNBELIEVERS DETEST HADHRAT ABU HURAIRAH (RADIALLAHU ANHU). STRANGE AND TRAGIC INDEED! IN WHAT A SNARE OF ERRORS HAVE THESE PEOPLE (SHIA) FALLEN THAT THEY HAVE BROKEN ALL LINKS WITH THE FOUNDATIONS OF ISLAM --- QUR'AN AND HADITH-WHICH THE ENTIRE BODY OF MUSLIMS FROM MOROCCO TO INDONESIA EVEN TO THIS DAY FIRMLY BELIEVE AS THE TRUE AND FUNDAMENTAL SOURCES OF GUIDANCE AND RIGHTEOUS ACTION. THE SHIAS WHO ARE EVEN LESS THAN FOUR PER CENT OF TOTAL WORLD MUSLIM POPULATION (MOSTLY CONCENTRATED IN IRAN AS AGAINST NINETY SIX PER CENT SUNNI MUSLIMS SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE LENGHT AND BREADTH OF THE EARTH) HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY SUCH FOUL AND CROOKED THINGS CHALLENGING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ISLAM WHICH EVEN THE QRIENTALISTS AND NON-MUSLIMS DO NOT DARE TO DO SO! THE ENEMIES OF SUNNAH ARE MAL'OON (ACCURSED). NOTES 1. THE SHIAS GREATLY QUOTE THE HADITH OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) "I AM THE CITY OF KNOWLEDGE AND ALI IS ITS GATE," TO ESTABLISH THE GREATNESS OF ALI. THIS TADITH IS VERY WEAK ALTHOUGH RECORDED BY TIRMIDHI. IMAM TAYAMIYYAH SAYS THAT RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS HADITH HAS BEEN CONCOTED BY SOME IGNORANT AND IRRELIGIOUS PERSON IN PRAISE OF ALI ALTHOUGH THIS CAUSES DISABILITY IN THE STRUCTURE OF ISLAM. OTHER MUDDITHIN HAVE ALSO DECLARED THIS HADITH VOID VUT SHIAS HIGHLIGHT IT FOR OBVIOUS REASONS ALTHOUGH ONLY 588 AHADITH OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) ARE NARRATED FROM ALI WHILE THOSE FROM OTHERS ARE FAR GREATER IN NUMBER. FOR INSTANCE HADHRAT AISHA 2210, ABU HURAIRAH 5374, ABDULLAH BIN UMAR 2630, ABDULLAH BIN MASUD 2630 AND ABDULLAH BIN MASUD MORE THAN 800. 2. A POWERFUL SHIA ORGANISTIONIS EAST AFRICA BY THE NAME OF BILAL MUSLIM MISSION, P.O. BOX 20033 DR-ES-SALAAM, TANZANIA HAS PULISHED THIS BOOK ALONG WITH MORE THAN TWO DOZEN SUCH TITLES IN ENGLISH TO DERAIL SIMPLE AFRICAN MUSLIMS FROM THE PATH OF ISLAM. THINKING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE SUNNI MUSLIMS SHOULD STUDY EACH AND EVERY TITLE AND REBUTT THE SHIA ALLEGATIONS AS THEIR LITERATURE IS BEING GIVEN WIDE CIRCULATION IN AFRICA. EVEN SO-CALLED ISLAMIC BOOKS AND MAGAZINES IN SWAHILI PRINTED IN IRAN ARE BEING AIR FLOWN TO EAST AFRICA FOR PROPAGANDA AND MISSIONARY PURPOSES. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
