SHIA SHAHADAH رضئ هللا ) is the Apostle of Allah; Ali (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) There is no god but Allah, Mohammad and (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) is the Friend of Allah; the successor of the Apostle of Allah (تعالی عنہ his first Caliph. was the (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) The above Shahadah implies that one has to believe that Hadhrat Ali .and the first rightful Caliph of Islam (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) successor of Prophet Mohammad This way one has to deny the Caliphate of three rightful Caliphs of Islam as wrong. The Shia were wrong doers (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہم اجمعين) Shahadah also implies that the three rightful Caliphs (Nauzubillahi). The famous Shia Imam Khomeini, in his book 'Kashful Asrar' (pages 119-20) has written the following. QUOTE - 'From the examples, I (Khomeini) have given, it shows that the had acted against the Quran. For (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہم) Shaikhs Abu Bakr and Umar these people to behave in such a manner among Muslims was not surprising. The Muslims (Sahaba) were also in such a state that they were either part of the same or they had similar intentions of (رضئ ہللا تعالی عنہم - group (Abu Bakr and Umar becoming the government in power. رضئ ہللا تعالی - If they (the Muslims) did not side with them (Abu Bakr and Umar then it was certain that they did not have the courage to speak out against (عنہم and his (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) those who behaved badly towards Rasulullah .(رضئ هللا تعالی عنہا - beloved daughter (Fathima In short, even if mention was made in the Quran in clear words on this matter (the as Caliph), they would not have - رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ - succession of Hadhrat Ali they would ( َع َّز َو َج َّل ) changed their intentions, and even at the Command of Allah not have given up the seat (of Government).UNQUOTE. Ask any Ahle Sunnah Mufti about the above beliefs, he will say that whoever and other Sahabah were (رضئ ہللا تعالی عنہم) believes that Khulfa-e-Rashideen 4 wrong doers and denounces them in such a derogatory language, he will be treated as out of Islam. (2) Shias claim that since the word "Shia" is mentioned in Quran, therefore they are the rightful Muslims. We have described this issue briefly below in the light of Quran and Ahadith. Verily among those who followed his Way] َوإِ َّن ِمن ِشيعَتِ ِه َ َِل ْب َرا ِهي َم - i) It is in Quran) (As-Saaffat - 83) [.(عليه السﻻم) was Abraham (عليه السﻻم - Noah) In the above verse, the word 'Shiatihi' has been used in the meaning of 'follower'. َودَ َخ َل ا ْل َم ِدينَ َة َع َل ٰى ِحي ِن َغ ْف َل ٍة ِِّم ْن أَ ْه ِل َها َف َو َجدَ فِي َها َر ُج َل ْي ِن يَ ْقتَتِ َﻻ ِن َه ٰـذَا ِمن ِشيعَتِ ِه - ii) It is in Quran) And he ] ۖ َو َه ٰـذَا ِم ْن َعدُ ِِّو ِه ۖ َفا ْستَغَاثَهُ ا َّل ِذي ِمن ِشي َعتِ ِه َع َلى ا َّل ِذي ِم ْن َعدُ ِِّو ِه َف َو َك َزهُ ُمو َس ٰى َف َق َض ٰى َع َل ْي ِه : entered the city at a time when its people were not watching (عليه السﻻم - Musa) and the ( ِشيعَتِ ِه ) ,and he found there, two men fighting - one of his own religion appealed to him against ( ِشي َعتِ ِه ) other, of his foes. Now the man of his own religion .struck him with his fist and made an end of him (عليه السﻻم) his foe, and Musa (Al-Qasas - 15) In the above verse, the word 'Shiatihi' has been used in the meaning of 'follower'. إِ َّن ا َّل ِذي َن َف َّرقُوا ِدينَ ُه ْم َو َكا ُنوا ِشيَعًا َّل ْس َت ِم ْن ُه ْم فِي َش ْي ٍء ۖإِ َّن َما أ َ ْم ُر ُه ْم إِ َلى ََّّللاِ ثُ َّم - iii) It is in Quran) Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into ] يُنَ ِِّبئُ ُهم بِ َما َكانُوا يَ ْفعَلُو َن have no concern with them in (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم - you (O' Prophet ,( ِش َيعًا) sects Who then will tell them what they ,( َع َّز َو َج َّل ) the least. Their affair is with Allah used to do.] (An-Aam - 159) In the above verse, the word 'Shia-an' has been used in the meaning of 'Sect, Group'. Thus, the word 'Shia' in Quran refers to ' Group of followers' or 'a sect'. We do not know of any Quranic verse in which the word 'Shia' has been used for Muslim Ummah. رضئ هللا ) said to Ali (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) It is in Hadith - Prophet Mohammad Glad tiding O' Ali! Verily you and your companions and your" :(تعالی عنہ followers (shiatu) will be in Paradise." The above Hadith is mentioned in (1) Fadha'il as-Sahaba, by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, V2, p-655, (2) Hilyatul Awliyaa, by Abu Nu'aym, V-4, p-329, (3) Tarikh, by al- Khateeb al-Baghdadi, V-12, P-289, (4) Al-Awsat, by Tabarani, (5) Majma' al- Zawa'id, by Haythami, V-10, pages 21-22 (6) Darqunti, said that this tradition has been transmitted via numerous authorities. (7) Al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah, by Ibn Hajar Haythami , Ch. 11, section 1, p247 . 5 رضئ ہللا ) and other 3 Khulfa-e-Rashideen (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) Indeed, the followers of Hadhrat Ali ,are the people who can expect to get salvation in Hereafter. This is the reason (اجمعين تعالی عنہم صلى هللا ) this group is known as Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'a; the followers of Prophet Mohammad and His Jama'at of Khulfa-e-Rashideen, ie., Abu Bakr, Umar, Othaman and (عليه و آله وسلم .(اجمعين رضئ ہللا تعالی عنہم) Ali صلى هللا عليه و ) The problem with Shia groups is that they claim that after Prophet Mohammad (3) رضئ هللا ) left this world; only 4 Sahabah were steadfast in Islam.
