The Basis Of Fiqh Jaffari'ah HAZRAT IMAM JAFFAR SADIQ WAS A TRUE MUSLIM. THE SHIA TAKE HIM AS ONE OF THEIR LEADING IMAM WHO FOUNDED FAIQH JAFARI'AH OR THE SHIA JURISPRUDENCE. HOWEVER, THE FACT IS THAT IMAM JAFFAR SADIQ WHOSE HOUSE IS EVEN NOW PRESERVED NEAR MASJID NABVI, MADINAH PRAYED FIVE TIMES PRAYERS BEHIND THE IMAM OF THAT TIME IN THE AFORESAID MASJID AND PAID ZAKAT TO THE THEN MUSLIM RULERS.
THE PRESENT SHIA WHO ASCRIBE THEIR FIQH (JURISPRUDENCE) TO IMAM JAFFAR SADIQ HAS NO BEARING AS THE FOUR FAMOUS BOOKS ON SHIATHEOOGY WERE COMPILED MUCH AFTER THE DEATH OF IMAM JAFFAR SADIQ. THEIR WAS NO SUCH THING AS FIQH JAFFIRAH IN THE 1ST AND 2ND CENTURY OF THE HIJRI YEAR. THE FOUR BASIC BOOKS OF SHIA THEOLOGY ARE AS UNDER :- (i) AL-KAFI ( ) BY ABU JAFFAR KULAINI 330 H I.E. WRITTEN 180 YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF IMAM JAFFAR SADIQ. (ii) (MAN LA YAHDHURHUL FAQIH) BY MUHAMMAD BIN ALI IBN BAYUAH QUMI 381 H I.E. WRITTEN ABOUT 230 YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF IMAM JAFFAR SADIQ. (iii) (TAHZIB UL AHKAAM) (iv) (AL-ISTIBSAR) BOTH BY MUHAMMAD BIN HASAN YUSI 460 H I.E. WRITTEN AFTER 310 YEARS OF THE DEATH OF IMAM JAFFAR. THUS IT WOULD BE SEEN THAT THE AFORESAID BOOKS WERE COMPILED AFTER 180 TO 310 YEARS OF THE DEATH OF IMAM JAFFAR SADIQ IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SHIA PRACTICES OF FABRICATION AND FALSEHOOD. IT IS FUTILE TO TRACE THE SOURCE OF FIQH JAFFARIAH FROM THE BOOK OF ALLAH AS ACCORDING TO SHIA BELIEF QUR'AN HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO TAHRIF (PERVERSION). THESE ARE NO INDICATIONS THAT FIQH JAFFARIAH WAS EVER INTRODUCED OR IMPLEMENTED IN ANY OF THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES LIKE EGYPT DURING THE ABBASIDE CALIPHATE FROM 659 TO 923 H, OR TURKEY DURING THE OSMANIA CALIPHATE FROM 1288 TO 1924 (WHEN MUSTAFA CONTINENT RIGHT FROM THE REIGN OF MUHAMMAD GHORI TO THE LAST MOGHAL EMPEROR. IN SHORT, NO MUSLIM GOVERNMENT IN ANY AGE HAS GIVEN ANY PLACE TO FIQH JAFFARI'AH IN THEIR LAW OR CONSTITUTION. IT IS AN OPEN FACT THAT HAZRAT ALI DURING HIS CALIPHATE ACTED UPON THE FIQH OF HIS PRECEDECESSORS (ABU BAKAR, UMAR & USMAN). WHY THEN THOSE WHO TODAY CLAIM LOYALTY TO ALI ARE AGAINST THIS FIQH (BASED ON THE QUR'AN AND SUNNAH) WHICH HAS BEEN FOLLOWED BY THE UMMAH THROUGHOUT THE AGES? THE PRESENT POLICY OF APPEASEMENT OF SHIAS BEING FOLLOWED IN PAKISTAN WHO ARE ONLY 2 1/2% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IS REPLETE WITH GRAVE DANGERS AS THE PAST EVENTS HAVE ALREADY PROVED. THE MEN IN AUTHORITY SHOULD COOLY TAKE STOCK OF THE SITUATION AND TAKE A COURAGEOUS AND RESOLUTE STAND IN THIS REGARD IN KEEPING WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SHARIAH. IF THE SUNNIS IN IRAN WHO ARE NO LESS THAN 35% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION OF IRAN ARE GIVEN NO EXAMPTION AND ARE GOVERNED BY THE PUBLIC (SHIA) LAW OF THAT COUNTRY, WHY UNDUE FAVOURS SHOULD BE SHOWN TO SUCH A MINORITY UNDER WHOSE LEADERSHIP (YAHYA KHAN) WE LOST EAST PAKISTAN AND WHO DAY IN AND DAY OUT ARE NOT TIRED OF REVILING THE COMPANIONS OF THE PROPHET (SAW). THE SHIAS BECAUSE OF THEIR BELIEFS CANNOT BE LOYAL TO ANY MUSLIM GOVERNMENT. ACCORDING TO THEIR BELIEF ALL THE MUSLIM GOVERNMENT PRIOR TO THE ADVENT OF IMAM GHAIB (ONE WHO DISAPPEARED) ARE UNJUST AND OPPRESSIVE. IF THESE PEOPLE OUTWARDLY PROFESS LOYALTY TO A CERTAIN MUSLIM RULER OR GOVERNMENT, IT IS OWING TO THEIR PRACTICE OF TAIQYA AS THEIR HATRED IS INGRAINED AGAINST THE SUNNI MUSLIMS. ACCORDING TO HISTORIAN IBN KHULDUN, SHIAS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SACK OF BAGHDAD AS THEY INVITED HALAKU KHAN TO ATTACK THE THEN MIGHTY MUSLIM EMPIRE. IT IS SELDOM REALISED THAT SHIA MINORITY IS A GREAT STUMBLING BLOCK IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF SHARI'AH IN PAKISTAN. THE ZAKAT & USHR ORDINANCE WAS PROMULGATED IN PAKISTAN 1980. HOWEVER, ITS PRACTICAL APPLICATION IN THE COUNTRY RAISED A NUMBER OF EYE BROWS WHICH WAS QUITE NATURAL AS THE SYSTEM OF ZAKAT AT OFFICIAL LEVEL WAS THAT NO MUSLIM SHOULD BE EXEMPTED FROM THE LEVY OF ZAKAT AND USHR AS THERE IS NO SUCH PRECEDENCE IN ISLAMIC HISTORY. ANYONE WHO IS A MUSLIM HAS TO PAY ZAKAT AND USHR AS A MATTER OF RELIGIOUS OBLIGATION. REFUSAL TO PAY ZAKAT IN FACT IS DENIAL OF ONE OF THE PILLARS OF ISLAM AND THE DENIAL OF ONE THE PILLARS OF ISLAM IS THE DENIAL OF THE ENTIRE EDIFIC OF ISLAM. THAT IS WHY HAZRAT ABU BAKAR WAGED WAR AGAINST THOSE MUSLIM TRIBES WHO REFUSED TO PAY ZAKAT AFTER THE DEMISE OF THE HOLY PROPHET (SAW). IF THE MEMBERS OF ANY SECT CONSIDER THEM AS MUSLIMS, THEN THEY CANNOT GET THEMSELVES EXEMPTED FROM THE PAYMENT OF ZAKAT & USHR WHICH IS A RELIGIOUS OBLIGATION. EVERY ISLAMIC STATE IS OBLIGED TO COLLECT SUCH AN MANATORY PAYMENT. IF ANY MUSLIM REFUSES TO MAKE SUCH PAYMENTS, HE CASTS HIMSELF OUTSIDE THE PALE OF ISLAM. AS SUCH THE EXEMPTION GIVEN TO SHIAS IN THE AFORESAID ORDINANCE IS AGAINST THE TEACHINGS AND SPIRITOF ISLAM. ANOTHER DRAWBACK ACCURING FROM SUCH EXEMPTION IS THAT MANY FEABLE-MINDED SUNNI MUSLIMS HAVE SUBMITTED DECLARATIONS TO THE EFFECT THAT THEY ARE SHIAS IN ORDER TO ESCAPE FROM THE PAYMENT OF ZAKAT AND USHR. ON ACCOUNT OF THIS DUPLICITY, THE NUMBER OF SHIAS HAVE SWELLED UP IN PAKISTAN IN THE RECENT YEARS. NO MUSLIM RULER HAS THE RIGHT TO INTERFERE IN THE INJUNCTIONS OF ISLAM. HE HAS NO AUTHORITY TO GIVE EXEMPTIONS FROM SHARI'AH DOES SO VIOLATES THE SHARI'AH AND WILL BE ANSWERABLE TO ALLAH ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT! NOTES 1. THE SHIAS HAVE BEEN GIVEN EQUAL REPRESENTATION WITH AHLE-HADITH, BRALVI AND DEOBANDI GROUPS OF AHLE-SUNNAH IN THE COUNCIL OF ISLAMIC IDEOLOGY, GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN AND BECAUSE OF THIS UNFORTUNATE SITUATION THE PACE OF ISLAMISATION CANNOT BE ACCELERATED DUE TO OBSTRUCTIONS CREATED BY THE SHIAS ON INSTRUCTIONS FROM OUTSIDE ELEMENTS WHO DO NOT WANT TO SEE PAKISTAN DEVELOP INTO A TRULY ISLAMIC STATE ON SENTED IN THE DELIBERATIONS OF THE COUNCIL OF ISLAMIC IDEOLOGY JUST AS SUNNIS IN IRAN ARE NOT TAKEN ON SUCH BODIES THERE. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
