Zaydi Shiapard

Doesn't make sense for me to remind you again and again that in Ayat al-Ghar the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) says "Don't grieve, Allah is with us" because of what he knew of Abu Bakr till then, but then Allah expresses His being with only with His Prophet when He mentions about His sakeenah and His invisible forces. As for the honour you are talking about, then remember that the grand hypocrite Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul was buried wrapped in the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) shirt on his son's insistence; when enquired, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) replied "My shirt can not save him from hellfire".

Worth a watch: It is important to note the context in which Ayat al-Ghar comes. Allah reprimands demoralized Muslims fearful of the Byzantines, telling them that if they dont support the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) then Allah will support him through others, like when he (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was in the cave with a demoralized companion fearful of the pagans, Allah supported His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) through invisible forces. (Read Surah at-Tawbah: 38-40)

By showing such differences between the words used by His slaves and by Himself, Allah wants us to realize His wisdom and His knowledge of everything.

Looks like you didn't get at all what i said dear brother. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) took him with him and said "Allah is with us" because of the good he had seen in him in his past and present; he didn't know then what he was going to do in the future, but Allah knew, so when Allah talked about His help, His forces and sakeenah He didn't include Abu Bakr with the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) (read in the ayah : He helped him.... He descended His sakeenah on him... He assisted him with forces you couldn't see). And when it came to Abu Bakr's future and particularly the Hereafter, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) refused to testify for him as ive quoted from Muwatta Malik.

Wa'alaykumussalam. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said "us" because of what he knew of Abu Bakr's past and present, and Allah said "him" (not them, meaning only the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) because of what He knew of Abu Bakr's future. It is similar to that when Allah mentioned the prayer of Ibrahim (عليه السلام) for the last Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) the sequence was - "he may read to them Your signs, teach them the Book and the wisdom and purify them", but when Allah Himself described the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) with these attributes, the sequence became - "he reads to them His signs, purifies them and teaches them the Book and the wisdom" (indicative of the Meccan period followed by the Medinese period). It is noteworthy that when the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) testified for the martyrs of Uhud, Abu Bakr asked that won't he and others be testified for too as they too migrated, spent and fought in Allah's way, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) refused saying: "No, because I don't know what you will do after me". (Muwatta Malik)

The Arab tyrants and the Zionists are very well on their way to merge their ranks against the forces of Imam Mahdi (عليه السلام): zarqawi.docx imposter.pdf nsr.pdf

After studying narrations (sound, weak & fabricated) & positions for & against Mother Aisha then doing istikharah, Allah granted me sakeenah on the following conclusions: 1. Allah established the permanence of her chastity when He said: Allah forbids you from it and warns you not to repeat the like of it forever, if you are believers. (24:17) It indicated that there would be slanders against her chastity in the future too. So Allah has exonerated her in such matters forever. 2. Surah at-Tahrim indicated that she had the weakness of lying when it came to rivalries, even if it meant lying about the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). and to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). e.g. When Asma Bint Nu’man was being led as a bride to her groom (i.e., the Prophet), Aisha told her that the Prophet was highly pleased with the woman who, when he approaches her, says to him: "May Allah save me from you." (which led to her being divorced) Sunni references: • al-Mustadrak, by al-Hakim, v4, p37, on the account of Asma • al-Isabah, by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, v4, p233 • al-Tabaqat, by Ibn Sa’d, v2, p104, v8, p145 • Tarikh al-Ya’qubi, v2, p69 Similarly she made up narrations to support her father's claim to caliphate and to discredit Imam Ali' s claim. She did dislike Imam Ali (عليه السلام). till the battle of Jamal. 3. The kindness, respect and fair treatment she received from Imam Ali (عليه السلام). after the battle of Jamal changed her heart. In a narration, when she was asked about the most beloved woman and man to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)., she replied "Fatimah (عليه السلام)..... Ali (عليه السلام). who fasted a lot and kept his nights alive with prayers." (Hakim) She also narrated the true tafsir of ayat at-Tat'hir in favour of Ali, Fatimah, Hasan and Husayn. As for a narration claiming her preventing Imam Hasan (عليه السلام)'s burial near the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). while she came riding a mule along with Umayyads, it is contradicted by another narration which reports Imam Hasan (عليه السلام). telling Imam Husayn (عليه السلام). while on his deathbed to seek permission from mother Aisha for him to be allowed to be buried in her room near the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)., and even after her permission if someone creates mischief then leave it. Imam Husayn sought her permission which she granted, but then Imam Husayn and his followers were prevented by Umayyads led by Marwan from burying Imam Hasan near the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).. Imam Husayn and his followers unsheathed their swords, but then he was reminded by someone of Imam Hasan' s will about someone creating mischief, so they left. And as reported by Masrooq, whenever Mother Aisha came upon the ayah telling the Prophet' s wives to stay in their houses, it reminded her of leaving her house before the battle of Jamal, she used to cry a lot then so much so that her headscarf would get wet with tears. 4. Narrations report Imam Ali' s ordering to lash a man who was insulting Mother Aisha after the battle of Jamal. It indicates that even at that time there were some among us the who were not abiding by Imam Ali' s conduct regarding Mother Aisha. 5. When Ammar ibn Yasir, a standard bearer of the Truth, came to Kufah (or Basra) to invite the people to support Imam Ali before the battle of Jamal, he said: "Aisha has set out from Makkah for Basra, and she indeed is the wife of your Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) in this world and the hereafter, but Allah is testing you through her that whether you will obey her or obey Him (by obeying Imam Ali). She did commit major sins by lying and rebelling, but repented later on after the battle of Jamal (just like her lying, surah at-Tahrim also indicated her repenting in ayah 4 & 8). Allah is the most-forgiving. May Allah forgive her.

A hadith says that reciting surah Yasin in the morning gets the needs fulfilled. It works for dream interpretations too. So recite surah Yasin in the morning and sincerely ask Allah to tell you by its virtue the meaning of the dream. Then await the signs of Allah through which He will explain, He will make you realize whenever the answer comes. One way is to randomly open the Qur'an for getting the answer after you have recited Yasin and made dua to Allah. Allah knows best.

Imam Mahdi (عليه السلام) will avenge Imam Husayn (عليه السلام) by filling the earth with justice and equity (husayniyyah) just as it had been filled with tyranny and oppression (yazidiyyah) before. The upholders of Yazid's tyrannical policies still occupy the Islamic heartlands.

A hadith from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) says that reciting surah Yasin in the first part of the day (i.e. between fajr and the noon) gets the needs fulfilled. I myself have experienced it many many times and it has had a great role in my being guided to Shiism. Alhamdu lillah.

Hudhaifa Revealed Aboo Moosa Al-Ash’ari Was One Of The Hypocrites! Al-Dhahabi: Narrated Al-A’mash from Shaqiq who said: We were sitting beside Hudhayfah and Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud) and Aboo Moosa (Al-Ash’ari) entered the mosque, Hudhaifa said: 'One of these two is a Munafiq', then he continue to say: 'The most similar people to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) in his character, his actions and manner is Abdullah. (i.e. Aboo Musa is the Munafiq). Footnote: the narrators of this narration are trustworthy, and this narration is narrated in Al-Ma’rifa wa Al-Tarikh of Al-Fasawi. Source: Siyar A'lam Al-Nubala.Vol. 2, Pg. # 393 - 394. In order to justify this narration, Al-Dhahabi has offered the excuse that Al-A’mash is regarded as a weak narrator and that he was accused of being a Shi'ee. Then he later adds extreme Shi'ites do not like Aboo Moosa Al-Ashari because he did not participate in any battles that Imam Alee ((عليه السلام)) fought in and as a result, disposed Imam Alee ((عليه السلام)) in the occasion of governorship. Shu'aib al-Arnaut also contributes to the footnote by tryingto justify that Hudhayfah was in an angry state hence why he accused Aboo Moosa as being a hypocrite. It is clear from the ample evidence that the defenses offered by the opponents is based on nothing but speculation in order to cover the crimes of the companions!

Mostly a person wishes that what he believes in should turn out to be the truth. When I was a staunch Salafi, many Shia arguments used to bewilder and disturb me making me look out for rebuttals crazily on anti-Shia sites. In the Shia vs Sunni case, the narrators and narrations explicitly supporting the other's narrative of Islam are rejected as unreliable by either. In such a case the Qur'anic formula is: تعالوا إلى كلمة سواء بيننا وبينكم "come to a word common between us and you" (3:64) When we look at the events and narrations which are agreed upon by both the Sunnis and the Shia to be true, it can be easily noticed that just as the Jews and the Christians tried to misinterpret the biblical prophecies about the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) all which clearly seem to be bound together by a common logical thread, the same way the Sunnis try hard to scatter with different misinterpretations all of those agreed upon narrations which clealry seem to be bound together by the common logical thread of Wilayat Ali (عليه السلام) : 1. The hadith of Manzilat Harun (عليه السلام). 2. The hadith of the Ghadir declaration 3. The hadith of Thaqalayn 4. The hadith of the bird 5. The hadith of Khaybar 6. The announcement of banning the idolaters from Hajj 7. The hadith of the twelve successors etc. A simple question: What should I understand when I as a new Muslim among tens of thousands of new Muslims near Ghadir Khumm see my Prophet announcing to us "Of whom I am Mawla (shia: master/sunni:friend) Ali is his Mawla, and he is this man" while holding Ali's (عليه السلام) hand high? And two months later my Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) passes away. This gesture of the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) holding high Ali's (عليه السلام) hand while introducing him to 90,000+ new Muslims as their Mawla speaks volumes! If it was only to warn them that they don't fight him 25 years later in the battle of Siffin, and if Abu Bakr was truly a legitimate caliph, then such a declaration would have been more appropriate for Abu Bakr who was fought against few months after the Ghadir event, not only by apostates but also by thousands of those Hajjis who witnessed the Ghadir declaration and thus refused to pay Zakah to Abu Bakr after the Saqifah coup.

Abu ad-Darda (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: "You are given provisions and victories by the virtue of the weak among you." (Bukhari, Nasai) Allah's promise in an-Nur:55 came into effect by the virtue of the politically weak and suppressed Ahl al-Bayt (عليه السلام), not the tyrannical caliphs.

I had recently converted from Sunnism to Zaydism when i joined shiachat (now im a Twelver), and i love snow leopards, n thus shia+pard.
