THE SHIA CREED IS BASED ON THREE "TS" -- TABARRA (ABUSING), TAQIYAH (HYPOCRISY AND FALSEHOOD), TAMATTU (MUTA) (PROSTITUTION). THE MORE A SHIA INDULGES IN TABARRA THE MORE MERITORIOUS HE BECOMES.
TABARRA IS ONE OF THE MAIN PILLARS OF SHI'ISM. IT MEANS DISOWNING OF THE FIRST THREE CALIPHS-- HAZRATS ABU BAKR, OMAR AND OTHMAN (R.A). THEY ARE CONSIDERED USURPERS OF THE CALIPHATE OF HAZRAT ALI (R.A) WHO ARE ORDAINED CALIPH OF THE HOLY PROPHET. HENCE THE SHIA'S ENTERTAIN VERY GREAT ENMITY TOWARDS THESE CALIPHS AND AGAINST ALL THOSE WHO REGARD THEM AS LAWFULLY ELECTED CALIPHS I.E. THE SUNNITES. IT IS OF GREAT MERIT TO DISOWN, CURSE AND ABUSE THESE FIRST THREE CALIPHS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS I.E. THE SUNNI MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS. DURING THE MUHARRAM CELEBRATIONS, THE SHIA'S GREATLY INDULGE IN TABARRA. HADHRAT ALI, HOWEVER, DESPISED THOSE WHO HELD IN CONTEMPT THE COMPANIONS OF RASUL-ALLAH (S.A.W) AND EVEN HIS ADVERSARIES. WHERE IS THAT NOBLE ALI -- AS COMPARED TO THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES THE FOLLOWERS AND LOVERS OF ALI AND HIS CHILDREN YET REVILED THE GREATEST OF THE COMPANIONS OF RASUL--ALLAH (S.A.W.) AND CURSED THEM AND OPENLY DECLARED THEM KAFIRS (INFIDELS). THEY ARE CALUMNIATORS! THIS WAS THE VIEW OF THE SHI'A REGARDING THE NOBLE COMPANIONS OF THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH -- PEACE AND BLESSING OF ALLAH BE UPON HIM -- WHO CARRIED THE MESSAGE OF ALLAH TO THE FARTHEST CORNERS OF THE WORLD. THEY CARRIED ON THEIR SHOULDERS THE GREAT RESPONSIBILITY OF CONVEYING THIS MESSAGE TO OTHERS. THEY ACTUALLY CONVEYED THE DIVINE MESSAGE EXACTLY WHAT AND HOW THEY HAD HEARD IT FROM THE LIPS OF THE PROPHET S.A.W. ALLAH, THEREFORE, GAVE THEM VICTORY OVER THE LANDS OF THE ROMANS AND THE SYRIANS, THE LANDS OF ALL THESE ACCURSED AND MEAN PEOPLE, THE JEWS OF YEMEN AND PERSIA. HAD THEY NOT BEEN THERE, THERE WOULD HAVE NOT DESTINED FOR ISLAM AS VAST AN EMPIRE AS IT HAS BEEN, AND HAS EXISTED. THE QUR'AN DESCRIBES THEM WELL IN THE FOLLOWING VERSE: "ALLAH HATH PROMISED SUCH OF YOU AS BELIEVE AND DO GOOD WORKS THAT HE WILL SURELY MAKE THEM TO SUCCEED (THE PRESENT RULERS) IN THE EARTH EVEN AS HE CAUSED THOSE WHO WERE BEFORE THEM TO SUCCEED (OTHERS); AND THAT HE WILL SURELY ESTABLISH FOR THEM THEIR RELIGION WHICH HE HATH APPROVED FOR THEM, AND WILL GIVE THEM IN EXCHANGE SAFETY AFTER THEIR FEAR." (24:25). AS ALREADY STATED THE SHIITE MOVEMENT WAS ORIGINALLY REARED AND NURTURED BY THE JEWS WHO WERE AFRAID OF THE SPREAD OF ISLAM & EXPANSION OF THE ISLAMIC EMPIRE AND WANTED TO THROTTLE ITS GROWTH BY HATCHING CONSPIRACIES AGAINST IT. ALL THE HISTORIANS ARE AGREED ON THE POINT THAT THE CONSPIRATOR IBN SABA AND HIS JEWSIH LOBBY UNDER THE GARB OF ISLAM KINDLED THE FIRE OF MISCHIEF AND CORRUPTION AND JOURNEYED FROM TOWN TO TOWN, AND VILLAGE TO VILLAGE, INSTIGATING THE PEOPLE AGAINST CALIPH UTHMAN. THESE WICKED PLOTTERS ROAMED ABOUT AMONG THE MUSLIMS SPREADING MISCHIEF, DISCARD AND SETTING ABLAZE FIRE OF DISOBEDIENCE IN THE LAND. EVERYWHERE HE TRIED TO SPLIT APART THE UNITY OF THE MUSLIMS AND TO DISRUPT THEIR SOLIDARITY UNDER THE GARB OF PARTISANSHIP WITH ALI R.A. AL-NAWABAKHI SAYS "ABDULLAH BIN SABAH WAS THE FIRST MAN TO PUBLISH THE DOCTRINE OF IMAMATE OF ALI". (FIRAQ AL SHIA P. 44)., AL-KASHSHI SAYS: "IBN SABA WAS THE FIRST MAN TO POPULARISE THE NECESSITY OF BELIEVING IN THE IMAMATE OF ALI" (RIJAL AL-KASHSKI, P. 101). ALL THIS WAS DONE IN ORDER TO CREATE RIFT AND REBELLION AMONG THE MUSLIMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLANS HE HAD DESIGNED WITH THE HELP OF THE JEWS. IT IS SAID THAT ABDULLAH IBN SABAH WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO OPENLY REVILE HADHRAT ABU BAKR, UMAR AND USMAN (R.A) AND HIS NEAR ONES. FROM THAT TIME TO THIS DAY THE SHIAS HAVE FAITHFULLY FOLLOWED IN HIS FOOTSTEPS; RATHER IT HAS BECOME AN ARTICLE OF FAITH WITH THEM. SO MUCH SO, THAT A PERSON IS NOT TO BE RECKONED TO BE A SHIA UNLESS HE VOMITS VENOM AGAINST THE THREE CALIPHS OF THE MESSENGERS OF ALLAH, HIS ADVISERS AND ADMIRERS. WE HAVE ALREADY QUOTED INSTANCES OF TABARRA BY KHOMENI FROM HIS BOOK IN CHAPTER 7 "THEORY OF IMAMATE". KHOMENI IN THE SAID BOOK HAVE COMMENDED THE WRITINGS OF ALLAMA BAQIR MAJLISI PARTICULARLY HIS BOOK HAQUL YAQEEN HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED TO THE READERS. IN THIS BOOK AT P. 145 BAQIR MAJLISI NARRATES A BLOOD-CUDLING SHIA TRADITION THAT IMAM MAHDI WILL ORDER THE DIGGING OUT FROM GRAVE THE DEAD BODIES OF SHAIKHEEN (I.E. HADHRAT'S ABU BAKR AND UMAR) MAKE THEM ALIVE (BY HIS POWER) AND THEY WILL BE NAILED TO CROSS A THOUSAND TIMES! THE SAME BAQIR MAJLISI IN HIS HAYATUL QULOOB WHICH IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT BOOK WRITES AT P. 870 THAT AISHA & HAFSA CAUSED THE DEATH OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) BY DELIVERING POISON (IN HIS FOOD). HE HAS USED THE EPITHET (HYPOCRITE) FREQUENTLY IN THE AFORESAID BOOK FOR HADHRAT'S AISHA, & HAFSA, THE BLESSED WIVES OF RASUL-ALLAH AND MOTHERS OF THE FAITHFUL. IT IS REALLY EXTREMELY PAINFUL AND REVOLTING TO READ OR QUOTE SHIA RUBBISH ABOUT UMMHATUL MOMINEEN AND THE SAHABAH BUT THIS IS BEING DONE AS A DUTY TO ENLIGHTEN UN-WARY AHLE-SUNNAH SO THAT THEY MAY KNOW THE SHIA BELIEFS AND DOCTRINES IN THEIR TRUE PERSPECTIVE. IMAM BAQIR SAYS THAT AFTER RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) ALL THE SAHABAH TURNED APOSTATES EXCEPT THREE VIZ MIQDAD BIN ASWAD, ABU DHARR GHAFARI AND SALMAN FARSI. THESE PEOPLE REFUSED TO OFFER OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO ABU BAKR......" ( VOL.II & p. 246). ZAIN-UL-ABIDEEN IN THE TRADITION OF SHIAS HAS SAID: "BOTH ABU BAKR AND UMAR WERE KAFIRS; WHOSOEVER LOVES THEM IS SIMILARLY A KAFIR" -- (HAQ-UL-YAQEEN, P. 522). IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE BLESSED WITH INTELLECT THAT HE SHOULD DOUBT IN THE KUFR OF UMAR AND IN THE KUFR OF SUCH A PERSON WHO CONSIDERS UMAR AS A MUSLIM. . . HENCE CURSE OF ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER BE UPON THEM SUCH PEOPLE WHO TAKE UMAR AS A MUSLIM AND ON THOSE WHO CEASE TO ACCURSE THEM (I.E... ABU BAKR & UMAR) (HAYAT-UL-QULOOB P. 680, VOL. ii & PP. 45--46 BY MULLAH BAQIR ALI MAJLISI IRANI). IMAM JAFFAR USED TO ACCURSE REGULARLY AND CONTINEOUSLY FOUR MEN AND WOMEN AFTER EVERY FARD SALAT (OBLIGATORY PRAYER). THESE MEN AND WOMEN WERE HAZRAT ABU BAKR, UMAR USMAN AND MUAWIYAH AND HAZRAT AISHA, HAFSA, HIND AND UMM-UL-HAKIM (SISTER OF MUAWIYAH) RESPECTIVELY. ( VOL. III, P. 342) "ABU BAKR AND UMAR ARE THE HAMAN AND FIRAUN OF THIS UMMAH" (HAYAT-UL-QALOOB). "ABU BAKR WAS THE CALF OF BANI ISREAL AND UMAR SAMIRITY" (HAQ-UL-YAQEEN, (P. 169) BY MULLAH BAQIR ALI MAJLISI IRANI). AND THOSE TWO ACCURSED WHO WERE THE IDOLS OF QURAISH, WERE TAKEN AS COMMANDER OF THE FAITHFUL BY THE MUSLIMS AND COUNTED AS SUPERIOR TO ALL THE SAHABA (HAYATUL-QULOOB, VOL.II, P. 375) IMAM JAFFAR SADIQ SAYS THAT PEOPLE OF SYRIA ARE WORSE THAN THE ROMANS AND MAKKANS OPENLY DENY GOD ( VOL. II, P. 410). HE FURTHER SAID: "THE PEOPLE OF MAKKAH OPENLY DENY GOD AND ARE KAFIRS AND PEOPLE OF MADINAH ARE SEVENTY TIMES MORE POLLUTED THAN THE MAKKANS. (IBID). WHO TAKES ALI AS THE FIRST IMAM AND LEADER HE IS A MOMIN AND WHO DENIES HIM OF THIS (FIRST) POSITION HE IS A KAFIR. WHO ASSOCIATES OTHERS IN THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE (BAYAT) OF ALI IS A MUSHRIK (POLYTHEIS) -- (HAYAT-UL-QULOOB VOL. II, P. 542)." WHO DOUBTS IN THE IMAMATE OF ALI (IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BELIEF OF SHIAS) HE IS A KAFIR LIKE THE ONE IN THE DAYS OF IGNORANCE." (P. 546). THAT KUFR WHICH IS OPPOSED TO THIS IMAM (OF THE SHIAS) INCLUDES ALL THE BATIL SECTS OF VARIOUS RELIGIONS LIKE KUFFAR, MUNAFIQEEN, MUSHRIKEEN, ALL SUNNI (MUSLMS) AND ALL SECTS OF THE SHIAS EXCEPT ITHNA ASHRAH LIKE ZIADIYYAH, KASANIA, NUVASIAH) BECAUSE ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE PERPETUAL INHABITANTS OF HELL (HAQUL YAQEEN, p. 537). IMAM OF SHIAS, JAFFAR SADIQ SAYS: EXCLUDING WE SHIAS, THE REST OF PEOPLE ARE THE OFFSPRINGS OF PROSTITUTES. ( p. 245) HE IS ALSO REPORTED TO HAVE SAID: "THIS UMMAH IS LIKE SWINESS." ( VOL. II, P. 337) HE FURTHER QUESTIONED: "WHAT IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THIS ACCURSED UMMAH?" THE IMAMIAH ARE UNANIMOUS IN THEIR VIEW THAT ALL THE PEOPLE OF BIDAH (I.E. AHLE SUNNAH ETC.) ARE KAFIRS. IT IS THE DUTY OF THE RULER TO CALL UPON THEM TO REPENT AND INVITE THEM TO THE TURE (SHIA) RELIGION. IF THEY REFRAIN FROM BIDAH AND COME TO THE STRAIGHT PATH HE (THE RULER) SHOULD ACCEPT THEIR REPENTENCE; OTHERWISE HE SHOULD KILL THEM ALL BECAUSE THEY BEING BEREFT OF IMAM ARE MURTADS AND WHOSOEVER DIES ON ANY RELIGION OTHER THAN SHIA HE WILL BE CONSIGNED TO HELL." (HAQ-UL-YAQEEN p. 384). IT IS NOT LAWFUL TO PERFORM ABLUTION FROM THE LEFT OVER WATER OF JEWS, CHRISTIANS, PRODUCTS OF ZINA AND ANTI-ISLAM ELEMENTS; BUT FAR MORE POLLUTED IS THE LEFT OVER OF THE SUNNIES ( VOL. I, P. 8). IT IS THE BELIEF OF ALL THE SHIAS THAT THIER TWELVE IMAMS ARE LIGHT (NOOR) FROM THE LIGHT (NOOR) OF ALLAH AND HE HAS HANDS, FEET, FACE AND OTHER BODILY ORGANS. EXCEPT THEMSELVES, THE TWELVE IMAMS ARE THE CREATORS OF THE UNIVERSE, OWNER, ABSOLUTE, KNOWER OF THE HIDDEN SECRETS, OMNIPRESENT AND HAVE THE DISCRETION TO MAKE A THING LAWFUL OR UNLAWFUL. PARADISE AND HELL ARE IN THEIR CONTROL AND POSSESSION. (KAFI-KITAB UL-HAJ) THAT'S WHY SHIAS RAISE THE SLOGAN OF AND CALL ON HIM (ALI) FOR HELP AND SUPPORT IN TIMES OF NEED AND CRISIS. RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) HAD DEPUTED ON JIHAD THE CONTIGENT OF USAMA OUTSIDE MADINAH ON AN EXPEDITION BUT THE SHIAS ALLEGE THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS CONTIGENT WAS NOT JIHAD BUT RATHER IT WAS INTENDED TO DRIVE HYPOCRITIES AMONG THE MUHAJIREEN AND ANSAR OUTSIDE MADINAH SO THAT THE OATH OF ALLEGIENCE OF ALI COULD TAKE PLACE SMOOTHLY. (HAYAT-UL-QULOOB, VOL. ii P. 43) WHAT A STRONG REPROACH AGAINST RASUL-ALLAH (SAW). IMAM JAFFAR SAYS: "I TAKE THAT SHARI'AH (LAW) WHICH HAS BEEN BROUGHT BY ALI, WHATEVER HE ABSTAINS I ABSTAIN FROM IT. HE (ALI) HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH THAT VERY STATUS AND POSITION WHICH HAS BEEN ENJOYED BY THE 11 IMAMS ONE AFTER THE OTHER (USUL AL-KAFI, KITAB-UL-HAJ, VOL. I, P. 225). LIKE THE PRESENT-DAY SHIAS OUT OF TAQIYAH ALTHOUGH KHOMENI DENIES PERVESION IN THE TEXT OF THE QUR'AN BUT HE HOLDS NOORI TABRISI IN HIGH ESTEEM WHO HAS ESTABLISHED IN HIS BOOK THAT THE QUR'AN HAS BEEN PERVERTED ON THE BASIS OF 2000 TRADITIONS PRESENTED THEREIN. ALL THIS IS INTENDED TO BEFOOL THE MUSLIMS FOR HOW CAN ONE BELIEVE IN THE GENUINES OF THE QUR'AN WHEN THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS TRANSMISSION ARE DUBBED AS KAFIRS, MUNAFIQS AND WHAT NOT! ALL THE MUSLIMS HOLD THE BELIEF THAT AFTER RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) THE THREE CHIEF SOURCES OF DEEN ARE: THE QUR'AN, THE SUNNAH OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) AND THAT OF KHULFA-RASHIDEEN AND CONSENSUS OF UMMAH. THE SHIAS SAY THAT THIS IS WRONG AND ONLY QUR'AN AND IMAM ARE THE SOURCES OF DEEN. THEY DENY THE SUNNAH OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) AND WHAT IS STRANGE THAT BOTH THE OTHER SOURCES ARE NOT PRESENT EITHER I.E. THE LAST IMAM HAS DISAPPEARED AND TAKEN ALONG WITH HIM THE ORIGINAL AND THE GENUINE QUR'AN AND ALL THE PEOPLE INCLUDING SHIAS ARE BEREFT OF GUIDANCE BECAUSE EVEN KHOMENI CANNOT HAVE ANY ACCESS TO THE HIDDEN IMAM AND AS SUCH ALL ARE GROPING IN THE DARK. . . HOW THOSE WHO ARE GROPING IN THE DARK CAN LEAD OTHERS TO LIGHT OF FAITH? BUT THOSE WHO REFUSE TO SEE LIGHT HAVE NO HELPERS. . . ADDRESSING A RALLY IN MID 1980 AFTER SUCCESSFUL ROUND-UP ( ) OF PAKISTAN SECRETARIAT IN ISLAMABAD, A SHIA LEADER HAD THE AUADACITY TO SAY THAT DONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN CALIPHATE COULD BE SECURED BY GIVING ONE'S DAUGHTER IN MARRIAGE. THIS WAS A POINTED REFERENCE TO HADHRAT ABU BAKR (R.A) AND A MOUNING ATTACK ON THE INTEGRITY OF THE HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W.). A FEW EXAMPLE OF TABARA ARE QUOTED FROM A SHIA MUJTAHID MAULVI MUHAMMAD HUSSAIN DAKKOO'S BOOK TAJJLIAAT-E-SADAQQT: (1) "THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND REST OF OUR BRETHREN (I.E. SUNNIS) CONCERN THE FIRST THREE CALIPS (HAZRAT ABU BAKAR, UMAR AND USMAN). WHILE THE SUNNI (AHLE-SUNNAH) CONSIDER THEM THE BEST OF THE LOT AFTER THE PROPHET (SAW) WE ARE OF THE FIRM OPINION THAT THEY WERE BEREFIT OF THE WEALTH OF IMAN, AND SINCERITY (P. 201). (2) "AMIR (I.E. ALI) CONSIDERED (I.E. CALIPHATE OF ABU BAKAR, UMAR AND USMAN) AS AUTHORITARIAN AND BASED ON USURPTION AND ALL THE THREE CALIPHS ACCORDING TO HIS ESTIMATION WERE SINNERS, LIARS, TREACHEROUS, CHEATS, OPPRESSORS AND USURPERS AND HE (ALI) CONSIDERED HIMSELF AS THE MOST SUITABLE AND LAWFUL CONDIDATE FOR THE CALIPHATE." (P. 206). (3) "THE CONQUESTS DURING THE REIGN OF FIRST THREE CALIPHS BROUGHT A BAD NAME TO ISLAM' (P.95). (4) "UMAR WAS SUCH COWARD AND FEEBLE PERSON THAT HE COULD NOT EVEN DEFEND HIMSELF." (P. 164). (5)A "IN THE MURDER OF USMAN, AISHA HAD A GREATER ROLE (I.E. SHE WAS AN ACCOMPLICE IN THE MURDER)." (5)B "THE BATTLE OF CAMEL ( ) WAS ON ACCOUNT OF THE PERSONAL GRUDGE, JEALOUSY AND HATRED WHICH AISHA (R.A) BORE AGAINST ALI (R.A). THE ENEMITY OF AISHA (R.A) TOWARDS ALI IS NO SECRET." (P. 477). (5)C WE DO NOT DENY THE FIRST PART OF SUNNI ASSERTION THAT AISHA (R.A) BEING WIFE OF THE PROPHET (SAW) IS THE MOTHER OF THE MUSLIMS; BUT WE DO NOT SUCRIBE TO THE VIEW THAT SHE WAS A MOMINAH (BELIEVER). TO BE A MOTHER IS ONE THING AND TO A MOMINAH IS ANOTHER THING." (P. 478). (6) ABOUT KHALID BIN WALID IT IS STATED "AFTER KILLING THE LEADER OF THE TRIBE, MALIK IBN NAWAIRA, KHALID COMMITTED ZINA (FORNICATION) WITH HIS WIFE ON THE SAME NIGHT." (P. 432). THE SAME ALLEGATION HAS BEEN REPEATED BY ANOTHER SHIA MUJTAHID MAULVI HUSSAIN BUKSH JARA WHO IN HIS BOOK EVEN WENT FURTHER AND SAID: "TYRANT KHALID BEHEADED MALIK AND TWO OF THE OTHER LEADERS OF HIS TRIBE AND THEIR HEADS WERE PUT IN THE OVEN ON WHICH FOOD WAS COOKED FOR THE FEST OF WALIMAH. IN THIS WAY, THE WALIMAH OF ZINA WAS PREPARED WHICH KHALID ATE HIMSELF AND SERVED TO HIS ARMYMEN AS WELL." (P. 100). (7) "UMAR WAS SUCH AN UNGRATEFUL MAN THAT HE COLLECTED FIREWOOD IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE OF FATIMAH IN ORDER TO SET IT ABLAZE AND EXCHANGE HOT WORDS WITH HER." (P. 144). ANOTHER SHIA MUJTAHID, MAULVI GHULAM HUSSAIN NAJFI IN HIS BOOK HAS POURED THE FOLLOWING RUBBISH: (8) THE TITLE OF "FAROOQ" WAS BESTOWED ON UMAR BY THE JEWS." (P. 429). (9) "UMAR DID NOT HAVE BELIEF IN THE PRESENT QUR'AN." (P. 429). (10) "UMAR USED TO DECRY THE WIVES OF THE PROPHET (SAW) WHEN THEY WENT IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF MADINAH TO ANSWER THE CALL OF NATURE." (P. 430). (11) "EVEN AFTER THE PROCLAIMATION OF WINE BEING UNLAWFUL, UMAR KEPT ON TAKING IT AND THE LAST THING THAT HE TOOK BEFORE HIS DEATH WAS WINE." (P. 430). (12) "UMAR IS THE LOCK OF HELL" (P. 430). (13) "UMAR USED TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH HIS WIFE FROM THE BACK (I.E. RECTUM). (P. 432). THE SAME WRITER IN ANOTHER BOOK HAD NO CALUMNS OF CONSCIENCE TO SAY THAT "HAZRAT USMAN KILLED HIS WIFE UMM KULSUM THROUGH EXCESSIVE COPULATION (SEXUAL INTERCOURSE) AND LIKE WALID PERFORMED THE SEXUAL ACT EVEN WITH HER DEAD BODY AND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, HE WAS THE FIRST CALIPH WHO SURPASSING ALL THE LIMITS OF DECENCY AND BASHFULNESS DID SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH THE DEAD BODY OF IS WIFE." (P. 432) THIS OUTBURST OF VULGARITY AND VULUPTUOUNESS HAS BEEN MADE BY THE SHIAS AGAINST HAZRAT USMAN WHO WAS THE PARAGON OF HAYA (MODESTY). HE WAS SO NOBLE AND BASHFUL THAT ACCORDING TO THE PROPHET (SAW) EVEN THE ANGLES FELT SHY OF HIM! IN THE FACE OF ABOVE EXTRACTS THE READERS CAN THEMSELVES JUDGE HOW SHIA-SUNNI UNITY IS POSSIBLE UNLESS THE SHIAS REPENT AND RENOUNCE THEIR HATRED OF THE SAHABA WHO ARE THE GUIDING STARS OF THIS UMMAH. SOME OF THE AHADITH OF THE PROPHET (SAW) ARE QUOTED BELOW WHICH MAY SERVE AS EYE-OPENER TO THE OPPONENTS OF SAHABA: (1) AMR BIN AL-AS TOLD THAT WHEN ALLAH'S MESSENGER SENT HIM AS HEAD OF THE ARMY TO DHAT-AS-SALASIL (IN 8 A.H) HE WENT TO HIM AND ASKED HIM WHICH OF THE PEOPLE HE LIKED MOST. ON HIS REPLYING THAT IT WAS AISHA, HE SAID HE WAS REFERRING TO MEN, AND HE REPLIED THAT IT WAS HER FATHER. HE ASKED WHO COME NEXT, AND HE REPLIED THAT IT WAS UMAR AND WNET ON TO ENUMERATE SOME MEN . . . . . . . . . " (BUKHARI AND MUSLIM). (2) ABU SAID AL-KHUDRI REPORTED THE PROPHET AS SAYING, "DO NOT REVILE MY COMPANIONS, FOR IF ONE OF YOU CONTRIBUTED AS MUCH GOLD AS UHUD IT WOULD NOT AMOUNT TO AS MUCH AS THE MUDD OF ONE OF THEM, OR HALF OF IT." (BUKHARI AND MUSLIM) THIS HADITH CLEARLY SHOWS THE VAST SUPERIORITY OF THE COMPANIONS OVER OTHER MUSLIMS. (3) IMRAN BIN HUSSAIN REPORTED ALLAH'S MESSENGER AS SAYING, "THE BEST OF MY PEOPLE ARE MY GENERATION, THEN THEIR IMMEDIATE FOLLOWERS, THEN THEIR IMMEDIATE FOLLOWERS. AFTER THEM THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO GIVE TESTIMONY WITHOUT BEING ASKED, WHO WILL BE TREACHEROUS AND NOT TO BE TRUSTED, WHO WILL MAKE VOWS WHICH THEY DO NOT FULFIL, AMONG WHOM FATNESS (MEANING FINE LIVING WHICH LEADS TO NEGLACT OF RELIGION) WILL APPEAR." (BUKHARI AND MUSLIM). (4) UMAR BIN AL-KHATTAB TOLD THAT HE HEARD ALLAH'S MESSENGER SAY, "MY COMPANIONS ARE LIKE THE STARS SO WHICHEVER OF THEM YOU COPY YOU WILL BE GUIDED". (RAZIL). (5) ANAS REPORTED ALLAH'S MESSENGER AS SAYING, "AMONG MY PEOPLE MY COMPANIONS ARE LIKE SALT IN FOOD, FOR FOOD IS GOOD ONLY WHEN THERE IS SALT IN IT." (SHARH AS-SUNNAH). (6) IBN UMAR REPORTED ALLAH'S MESSENGER AS SAYING "WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE WHO REVILE MY COMPANIONS SAY, MAY ALLAH CURSE YOU AND YOUR MISCHIEF." (TIRMIDHI). (7) ABDULLAH BIN MUGHAFFAL REPORTED ALLAH'S MESSENGER AS SAYING, "FEAR ALLAH REGARDING MY COMPANIONS, FEAR ALLAH REGARDING MY COMPANIONS, AND DO NOT MAKE THEM A TARGET (I.E. CRITICISING THEM AND SPEAKING EVIL OF THEM) AFTER I AM GONE. HE WHO LOVES THEM DOES SO FROM LOVE OF ME, AND HE WHO HATES THEM DOES SO FROM HATRED OF ME. HE WHO INJURES THEM HAS IJURED ME, HE WHO INJURES ME HAS INJURED ALLAH AND HE WHO INJURES ALLAH WILL SOON BE PUNISHED BY HIM." (TIRMIDHI). SHIA ADVERSE CRITICISM IN THE MAIN IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE SAHABAH IN GENERAL AND SHAIKHAIN (I.E. HADHRAT ABU BAKR AND HADHRAT UMAR, IN PARTICULAR AND THEY (SHIAS) NEVER FEEL ANY QUALM OF CONSCIENCE IN SPEAKING EVIL OF THEM ALTHOUGH THEY WERE MOST DEAR TO RASUL-ALLAH (SAW). HADHRAT ALI REPORTED ALLAH'S MESSENGER AS SAYING, "ALLAH SHOW MERCY TO ABU BAKR. HE GAVE ME HIS DAUGHTER AS WIFE, HE CONVEYED TO THE ABODE OF THE EMIGRATION, HE ACCOMPANIED ME IN THE CAVE, AND HE MANUMITTED BILAL OUT OF HIS PROPERTY. ALLAH SHOWS MERCY TO UMAR. HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH EVEN IF IT IS BITTER, AND THE TRUTH HAS LEFT HIM WITHOUT A FRIEND. ALLAH SHOWS MERCY TO UTHMAN. THE ANGELS DISPLAY BASHFULNESS BEFORE HIM. ALLAH SHOWS MERCY TO ALI. O ALLAH ! CAUSE THE TRUTH TO ACCOMPANY HIM WHEREEVER HE GOES." (TIRMIDHI). HADHRAT ANAS REPORTED THE PROPHET AS SAYING, "THE MOST COMPASSIONATE MEMBER OF MY PEOPLE TOWARDS MY PEOPLE IS ABU BAKR, THE MOST RIGOROUS REGARDING ALLAH'S AFFAIR IS UMAR, THE MOST GENUINELY MODEST IS UTHMAN, THE ONE WHO KNOWS MOST ABOUT OBLIGATORY DUTIES IS ZAID B. THABIT, THE ONE WHO KNOWS BEST HOW TO RECITE THE QUR'AN IS UBAYYB. KA'B, AND THE ONE WHO HAS MOST KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHAT IS LAWFUL AND WHAT IS PROHIBITED IS THE TRUSTWORTHY GUARDIAN OF THIS PEOPLE IS ABU UBAIDA B. ALJARRAH." (AHMAD AND TIRMIDHI). IN A VERSION BY QATADA IT CONTAINS THE PHRASE "THE MOST LEARNED IN LEGAL MATTERS IS ALI". THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH IS REPORTED TO HAVE SAID, "THE THING WHICH ALMIGHTY ALLAH PLACED IN MY CHEST I HAVE PLACED THE SAME IN THE CHEST OF ABU BAKR." IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE MORE ONE IS CLOSER TO SOMEONE THE MORE HE BENEFITS FROM HIS COMPANY. SIMILARLY HADHRAT ABU BAKR (RA) HAS BEEN DECLARED HEAD AND SHOULDER ABOVE THE OTHER SAHABA AND NONE AMONG THE SAHABAH COULD REACH HIS STATUS. THIS IS SO BECAUSE HADHRAT ABU BAKR (RA) HAD THE GREATEST LOVE AND REGARD FOR RASUL-ALLAH (SAW). THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH SAID: "ABU BAKR HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN PRECEDENCE BECAUSE OF FREQUENT SUPERERATORY PRAYERS AND FASTINGS BUT ON ACCOUNT OF THAT THING PLACED IN HIS HEART." THE ULAMA HAVE EXPLAINED THAT THE SAID THING SIGNIFIES LOVE AND BOUNDLESS DEVOTION TO RASUL-ALLAH (SAW). RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) IS REPORTED TO HAVE SAID: "ALMIGHTY ALLAH LIKED ME AND LIKED MY SAHABAH BECAUSE OF ME AND MADE SOME OF THEM MY WAZIR (MINISTERS), HELPERS AND RELATIVES. NOW IF SOMEONE ABUSES THEM, HE WILL BE UNDER THE CURSE OF ALLAH, ANGELS AND ALL MANKIND. ALMIGHTY ALLAH WILL NEITHER ACCEPT HIS REPENTENCE AND RASSOM NOR HIS FARDH AND HAWAFILS (DEEDS AND SUPERERATORY ACTS OF DEVOTION)." (TIBRANI & HAKIM). SIMILARLY DAR-UL-QUTNI RELATES FROM HADHRAT ALI (RA) THAT THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH SAID: "AFTER ME THERE WILL APPEAR A SECT WHICH WILL BE CALLED BY THE NAME OF RAFIDA. IF YOU GET HOLD OF SUCH PEOPLE, KILL THEM BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE MUSHRIKS (POLYTHIESTS)." HADHRAT ALI SAID : O MESSENGER OF ALLAH! WHAT WILL BE THEIR SIGN BY WHICH THEY COULD BE RECOGNISED? RASUL-ALLAH SAID: THEY WILL ATTRIBUTE TO YOU (ALI) SUCH MERITS AND QUALITIES WHICH YOU DO NOT POSSESS AND CAST ASPERSIONS ON THE FIRST GENERATION (OF SAHABAH --- ). "THERE ARE MANY AHADITH ON THIS SUBJECT BUT FOR THE SAKE OF BREVITY ONLY A FEW HAVE BEEN QUOTED HERE. SAHIKH AHMAD SIRHINDI, IMAM RABBANI AND MAJADID ALIF THANI IN HIS BOOK "FAZAIL-E-SAHABAH" WRITES:- "ABUSING SHAIKHEEN (I.E. HADHRAT ABU BAKR AND HADHRAT UMAR) STEMS OUT OF HATRED FOR THEM AND TO HAVE HATRED FOR THEM TENTATMOUNTS TO KUFR. THE BASIS FOR THIS ASSERTION IS A HADITH OF THE PROPHET (SAW): "HE WHO HATES THEM DOES SO FROM HATRED OF MINE. HE WHO INJURES THEM HAS INJURED ME, HE WHO INJURES ME HAS INJURED ALLAH." (TIRMIDHI). IBN ASAKIR RELATES FROM THE PROPEHT (SAW) THAT HE SAID : "TO LOVE ABU BAKR AND UMAR IS (A SIGN OF) IMAN AND TO HAVE HATRED FOR THEM IS (A SIGN OF) KUFR." ABDULLAH BIN AHMAD RELATES FROM HADHRAT ANAS THAT RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) SAID: "I HOPE FOR THE SAME RECOMPENSE FOR MY UMMAH IN LOVING ABU BAKR AND UMAR AS I ENTERTAIN IN SAYING " LA-ILAHA ILL-ALLAH" ( )." THOSE WHO NOURISH ILL-FEELINGS OR ENEMITY TOWARDS THEM SHOULD GUESS FOR THEMSELVES THE CONSEQUENCES IN THE LIGHT OF ABOVE HADITH. BESIDES CALLING A MOMIN AS KAFIR BECOMES A CAUSE OF KUFR BECAUSE IT IS STATED IN AN AUTHENIC HADITH: "WHOSE LEVIED A FALSE ACCUSATION OF KUFR ON SOMEONE AND SAID THAT HE IS AN ENEMY OF ALLAH ALTHOUGH HE IS NOT SO. IF HE IS SO THEN IT IS ALRIGHT; OTHERWISE IT REVERTS ON THE ACUSER." WE KNOW IT WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT HADHRAT ABU BAKR AND HADHRAT UMAR WERE MOMINS (BELIEVERS) AND NOT THE ENEMIES OF ALLAH AND THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE GLAD TIDINGS OF PARADISE BEFOREHAND. HENCE THOE WHO ATTRIBUTE KUFR TO THEM SUCH A CHARGE OF KUFR WILL REVERT ON THEM. AND THE SAME HADITH VINDICATES THIS WITH CLARITY. AS SUCH THE CHARGE OF KUFR WILL REVERT ON THEM. AND THE SAME HADITH VINDICATES THIS WITH CLARITY. AS SUCH THE CHARGE OF KUFR WILL BE LEVELLED AGAINST THE SHIAS (PP. 39-40). THE HOLY PROPHET (SAW) IN VARIOUS AHADITH (SOME OF WHICH HAVE BEEN QUOTED ABOVE) HAVE EXTOLLED THE MERITS AND FINE QUALITIES OF THE FIRST CALIPHS (VIZ HADHRAT'S ABU BAKR, UMAR AND USMAN). AND SINCE THE PROPHET (SAW) DOES NOT SPEAK OUT OF HIS OWN ACCORD BUT HE DOES SO ONLY WHAT IS REVEALED TO HIM BY ALLAH (AL-QUR'AN, 52:32-4), IT IS ONLY LOGICAL THAT TO DISREGARD THE PROPHET (SAW) IS TO DISREGARD THE REVEALATION SENT TO HIM AS SOME OF HIS REMARKS/OBSERVATIONS RELATED TO FURTURE EVENTS. AS SUCH WHEN SHIAS REVIL THESE BELOVED SAHABAH OF THE PROPHET (SAW) THEY IN FACT DENY WAHI (THE REVELATION FROM ALLAH) AND DENIAL OF WAHI IS JUFR (INFIDELITY). THE SHIA TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE CHARGE OF KUFR LEVELLED AGAINST THEM ON THIS GROUND BY SAYING THAT EVEN DURING THE LAST DAYS OF THE PROPHET (SAW) MANY OF THE SAHABAH DISREGARDED THE COMMANDS OF THE HOLY PROPHET (SAW) AND IN TERMS OF THE QUR'ANIC VERSES QUOTED ABOVE (53:2-4) COMMITTED KUFR BY DISREGARDING WHAT THE PROPHET (SAW) HAD DEDIRED THEM TO DO. THE SHIAS EXEGGERATE AND EXPLOIT OUT OF PROPORTION THE WISH OF THE PROPHET (SAW) THAT HE EXPRESSED DURING HIS LAST DAYS WHEN HE SAID: BRING ME A PIECE OF PAPER SO THAT I MAY WRITE SOMETHING FOR YOU WHICH WILL SAVE YOU FROM GOING ASTRAY AFTER ME. HADHRAT UMAR (RA) COULD NOT COMPLY WITH THIS WISH OF THE PROPHET (SAW) AND SAID:" RASUL-ALLAH IS OVERWHELMED BY ILLNESS AND WE HAVE THE BOOK OF ALLAH WHICH IS SUFFICIENT FOR US." THE INTENTION OF HADHRAT UMAR (RA) WAS THAT IN SUCH CRITICAL ILLNESS, THE PROPHET (SAW) SHOULD NOT BE DISTURBED TO WRITE ANYTHING AS THAT COULD FURTHER AGGRAVATE HIS ILLNESS. THERE IS ANOTHER HADITH OF THE PROPHET (SAW) THAT "ACTIONS ARE JUDGED ACCORDING TO INTENTIONS: (BUKAHRI). AS SUCH HADHRAT UMAR (RA) OR OTHER SAHABAH CANNOT BE CHARGED TO HAVE DISOBEYED THE PROPHET (SAW) IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE AS THEIR INTENTIONS WERE GOOD SINCE THEY HELD THE WEAL AND WELFARE OF THE PROPHET (SAW) ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS. ABU SAID AL-KHUDRI SAID: DURING THE ILLNESS OF WHICH HE DIED ALLAH'S MESSENGER CAME OUT TO US WHEN WE WERE IN MOSQUE WITH A RAG TIED ROUND HIS HEAD AND MADE FOR THE PULPIT? WHEN HE HAD SAT ON IT HE MADE US COME NEAR AND THEN SAID : "BY HIM IN WHOSE HAND MY SOUL IS, I AM LOOKING AT THE POND (I.E. POND OF AL-KAUSR IN PARADISE) FROM THIS PLACE WHERE I AM" HE THEN SAID, "A MAN WAS OFFERED THE WORLD AND ITS ADORNMENT BUT HE CHOSE THE NEXT." ABU BAKR WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO APPRECIATED HIS MEANING, SO TEARS DROPPED FROM HIS EYES, HE WEPT AND SAID, "NO, WE SHALL RANSOM YOU WITH OUR FATHERS, OUR MOTHERS, OUR PERSONS AND OUR PROPERTY, MESSENGER OF ALLAHL." HE THEN CAME DOWN FROM THE PULPIT AND NEVER MOUNTED IT AGAIN. (DARMIL). HADHRAT UMAR (RA) HAD SUCH AN ABOUNDING LOVE FOR RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) THAT HE EVEN REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIS DEATH AFTER HIS SOUL DEPARTED TO ALLAH AND PROCLAIMED THAT IF ANYONE SAID THAT RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) HAS DIED HE WOULD BEHEAD HIM WITH HIS SWARD. HE WAS CONSOLED LATTER BY HADHRAT ABU BAKR (RA) WHO RECEITED THE QURANIC VERSE : (TRANSLATION) : "MUHAMMAD IS BUT A MESSENGER, MESSENGERS (THE LIKE OF WHOM) HAVE PASSED AWAY BEFORE HIM. WILL IT BE THAT, WHEN HE DIES OR IS SLAIN, YE WILL TURN BACK ON YOUR HEALS? HE WHO TURNS BACK DOETH NO HURT TO ALLAH, AND ALLAH WILL REWARD THE THANKFUL." (AL-QURAN 3:144). NOTES 1. SOME OF THE EXAMPLE OF TABARRA HAVE ALREADY BEEN PRESENTED IN CHAPTER 4,5,6,&7 FROM THE WRITINGS OF KHOMENI AND OTHER SHIA ALIMS AND WRITERS. IN THE POPULAR ( ) SHIA TRANSLATION & COMMENTARY OF THE QURAN IT IS STATED IN EXPOSITION OF THE VERSE THAT- REFERS TO ABU BAKR & REFERS TO UMAR BECAUSE BOTH THESE PERSONS IN APPEARANCE & CHARACTER WERE A TRUE REPLICA OF LEWDNESS & INIQUITY. (GOD FORBID). 2. SHAIKH ABDUL WAHAB IN HIS BOOK SAYS: "ANY ONE WHO LEVELLS FALSE CHARGE OF SLANDER AGAINST HAZRAT AISHA (R.A) THE CHASTE ( ), THE PURE ( ) MOTHER OF THE BELIEVERS AND BELOVED WIFE OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) IN THIS WORLD AND THE NEXT WORLD IS THE ARCH HYPOCRITE LIKE ABDULLAH BIN ABI. RASUL ALLAH (SAW) IS SAYING TO ALL AND SUNDRY: "ASSEMBLY OF MUSLIMS! WHO WILL SATISFY ME ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE AGONISED ME IN REGARD TO MY WIFE." ALMIGHTY ALLAH DECLARES IN THE HOLY QUR'AN: "AND THOSE WHO MALIGN BELIEVING MEN AND BELIEVING WOMEN (UNDESERVEDLY), THEY BEAR THE GUILT OF SLANDER AND MANIFEST SIN" (33:58). THE SHAIKH THEN FORCEFULLY CONCLUDES: "WHERE ARE THE HELPERS AND SUPPOSTERS OF DEEN WHO SHOULD SAY: O MESSENGER OF ALLAH! WE WILL TEACH A LESSON TO SUCH ARROGANT AND DISRESPECTFUL PEOPLE AND THEN POUNCE UPON THEM WITH THEIR SWORDS AND CUT THEM TO PIECES WHO BELIE ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER AND HARM THE BELIEVERS. BY SUCH GALLANT DEEDS THEY WILL OBTAIN NEARNESS TO RASUL-ALL (SAW) AND WILL BE ENTITLED TO HIS INTERCESSION. O ALLAH! WE SEEK YOUR PROTECTION AND FORGIVENESS FROM THE EVIL BEHAVIOUR AND EXCESSES OF THESE MISGUIDED PEOPLE." 3. MUDD IS ABOUT A KILO. 4. ACCORDING TO HAKIM FAIZ ALAM SIDDIQI RAJOORI, AUTHOR OF "REALITY OF SHIA RELIGION" (URDU) THIS HADITH HAS BEEN NARRATED BY ABDULLAH BIN ABBAS WHO WAS THEN ONLY A BOY OF 9-10 YEARS. HE SAYS THAT THE POINT TO PONDER IS THAT ON SUCH AN OCCASION WHEN RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) WAS CRITICALLY ILL AND SO MANY SAHABAH INCLUDING HADHRAT ALI WERE IN ATTENDENCE TO LOOK AFTER HIM, HOW IS IT THAT NO BODY ELSE EXCEPT A BOY (ALTHOUGH PRESENCE OF SMALL BOYS IN SUCH GATHERINGS OF ANXIETY AND GRIEF IS ITSELF MOST UNLIKELY, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE) HEARD THE WORDS OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) AND THE REMARKS OF HADHRAT UMAR TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER SAHABA PRESENT THERE! EVEN IF WE ADMIT FOR A WHILE THAT RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) ASKED FOR PEN AND PAPER WHAT PROOF IS THERE THAT HE WANTED TO DICTATE ABOUT THE SUCCESSION OF ALI (AS ALLEGED BY THE SHIAS) ALTHOUGH EARLIER HE HAD PASSED ORDERS THAT ABU BAKR WOULD BE THE IMAM I.E. LEAD THE PEOPLE IN CONGREGATIONAL PRAYERS. SECONDLY IF HAHDRAT UMAR HAD EXPRESSED CERTAIN RESERVATIONS IN REGARD TO THE EXPLICIT DESIRE OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) WHY DID HADHRAT ALI KEEP QUIT? IF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) HAD ORDERED FOR SOMETHING (TO BE BROUGHT) SUCH AN ORDER WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY RELATED TO ALI WHO WAS BETTER CONVERSANT WITH THE HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. IT SEEMS THAT SOME RAFIDA (SHIA) MANOVERED TO PUT THIS HADITH (NARRATED BY A BOY OF 9-10 YEARS) IN THE SUNNI MUSLIMS COLLECTION OF AHADITH AND THE MUSLIMS UMMAH STILL HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FREE ITSELF FROM THIS SEDUCTION ( ) IT MAY HOWEVER, BE EMPHASISED HERE THAT ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLES FRAMED BY MUHADITHHIN FOR DETERMINING THE AUTHENTICITY OF AHADITH, THE SO-CALLED IS NOT RELIABLE, CONCLUDES HAKIM FAIZ ALAM SIDDIQI (PP. 165-166). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
