Assalamualaikum. In tashahhud, I recite: “Ashadu an la ilaha illAllahu wahdahulah sharika la Wa ashadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh Wa ashadu anna Amirul Momineen Aliyun Waliuhu wa hujjatuh Allahumma salli ala Muhammadinw wa ali Muhammad” I have seen on YouTube that the Imams would recite Aliyun WaliUllah in tashahhud but inshallah can someone get me more evidence? Wassalam.

Salam, I came upon something while reading a discussion online. Someone said: " nothing would bring me more joy then to stop hearing “Ali (رضي الله عنه) Wali Allah” in the adhan. Shiekh Sadouk (رضي الله عنه). (who was appointed by Imam Mahdi) had an entire khutbah slamming the practice as bidah and ended it with envoking Allahs curse on the ones who started it. Not a single Imam did it in the Adthan/Iqma. People who say it is mustahab are either ignorant or stretching the truth. Yes it is mustahab to say on its own, but not when mixed with the adthan and Iqma." Anyone know about this sheikh sadouk and if the claim is true? I am honestly clueless about this.

The below video says Ibn Arabi referred to himself as Khatm ul Awliya (The Seal of The [Muhammadan] Saints). Does this concept exist in Shi’a or Sunni Islam? Can anyone other than Imam Mahdi (عجّل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف) inherit from the knowledge of Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)? I have heard Ibn Arabi believed in Imam Mahdi (عجّل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف). In William Chittick’s book Ibn 'Arabi: Heir to the Prophets (1943), he describes the concept as follows: I know some very controversial and daring comments are attributed to Ibn Arabi. Regardless, I hope everyone sticks to the topic and focuses on the question rather than calling him “Sheikh…

Assalamu aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh brothers and sisters a Sunni told me that Imam Hassan al Askari (عليه السلام) never had a son because Hazrat Narjis (a) never existed. He said it's a fabrication, because of a chain/narrators problem that we have. Is that true that there is a chain/narrators problem? Or do we have Sahih Hadith about the existence of Hazrat Narjis (a)? Thank you and May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) bless you.

Salam Everyone, I had a discussion a couple days ago about Shia/Sunni faith where a brother stated: "In the history of Islam, not a SINGLE Islamic figure (Prophet, Messenger, etc.) was appointed by a democracy, let alone appointed by people, for them and their successors. Our Sunni brothers, until this day, now believe that the Prophet Muhammad's SAWS successor can be appointed by a group of people, who were even once IDOL WORSHIPPERS (Abu Bakr, etc.)." Now, I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is, how in the world can Sunni's still believe that. If the above statement is true, then the entire basis of the Sunni faith is literally destroyed. Can s…

Assalamu aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh brothers and sisters I read that we Shia believe that the family of prophet Muhammad ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) were monotheistic. the name of Abu Talib (عليه السلام) and a great grandfather of prophet Muhammad was abd Manaf. https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2475244 the meaning of the name Abd Manaf is servant of Manaf", Manaf being one of the pre-Islamic polytheistic gods. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abd_Manaf_(name). I know that Manaf means great too. So maybe it means the servant of High too. We Muslims are not allowed to take the name abd Manaf because it was the name of a deity, but why familymembers like Abu …

Assalamu aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh I read sometimes that the meaning of the name Muawiya means barking and we all know the bad things he did, but a Sunni told me that if that's true, then why the grandson of jafar ibn Abi Talib had the name Muawiya too? Is that true and How is that possible?

Well, I've been thinking about this a little bit. Shia-Sunni relations aren't the best right now, but on the other hand, Shia-Sunni marriages aren't uncommon either in places like Iraq and Lebanon. I've been talking to a sunni girl and we're really getting along well together, to the point of seriously discussing marriage. But one topic I haven't been willing to discuss a lot is the issue of how to raise the children, which I feel is a bit touchy subject. Considering I'm shia and she's sunni, I don't feel comfortable raising the children completely either way. Ideally, I'd like for my children to experience and learn both sunni and shia, and then let them decide them…

Shi'a call Sunnis Nawasib despite Sunnis having profound respect for Ahlul Bayt and especially Imam Ali KW. It is an explicit Sunni teaching to show love for Ahl Al Bayt and also this has legal manifestations - preferring to free them over other slaves, Kaafah, lesser tazir punishments, Khums etc. Shia and Sunni prefer/give leadership to Ahlul Bayt over others in some way - Sunnis prefer Quraysh for Khulafa and Shia mandate the 12 Imams (who Sunnis respect though they don't say the last existed back then.) Both groups await the Mahdi (future ruler from Ahl Al Bayt) and both are opposed to and hate those Khawarij who fought Imam Ali KW. On the other hand, the real Naw…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, My Husband is from Sunni fiqah and has near to zero knowledge on Shiaism and now with passing time, he asks me really basic questions and he wants to know about Shia Fiqh and the history of the same. Frankly he doesn't even know much about sunni fiqh and hence easier for me to make him understand the true essence of Islami i.e. shiaism. From where should i start? what should be my basis. Lets keep it really simple as i really want him to understand the essence of Islam and keep the sweetness of our relationship intact. there are few things which are in my mind which i think should be a good start: When Rasool Pak Muhammad (صلى ا…

No grounds in Shi'a Islam? 1 2
by Guest Wayfaring Problem- 3 followers

Why are the Shi'a not able to ground any of their claims with regards to Islam? As an outsider, it is very odd to see that these people claim to follow people whom are put on such a pedestal, but they are doing the complete opposite of them. An example of this is cursing - this is what is considered innovation, which is reprehensible and the repentance of one who innovates is not accepted (correct me if I'm wrong). Ali ibn Abi Talib, Fatimah, Ibn Abbas, Hassan, Hussein, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, etc. and none of them cursed the revered Sunni figures of Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman, Aisha, Hafsa, and the likes of them. This is one of many things I have an issue with. This is ve…

Assalamu aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. I know about this verse. And when Abraham was tested by his Lord with certain commands and he fulfilled them. Then He said: Lo! I appoint you an Imam for mankind.”(Qur’an 2:124). it seems imams are higher than most prophets, but I doubt because of these verses below and also because of the different opinions of our scholars. Can you explain these verses below? 83. "And such was Our argument which We gave to Abraham against his people. We raise up in degrees whom We please; verily your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing." 84. "And We bestowed upon him (Abraham) (issues like) Isac and Jacob, each one We guided;…

as-salaamu alaikum, I have been flirting with Zaidi shia since a old high school friend of mine (a revert also) started telling me about the path. I purchased 'The Establishment of Clear Exposition: A Commentary On Al-Hadi's "The Fundamentals of the Religion"' by The Imam Rassi Society. This book is a good introduction to the aqidah of the Zaidi. I must say there are many concepts I do like of the Zaidi over these months of studying. Anyways to get to my question. I have noticed that Zaidi's do indeed accept infalibility of the '5' alaihum salam, but they do not accept infalibility after that. When it comes to Prophets (alaihum salam) they believe that they ar…

4:59-Those who hold Authority
by Guest Raynor- 1 reply
- 188 views
Salam Something odd takes place in the minds of people with respect to 4:59. Not only is it taken out of context of how Quran discussed authority through out it's text, the mini-context is treated as if it doesn't exist. (1) Before 4:59, there is a comparison done between family of Abraham and the envied humans (4:54), it is emphasized the household of Abraham have been a great authority (4:54). (2) Contrast is also done between religious authority claimed by Christian and Jewish clergy vs that of given by God to the household of Ibrahim. (3)Faith and disbelief is emphasized with respect to this envy and dialogue of true authority as well reward of paradise an…

A Sunni just sends me this post and I don't the answer for this one. see his post below. so tell me how many of ur imams ruled? Ur all explanation will go in gains. Because the only person who hardly rule was imam ali. Imam hussan gave bayah to muawiya the so called u call the killer of ammar. Not just that rest of ur imams lived under taqiya. None of them rules. Now looking at Sunni. We find any bar ruled umer ruled Uthman ruled Ali ruled and muawiya ruled. May Allah have mercy upon them all. While ur imams went against the Quran hidd under taqiya and none of them rule…

On a very serious note, Sunni brothers really need to check the works Im posting in the comments below. These works identify SUFYANI I, predict the rise of SUFYANI II in this decade and more importantly notify the already over first coming of DAJJAL and warn against the more dangerous second coming of DAJJAL masquerading as Mahdi, ALL FROM SUNNI PROPHECIES ONLY. More than just theories, most of the matter in these works consists of almost ascertained facts, fulfilled prophecies and prophecies very close to being fulfilled.

Alsalamualaykum my brothers and sisters, First time poster here I’ve been searching about this topic for days now with no luck of finding the answer. So in Sunni islam there’s a prophecy that has been mentioned in multiple ahadith of their books. It is mentioned that a group of black Abyssinian man known as Dhul-suwayqatayn will emerge at the very end of time to destroy the kaba, isa(عليه السلام) will try to stop them by sending his army to fight him but Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) will send a strong wind that will kill all the believers and leave only the disbelievers to live on earth. Sources here: “Leave the ahbash(abyssinians) alone so long as they d…

I don't think marriage is about making a checklist and splitting tasks. You simply work together to do what you need to do. Whether that means working, cooking, cleaning or all three shouldn't really matter.

For us, the Qur'an and the sunnah are the reference. If the prophet ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) says I leave behind the Quran and the Ahlulbayt, then we follow them, we don't ask why there isn't a surah about it or why Imam Ali (عليه السلام) didn't write it in a letter.

Curiously the salah and all its details from sunnah. The question is when did Ali ra say it HIMSELF!!! I’ve realised this question as well as any evidence of clear divine Imamate from Quran is a never straight forward answereable question instead look at the reply by a brother above……..instead of using the Quran as criterion he uses an ambiguous hadith and is trying his best to correlate it with a Quranic verse. This is why our shia brothers have a hard time debating a Sunni. Honestly you need to overcome this if you are gonna stand up to answering questions relating to divine leadership. -

Salaam, As brother @Mahdavist mentionned, the sermon of Shiqshiqiyyah clearly shows that Imam Ali (عليه السلام) said that : "my position in relation to it (the caliphate) was the same as the position of the axis in relation to the hand-mill." and "I watched the plundering of my inheritance till the first one went his way but handed over the Caliphate to Ibn al-Khattab after himself." Also in sermon 172 (during the Consultative Committee, after the death of the 2nd caliph) he says: Someone said to me, "O' son of Abi Talib, you are eager for the caliphate." Then I told him: "Rather, you are, by Allah, more greedy, although more remote, while I am more suited as well as nearer. I have demanded it as my right, while you are intervening between me and it, and you are turning my face from it." That's curious, I also don't see any explicit Qur'anic verse where the numbers of rak'as are mentionned, yet it's universally accepted that it's 2, 4, 4, 3 and 4. I wonder where we got those numbers from... Oh, that's right, from the hadiths ! Likewise, the hadiths tell us that certain Qur'anic verses state the Imam Ali (عليه السلام) should be obeyed, and the famous verse: الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا is a reference to Ghadeer, where the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) announced that Imam Ali (عليه السلام) was the mawla of every Muslim, so every Muslim should obey him after the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) passes away.
