In surah nur 24: 55 Allah says: “Allah has promised those of you who believe and do good that He will certainly make them successors in the land, as He did with those before them; and will surely establish for them their faith which He has chosen for them; and will indeed change their fear into security—˹provided that˺ they worship Me, associating nothing with Me. But whoever disbelieves after this ˹promise˺, it is they who will be the rebellious” allah promises the rulers after the demise of the prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم): 1. Rulership of the land 2. establishment of the religion 3. security and safety. abu bakr had all 3; while imam …

Salaam brothers and sisters, I am a sunni who is very interested in Shia Islam. Some things are making sense and opening my eyes however, I am stuck and even after many many conversations with my Shia friends, I still am not able to be convinced with the permissibility of calling onto the prophets and imams for help. i.e. 'Ya Ali', 'ya Fatima help me', 'ya Muhammad help me', 'Ya imam rescue me' etc.. I just don't feel safe and at peace calling onto anyone but Allah. Is Allah not enough for us? Many times in the Quran it says only call to Allah. He is closer than your jugular vein. In Fatiha 'you alone to we worship and see help'. So why insist on saying ya Ali? Isn't sayi…

Salam Aleykom! I am new to this forum so I hope I've chosen the right forum for this question. My friend's brother who is Sunni and I were talking where he told me that he had a "Shiabook" where there was a hadith stating that Prophet Muhammad (saw) said that Imam Ali (a.s) is like Surat Qul Hu Allahu Ahad in the Qur’an, therefore he said that the hadith is stating that Imam Ali (a.s.) is like Allah swt (Stagfurallah). However when I searched for the hadith, I found that one of the sources was "Muslim", one of Sunni's most authentic hadith collections. Anyone who knows if this really is included in Muslim because I can't find anything, also are the other sources…

MALM put out a video and a statement defending muwayah and claiming he was more politically equipt than the imam (عليه السلام), this is actually an arguement always put forth by sunnis; that the state of the muslim state; it's expansion, economy, military, construction and prosperity was at a high during the time of abu bakr, umar, uthman and muwayah while it was at it's lowest during the time of imam ali (عليه السلام). Thoughts on this?

Salam. Recently I was surprised to know this is taught in schools of Pakistan. smh I have been combing my memory and could not recall I have read about a single war in which Umar actually fought and did not run, except no fighting took place (Fatah Mecca) or that he fled or did not take part (Badr). A child was telling me how Umar was so brave that while everyone else secretly did hijrat to Medina, he did it after announcement. I asked the child "then he was braver than the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) ?". Anyway, the question. Notice I have not even asked about any enemy casualty at his hands. If you know of an account where he fought anything, please…

Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters. I have another question and I’ll be honest it bothered me a lot when I heard this. I wasn’t aware that there are paths in Islam who believe this, but maybe there is a reasonable explanation that I’m not aware of. I’ve heard that shia’s believe that it is haraam for a person born from zina to lead the Salah. Is this true? And why? I apologise and don’t mean to be so blunt with the question but it just sounds very unfair and unlike something Allah would make as a ruling. I can’t imagine Rasoolallah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) or the Ahlulbayt (عليه السلام) saying this. The child surely can’t be blamed or disadvantaged for…

Salam Everyone! InshAllah ur doing well in these hard times. Happy Rajab! I saw this and I was shocked. Why do they make fun of us and insult us for doing Ziyarah of Imam Al Husayn (عليه السلام) because its "ghuluw" but supposedly Allah does Ziyarah Ahmed Ibn Hanbel!!??

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.

Subhanallah. Allah listened to my prayers. After filing a report with GoDaddy, the anti Shia fatwa on IslamQA.info has finally been removed for promoting hate speech and violence. This is for everyone who wanted me to stop talking about it.

Is it sihr? Did Sulayman (عليه السلام) have a ring through which he summoned jinn / practiced magic? This seems to be a sufi/ Shia (references the Imams (عليه السلام)) website selling something similar: https://www.boutiqueottoman.com/product/seal-of-solomon-red-aqeeq-ring/?utm_source=Google Shopping&utm_campaign=Google Merchant Feed&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=106114

In the name of Allah. I need to share this. So maybe discuss this subject and enlighten us. I remember when I was an introvert teenager. I would go the the mosque (in a sunni-sufi majority city with few alevis in Turkey) because my father -May Allah have mercy on his soul- was a sufi and had taught and recommended that I did. Unfortunately I was not present in the morning prayers for congregation though. Anyway, there were not more than ten people in the mosque during the five daily prayers. All of the attenders were above fifty. They wouldn't like to see children there in the summer holidays because it was as if they disturbed their peace! But I was well behave…

See 37:39 in this video, he says the Imams like Imam Jaffer (عليه السلام) taught Shiism, yet still chooses to follow Imam Malik who he says did not narrate from Imam Jaffer because he knew he was Shia, he also claims most of our perspective on the holy Imams ((عليه السلام)) is correct (unlike other Sunni scholars who say most of it is fabricated). This should raise many question as to why he chooses to follow Imam Malik over the Imams ((عليه السلام)): He seems to oppose how some shias want to bring their children up with a very black and white view of history (good guy vs bad guy), where they hate and curse muawiya and say that the Prophet (صلى الله …

If you believe eating at a McDonald's in Israel is halal, but buying from a tiny struggling halal meat market run by Shia Muslims somewhere in Qatif is haram, then you should just move to Israel and let real Muslims live in Arabia in peace. Also, I see some of the same "Shia kafir" type of people from Saudi in Michigan, eating at famous halal burger joints in Dearborn on social media, going all "Wow, #Representin", ironically, the reason there's so many Shia burger places in Dearborn is because their ancestors were escaping Sunni terrorists. They should put up a sign saying if you believe in the IslamQA fatwa you're not welcome but that would greatly hurt sale…

Assalamualaikum, I hope you and your loved ones are all well and keeping safe during these difficult times. I have posted some questions before and I apologise if you keep seeing my name with new questions but I don't know many Shias to ask and I feel this is a good place to ask my many questions. I am aware that the Shia school of thought believe that the imams are higher than the prophets. I have heard the explanation as to why and respect the reasons and evidence given. However, a verse that is often brought up is this verse below about Ibrahim (عليه السلام) becoming and Imam: “And when his Lord tried Ibrahim with commands, he fulfilled them. He …

In the name of Allah. Salatut Tasbih (the Prayer of Praise) is one of the mostahab / recommended prayers in Islam. Sunni and Sufi Muslims perform this prayer whenever they want and it is a custom for Sunni Muslims to perform it on special nights such as the Qadr Night. Sunnis believe it is a special prayer that one must perform at least once in a lifetime. In Turkey for example, on some special nights, the relics of the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) such as Sakal-ı Şerif (Beard of Prophet Muhammad) are brought in a glass reliquary to a specific mosque in a city. People gather there and pray Salatut Tasbih and make tabarruk on the beard of the P…

This question is primarily for the Shi'a. I was wondering about this because it is quite paradoxical when they make claims towards the Ahlul Sunnah of saying Allah is an anthropomorphic being. If you say it is metaphorical, this is problematic because this means that Allah does not hear nor see whatsoever [as a metaphor is a representative of something that is not literal, and in this case, the sight and hearing of Allah]. This also contradicts his name al-Hayy, which entails that He is living and has the qualities of living things, albeit not limited nor comparable whatsoever. So my question is to the Shi'a: How does Allah see and hear?

SalamAlaykum brothers and sisters In shaa Allah you are all doing well This is something that has been bothering me for a long time really but never got the opportunity to ask it on this forum. What is the Shia Ithna Ashari view towards the reaction of the Prophet encountering Angel Jibareel (a.s) in the Mount Hira when the first Chapter of the Quran was revealed onto him. (Surah AL Alaq) From what I can remember, the Sunni explains that the Prophet was scared with the encounter of the Angel and wasn't sure what to read when the Angel mentioned IQRA We as Shia Muslim believe that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was a Prophet before he was actually b…

After the martyrdom if Imam Ali (عليه السلام) why did Imam Hassan (عليه السلام) needed to state his virtues to the people of Kufa in order to be elected. Did Imam Ali (عليه السلام) not choose him as his successor? If so why did Imam Hassan need to appeal his case as the successor if it was evident he was the chosen successor. Why did imam Hassan appeal to the the system of shura ?

Throughout history, the Sunni scholars have remained hell-bent on including the Zakat conflict in the same category as of the battles fought against the false prophets and their followers. Leave those who are ignorant of the fact that the conflict did not arise only because of denial of the obligation to pay Zakat, but those scholars who know that it also stemmed from refusal to pay Zakat to Abu Bakr, even they include it in the riddah battles. The 100,000 strong congregation of Hajjis among whom the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). held up Ali's (عليه السلام). hand on the day of Ghadir declaring him to be their mawla two months before his death (صلى الله عليه وآله…

I came across this Hadith in Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Hadith no 25914) and it’s graded Sahih according to the conditions of both Bukhari and Muslim: Rough English translation- Aisha said: “the prophet was sick and came out with one arm on Fadhl Ibn Abbas and the other on another man. Ubaidullah said that Ibn Abbas told them: “Do you know the other man that Aisha didn’t name? It was Ali but Aisha doesn’t like mentioning him” This proves Aisha’s hatred towards Imam Ali as she can’t even stand mentioning his name Can a Sunni please explain?
