Hasani Samnani 104 Report post Posted September 4, 2018 Salam Alaikum Ya zamabala, I am afraid Brother Zamabala, you are judging Shiasm based on the Shia practitioners, that is indeed a very poor way to judge a belief system, and is serving to discourage you. The fact that you accept the Imamate of Hazrat Ali is encouraging, since Allah in his grace and infinite mercy, has led you toward the right path. Now if you have studied the Path of Imam Ali ( AS) you know that the Deen of Ali and His brother/teacher Muhammad (SAWS) was vary broad and all encompassing. From this deen comes Zaydism ( a more strict orthodox militant form of Shiism which encouraged active rebellion and fighting), the deep profound spirituality of the Arifeen like Abu Dar and Sulaiman Farsi and along a similar vein the various Sufi Tariqa all come from the deep well of knowledge that was Imam Ali. There are those who consider Ali a form of the GOD HEAD and have gone into kufr for their love of him, and wahabis and salafis who have gone into kufr by rejecting him. You are required to find the middle path, and if you have training in Buddhism you will understand this, and the you will also understand that similar to Budhhas first noble truth, the followers of Ali also belief that desire( worldly) is the source of all pain and and misery. Have you had a chance to read Nahjul Balagha, this will help direct your beliefs. From their go to Al-islam.org for other books that will help deepen your knowledge base. Now Most of us Ithna Ashari would find your more strident beliefs very austere , but that is more along the path of Abu Dharr, who isolated himself because he was disgusted with the hypocrisy of muslims and their rulers. We have evolved into a more libertarian ( not really the best term) but more direct very personalized relationship with Allah based on our eeman and our niyat. The concept of niyat is most developed in the Shia, where the actions and beliefs are important but what is in the heart is paramount. Shaytan was a faithful follower for thousands of years but his heart and his niyat were not pure, and Allah knew this and brought out this pride. Be very careful my friend, you have studied much and gained much knowledge, but know that sign of the highest knowledge is more humility, as shown by Imam Ali and his progeny. I am confident that you will find your way to true Shiasm, you are on a difficult path, dont give up , maybe even a more pure and higher form of the deen awaits you, even more than many of the community here, but it will require more knowledge and more humility. Wa salaaam 3 Muslim2010, Zulfiqar1472 and Ashvazdanghe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no arrogance, but it is my job to be in front, to be an example and a teaching to everyone; If not me, who else will do?! You all should be like I am! The world is so much disastrous, because most people are playing about religion and trying to be "humble", instead of being compelling; Those advising me "to be humble" have no clue what they are talking. I am the teacher and boss, I will tell you about humbleness, when it will be appropriate. Please re read your statements, this may not be arrogance but there is a dangerous amount of pride here. Read about Imam Ali and his description of Shaytan's pride which stemmed from his belief that he was the most pious and knowledgeable. Only Allah can make you a teacher and boss , and he is the compeller, submit yourself fully and fearfully to his great might. Otherwise this sin is what Allah is always quick to shown as your weakness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
