Introduction
First Edition of the New Print
A
ll praise is due to Allah Who has guided us to this (path); and
we would never have been guided as such if Allah had not, and may
His peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, whom He referred
to in His words (Verily, [O Muhammad] you guide to the straight path)
[Az-Zukhruf: 52]; his family, companions whom He exalted by saying (And
the first forerunners [in faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and
those who followed them with good conduct – Allah is pleased with them
and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens
beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great
attainment)| [Taubah: 100] and upon those who take to their steps and
guided by their guidance until the Last Day.
This is the first edition of the new print of my book “Doctrines of the
Twelver Shiite: Enquiry and Response”. It is my pleasure to put this book
before the reader after much demand and attention from the intellectuals.
The importance of publishing and translating it into different languages,
as well as distributing it amongst the Muslim world have been unanimously
agreed upon and emphasized by eminent scholars and erudite thinkers of
our time.
Nonetheless, this first edition of the new print represents the seventh
revised and scrutinized edition compared to the earlier printed editions,
and also the fifteenth edition in the line of photocopied editions.
May Allah grant it’s benefit to the author, the printer, distributor and
whomsoever helps in a way or the other in spreading it on (A Day when no
child nor wealth would be of any benefit) [Ash-Shu’raa: 88-89].(1)
Once again, all praises are due to Allah and may His blessings be upon
our Prophet, his family and companions in general.

(1) This is the second edition of the new print. It is unique in its additions such as the
foreword of Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Imam; acknowledgement of the Head
of the Jewish State that Shiites are not enemies to their State, acknowledgement by the
great caller for bridging of gaps between religions that he was self-deluded by the call and
belief of the Shiites about the Syrian Jihad and so on.

Introduction
To the Eleventh Edition
A
ll praises are due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and may
His peace and blessings be upon the leader of the Messengers and
Imam of the pious, our Prophet Muhammad, his family and entire
companions.
Thereafter, I thank Allah for making it possible to have all copies of the
previous editions of this book “Doctrines of the Twelver Shiites: Enquiry
and Response” exhausted. I fervently pray He causes it to be a benefit that
would leave behind notable impacts on the mentality of the Shiite youths,
perhaps they would find in its explicit evidence and proofs what will con-
vince them to have a rethink and return back to the right path of the rightly
guided ancestors.
The book has become an encyclopedia and reference point for those
who want to have basic knowledge about the beliefs of the Twelver Shiites
denomination. It brings together issues that are scattered around in their
sources, produces a clear glimpse of their bad religious beliefs and provides
answers to their corrupted doctrines. It has been qualified by one of the
scholars as the “Weapon” of the preachers of Ahlus-sunnah.
As a result, it has made it easy for all Muslims to have basic knowledge
about the doctrines of the Twelver Shiites without stress, as well as ways of
responding to their beliefs. It also brought to the Muslims some orientation
about their major references and sources, origin of their beliefs and how they
evolved into extremism and blatant error.
All praises and thanks are due to Allah. This is the eleventh edition of
this book I am tendering before the Muslims scrutinized and edited with
additions after exhausting all the copies of the previous edition, with a very
high demand for more copies.
Therefore, we have prepared this edition in order to keep the course of
benefiting the people alive, general and with deeper impact by the grace of
Allah. Perhaps, with this, Allah will guide whomsoever He wishes by it to
the right path and count us and whosoever shouldered the expenses of this
edition among those whom the Prophet (PBUH) referred to when He said:
“For Allah to guide through you a single man is better for you than pos-
sessing a hundred red camels”.(1) He also said: “When a slave of Allah dies,
(1) Bukhari (d. 256) hadith no. 3701 (Chapter: Virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib Al-Qurashi
Al-Hashimi Abu Al-Hasan) and Muslim (d. 261) hadith no. 6376 (Chapter: Of the Virtues
of Ali bin Abi Talib).

his deeds stops except three (types): the flowing charity, benefitting knowl-
edge and pious child praying for him”(1). And this edition is distinguished
by additions in its text editing and commentary, scrutinizing reports and
narratives and reports from both contemporary and past Shiite scholars(2).
There are also additions in the number of references. These have given this
edition an edge over the previous ones.
(1) Reported by Tirmidhi (d. 279) and he said it is hasan (good), hadith no. 1376 (Chapter
on Time).
(2) This is out of my curiosity to disprove such misleading calls being made by the Rejecters
and are also being welcomed by some Ahlus-sunnah:
There proclamation that “the Shiites of today will not meet with the Shiites before now.
This is because the intellectual ability of the Shiites of this time has developed beyond all
these primitive, blunt and ungodly principles…all these claims are rejected by reality,
because their books and the reality of their contemporary way of life is clear evidence to
the lies and falsehood embedded in them. The Rejecters of today are the same as those of
yesterday, for they refer to the same sources and their detail jurisprudential issues, verses
and so on are well-linked as ever. Here are few proofs to this claim:
The original first emergent of shi’ism and the today’s contemporary Shiites have the same
origin and sources as below:
They depended on sources and books of their ancestors in teaching, learning and reporting,
and the eight points of union remain the same to the contemporary Rejecters. This was
established by Agha Bizrak At-Tahraani in his book ‘Azh-Zharee’ah’ and others.
Their activeness, with the supervision of their scholars, in reproducing, publishing and
distributing the books of their ancestors up till today. In doing this, all the idolatry, rubbish,
shirk, defamation, curses, abuse and calling of the companions of the Prophet disbelievers
are still retained without a single footnote explanation or comment whatsoever.
The emphasis laid by their contemporary scholars on these same old sources and books
and that what is present therein are authentic despite the fabrications and misguidance
contained in them.
Their religious worship rites are still based on the same old sources even with all the
evident contradictions they bear with Islam.
Their contemporary scholars hold very tightly on to these fundamental principles, defend
them, publish books in support of them and continuously serially call to them through
courses, fora and so on. After that came the State of Ataat and the misguidance resurfaced
in a much more firmer form in their books, especially for their Ayat Al-Khumaini….
who usurped some powers meant for the awaited Mahdi who is hitherto in the hiding
roaming the cities.
This usurp of qualities meant for the awaited Mahdi by Al-Khumaini, is what they refer to
today as “wilaayat Al-Faqeeh” (Government of the Jurisprudent), and the last agreement
carried out by the State of Ayaat was: “Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran”, a
Persian Magi Rejecters State.
Finally, these people are divided over these books. However, this should not borther you in
any way, because whether the person refutes them or affirms them, both ways are part of
their religion (At-Tabsheer bi At-Tashayyu’, pp. 10-15 by Bukar bin Abdullah Abu Zaid (d.
1429), a member of the Committee of Eminent Scholars in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).
I wish to alert the reader that it is out of justice and fairness to these people that I had to
quote their texts verbatim from their sources without alteration of any typographical and
other errors. I see that to be justice in reporting. Thanks be to Allah.

IntroductionTo the Eleventh Edition
At the juncture, we hope we have been able to provide a gateway for

the growing Shiite youths to return back to the right path of the guided
ancestors (May Allah be pleased with them) and unveiled that huddle that
was blindfolding them from the truth about their religious denomination.
I thank Allah for guiding a number of Shiite youths to the right path after
reading this piece. This, I was rightly informed by some students in the
Islamic University of Madinah and other places.
It is Allah Alone Who can cause this work to be a sincere one for His
sake and grant it acceptance. I pray He grants us success, anyone who one
way or the other helped in publishing or distributing the book, our parents,
entire families and the Muslims at large. May He guide our hearts to the
right religion which He sent to our Noble Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
I also supplicate Him, the Most High, to make firm in the religion our
minds, avert sins from us and guide us towards His obedience, or else, the
minds will end up loving and plotting evils and displaying characters of
the ignorant.
To Allah be all praises, the Lord of the Universe, Most gracious Most
Merciful, the Owner of the Day of Reckoning, and may His blessings be
upon His Messenger, his family and companions.

A
ll praises are due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and may His
peace and blessings be upon the seal of prophets, Muhammad, his
family and companions.
Based on the principles of being grateful to Allah for His bounties as
He rightly said: (but as for the favor of your Lord, report [it]) [Adh-Dhuha:
11] and causing happiness to a Muslim “the most beloved deeds to Allah the
Most High is happiness which you put in a Muslim(1)”, this book “Doctrines
of the Twelver Shiites: Enquiry and Response” has been granted accep-
tance by Allah within the folds of scholars and students of knowledge of
Ahlus-Sunnah. This led to a competition in printing copies of it by preacher
amongst the people of Tawheed. They also indicated interest in translating
and distributing it within the Kingdom and outside. These demands are still
coming in from different corners.
Some scholars found it necessary that I included in this edition numbers
of the verses quoted and the chapters, list of references and also print the
book in two colours. These requests I have complied to in this edition by
adding the numbers of the hadeeths, stated the chapters and sub-chapters
of my quotes from their books, corrected the very few errors found in it and
also added years of death for mentioned scholars.
Thanks be to Allah Who made it possible for this edition to stand
out with the foreword of His Eminence, sheikh Salih bin Muhammad
Al-Luhaidan, Head of Supreme Judicialcouncil and Sheikh Abdullah bin
Abdurrahman As-Sa’di. May Allah reward them abundantly.
This is what I deem necessary to state about this new edition, and all
thanks are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.

A
ll praises are for Allah Alone, and may His peace and blessings
be upon him no Prophet came after, our noble Prophet Muhammad,
his family and companions.
That said, Sheikh Abdurrahamn bin Sa’d bin Ali ash-Shathri asked me
to go through his book entitled: “Doctrines of the Twelver Shiites: Enquiry
and Response”, which he authored in a question and answer pattern. The
enquiries numbered a total of one hundred and thirty-two accompanying
each enquiry with a response. He persistently asked me to read through this
work and I found in it forewords for Sheikh Abdullah bin Abdurrahman
Al-Jibreen, Shiekh Abdullah bin Muhammad Al-Ghunaiman and Sheikh
Abdurrahman bin Salih Al-Mahmoud. If not for the author’s persistence,
the forewords of the aforementioned three scholars were enough.
I was able to read about one hundred and thirty pages of the book and
I found out that the author did a marvelous work by citing their sources in
his discussions. It is necessary that one discusses a people’s belief from their
source of information. This keeps the intellectual trust and justice.
I advise anyone who come in contact with this book, to read it with
attention. In it, you will find very amazing facts that any reasonable being
would laugh at. Whenever they spoke about their Imams, they placed them
better and higher than Prophets and Angels. They even say all sort of absurd
things about the Angels of Allah.
Anyone who reads this book will see wonders. One will wonder if these
people have senses at all! They claim believing in the Government (of Ali)
“is better than salat, fasting, hajj” and that this is among the basic funda-
mentals of their religion (Al-Kaafi). They claim that “anyone who rejects the
Al-Ghadeer Festival has rejected Islam”. They also claim that their Imams
have a status that no Angel close to Allah could attain or any Prophet, and
that this is part of the necessities of their beliefs. Their Imam has overall
powers over the entire world and nothing in the world is hidden from him.
Where are all these powers when series of wars have ripped them off
in the past years?
8
They claimed that “a Shiite is of the same rank with Prophets Moses
and Aaron”. Perhaps, such claim was very possible because of their link with
the Jew, Abdullah bin Saba’.
I actually do not like referring to the author’s narratives from their
books. I am more interested in seeing the Shiite or non-Shiite read through
the content of the book. This is because the main aim for the book is to bring
out truth and put evil to shame as it is made clear to all.
I am pleased to see that knowing the truth guides someone amongst the
Shiites to the right path. Thus, I fervently call upon students of knowledge
and all those who preach and want Islam spread, to read this book and get
acquainted with what lies between Ahlus-sunnah and the Shiites.
That notwithstanding, we are trying to explain the truth to the people
and teach students how to extricate truth from sources and explain it to
the people. This will make explicit to the youths of Ahlus-sunnah what the
Shiite scholars claim or say about the Qur’an, the companions of the Prophet
(PBUH), the Angels and the revelation they claimed has not ended.
It is necessary that all leaders of Islam come together and find a common
way by following the teachings of the Qur’an and footsteps of those who
the Prophet (PBUH) bore witness for, that they are of the best of centuries.
The students have to also get active so that they can continue the struggle
of spreading the guidance and explaining to the people ways that are wrong
and warning against them.
I also advise the Shiite youths to read this book. It will make them
understand the way their scholars and leaders think and do things. Perhaps,
Allah might guide anyone of them to the right path (And, [moreover], this
is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways,
for you will be separated from His way). Also was the similitude made by
the Prophet (PBUH) when he drew a straight line and then followed it with
many other lines to both left and right sides, and then said about the straight
line: This is Allah’s path and the other lines are the different ways. On every
different oath is a Shytan…..
I pray Allah makes whatever we learn beneficial to us and bless for us
what He has granted us. I also pray He makes this book beneficial to the
people, acceptable to them and a means to letting those on the right path
know what the evil ones have done as well as guide with it those who have
strayed among the Twelver Shiites to the right path. In Allah’s possession
belongs all things and on to Him is the ultimate return
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad, his family,
companions and anyone who follows their guidance.

A
ll praises are due to Allah, who sent Muhammad as a giver of
glad tidings, warner and caller to Allah by His leave, as well as a
shining light. He gave preference to his companions and granted then
much virtue. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad,
his family and the companions.
That said, I have read this valuable piece collated and written by sheikh
Abdurrahman bin Sa’d Ash-Shathri, a student of knowledge. He gathered
in it materials related to doctrines of the Rejecters Twelver Shiite denom-
ination. This people have actually got their feet rooted in many places as
they called people to their false belief. They deceive the masses and laymen
with the claim that they love the family of the Prophet (PBUH), whilst in
the real sense, they only inclined towards Ali (Allah be pleased with him)
and only two of his many children, without his uncles, their children and
all the other members of the family of Hashim.
However, they openly proclaimed their belief about the other compan-
ions of the Prophet (PBUH), especially the four rightly guided khalifahs
except Ali. They declared them to be disbelievers, hypocrites and idol wor-
shipers. They even openly rain curses on them as being explicitly stated in
their books, audios and preachers. The author was able to make clear what
they hide and what they believe in by quoting texts from their books which
they hardly allow get out of their possession. Nonetheless, their books suc-
cessfully disgraced them.
We hope that the reader would be able to comprehend and inform others
how these people harbor hatred for the Ahlus-Sunnah, so that those who
know nothing about them may not fall victims of their antics and deceit.
I pray Allah guides aright any Muslim who is astray, foil the plot of the
plotters and He the Most High, knows best. May the peace and blessings of
Allah be upon Muhammad, his family and companions.

A
ll praise are for Allah, and may His peace and blessings be
upon His servant and Messenger, Muhammad, his family, wives
and companions.
That said, verily, one of the most mandatory tasks to jealously protect
the beliefs of the Muslims from corruption and manipulations. In this light,
it becomes inevitable to make known what is evil and incorrect. This will in
turn make the truth manifest as its opposite is made known for avoidance.
This is a confirmed fact that Hudhaifah bin Al-Yamaan said: “The people
used to ask the Messenger of Allah about good things, while I was asking
about evil so that I don’t fall victim of it”. This is a high level of jurispru-
dential understanding.
Among the things that threaten the pristine doctrines of the believer
is the Rejecters’ denomination. It is a denomination that derailed from the
pure teachings of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). This sect has become
very powerful in this times we live in. they now have a State to themselves
that spend huge amounts of money in training men and spreading their
evil doctrines.
This book “Doctrines of the Twelver Shiites: Enquiry and Response”
bridges a very wide vacuum in this respect and blocks the spread of such
beliefs to our domain and minds of the innocent Muslims.
May Allah reward the author generously, brother Abdurrahman bin
Sa’d Ash-Shathri; grant increase in knowledge and the ability to strive more
in the cause of Allah. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon His
Messenger, his family and companions.

Ex-Prof. of Aqeedah, Imam Muhammad Islamic University
A
ll praises are due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and may His
peace ad blessings be upon the noblest of the prophets and Messen-
gers, Muhammad, his family and companions in general.
I have read through this beneficial book, which the author wrote in the
form of question and answer. It tackles a subject very clear to anyone who
has been granted the right insight and understanding of the pure teachings
of the Prophet (PBUH) and the Glorious Qur’an, while it may not be very
explicit to those who lack basic pure understanding of what the Islamic doc-
trines are or those who might have fallen victims of corrupted knowledge
about Islam from the likes of the Rejecters and atheists or any other who
unfortunately have been impacted upon by them.
This topic being handled in this book exposes the truth about the the-
oretical and practical doctrines of the Twelver Shiites, which are mostly
based on Grand Shirk and others that emanate from it, such as going to
the extreme about their twelve Imams. Their beliefs are contradictory to
the three categories of Tawheed: Al-Aluhiyyah (Worship), Ar-Rububiyyah
(Lordship) and asmaa was-sifaat (names and attributes). They also declared
enmity with the Qur’an, the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions, whom
they even claimed are infidels.
At this juncture, I will like to emphasize certain issues:
1) This write-up, in its question and answer format, is very necessary
to students of Knowledge. It contains concentrated, concise and confirmed
facts about the doctrines of this denomination. Students and scholars alike
need books of this nature that would bring closer the entails of huge and
voluminous literatures to them.
2) The book is distinguished with its referencing. There is no narration
or report quoted that was not referred to its source and all sources were
directly from adopted original books of the denomination itself.
3) Since the doctrines and beliefs of this group of people are wrong
and based on fabrications, their religious literatures automatically became
filled with numerous contradictions. The author was able to point out all
these areas from their sources to serve as a deterrent to those who might be
nursing the notion of joining them, or inclining towards them as well as to
pave a way of rethinking to those of them that might be guided to the right
path. May Allah guide everyone to the right path.
12
4) Beliefs, religious allegiance and repudiation are not supposed to be

dragged into politics of the daily life. If such is not contained, things could
degenerate to a level where by our brother of yesterday, who was just like a
follower of the Shafi school of thought while I was in Maliki’s school, will
become a terrible enemy to us, all because of politically motivated factors
that are far away from any religious foundations. Issues of religion should
be properly based on knowledge from authentic teachings, more especially
if emanating from a scholar.
Finally, we thank our brother and researcher, sheikh Abdurrahman
bin Sa’d Ash-Shathri, who has endeavoured to help the Ummah with this
great concise work that came in at a time it is needed most, as a warner to
the Muslims not to fall victims of the destroyer proclamation.
I pray Allah makes it beneficial to the people and reward abundantly
the author and any person who has contributed one way or the other to its
publication and distribution. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon
Muhammad, the Prophet, his family and companions.

That said, I read through the book authored by our brother,
sheikh Abdurrahman bin Sa’d Ash-Shathri, entitled: “Doctrines of the
Twelver Shiites”, and found that he did a wonderful and beneficial work
therein. He explicated their doctrines in a perfect way by referring to their
own most popular and adopted books.
Anyone who glances through what is entailed in this book would
immediately comprehend how wrong their beliefs are and the evil in their
denomination. It makes it more convincing as he quoted his facts from their
own sources what provides responses to their beliefs. Therefore, their religion
is full of beliefs destroying and contradicting others within it.
Success lies with Allah.

A

witness that Muhammad (PBUH) is His slave and Messenger. May
the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
That said, I read through the book authored by our respected brother,
sheikh Abdurrahman bin Sa’d Ash-Shathri, titled: “Doctrines of the Twelver
Shiites: Enquiry and Response” and found it full of profound benefit for
the Muslims. I hope it would be available to everyone in order to get them
equipped against the spread of the Rejecters doctrines in the Islamic world.
The author was very just in his write-up by making reference to the
Shiite’s books and sources and edited reports in them. He made use of ref-
erences accepted by them and thereby, leaving no room for them to accuse
him of bias or claim otherwise. Their books are more than enough evidence
against them as they wrote them themselves. The author was able to gather
together their misguidance in a very explanatory form.
I pray Allah to make it a generally accepted book and also make it gen-
erally beneficial, for He is the best to seek refuge with.

Introduction
First Edition
A
ll praises are due to Allah, the Lord of creation, May peace and
blessings be upon the noblest of the Prophets and Messengers.
In partial fulfillment of the obligation of Allah to proclaim
the message, advice and guide, invite to the truth and enjoin one another
with it, and striving to defend the Muslims from all evils and warning
them against it so that the Muslim Ummah will be as Allah wishes it to be-
united and merciful to one another- with Islam as their religion: in creed,
statement, and actions, holding fast to the two noble revelations: the Quran
and Sunnah, not divided by vain desires, not afflicted by destructive ideas,
and protected from the enemy as Allah says: “And whoever holds firmly to
Allah has [indeed] been guided to a straight path.” [Q3: V101]. Allah also
says: “And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and
do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from His way. This has
He instructed you that you may become righteous.” [Q6:V 153].
Indeed, the Muslims had been on the path of the guidance of the Prophet
and the right religion. However, after the killing of the commander of
the faithful, Uthman bin Affan-may Allah be pleased with him- the trial
occurred, and the Muslims fought themselves at Safeen, and Al-Maariqa(1)
seceded as the Prophet said: “A group (Al-Maariqa) would secede itself (from
the Ummah) when there would be dissension among the Muslims. Out of
the two groups who would be nearer the truth would kill them.”(2) Their
secession was when the two arbiters ruled and people dispersed without
reaching agreement.
Then the innovation of Shiism occurred after that of the Khawarij(3).
(1) Al-Mariqa refers to the Khawarij group. They are those who protested against Ali after
the Arbitration, so Ali fought them on the day of An- Nahrawan. The Prophet had com-
manded that they should be fought in several authentic hadiths. In the books of Bukhari
and Muslim there are ten hadiths concerning them, three in Bukhari and the remaining
in Muslim. See commentary on At-Tahawiyya by Abul Iz pg 530, Tahzib Sunan of Ibn
Qayim vol.3 pg 148-153. For more on their creed and sects see: Al-farq baina Al-firaq,
Al-Bagdaadi pg 72, Al-Fasl, Ibn Hazm vol. 5, pg 51-56, Al-Milal Wa An-Nihal, Ash-Sha-
rastaani vol. 1, pg 146.
(2) Reported by Muslim from the narration of Abu Saeed Al-khudree (book of zakat,
hadith no. 2358)
(3) See: Minhaaj Sunnah of Ibn Taymiyya vol. 1, pg 218-219. Sheikh Abdulah Al-Gu-
naiman said his introduction of the summery of the book: “Minhaaj Sunnah is one of the

Then several sects followed as told by the messenger of Allah in many

hadiths including the narration of Aby Huraira that the Prophet said: “The
Jews were split up into seventy-one; and the Christians were split up into
seventy-two sects; and my community will be split up into seventy-three
sects.”(1)
Shiism started from Kufa(2) and that was why it was narrated in the
stories of Shiism that their call was not accepted in Muslim towns except
in Kufa(3), then it spread to other parts just as the creed of Irjaa started from
Kufa also, while the creed of Qadariyya and Mutazila started from Al-Basra,
while Tajahum started from the area of Khurasan. The emergence of these
innovations was in relation to their distance from the city of prophet hood(4),
because innovation does not grow and spread except under the shade of
ignorance and absence of people of knowledge and faith.
That was why Imam Ayub As-Sikhtiyaani (131AH), May Allah have
mercy on him said: “part of the bliss of the young and the Non-Arab is for
Allah to guide them to a scholar among Ahlu-Sunnah”.(5) This is because
these two groups of people easily get influenced by hurricane of trials and
innovation because of their inability to know their aberration.
Hence, the best approach to counter innovation and prevent division
is to spread the Sunnah among the people and to explain the misguidance
of those who have deviated from it. That was why the scholars of sunnah
took up this issue and explained the condition of people of innovation and
refuted their ambiguities like Imam Ahmad did in refuting the Zanadiqa and
Jahmiyya. Imam Bukhari also refuted the Jahmiyya, Ibn Qutaiba (276AH)
refuted the Jahmaiyya and Mushabiha, Ad-Darimee (280AH) refuted Bishir
Al-muraisee and others.
Verily, we are living in a world today that is open to each other which
has led to a lot of mixtures in Muslim countries, and members of the sects
greatest books of Ibn Taymiyya, he defended the truth and its adherents, and he refuted
falsehood and exposed it. Muslim youths today are in utmost need of reading this book
and knowing its content because the Shiism has spread to all Islamic countries and has
changed it in a detestable manner”

have increased at a time when other nations are uniting against us, like the
Prophet said: “The people will soon summon one another to attack you as
people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will
that be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will
be numerous at that time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried
down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your
enemy and last enervation into your hearts. Someone asked: What is wahn
(enervation) Messenger of Allah: He replied: Love of the world and dislike
of death.”(1)
Add to this, the absence of a lot of scholars sometimes, and their failure
to enlighten the Ummah in matters of creed at other times.
And this state of negligence being witnessed in the education curricula,
and the weakness in creedal orientation and establishment of basic matters
of creed in the heart of Muslim children, and the presence of many factors
militating against sowing the creed of our pious predecessors in the mind
of the Ummah, all these are aimed at two things:
First: breaking the barrier of love and hate for the sake of Allah between
a Muslim and an unbeliever, and between a follower of sunnah and an inno-
vator, and this is called psychological barrier. This is done under different
misleading slogans like: tolerance, bringing hearts together, eschewing
anomaly, extremism and bigotry, humanity(2), universality(3) and other sim-
ilar words which in reality are destructive plots aimed at putting an end to
a Muslim who is steadfast in his religion.
Second: spread of ignorance of the religion till the knot becomes loos-
ened, and the Ummah is torn apart, and the Muslim becomes of no value
in their hands and under their factions and other similar conditions which
the Muslims are experiencing in the mold of ideological crises which has
made them lose balance in their lives, and their social bond-unity of creed-
(1) Reported by Ibn Abi Shaiba hadith no. 139, Imam Ahmad hadith no. 22398, Abu
Dawud hadith no. 4298
(2) Sheikh Bukar bin Abi Zaid-may Allah have mercy on him- said: (this is similar to the
three means of arousing interest which the freemason adopts: freedom, brotherhood, and
equality or peace, mercy, and humanity. This is done by inviting to modern spirituality
based on summoning of spirits: spirits of a Muslim, a Jew, a Christian, a Buddha and
others, and this is among the destructive universal Zionist call. Just as Ustaz Muham-
mad Muhammad Husain also explained its dangers in his book: modern spiritualism is
a destructive call/ summoning of spirits and it connection with Universal Zionism) see:
Al-ibtal li nazariyat l-khalt baina l-adyaan, pg 6, Sheikh Muhammad Husain died 1402AH,
may Allah have mercy on him.
(3) This is a new school of thought which calls to the search for one reality derived from
all the religions of the world but the reality of it is to negate Islam. See: Mu’jam Al-manahi
Al-lafziya, Sheikh Bukar Abu Zaid, pg 270- 271

has been shaken and this gave people of innovation and vain desires great
opportunity to spread their innovations and so on.(1)
That was why I decided to publish what has been written on the creeds
of Shiism of the Imamiyya, the twelvers, in the method of enquiries and
response. I had summarized it twice in other to serve as a reminder on the
obligations of the religion and to save the Muslims from trials in other to
protect the religion and its adherent.
Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyya said: (the scholars have a duty to the
Ummah to protect and transmit knowledge of the religion. if they do not
transmit knowledge of the religion to the Ummah or they abandon its pro-
tection, they have committed the greatest injustice to the Muslims. That
was why Allah said: “Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear
proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture
- those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse” this is because
the harm of concealing knowledge extends to animals and others hence,
they are cursed by those who curse and even by animals)(2)
He also said: (one who refutes people of innovation is striving in the
course of Allah, even Yahya bin Yahya says: “defending the Sunnah is more
virtuous than Jihad”)(3)
Adhahabi (748AH) added: (so I said to Yahya: the Man spends his money,
exhausts himself, and strives, and this one is more virtuous than him, he
said: yes, many times)(4)
(This was why the pious predecessors and Imams severely reproofed
innovation and cried out on its people all over the world, and warned people
seriously against their trials more than they did concerning immoralities,
injustice, and transgression because the harm of innovation and its destruc-
tion of the religion is more severe)(5)
Abul Wafaa Ibn A’qeel (513AH) said: (if you want to know the position
of Islam among the people of this time, do not look at their crowdedness at
the doors of mosques, and do not look at their uproar chanting labaik during
hajj rather you should look at their tolerance for the enemies of Islam. Ibn
Rawandi and Mu’aree (may Allah curse them) both lived writing poems
and articles, one says: make superstitious statements, and Mu’aree says:
read falsehood, and they said we were right, and we said: yes. By falsehood

he meant the book of Allah, and they lived for years and their graves were
glorified, their books were bought, and this is an indication of apathy of the
religion in the heart)(1)
I pray to Allah, the Most high: to make this message and its original a
blessed means of making people to practice this established sunnah in the
life of the Muslims in terms of striving to defend Islamic sanctuaries, and to
make them realize that it is among the rights of Allah like jihad, enjoining
what is good and forbidding what is bad. Especially, considering the fact that
there is great need for this in this contemporary period because the pressure
of desires is severe, and its means are many because of many misguided
people amongst us who have disreputable opinions such as secularization,
liberalization-meaning hypocrisy, modernization, enlightenment, licen-
tiousness …and that profligate call under the cover of freedom of religion,
assembly of religion which has led to the call for closeness between the
Sunnah and other sects and other calls which plucks out the foundation of
Islam from the heart: love and hate for the sake of Allah, while Allah says:
“and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt
you away from some of what Allah has revealed to you” (Q5:V49)
And behind those vain desires is a deadly plan to libel Sunnah and its
adherents, and to make mockery of them. This is one of the largest valleys
of falsehood which liars enter daily and openly.
One of the most evil manifestations of that vain desire is the audacity
of the neglectful amongst us who hides the truth and is greedy with his
knowledge. Whenever his fellow brothers stand up to help the course of the
Sunnah he abandons them.
Imam Ibn Qayim said: (there is no faith and good in one who sees the
sanctuaries of Allah being desecrated, and His commandments being dis-
obeyed, and His religion being abandoned, and the Sunnah of the Prophet
being left but he is nonchalant, silent like a dump devil just as one who
professes falsehood is an articulate devil!
The affliction of the religion is from these people who whenever they
have secured their source of livelihood and leadership they don’t care about
what happens to the religion, and the best of them is the one who shows
remorse at that but if somebody contended with him in something which he
is at fault in his honor or wealth he strives and spends everything in defense,
and he will use the three levels of reproaching vices according to his ability.
And these people despite their downfall in the sight of Allah and His
anger on them, they have been afflicted with the greatest affliction in this
world which is death of their heart because whenever the life of the heart is
(1) Al-Adaad Ash-Shar’iya, Abdullah bin Muhammad Bin Muflih, vol. 1, pg 268
20
more complete its anger for the sake of Allah and His messenger is stronger
and its strive for the victory of the religion is more perfect)(1).
One may say: what is the benefit of publishing a book like this to expose
the reality of the Twelvers Shiism, and that it will not change anything except
what Allah wills?
The answer to this is that the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His
messenger have shown that there will continue to be a group in this Ummah
who will hold on to the truth which Allah sent Muhammad with to the end
of time.
Like the saying of the Prophet: “A group of people from my Umma will
continue to obey Allah’s Command, and those who desert or oppose them
shall not be able to do them any harm. They will be dominating the peeple
until Allah’s Command is executed”(2)
And that his Ummah will never be united on misguidance because of
the hadith of Abdullah bin Umar-may Allah be pleased with him that the
Prophet said: (Allah will not unite my Ummah on misguidance and the Hand
of Allah is on the group)(3). The Prophet also said: (Never a Prophet had been
sent before me by Allah to his people but he had, among his people, (his)
disciples and companions, who followed his ways and obeyed his command.
Then there came after them their successors who proclaimed what they did
not practise, and practised what they were not commanded to do. And (he)
who strove against them with his hand is a believer; he who strove against
them with his heart is a believer; and he who strove against them with his
tongue is a believer; and beyond that there is no grain of Faith)(4)
The rebuke by heart is to believe that this is abominable and to detest
it for that. So when this happens then there is faith in the heart but when
the heart fails to know what is good and detest what is abominable it loses
its faith.
There is no doubt that explaining the condition of the sects that are out
of the group and are in opposition to the Sunnah is necessary to clear any
ambiguity and to explain the truth to the people, and spread the religion of
Allah, and establish the proof on the sects that have deviated from the book
of Allah and the Sunnah so that whoever will be destroyed will be destroyed
based on evidence and whoever will live will live based on evidence because
the truth is really hidden from anyone. Rather, these people mislead their
followers with ambiguities and illusive statements.

Indeed the followers of those sects that have deviated from the Quran
and Sunnah are either infidels or ignorant, and it is necessary to enlighten
the ignorant, and to expose an infidel so that he will be known and caution
taken against him.
Likewise, the leaders of innovation among the sects that have deviated
from the Quran and Sunnah, or acts of worship that contradicts the Quran
and Sunnah, explaining their condition and warning the ummah against
them is obligatory by consensus of the Muslim. Even, it was said to Ahmad
bin Hambal: who is more beloved to you: a man who fasts, prays and observe
itiqaf or one who speaks against people of innovation? He said: if he prays and
observe itiqaf it is for himself, but if he speaks against people of innovation
it is for the Muslims, this is better.
Thus, he explained that the benefits of this is generally for the Muslims
in their religion like jihad for the sake of Allah because purifying the cause
of Allah, His religion, path, and repelling the transgression of these people
and their aggression is an obligation on some of the Muslims by consen-
sus. If not for those established by Allah to repel the harm of these people
the religion would have been corrupted and this will be grievous than the
takeover of the enemy. This is because when the enemy takes over they do
not corrupt the heart and religion in it except as a follow up, but as for the
people of innovation they corrupt the hearts initially(1).
Indeed the enemy among the Jews, Christians, Hypocrites and all reli-
gions of disbelieve who are plotting against the Muslim Ummah have gotten
a means to cause trials in the Ummah, and there is no doubt explaining the
truth about these sects block the opportunity of the enemy to expand the
differences among the Ummah and its continuation, because leaving the
leaders of innovation and infidelity striving to mislead people, and who are
working to increase their members and deceiving their followers, and who
are claiming that what they are practicing is Islam, is part of blocking the reli-
gion of Allah and His Shareeah. In fact, part of the causes of the emergence
of atheist is that they thought Islam is what the deviant sects are practicing
and they saw that as invalid hence, they disbelieved in the religion.(2)
Then, assuming we know that the followers of Shiism will never leave
their creed and that the followers of Sunnah will never acknowledge Shiism
as the right creed that should not prevent one from passing the message and
explaining the truth. Even, that will not take away the obligation to pass the
message of Islam or the obligation to enjoin what is good and forbid what is

bad based on one of the narrations from the Imam of followers of Sunnah,
Ahmad bin Hambal and the opinion of many scholars(1).
And tell me for Allah’s sake: if the people of falsehood display their
desires and those plotting against the Ummah: one is disgraced and the other
is silent so when will the truth be established? Verily, the result is the same:
the emergence of false statements, and vain desire which have conquered the
religion, even changed it in the minds of the Muslims so how will keeping
quiet against falsehood be true while Allah says: “Rather, We dash the truth
upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is
destruction from that which you describe.” (Q21:V18)
Verily, going forth light and heavy to destroy the arrows from falsehood,
to refute anyone who contradict our creed, and invalidate his ambiguities,
and to expose his trials is the right of Allah upon His servants, and the right
of Muslims upon their scholars in refuting every deviant and his deviation,
every misguided and his misguidance, and every wrongdoer and his wrong…
so that people of vain desires will not call one another against the Muslims
to corrupt their natural disposition and brake their unity thereby turning
their religion into a changed and distorted religion, and a pile of sects and
desires, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah.(2)
Among great scholars who have faced trials in this aspect are Sheikhul
Islam Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn Qayim, Muhammad bin Abdulwahab and other
scholars of Islamic calling from An-Najd-may Allah have mercy on them.
In our contemporary period, they include Ihsan Ilahi Zuhair, Muhammad
Mala Allah, Nasir bin Abdullah Alqafari and other great scholars.
Indeed I relied on the books authenticated by the Imamiyya, the twelvers,
and books of other sects of Shiism in order to be just and establish the proof
to them, and also to mention how they contradict themselves in most of
their creed. This by the grace of Allah will help a lot in guiding those Allah
has decreed will be guided among the youths in Shiism to the true creed,
the creed of the companions of the messenger of Allah.
I want to express my gratitude to Allah and to my scholars:

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
E nquiry 1: Who are the Shiites?
Response: This question was answered by one of their Sheikhs,

Muhammad bin An-Nu’man, who they nicknamed Al-Mufeed, when he
said the Shiites are: “followers of Ali (Allah be pleased with him) by way
of allegiance, believing in his imamate after the Prophet (PBUH) without
severance(1) and repudiating the imamate of those who preceded him on the
seat of Khilafah, with the belief of accepting that for them but not in the
spirit of followership for anyone of them(2)”.(3)
Comment:
Whenever the word “Shiite” is mentioned nowadays, it refers solely
to the twelver sect(4) . This is because they make up the highest population
amongst the Shiites in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gulf countries and many
(1) This depicts that an imamate Shiite is one who believes that Ali (Allah be pleased
with him) is the Khalifah immediately after the Prophet (PBUH) without interruption.
This is based on the belief of the Shiites that repudiates the legitimacy of the Khilafah of
Abubakr, Umar and Uthman (Allah be pleased with them all). Thus, in the light of the
words of this Sheikh, Al-Mufeed, Shiism is an adjective suitable only for those who believe
in the Imamate of Ali (Allah be pleased with him) uninterrupted from the death of the
Prophet (PBUH) until his death.
(2) According to him, Ali (Allah be pleased with him) was a follower to the three Khulafah
only in the exterior, while in the interior they were actually his followers. In his view, Ali’s
followership to them was not on the precept of emulation, rather it was on that of Taqiyyah
(i.e. concealment). This means that his followership to the Khulafa was not in the precept
of internal belief, but was merely in the form of external conformity.

who made a certain theological school of thought in Islamic history) being worthy of the
name I’tizaal (Isolation) authored by their Sheikh Al-Mufeed (D 413 AH)
(4) This was mentioned by Hussein An-Noori At-Tabrasi (D 1320) in his book “Khaati-
mat Mustadrik Al-Wasaa’il” Vol. 1 p. 119 (The Second Benefit: Explanation of Books and
their authors: 24. Confirmation of the Will). His book “Al-Mustadrik” is on “Wasaa’il
Al-Shi’ah” (Ways of the Shiites) authored by Muhammad bin Al-Hassan Al-Hurr Al-Alami
(D 1104). And their most reverend Ayat Ogha Bazrak At-Tahrani (D 1389), in his book
“Al-Dharee’ah ilaa Tasaaneef Al-Shi’ah” vol. 2 pp. 110-111 no. 436, made reading the
book “Al-Mustadrak” mandatory on every scholar of the Shiites due to its high status to
them. He said: “It is mandatory on all mujtahideen (those scholars who have attained the
level of deducing verdicts) to read the book and consult it in deriving laws…a scholar’s
evidence is never complete in this time of ours if he hasn’t consulted Al-Mustadrak…”

other places today. Also is the fact that their sources of hadith and narrations
encompass the views of most of the other Shiite sects that emanated in the
epochs of history.
E nquiry 2: What is the origin of the Shiite sect?
Response: According to the investigative scholars, the most

appropriate opinion is that Abdullah bin Saba’ the Jew interpolated it and
openly proclaimed it. This is also the fact acknowledged by the Shiite books
that claim that Abdullah bin Saba’ was the very first person to openly declare
the Imamate of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). This belief of the Imam-
ate of Ali is the bedrock of the doctrines of Shiism. Also, the same Abdullah
bin Saba’ has been mentioned, by their books, to be the first to defame the
son-in-laws of the Prophet (PBUH), Abubakar, Umar and Uthman (may
Allah be pleased with them) and the first to openly say that Ali (may Allah
be pleased with him) was god…
Al-Hassan An-Nubukhti, an erudite Shiite scholar, said: “As-Saba’iyyah
are the followers of Abdullah bin Saba’, who was among those who openly
defamed Abubakar, Umar, Uthman and the companions. He dissociated
himself from them and proclaimed that Ali (may Allah be pleased with
him) ordered him to do so. However, Ali eventually got hold of him and
questioned him about his proclamations. He answered to the affirmative
and Ali ordered for his killing”.(1)
He continued: “A group of scholars amongst the disciples of Ali (Allah be
pleased with him) narrated that Abdullah bin Saba’ was a Jew who embraced
Islam and became a supporter of Ali. He was known, before his Islam, for
proclaiming that Yusha’ bin Nun, after Musa, was god(2). Then he made the
same proclamation about Ali (Allah be pleased with him) after the death of
the Prophet (PBUH). He was the first to openly claim that the Imamate of
Ali (Allah be pleased with him) is compulsory and whoever was his enemy

after the Murder of Ali (Allah be pleased with him)) by Al-Hassan bin Musa An-Nubukhti,
who is one of their scholars of the third Hijri century.
(2) i.e. while he was a Jew, he proclaimed that both of them were god, and the same he
claimed about Ali after he outwardly declared Islam. See: Al-Anwaar An-Nu’maaniyyah vo.

author was described as being “ “an erudite investigative scholar of great value” by another
Shiite Sheikh, Muhammad bin Al-Hassan Al-Hurr Al-Amili (d. 1104) in his book “Amal

is dissociated from ((and are disbelievers))(1). At this juncture, those who

opposed the Shiites said: The origin of Shiism and Rafidites emanated from
Judaism”(2). Then the scholar of all scholars of the Shiites, Sa’d Al-Qummi,
mentioned that “the position of Ibn Saba’ the Jew on hearing about the death
of Ali (Allah be pleased with him) was that he Ali did not die, he became
the proponent of his return and went extreme about it”(3).
E nquiry 3: Can you kindly acquaint us with the twelve Imams of

the Imami Shiites Doctrine?
Response: The first of them is the Caliph Ali bin Abi Talib (Allah be
pleased with him). He is called Abu Al-Hasan and they nick named him
“Al-Murtadha” (the one God is pleased with). He was born 23 years before
Migration and was martyred 40H.
2) Al-Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Talib (Allah be pleased with him). He is
called Abu Muhammad and nicknamed “Az-Zaki” (the Pure). He was born
in 2 AH and died 50 AH.
3) Al-Husein bin Ali bin Abi Talib (Allah be pleased with him). He was
called Abu Abdullah and nicknamed “Al-Shaheed” (the Martyred). He was
born in 3 AH and died 61 AH.
4) Ali bin Al-Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Talib (Allah be pleased with him).
He was called Abu Muhammad and nicknamed “Zain Al-Abideen” (Beauty
of the Worshipers). He was born in 38 AH and died 95 AH.
5) Muhammad bin Ali bin Al-Husein bin Ali bin Abi Talib (Allah be
pleased with them). He was called Abu Ja’far and nicknamed “Al-Baqir” (the
Highly Knowledgeable). He was born in 57 AH and died in 114AH.

E nquiry 4: Did any of the groups of Shiites claim that Angel Jibreel
(Allah be pleased with him) err in delivering the revelation?
(1) See: Usool Al-Kafi Vol. 1 pp. 402-403 (The Chapter of narrations about the Twelver Shi-
ites in which they were specifically mentioned) by Muhammad bin Ya’qoob Al-Kulayni (d.
328). Some of their scholars believe that the book “Al-Kafi” was presented to their acclaimed
leader who approved of it saying: “It suffices for our Shiites”, Bihar Al-Anwar Vol. 89 p.
377 Hadeeth 8 (Chapter of Ambiguities of the Qur’an). The Sheikhs of Shiites ruled that
anyone who believes that the Qur’an suffices for mankind without The Fundamentals of
Al-Kafi is misled. Their revered scholar Al-Khawansari commented about Al-Barqa’i that:
“Al-Barqa’i is misguided because he avers in his book – Qabas min Al-Qur’an (Adaptation
from the Qur’an) – that Al-Kulayni’s Al-Kafi is not sufficient but the Qur’an is sufficient”.
Sawaanih Al-Ayyaam p. 90 by Al-Barqa’i, Dar Alem Al-Kutub ed. 1, 1431.
29
Response: Yes. The Ghurabites say: “Replacing Ali with Muhammad is

like replacing something with its like. Thus, Allah sent Angel Jibreel (Allah
be pleased with him) to Ali (Allah be pleased with hum). Jibreel erred and
delivered the message to Muhammad. Therefore, they curse the Angel Jibreel
(Allah be pleased with him)(1).
Important Comment:
Is there any difference between the claim of the Ghurabites and the
Twelver Shiites regarding the fabrication made by their Sheikh Al-Kulayni
that a man came to Abu Ja’far and asked him: “Is the Qu’an not sufficient for
them? He replied: Of course it is. But only when they find an interpreter for
it. He said: Didn’t the Prophet (PBUH) interpret it? He said: He interpreted
it to only one man and explained to the ummah who this man was. The man
was Ali bin Abi Talib (Allah be pleased with him)”(2).
This is why the Shiites refer to the Glorious Qur’an as “The Silent Qur’an”
and the Imam as “The Speaking Qur’an”.
Their sheikhs fabricated against Ali (Allah be pleased with him) that he
said: “This Book of Allah is silent, while I am the speaking book of Allah”.(3)
Al-’Ayyashi, a scholar of theirs, also fabricated that “Abu Baseer narrated
that Abu Ja’far said that An-Nur (the light) in the Qur’anic verse ‘So they
who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the
light which was sent down with him’ is Ali”.(4)

Contradiction:
They fabricated that “on the authority of Abu Khalid Al-Kabili who
said: “I asked Abu Ja’far about the statement of Allah “So believe in Allah
and His Prophet (PBUH) and the light (i.e. the Qur’an) which we have sent
down” and he replied: O Abu Khalid! I swear by Allah that the Light is the
Imams from the family of Muhammad (PBUH) till the Day of Resurrection.
They are, by Allah, the Light Allah sent down”(1).
Comment:
The Twelver Shiites claim unequivocally that Ali (Allah be pleased
with him) is the actual Messenger without the issue of Angel Jibreel mis-
taking. They fabricated that the message of Muhammad (PBUH) was only
to introduce Ali (Allah be pleased with him) and his duty was to explain
the Qur’an to Ali alone.
However, for you to ponder over, Allah says in the Qur’an what is trans-
lated as: “ [We sent them] with clear proofs and written ordinances. And
We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what
was sent down to them and that they might give thought”.
E nquiry 5: Is there anyone amongst the Scholars of Shiites who

claims that the statement of a scholar of theirs can abrogate the
Qur’an or restrict the unrestricted or define the undefined?
Response: Yes, and many of them claimed that. For this reason, their
Sheikh, Muhammad Al Kaashif Al-Ghitaa’, said: “The wisdom of gradual
advancement demands it that a set of rulings be made explicit while others
are concealed. However he (PBUH) entrusted them to his plenipotentiaries.
Each plenipotentiary hands them over to the next to disseminate at the right
time as wisdom may demand it, such as restricting the unrestricted, defining
the undefined, etc. the Prophet (PBUH) might have mentioned something
unrestricted and then later on in his life time stated what restricts it. He
might as well decide not to state what restricts it but rather, he entrusts it to
his trustee to do the needy at the right time”.(2)
This statement is based on the belief of the Shiites that the Imam is the
custodian of the Qur’an and the Speaking Qur’an.
Thus, they fabricated that Ali (Allah be pleased with him) said: “This
(i.e. the Qur’an) is the silent Book of Allah, while I am the Speaking Book of
Allah”.(3) Their Imams are “the custodians of Allah’s knowledge, the leather

suitcase of Allah’s revelation and the bearers of Allah’s religion. On to us

Allah’s Book was revealed, with us Allah is worshipped and Allah would
have not been known if not for us”.(1) In other narrations, they are “the
caretakers of Allah’s secret”(2) and “only with them what is with Allah can
be found or comprehended”.(3)
Comment:
On the basis of the foregoing, restricting the unrestricted in the Qur’an
and Sunnah, defining the undefined and the matter of abrogation, as seen
by the sheikhs of Shiites, are not put to an end by the death of the Prophet
(PBUH) because, in their belief, divine revelation continues…etc.
Of the beliefs of the Shiite scholars is the saying of their Sheikh Muham-
mad Al-Maazindaraani that “Surely, the statement of any one our pure
Imams is the words of Allah the Almighty. There are no discrepancies in
their words, just as discrepancy is not found in the words of Allah. The phase
of harmony in their statements is explicit to those who are pristine in mind
and unadulterated in nature”.(4)
He also said: “If you say: On this basis, it is permissible for one who
reports a hadith on the authority of Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased with
him) from his father to, instead, report it (directly) on the authority of his
father or any of the men in the chain of narrators or even to state it as being
the statement of Allah the Most High?” I say: “This is a different ruling not
inferred from this hadith. However, it is right and correct being inferred

authority of Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) that such is permis-
sible and even preferred”.(1)
Al-Kulayni also specified a chapter in his book which he called “Dele-
gating the Prophet (PBUH) and the Imams on religious matters”.(2)
Comment:
Anyone who ponders over the remote consequences of these statements
would realize that they are meant to distort and replace the pristine sharee’ah
of the Prophet (PBUH) by their so called Imams or any of their followers
and so on.
Why don’t they take to what they narrated that the Prophet (PBUH)
and their Imams said: “When two hadiths are reported to you from us,
place them both on the scale of the Qur’an. Any one that conforms with
the Qur’an should be taken and the one that contradicts the Qur’an be dis-
carded”?.(3) Why don’t they recall the words of Allah: “ The Day their faces
will be turned about in the Fire, they will say, “How we wish we had obeyed
Allah and obeyed the Messenger. And they will say, “Our Lord, indeed we
obeyed our masters and our dignitaries, and they led us astray from the
[right] way.”? (Al-Ahzaab: 66-67).
E nquiry 6: What do the Sheikhs of Shiites believe about explaining

the meaning of the Qur’an?
Response: Firstly, the Shiite Sheikhs believe that the Qur’an has hidden
meanings that are contradictory to the clear explicit ones.
In order to hold on to this claim, they fabricated against the Prophet
(PBUH) and Ali (Allah be pleased with him) that they said: “Verily, the
Qur’an has inner and outer (meanings)”.(4)

Comment:
What most have necessitated this belief for the Shiite Scholars is the
fact that the Qur’an neither made any mention of their Twelve Imams nor
their enemies, companions of the Prophet (PBUH). This had given the Shiite
Scholars sleepless nights and totally destroyed their plans. They categorically
stated that the Qur’an is void of mentioning their Imams and thus, their
Sheikh Al-’Ayyaashi fabricated that on the authority of Abu Abdullah (Allah
be pleased with him) who said: “If the Qur’an were to be read as revealed,
you would have found us named therein”.(1)
Firstly, it was a single external and hidden meaning for a verse. This
later developed into “the Qur’an having hidden and explicit meaning with
the hidden meanings having up to seven other hidden meanings”.(2)
Their estimations later got wilder and they said:
“Surely, it is very obvious for all and sundry that every verse of the Glori-
ous Qur’an has a hidden and explicit meaning in its tafseer and commentary.
In fact, it is clear from exhaustive information that a single verse has seven
to seventy hidden meanings. And a huge number of Hadiths showed that
its hidden tafseer and commentary are about the virtue of the pure leaders
and the greatness of their history. I mean by this the Prophet (PBUH) and
the Imams. It is very obvious to anyone who has insight and experience in
the inner meanings of the statements of the Most High that all the verses in
the Qur’an of praises and eulogies were revealed on them. Also were verses
of censure and condemnation, abomination and menace revealed on their
enemies and those incompatible with them. Allah attributed most of the
hidden part of the Qur’an to calling on to the Imamate and custodianship
just as he attributed most of the outer meanings of the Qur’an to calling on
Tauheed, Prophethood and the Message.(3)

Secondly, they believe that most part of the Qur’an was

revealed about them and their enemies amongst the companions.
Al-Faidh Al-Kaashaani said: “Most of the Qur’an was revealed on matters

about them, their saints and their enemies.”(1)
In fact, their great Sheikh, Hashim bin Sulaiman Al-Bahraani Al-Kit-
kaani (d. 1107 AH), claimed that “Ali bun Abu Talib (Allah be pleased
with him) alone was mentioned in the Qur’an 1154 times. He authored a
book titled “Al-Lawaami’ An-Nooraaniyyah fee Asmaa’ Ali wa Ahl Baytihi
Al-Qur’aaniyyah” (Gleaming Light on the Qur’anic Names of Ali and His
Family Members).
Comment:
O dear unbiased reader! If you endeavor to read through all the pages of
the Glorious Qur’an with the help of all the available Arabic dictionaries, you
will never find a single place in which the name of a single Imam amongst
their Twelve Imams was mentioned.
As usual with the Shiite Scholars in fabrication, this issue further devel-
oped into dividing the Qur’an into four parts.
Al-Kalbi lied that Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) said: “The
Qur’an was revealed in four parts: a part is on halal, another on haram, the
third on laws and sunan while the fourth part is history of the past, present
and future”.(2)
Comment:
Where are the Twelve Imams mentioned?
When the Shiite scholars realized that their twelve Imams were not
mentioned in the previous narratives, they began what they knew how to
do well. Their sheikh, Al-Kulaini fabricated a narration, which states:
“On the authority of Al-Asbagh bin Nubaatah who said: I heard the
leader of the believers (Allah be pleased with him) saying: “The Qur’an was
revealed in three parts: one- third is about us and our enemies, another
qualified by others amongst their scholars to an authority whose book has no predecessor.

one-third is for similitudes and Sunan; and the third part is for obligations
and laws”.(1)
Their scholars again added to this and fabricated another narration,
saying that Abu Ja’far (Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Qur’an was
revealed in four parts: one-fourth is about us, another one-fourth is about
our enemies, the third one-fourth is on similitudes and Sunan; and last
one-fourth is on laws and obligations”.(2)
It was clear to some Muslims that, according to this statement, there
was actually no merit for their Imams over their enemies regarding their
being mentioned in the Qur’an.
Their sheikh, Al-’Ayyashi was able to detect this lacuna, and as such he
fabricated a fourth narration, using the same wording of the previous one
but added the clause “and for us is the precious part of the Qur’an”.(3)
However, Al-Kaashaani, another of their scholars, successfully disgraced
him in his tafseer As-Saafi when he said: “and Al-’Ayyaashi added: “and for
us is the precious part of the Qur’an”.(4)
E nquiry 7: What is the origin of these explanations they give to the

Qur’an, while giving some examples of such?
Response: The very first exegesis of the Qur’an that laid foundation for
these kinds of tafseers is “Tafseer Al-Qur’an” by their sheikh Jabir bin Yazeed
bin Al-Haarith Al-Ja’fi Al-Kufi (d. 127AH). He was known for calling the
companions of the Prophet (PBUH) non-believers.
Comment:
It is strange to know that books written by Shiites on the reliability and
authenticity of this book are controversial amongst themselves. Some view it
as peak of knowledge of the Prophet’s family and even assigned to the author
qualities of godhead, saying he had knowledge of the unseen. One of their

sheikh, Muhsin Al-Ameen said: “Jabir Al-Ja’fi reported seventy thousand

hadeeth from Al-Baaqir (Allah be pleased with him) “.(1)
We also read other information from them discrediting him and tagging
him a liar. They narrated “on the authority of Zuraarah, who said: I asked
Aba Abdullah about the hadeeths of Jaabir and he replied: “I never saw him
with my father except once, and he never came to me”.(2)
This is a contradiction, which is numerous in judging hadeeth narrators
of Shiite and their scholars.
What matters is the fact that books of the Twelver Shiites inherited from
their sheikh, Jaabir, that the tafseer of Shaitan in the verse (The hypocrites
are] like the example of Satan when he says to man, “Disbelieve.” But when
he disbelieves, he says, “Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I fear
Allah, Lord of the worlds) [Surah Al-Hashr: 16] was Umar (Allah be pleased
with him) and that he is being punished worse than Devil. This tafseer has
been inherited by their scholars and it remained intact in their most revered
sources. They even called as unbeliever anyone who does not accept it.(3)
They also fabricated against Abu Ja’far, that he said: “Allah never sent
a Prophet except to pay allegiance to us and make no friendship with our
enemies. That is the meaning of Allah’s statement “And We certainly sent
into every nation a messenger, [saying], “Worship Allah and avoid Taghut.”
And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were
those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed” for they disbelieved the
family of the Prophet Muhammad.”(4)
Their earlier scholars tagged Abubakr and Umar (Allah be pleased with
them) as Al-Jibt and At-Taghut.

Al-Kulayni fabricated against Abu Ja’far that he said: “Al-Jibt and Al-Ta-
ghut mean so and so persons”.(1) While Al-Majlisi said: “And the so and so
persons means Abubakr and Umar”.(2)
They also qualify Umar (Allah be pleased with him) as “The Second”,
fabricating that in the words of Allah “and the disbeliever is ever, against
his Lord, an assistant [to Satan]” it means the Second Disbeliever and Ali
was triumphant.(3)
Their scholars, As-Saafi, fabricated against Abu Ja’far that he said: “The
meaning is in the hidden of the Qur’an, and it means: Ali is his lord in obe-
dience and loyalty”.(4)
In the verse “ And Allah has said, “Do not take for yourselves two deities.
He is but one God”, they said it means that “do not take for yourselves two
Imams. He is only one Imam”.(5)
They also fabricated that on the authority of Al-Mufadhal, who said that
Aba Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) said: The meaning of the state-
ment of Allah “And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord” that the
lord of the earth means the Imam of the earth. I said: “And when he comes
what happens? He said: “Then people will need no more light from the sun
and moon. They will get light from that of the Imam”.(6) Just like the verse
of Allah which says: “ And do not invoke with Allah another deity. There
is no deity except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face”, it
means: except their Imams. Al-Qummi fabricated against Abu Ja’far (Allah
be pleased with him) that he said:

“We are the direction through with Allah is reached”.(1)

In another narration: “We are the face of Allah which never dies”.(2)
They also fabricated that on the authority of As-Saadiq (Allah be pleased
with him) on Allah’s words “ And there will remain the Face of your Lord”,
he said: We are Allah’s Face”.(3)
Their greatest Imam, Al-Khumaini, said on the statement of Allah “ He
arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting
with your Lord, be certain” that it means: Your Lord, who is the Imam”.(4)
Comment:
1) The above mentioned examples of Shiites scholars exegeses of the
Qur’an entailed that their Twelve Imams were mentioned in the Qur’an. They
have fabricated thousands of texts to confirm that. However, Abu Abdullah
(Allah have mercy on him) was once asked that: “It has been reported from
you that intoxicant, gambling, (sacrificing on) stone alters [to others than
Allah] and divining arrows are men?. He said: “It is not of Allah to address
His creation with what they do not know”.(5)
Verily, this statement ascribed to Abu Abdullah (Allah have mercy
on him) and also coming from one of the most authentic books of Shiites
narrators destroys all that which their scholars had fabricated, which is
tantamount to heresy with regards to Allah’s Book.

Allah said: “ Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an that you
might understand.” [Surah Yusuf: 2]
He also said: “ Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur’an and indeed,
We will be its guardian.” [Surah Al-Hijr: 9]
The mortal blow on Shiite Scholars:

Verily, all these explanations and exegeses made by scholars of Shiite
in their very much accepted books have been declared to be incorrect and
worse than the Jews, Christians, Majus and all those who have associated
partners with Allah. These scholars of Shiites, by themselves, reported that
Abu Abdullah (Allah have mercy on him) said about those saying such
that: “They are worse than the Jews, Christians, Majus and those who have
associated partners with Allah. By Allah! None has ever diminished Allah’s
greatness like they have done. By Allah! If I accept and welcome what the
people of Kufa ascribe to me, I will be swallowed by the earth. I am nothing
but a slave of Allah who is incapable of causing any harm nor benefit.”(1)
2) All these explanations and exegeses are not opinions open to dis-
cussion by scholars of Shiite. They are confirmed sacred texts bearing the
qualities of revelation. In fact, they are rated above revelation because they
cannot be abrogated while their Imam can abrogate the Quranic revelation.
They fabricated that on the authority of Sufyaan As-Samt who said:
“I told Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him): may I be sacrificed on
your behalf. A man comes to us from your end who is known for lies and
tells us that you narrated to him hadeeth which to us is repugnant.” Abu
Abdullah replied: “ Is he telling you that I said the night was day and the
day night?” I said: No. He said: “Whenever he tells you that I said such, do
not just disbelieve him, but rather disbelieve me.”(2)

3) According to scholars of Shiites, as earlier stated, tafseer has both

external and internal meaning. The external is told to the generality of
Shiites while the hidden is told only to the specially selected ones who have
been granted the privilege of knowledge bearing.
On the authority of Abdullah bin Sinaan, who said that Dhurayh
Al-Muhaaribi said: “I told Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him): Allah
instructed me in His Book to carry out something which I want to know
of.” He said: “And what is that?” I said: “The statement of Allah “Then let
them end their untidiness and fulfill their vows”. He said: “Then let them
end their untidiness” is meeting with the Imam, “and fulfill their vows” is
the rituals”. Abdullah bin Sinaan said: “I then went to Abu Abdullah and
said to him: “May I be sacrificed on your behalf. What is the meaning of
the statement of Allah “Then let them end their untidiness and fulfill their
vows”? He said: “Reducing Mustache, cutting of nails and the likes.” I said:
“May I be sacrificed on your behalf. Dhurayh Al-Muhaaribi narrated to
me that you told him “Then let them end their untidiness” means meeting
with the Imam” and fulfill their vows” means the Rites.” Then he replied:
“Dhurayh is right and you are also correct. Verily, the Qur’an has explicit and
hidden meanings, and who is the one that can bear what Dhurayh bears?”(1)
Comment:
In this text and many others, it is explicitly stated that the Qur’an has
obvious meanings that are told to the general public and hidden meanings
that are told only to very special ones amongst them. And these special ones
are scanty. In fact, they might not really be in existence as none can bear
what Dhurayh bears.
The question here is this: If the scholars of Shiite are actually withhold-
ing this hidden knowledge and do not tell it to the general people of Shiite,
why then did the same scholars of the Twelver Shiites violate this principle
of their Imams and disseminated this withheld knowledge not just to the
generality of Shiites, but also to their enemies amongst Ahlus-Sunnah and
others. “… Indeed, this is a curious thing” [Sad: 5]

No cause for curiosity as they qualified themselves with frivolity and

lack of ability to conceal things.
Al-Kulayni reported that Ali bin Al-Husein (Allah be pleased with him)
said: “By Allah! I would love to redeem with some flesh from my forearm
two characteristics of our Shiites (i.e. supporters): frivolity and lack of ability
of keep secrets”.(1)
4) All these so-called hidden meanings being propagated and discussed

by scholars of Shiites are nothing but heresy against the Qur’an and its
verses. Allah has said: “Indeed, those who inject deviation into Our verses
are not concealed from Us. So, is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who
comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do whatever you will; indeed, He
is Seeing of what you do.” [Fussilat: 40]
E nquiry 8: Who amongst the scholars of Shiite who first proclaimed

that the Qur’an was incomplete, superfluous and distorted?
Response: He is their sheikh Hisham bin Al-Hakam (d. 190), who

proclaimed exaggeration.(2) He claimed that the Qur’an was written during
the era of the third rightly guided Khalifah, Uthman bin Affaan (Allah be
pleased with him), and that the real Qur’an was taken up the heaven when
the companions apostate, according to him”.(3)
The first of the Shiites books in which the incompleteness and excesses
of the Qur’an was registered in is written by their scholar Sulaim bin Qais
Al-Hilaali (d. 90). Al-Hajjaaj wanted to kill him, but he succeeded in escap-

bin Al-Hakam bi annahu ‘thiqah fee Ar-Riwaayaat, Hasan At-Tahqeeq’ jawaabaat Ahl
Al-Mousil by Al-Mufeed, p. 45 footnote No. 5. The reason for this fabrication was that
the Qur’an never mentioned their Imams and Hishaam was the first to mention Imamate.
Shiite scholars said regarding Hishaam:”He opened discussion about the Imamate and
also rectified the thought of Shiites. Among his books is ‘The Imamate’. Al-Fahrasat vol.

scholars and names of books they wrote) by Muhammad bin Ishaaq An-Nadeem (d. 380)

ing to Abbaan bin Abi ‘Ayyaash”.(1) And when Sulaim was in his death bed,
he handed this book to Abu Ayyaash, which he later reported and no other
person reported the book apart from him.(2)
It is the very first book to emanate for the Shiites,(3) and one of their
original sources. It is also one of the oldest books written in Islam, which is
a great blessing from Allah to the set of Shiite.(4)
In fact, there is not a single controversy between the scholars of Shiites
that “the book of Sulaim is one of their greatest fundamental books, which
has been narrated by scholars and people bearing the traditions of the Proph-
et’s family. It is also the earliest of their books, for everything contained in it
are sayings of the prophet (PBUH) and Ali (Allah be pleased with him… it
is reported that Abu Abdullah As-Saadiq (Allah be pleased with him) said:
“Anyone from our Shiites and lovers who does not have with him the book of
Sulaim bin Qais Al-Hilaali has nothing of our matter and he knows nothing
concerning our cause. The book is the rudiments of the Shiites and a secret
amongst the secrets of the family of Muhammad (PBUH)”.(5)
(1) He is Abbaan bin Abi “Ayyaash Fairooz Abu Ismaa’eel (d. 138). Al-Hasan bin Ali

According to Al-Kashshi, Abbaan read the book to Ali bin Al-Husein

(Allah be pleased with him) and he said: “Sulaim is correct, may Allah have
mercy on him. This is a narration we know”.(1) However, this book contains
fundamental belief of the sab’a Shiites scholars which deify Ali (Allah be
pleased with him):
It has in it that whenever the Shiite scholars called upon Ali, they attri-
bute Names of Allah to him such as “The First, The Last, The Open, The
Hidden, The One Who knows everything”.! These are in some editions of
the book of Sulaim.
It is narrated therein, in their usual fabricating manner, that “Ali the
leader of the believers, in company of Abubakar, Umar and a group of Ansar
and Muhaajiroon, stepped out one morning to a place in Baqee’ and stood
on a solid portion of the earth. As the sun rose, he said: “Peace be upon you,
o you new and obedient creature of Allah”. They overheard a loud voice
from the sky saying in response: “And Peace be unto you, O The First, The
Last, The Open, The Hidden, and The One Who knows everything”. When
Abubakr, Umar, the Ansar and Muhaajiroon heard this, they fainted. They
regained consciousness hours later (or after a long period of time) and Ali
had already left the place. They came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said: “You
tell us that Ali is human like us, but he has been addressed by the sun just
as Allah addressed Himself”.(2)
Contradiction:
They forgot that there is another fabricated version that put it at:
Then they regained consciousness after one hour (or a short period of
time)”.(3) This belief has held sway in their most fundamental books and
sources.
They also have another fabrication in which Allah said regarding Ali
(Allah be pleased with him): “O Muhammad! Ali is The First, The Last, The

Open, The Hidden, The One Who knows everything”. He replied: “O My

Lord! Isn’t that You?”(1)
This was exactly what their eminent one, Abdulhusein Al-’Aamili,
openly proclaimed in his words:
O Abu Hasan! You are the Eye of Allah

And the Eye of His Most High Ability
You encompass Knowledge of the hidden

Not even the most hidden can be hidden from you
And you are the ….of all that exist

And the reason for its remaining existence
To you belong all matters, as you save

Or punish at your own will(2)
Another poet of theirs also said that:
In him are gathered all attributes of the Lord

And only for a secret and wisdom did they gather (in him)(3)
The Mortal Blow for Shiite Scholars:

On reading through the book of Sulaim, scholars of the Twelver Shiites
discovered an issue of very great importance that could put their acclaimed
beliefs in shambles. Don’t you think its deifying of Ali, because that is an
overwhelmingly accepted matter to them. Rather, the danger they discovered
is that the book put the number of their Imams at thirteen. This continues
to hunt down the foundation of the Twelver Shiites.

Response: The origin of this claim started with two reports in the book
of Sulaim. Although, the two narrations were almost forgotten before Ali
bin Ibrahim Al-Qummi (d. 307) revived them again. He said: “The Qur’an
contains abrogating verses and abrogated ones… In it are words put in
place of others, others corrupted and some are not in the same manner in
which they were revealed… as for that which is not in the same manner in
which Allah revealed them are the saying of Allah “You are the best nation
produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid
what is wrong and believe in Allah”. Abu Abdullah said to the one reading
this verse: “the best of nation” killing the leader of the believers, Hasan
and Husein, the sons of Ali? It was then asked: “How then was it revealed,
O messenger of Allah? And he said: “ It was revealed as “You are the best
Imams produced (as examples) for mankind”
He continued, “O Messenger! Convey what has been revealed to you
from your Lord about Ali, and if not you do then not you (have) conveyed
His Message”.
Also in the verse “Indeed, those who disbelieved and did wrong to the
family of Muhammad, Allah will not [to] forgive them and not He will
guide them (to) a way”.
Also “And those who have wronged the family of Muhammad are going
to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned”, and the verse “.
Also “And if you could but see those who wronged the family of
Muhammad in the overwhelming pangs of death”.(1) So many numerous
examples of such commentary that shall be mentioned in different places
of this book.
Other scholars of Shiites with similar statements are as follows:
1) Muhammad bin Al-Hasan As-Saffaar (d. 290). He said: “AbuJa’far
said: “As for the book of Allah, they corrupted it; and for Ka’bah, they
destroyed it; the origin of the (prophet’s) progeny they killed; and all the
trusts of Allah they washed off their hands”.(2)
2) Sa’d bin Abdullah Al-Qummi (d. 301), who said: “Chapter of cor-
rupted verses which are contradictory to the way they were revealed by Allah,
as reported by our scholars (Allah have mercy on them) from scholars from
the Family of the Prophet (PBUH)”.(3)

Ja’far said: If not that the book of Allah was augmented and reduced, our
right would have been explicit to people of intellect”.(1)
4) Muhammad bin Ya’qub bin Ishaq Al-kulaini Ar-Raazi (d. 328). He
fabricated that “Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) said: The Qur’an
angel Gabriel brought to the Muhammad (PBUH) was of seventeen thou-
sand verses”.(2)
5) Ali bin Ahmad Abu Al-Qasim Al-Kufi (d. 352). He confirmed his
statement with the general consensus of his Shiites, saying: “All Muslims
and Scholars amongst both lay man and special people have consensually
agreed that this Qur’an with us today is not the complete Qur’an and parts
are not in the Qur’an we have today. Buttressing what we just said is the fact
that Uthman had things in the Qur’an that wasn’t going down well with him,
and thus, he erased then from the Qur’an with the people. This is enough
evidence for his pigheadedness towards Allah and His Prophet (PBUH)”.(3)
6) Furat bin Ibrahim Al-Kufi (d. 352). He fabricated that Abu Ja’far
Al-Baaqir said: “this was how this verse was revealed by Angel Gabriel [How
wretched is that for which they sold themselves - that they would disbelieve
in what Allah has revealed through [their] outrage about Ali]”.(4)
7) Muhammad bin Ibrahim An-Nu’maani (d. 380). He fabricated against
Al-Asbagh bin Nubaatah that he said: “I heard Ali (Allah be pleased with
him) saying: It is as if I am in the midst of non-Arabs in their tents within
the mosque of Kufa teaching people the Qur’an as it was revealed. I then
said: is it not as it was revealed? He replied: No. Seventy names from Quraish
and those of their ancestors have been deleted from it, and only that of Abu
Lahab was left just to scorn the Prophet (PBUH) as he is his uncle”.(5)

in his book, ‘Awaa’il Al-Maqaalaat’ p. 46, the consensus of his Shiite scholars
on this view of disbelief. He said: “And the Imamiyyah (Shiites) consensually
agreed that the strayed Imams(1) deviated so much in writing the Qur’an.
They deviated from the path of revelation and sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH).
However, the Mu’tazilites, Kharjites, Zaidiyyah, Murjites and people of
hadeeth consensually agreed on the contrary to the Imamiyyah Shiites in
all we just listed”.(2)
He also fabricated against Abu Ja’far (Allah be pleased with him) that he
said: “Whenever the flag bearer (or guardian) of the Prophet’s family (Allah
be pleased with them) he shall pitch tents for teaching the people the Qur’an
as it was revealed by Allah. Thus, it is very difficult for me to memorize it

Note: The Shiite scholars use the alphabet “‫‘( ”ع‬ain) after mentioning their Imams as a
short form of ‫( عليه السالم‬On him be peace). This is solemnly reserved for Ali and their
other Imams without any evidence. At the same time, they make use of “‫( ”ص‬saad) as a
short form for ‫( صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). This is a vivid
shortcoming regarding the right of the Prophet (PBUH).

11) Abu Al-Hasan Al-’Amili (d.1140). He said: “Verily, the truth that is
as bright as day light based on the following huge number of narratives and
more is that this Qur’an in our possession has fallen victim of alterations
after the Prophet (PBUH). Those who collated it after him discarded of so
many words and verses. The only Qur’an that is safe and conforms with
how Allah revealed it is the one collated by Ali, which he protected until he
handed it over to his son Al-Hasan, and so on until it got to the flag bearer
(or guardian). The Qur’an is today with him (Allah be pleased with him)”.(1)
Towards the end of the thirteenth century, the greatest humiliation

occurred:
This was when their most revered Shiekh, Husein An-nouri At-Tabrasi
(d. 1320) authored his voluminous book in which he gathered all the beliefs of
their scholars on this issue. He entitled the book “Fasl Al-Khitaab fee Tahreef
Kitaab Rabb Al-Arbaab” (Unmistakable Judgment about Alteration of the
Book of the Lord of Lords). He stated in its introduction: “This is a nice and
noble book. I prepared it to confirm the alteration of Qur’an and disgrace
the oppressors and enemies. I called it: ‘Fasl Al-Khitaab fee Tahreef Kitaab
Rabb Al-Arbaab’ (Unmistakable Judgment about Alteration of the Book of
the Lord of Lords). I designed it into three introductions and two chapters.
I deposited in it what soothes the mind of great wisdom. I seek the mercy of
He Who’s mercy is sought by the erring to benefit me with it on a Day when
neither wealth nor children would be of any help”.(2)
This book became an everlasting defamation on the Shiites.
E nquiry 10: We request you to kindly summarize the belief of Shiite

scholars about alteration of the Qur’an, its incompleteness and
additions.
Response: The following would be a brief summary of their scholars’

belief on the above subject:
1) Their sheikh, Al-Mufeed, said: “I say: Reports are so numerous from
leaders of guidance amongst the family of Muhammad (PBUH) stating the
discrepancies in the Qur’an and what some oppressors did to it by deletion
and subtraction”.(3)

rence of some alteration in the Qur’an…).
(2) Fasl Al-Khitaab fee Tahreef Kitaab Rabb Al-Arbaab, p. 1.
(3) Awaa’il Al-Maqaalaat, pp. 80-81 (Al-Qaul fee Ta’leef Al-Qur’an wa maa Dhakara
Qaumun min Az-Ziyaadah wa An-Nuqsaan).
49
He also said: “And the Imamiyyah (Shiites) consensually agreed that

the strayed Imams deviated so much in writing the Qur’an. They deviated
from the path of revelation and sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH). However, the
Mu’tazilites, Kharjites, Zaidiyyah, Murjites and people of hadeeth consensu-
ally agreed on the contrary to the Imamiyyah Shiites in all we just listed”.(1)
2) Al-’Amili said: “My opinion on the authenticity of this view(2) is that
after scrutinizing reports and verifying narratives, it can be adjudged as
one of the necessities the Shiite belief and one of the grave evils of usurping
the khilafah”.(3)
3) Yahya, a student of Al-Karki and one of their scholars, stated in his
book “Al-Imaamah” (The Imamate), subheading “The Ninth Defamation
Against the Third”, that: “All Muslims amongst the general masses and spe-
cial ones unanimously agreed that this Qur’an in the possession of people
today is not complete. Some portions of the (original) Qur’an is not included
in what is with the people”.(4)
4) Adnaan Al-Bahraani (d. 1347) said: “There is more than the already
mentioned reports, which are so much that they exceed the level of tawa-
tur. There would be little or no gain quoting them all, since after looking at
narratives from both parties, it is found to be an incontrovertible matters
among the companions and those after them. In fact, it is the consensus
among the right group and a necessity in their beliefs”.(5)
As-Sabzawaari, who is one of their scholars, reported that anyone who
disagrees with this belief is a disbeliever. He said: “Such a person is a disbe-
liever for rejecting what has been confirm to be a necessity of the religion”.
He also said: “He is a disbeliever for denying a necessity of the Sharee’ah”.(6)

said: “As for rejecting that which is confirmed a necessity in the belief of the Imamiyyah

5) Al-Majlisi said: “But his companions (PBUH) did what the people of
Musa (Moses) did. They followed the (status of a) calf of this nation and its
Samiri – I mean Abubakar and Umar. Hence, the hypocrites usurped the
khilafah of the Prophet (PBUH) from his (rightful) owner and altered the
Book revealed by Allah in the manner they liked”.(1)
He also said: “So many reports will come later to show that a lot of verses
were deleted from the Qur’an”.(2)
6) Al-’Amili said: “It was narrated in so many visits and invocations, such
as that of Ghadeer and the dual idols of Makkah others, explicit expressions
on the corruption and alteration of the Qur’an after the Prophet (PBUH).
Twenty-one reports were narrated confirming this belief of alteration”.(3)
7) At-Tabrasi said regarding reports on defaming the Qur’an that “They
(i.e. narratives to this effect) are very numerous, to the extent that Ni’mat-
ullah Al-Jazaa’iri stated, as reported in some of his works that “reports
depicting that fact count beyond two thousand”.(4)
He also said: “The Eleventh Evidence: On confirming alteration in the
Qur’an and the numerous accepted and explicit reports about occurrence
of omission and subtraction in the Qur’an available. In addition to the
earlier stated separately stated evidences, it is much smaller than the miracle
revealed to the leader of both Mankind and Jinn without a single verse or
surat specialized for the family. However, it is scattered all over reliable books
upon which our people rely. I have gathered what I could lay my hands on
regarding this issue by the grace of Allah”.(5)
8) Ni’matullah Al-Jazaa’iri said: “Verily, accepting the overwhelming
number of reports about the revelation being from Allah and that the Arch
Angel brought it in a whole translates into discarding the numerous reports
that clearly depict the occurrence of inflectional, speech and substance alter-
Shiites, such a person is placed with the opponentsand has exited the religion of the pristine
Imams”. Al-Aqaa’id p. 57 (Chapter One: On what is related to fundamentals of Beliefs”.

ation in the Qur’an, whilst our people (Allah be pleased with them) have
consensually agreed that they are authentic and confirmed”.(1)
Comment:
Allah says: “ And those who disbelieve say, “Do not listen to this Qur’an
and speak noisily during [the recitation of] it that perhaps you will over-
come.” [Fussilat: 26]. He also said: “ Indeed, it is We who sent down the
Qur’an and indeed, We will be its guardian” [Al-Hijr: 9]. And elsewhere: “
And indeed, it is a mighty Book. Falsehood cannot approach it from before
it or from behind it; [it is] a revelation from a [Lord who is] Wise and Praise-
worthy.” [Fussilat: 41-42]
E nquiry 11: Are reports stating that the Qur’an is altered and incom-
plete up to tawaatur as claimed by Shiite scholars?
Response: Yes.
Abdullah Shubbar, an icon amongst their scholars, said: “The Qur’an
revealed to the Prophet (PBUH) is more than what is in our possession
today. Much of it has been omitted, as stated by numerous reports that
are almost up to tawaatur. We have explicated this in our book “Maniyyat
Al-Muhassileen fee Haqqiyyat Tareeqat Al-Mujtahideen”.(2)
The Mortal Blow:
They reported concerning the verse “ And if you disagree over anything,
refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the
Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result” [An-Nisaa: 59] that Ali
(Allah be pleased with him) said “referring to Allah means taking to the
sturdy of the Qur’an”.(3)

That is because he believes that the Qur’an is protected against any

form of alteration.
It is enough a fact to reject the lies narrated by scholars of the Rafidites
(the Rejecters) that Ali bin Abi Talib – who to most of them is a deity and the
creator; a prophet to some and an infallible Imam to the rest – lived five years
and nine months as a khalifah obeyed by the people and had commanding
powers while the Qur’an was being recited all over in mosques. He led the
people in prayers reciting the same Qur’an with copies of the Qur’an were
under him. Even he found alterations in it, would he had accepted that from
them as claimed by scholars of Shiites? Thereafter came his son Al-Hasan
(Allah be pleased with him) who remained with the people just like his father
did. How could it then occur to these set of traitors and lairs that a word in
the Qur’an was altered, subtracted or added?!! Verily, waging war against
those who altered the Qur’an and Islam would have been of more importance
to him than fighting the people of Levant who only disagreed with him in
an opinion. Therefore, the lies of the Shiite scholars has become crystal clear
upon undoubted evidence . to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, be the glory.
In fact, the just ones among the Jews and Christians stated that the
Qur’an was never altered, not by addition nor subtraction. This is opposite
of what Shiite scholars claim.
The French scientist Lobelia says: “ The Qur’an is today the only divine
Book that has no single alteration”.(1)
The Jewish Scholar, Lwair, says: “The Qur’an collated by Uthman has
been transmitted from hand to hand until it got to us without any alteration.
It was protected with great concern so that not a single change could be traced
to it. In fact, we can say that if there has been no single alteration traced to
any of all the uncountable copies found in the vast Islamic world, then there
must have been only one single Qur’an for all the different contending sects
of Islam. This general use of a single text accepted by all is considered the
greatest evidence and proof that the current text available to us today is the
authentic revealed text, which can be traced back to the troubled khalifah,
Uthman”.(2)
E nquiry 12: Can you kindly provide us with examples of statements

in which scholars of Shiites proclaimed their belief of alteration in
the Qur’an.

by Dr. Muhammad Abdullah Diraaz, Dar Al-Qalam, Kuwait (1413).
(2) Ibid.

Response: Yes. Amonst them is “Surat Al-Wilaayah” (The Chapter of

Government). They fabricated that the government of Ali (Allah be pleased
with him) was stated in the chapter, and that Allah said in their Qur’an:
“O you who believe! Believe in the prophet and successor both of which we
sent to guide you to the right path. A prophet and a successor who are the same,
and I am the All-Knowing the All-wise. Verily, those who fulfill the covenant of
Allah will have (as reward) Jannah. And for those who deny our verses whenever
they are recited to them will be a grave place in Hell. When they will be called
upon on the Day of Resurrection, where are the oppressors and deniers of the
messengers, whom the messengers left with truth. And it was not of Allah to
grant them victory except for an appointed time. The praised of your Lord will
be made to flow and Ali is a witness”.(1)
The great fabricator, An-Nouri At-Tabrasi, completed it as: “In the name of
Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. O you who believe! Believe in the two
lights which we have revealed reciting to you my verses and are warning you
against the punishment of the Day of Reckoning. Two light that are from each
other and I am the All-hearing and All-knowing. Verily, for those who fulfill
the covenant of Allah and His messenger in verse are gardens of Na’eem. And
those who disbelieved after believing by breaching their covenant with the
Messenger shall be thrown into Hell. They cheated themselves and disobeyed
the regent messenger; they shall be made to drink from Hameem. Surely,
Allah that chose to light the earth with whatever pleased Him and selected
from amongst the Angels and created them from among the believers those
of His creature. Allah does whatever He wills. There is no God except Him,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Those before them planned against
their messengers, and We took hold of them with their plan. Verily, my sei-
zure is firm and painful. Verily, Allah destroyed Aad and Thamood by what
they earned and He made of them examples that you may fear (Him). And
Pharaoh for his transgression against Moses and his brother Aaron, and We
drowned him and all with him. This is to serve as a sign, as most of you are
sinful. Verily, Allah will gather them on the Day of Resurrection and they
will not be able to reply when being asked. Surely, Hell is their abode and
Allah is All-knowing, All-wise. O messenger! Deliver my warning as they
will work. Those who turned away from my signs and judgment are losers.
A similitude of those who fulfill your covenant I will reward with Garden
of Na’eem. Verily, Allah possesses great reward and forgiveness. And verily,
Ali is amongst the pious ones. And We shall grant him his full right on the
Day of Reckoning. We are not unaware of his oppression. And we honoured
him above all your family. Verily, he and his progeny shall be patient. And
their enemy is the leader of the criminals. Say to those who disbelieved
after believing: you sought the beauty of the world and were hasty in that
(1) Tadhkirat Al-A’immah, pp. 9-10 by Al-Majlisi; Fasl Al-Khitaab p. 107 by An-Nouri.
54
and you forgot you promise to Allah and His Messenger, and you breached
covenants after assurance, and we have showed you examples perhaps you
may be guided. O Messenger! We have sent down unto you clear verses (or
signs and evidences) amongst which is that who dies as a believer, is there
anyone after you to support him. Therefore, turn away from them because
they turned away. We shall get them presented on a day when nothing will
save them and they will not be shown mercy. Verily, they will have an abode
in Hell which they will never abstain from. Therefore, glorify the Name of
your Lord and be amongst those who prostrate. Verily, we send Moses and
Aaron with what was entrusted, but they oppressed Aaron and a wonderful
patience (he had). We made of them monkeys and pigs, and cursed them
until the Last Day. Be patient and they shall (also) be patient. We have given
to you the government just like those before you among the Messengers. And
we gave to you, from them, a trust, perhaps they may return. And anyone
who turns away from this matter of mine, I will surely cause him to return
(back to me), so let them enjoy their disbelief for a while and do not question
about the covenant breakers. O Messenger! We have granted you covenant
binding on the believer, so take it and be grateful. Surely, Ali was obedient, in
prostrating all night while being afraid of the Hereafter and seeking reward
from his Lord. Say: can we equate those who oppressed while fully aware of
my punishment? Shackles will be placed over their necks while they regret
over their deeds. Verily, we gave you glad tidings of his pious family. And
they will carry out our command. From me to them are blessings and mercy
be they dead or alive until the day they are resurrected. And upon those
who oppress them after you is my anger as they are evil people and losers.
And upon those who took to their footstep is mercy from me and they will
be secured in rooms. And all praised are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds”.(1)
Their sheikh An-Nouri At-Tabrasi then commented by saying: “Verily,
Sheikh Muhammad bin Ali Shahr Ashoub Al-Maazandaraani mentioned
in his book “Al-Mathaalib”, as reported from him, that Surat Al-Wilaayah
(Chapter of Government) was omitted in its entirety. And perhaps, this is
the chapter and Allah knows best”.(2)
Comment:
These ill knitted words from some phrases of the Glorious Qur’an and
the subject matter is exactly what has given the Shiites scholars sleepless
nights. The Qur’an being free from mentioning their errors and delusion,
they decided to fabricated all these with the view to stating that Ali (Allah be
pleased with him) is the regent and Imam assigned by God after the prophet
(1) Fasl Al-Khitaab pp. 107-108.
(2) Ibid. p. 108.
55
(PBUH) and also that the companions disbelieved by not allowing Ali his
real position. However, Allah has stated: “Say, “If mankind and the jinn
gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce
the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants.” [Al-Israa’: 88]
Of it also is Al-Kulaini’s fabrication, where he said: “On the authority
of Jaabir, who said: This was how this verse was revealed to Muhammad
(PBUH) by Angel Gabriel “And if you are in doubt about what We have sent
down upon Our Servant about Ali, then produce a surah the like thereof”.(1)
He also fabricated against Abu Ja’far that he said this following verse
was originally revealed as “ But if they had done what they were instructed
about Ali, it would have been better for them”.(2)
He also lied that Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) said the
verse “And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger in the rule of Ali and
that of the Imams after him has certainly attained a great attainment” was
originally revealed this way.(3)
He again lied that Abdullah bin Sinaan said that Abu Abdullah swore by
Allh that the following verse was originally revealed to Muhammad as “ And
We had already taken a promise from Adam before, words about Muham-
mad, Ali, Fatimah, Al-Hasan, Al-Husein and the Imams, but he forgot”.(4)
He also fabricated that “Abu Abdullah said about this verse “And you
will [come to] know, O you rejecters after informing you of my Lord’s Message
about the government of Ali and the Imams after him, who it is that is in clear
error.” that this was how it was revealed.(5)
He also fabricated against Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Abi Nasr that
he said: “Abu Al-Hasan handed over a mushaf to me and said: “Do not look

at it”. But I opened it and read in it “Those who disbelieved were not…” and
I found in it names of seventy men from Quraish and their ancestors. He
said: “He then sent for me and asked me return the mushaf to him”.(1)
He also fabricated that “Abu Al-Hasan said: “The Rule of Ali is written in
every book sent to the prophets. And Allah will never send a prophet except
with the prophethood of Muhammad and the regency of Ali”.(2)
They fabricated that Allah said: “Verily, Ali collated it and its reading.
And when he reads it, follow his reading”.(3)
Their icon, An-Nouri At-Tabrasi lied against Ibn Mas’ood that it was
reported that he rejected Surat Al-Fatihah and the last two chapters of the
Qur’an to be part of the Qur’an”.(4)
Al-Kaashaani said: “The substance in all these reports and others from
narratives of the family of the prophet is that the Qur’an in our possession is not
complete as it was revealed to Muhammad (PBUH). In fact, in it we have what
wasn’t originally there and some altered. So many things have been deleted from
it, such as the name of Ali in so many places. [Also deleted were the words ‘Al
Muhammad’ (i.e. family of Muhammad) from more than one place and names
of the hypocrites].(5) It is also not in the arrangement pattern acceptable to Allah
and His Messenger”.(6)
Al-Khumaini said: “We have in the Qur’an Surat Al-Munaafiqoon (Chapter
of the Hypocrites) and not Surat Al-Kaafiroon (Chapter of the Disbelievers)”.(7)

And when he was asked about the reason for not having the name of Ali
mentioned in the Qur’an as well as stipulating his government, he replied:
“The prophet reframed from mentioning the Imamate in the Qur’an for fear
of not making the Qur’an a target for alteration after him…”.(1)
Important Comment:
In the above mentioned reports, the Shiite scholars clearly bear witness
that in the Qur’an is no mention of their Imams and Imamate, and thus,
they had no escape route other than to claim that the Qur’an was altered
or manipulated by addition or subtraction and also making it compulsory
on their masses as a fundamental of their belief. This is why their scholar
Al-Majlisi stated in his earlier quoted report that the reports confirming
alteration of the Qur’an are just as numerous as those confirming the Imam-
ate, because if alteration of the Qur’an is not confirmed, the claim of Imamate
is also void; and at that, the other fundamentals of the Shiite beliefs are null
and void. Al-Majlisi was right, because alteration, the issue of Imamate and
others being acclaimed by Shiite scholars were never confirmed. Allah has
rightly said: “And it was not [possible] for this Qur’an to be produced by other
than Allah, but [it is] a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed
explanation of the [former] Scripture, about which there is no doubt, from
the Lord of the worlds. Or do they say [about the Prophet], “He invented it?”
Say, “Then bring forth a surah like it and call upon [for assistance] whomever
you can besides Allah, if you should be truthful.” [Yunus: 37-38]
E nquiry 13: Then, what is the correct number of verses of the Qur’an
as believed by the Shiite scholars? And do they agree on any?
Response: No. In fact, they disagree over it.

Al-Kalbi fabricated that “Hisham bin Saalim reported that Abu Abdullah
(Allah be pleased with him) said: Verily, the Qur’an angel Gabriel brought to
Muhammad (PBUH) was of seventeen thousand verses”.(2) And this fallacy has
been claimed to be authentic! Al-Majlisi said: “This report is authentic”.(3)
Al-Maazandiri said: “Omission of parts of the Qur’an and its alteration
are confirmed in numerous narratives from our paths in by understanding, as

being comprehended by anyone who ponders over books of hadeeth from the
beginning to the end”.(1)
Al-Majlisi said: “Surely, this report and many other authentic narratives
on the incompleteness of the Qur’an and its alteration are explicit”.(2)
Comment:
This fallacy was fabricated by Shiite scholars to be initially “seven thou-
sand verses”.(3) The number later evolved into “ten thousand verses”.(4) The
number thereafter increased in their open auction to “seventeen thousand
verses”.(5) The auction further increased to “eighteen thousand verses”(6) and
the development is still on till date!!
E nquiry 14: What is the position of the modern Twelvier Sect of

Shites on their creed that the holy Quran was distorted and altered?
Response: The modern scholars of the Twelver Sect of Shites are divided
into four groups in this regards:
The First Group is that of those who deny the existence of any such
believe in their Shi’ite books, among them are:
Abdul-Hissain Al-Aminie Al-Najafi (1392), who replied the statement of
Imam Ibnu Hazm (may Allah mercy him) that: the Shi’ite scholars mention
that the Quran is altered:, he said “If only this bold one could refer to this
in any reliable book of the Shi’ite, or narration of any reliable scholar from
among the scholar of Shi’ism or any student of knowledge who learned
from such scholars even if he is not well known to most of them. Rather, we
descend with him to have made a statement of the ignorant among them,

or that of a villager or a this as a talkative… and the entire sects of Shite,

prominent among them is the Imamate do agree that what is in the Quran
is the Book, without any doubts.(1)
Comments:
Allah the Almighty has made Abdul-Hussain Al-Najafi to speak without
knowing and made him present a forged verse in the same book of his(2) :
“Today I have completed for you your religion with his Imamate (leadership)
and who does not follow his leadership and by that of my children from his
loins until the day of Judgment, his deeds will be lost and in Hell he shall
dwell forever. Iblis (Satan, the accursed) out of jealousy brought Adam
(peace be upon him) out of the Paradise notwithstanding he (Adam) was
Allah’s chosen one. You should therefore not jealous else your deeds will be
lost and your feet may slip.”
And Al-Najafi claimed that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: that
the verse was revealed talking about Ali bin Abi Talib(3), and see him, may
Allah disgrace him, ascribing children to Allah, and bringing forth what
even the Jews and Christians and other Polytheists never did by making false
claims on Allah that He (SWT) said: “from among my children from his
loins until the day of Judgment”, therefore, their Imams are children (sons)
of God!? And from the loins of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)!? We
seek refuge in Allah from Polytheism and Polytheists. Allah says:
“And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. Assuredly
ye utter a disastrous thing. Whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the
earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins, That ye ascribe unto
the Beneficent a son, When it is not meet for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent
that He should choose a son. There is none in the heavens and the earth but
cometh unto the Beneficent as a slave. Verily He knoweth them and num-
bereth them with (right) numbering. And each one of them will come unto
Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone.” (Maryam 84 -95).
The Second Group: those who accept that there are alterations in the
Quran and they try to justify them.
A category among them says that narrations about distortions: “they
are weak and bizarre, and narrations from single individuals do not connote

knowledge nor action, it is therefore either interpreted to fit some sort of

considerations or discarded.”(1)
Comment:
What do they reply to what their elders say about the narrations on
the existence of alterations/distortions, deficiency and addition in Quran
that they are thorough and frequent, and what they say about those who
narrated about distortions in the Quran and showed his belief in it does not
deserve to be trusted.
And a second category among them says that the narrations are strong
and established, but “what is meant in regards to narrations about distor-
tions from their sayings (peace be upon them) “That is how it was revealed”,
is the explanation according to the revelation versus the interpretation)(2).
Comment:
This buttresses their claim of distortions in the Quran and not in its
defense. How therefore can the interpretations of the companions (may Allah
be pleases with them) be seen as distortion in the view of these group while
the distortions made by their scholars such as; Al-Qummi, Al-Kulaini and
Al-Majlisi be the correct interpretation!??
The third category from among their scholars says that the meaning of
that is abrogation” (or it(3) is from what its recitation has been abrogated)(4).
The Embarrassment:
But the Sheikh of Shi’ism today who they call the Greatest Sheikh, and
the Greatest Sign, the leader and possessor of knowledge and their greatest
reference , Abu Al-Qasim Al-Musawi Al-Houthi ssaid: (the view that some
recitation are abrogated is by its self a statement of distortion and omission).(5)
Meanwhile, the difference is glaring between distortion and abrogation.
Distortion is from humans and Allah has rebuked anyone who does so, while
abrogation is from Allah the Almighty. Allah says:
(1) Aslu Al-Shi’ah Wa Usooluha, Page 67 (Prophethood).
(2) Al-Mizan fi Tafseer Al-Quran 12/108 (discuss on the fact that the Quran is protected
against distortion, Chapter two, by Mohammed Al-Hussein Tabatabai.
(3) That is the additional number on the original Qur’an.
(4) Al-Waafi 9/1781.
(5) Al-Banyan Fi Tafseer Al-Quran, page 205 (Siyanatul-Quran Min Al-Tahreef: Muslims’
opinion s about distortions in the Quran.

“Nothing of our revelation (even a single verse) do we abrogate or cause

be forgotten, but we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest
thou not that Allah is Able to do all things?” (Q 02:106).
And this does not mean that it affects the Book of Allah in any way.
And a forth category say that: the Quran present with us does not
have distortions but is incomplete, it is short of what has to do with the
greatness of the Amirul-Mu’mineen, (it would have been best that he titled
the research as decrease in revelation or state out right that there is some
other revelation or not so that the unbelievers will not be able to mislead the
weak ones that there are distortions in the book of Islam as some Muslim
sects acknowledge)(1).
Comment:
This view just like the previous one does not defend the Quran but
buttressing that there are distortions and omissions in the Quran.
And the fifth category says that: we believe in this Quran, and there are
no shortage or additions, that “we the Twelver Sect of Shi’ite acknowledge
that there is a Quran written by Imam Ali with his hands after burying the
prophet and discharging his commandments…and all the other Imams have
preserved it as a divine deposit until it gets to Imam Al-Mahdi, may Allah
hasten our comfort by his coming)(2).
Comments:
This owner of this view acknowledges that there is another Quran, we
seek refuge in Allah from disbelieve and deception.
The third group: Those who openly deny any deficiency or distortion
in the Quran while trying to establish that in cunning ways.
The most malicious among those who toe this way from their Sheikh
Al-Khouthi the reference of Shi’ah from Iraq and some other places in his
translation of Al-Bayan, he states: that the prevalent among the Shi’ite
scholars, rather the subsistent among them is the view that there are no
distortions (in the Quran).(3)
Comment:
But this Al-Khouthi sees the authenticity of some narrations about the
Quran having distortions in it and states as follows: (that the high number
of narrations makes one belief that some of it came from the infallibles (may
(1) Al-Dharie’ah Fi Tasaneef Al-Shei’ah, 3/214 number 1151.

(3) Al-Bayaan fee Tafseer Al-Qur’an p. 201.
62
Allah’s prayers be upon them), and no less than reassurance, and in it are
those narrated by respectable sources).(1)
Al-khouthi who denies the belief of his Sheikhs that the Quran is defi-
cient hereby establishes his belief in another Quran belonging to or authored
by Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in which there are additions not in the
present Book of Allah, and he says: (the fact that there is a Quran belonging
to the Ameer Al-Mumineen (Ali) which is different from the present Quran
in terms of the arrangement of its chapters is what should not be doubted,
and the agreement of our scholar on this has saved us further stress of trying
to establish the fact. Likewise its having additions not in the present Quran,
even if they are correct, it does not actually mean that the additions were
part of the Quran and were omitted via distortion. But most correct view is
that these additions are actually interpretations and explanations)(2)
And he claims that the Ummah, and the companions especially have
misinterpreted the meanings of the verses of the Quran, but the distortions
of Al-Kulaini, Al-Qummi and Al-Ayashi are the real and accurate inter-
pretations of the book of Allah! How can this be when all the sheikhs of
Al-Qummi attested to his interpretation Al-Qummi and he had filled his
interpretations with narrations on the distortion of the Quran. Al-Khouthy
says: ( for this, we rule attest to the dignity of all the Sheikhs of Ali bin
Ibrahim from whom he got the narrations in his interpretation of the Quran
while the chain of narrators end with one of the infallibles)(3).
The Scandal:
Al-Khouthi has disgraced himself by exposing his belief in distortions
in the Quran saying: that(the Ummah after the prophet (peace be upon him)
had changed some words and replaced them with others, among which are:
what was narrated by Ali bin Ibrahim Al-Qummi from Huraiz bin Abi
Abdullah” (Sirata MAN an’amta alaihim, ghairil-Maghdubi ‘alaihim, WA
GHAIR al-Dalieen), and that narrated by Al-Ayyash from Hisham bin Salim
who said: I asked Abu Abdullah about the verse:
“Lo! Allah preferred Adam and Noah and the Family of Abraham and
the Family of ´Imran above (all His) creatures. “And he said: they are the
family of Ibrahim (AS) the family of Muhammad above all His creatures,

(2) Ibid, page 223 (Siyanatul-Quran Min Al-Tahreef: Misconceptions of those who believe
there are distortions in the Quran.
(3) Mu’jam Rijaal Al-Hadith, 1/49 (second introduction).
63
they replaced a word with another “, that is to say that: they made some
changes and replaced the family of Muhammad with the family of Imran)(1)
The Forth Group: Those who openly proclaim this disbelief and giving
evidence with it: and the one who taked lead in this Polytheism from among
the Shiites scholars is Hussein Al-Nouri Al-Tabrasi (1320) who authored the
book (Faslu Al-Khitab Fi Tahreef Kitab Rabb Al-Alameen) in a bid to confirm
the belief of Shiite scholars in this disbelief! In this his book, he gathered and
collected all the divergent opinions of the Shiite scholars and the distorted
verses according to their belief, he gathered all of these and published them
in one book. And this book was published in Iran in the year 1298.
E nquiry 15: Did any one of the prominent Shiite Scholars opine that
there are silly and ridiculous verses in the Quran?
Response: Yes!! Al-Nouri Al-Tabrasi had said that: (and in view of the
different systems such as the clarity and eloquence of some of its paragraphs
to the extreme limit of being miracle, and the silliness of some others. And
viewing the different classes/degrees of eloquence they reach some of the
highest degrees while others reach some of the lowest of degrees)(2).
Commwnt:
The Shiite scholars have declared their books to be free from silliness
and ridiculousness! Thanks be to Allah who has said: “ Those who disbe-
lieve say: Heed not this Qur´an, and drown the hearing of it; haply ye may
conquer.” (Fussilat:26).
The Noble Quran houses much of eloquence and oratory and met all
the requirements of eloquent speech in all its chapters, verses and choice of
words. Allah says: “That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger,
It is not poet´s speech - little is it that ye believe! Nor diviner´s speech -
little is it that ye remember! It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.”
(Al-Haaqqah: 40-43).
Definitely, from among the miracle of the Quran is its wonderful systems
contrary to all systems common in the Arabic Language and other languages
because its language system is not of poetry. Allah says: “ And We have not
taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else
than a Reminder and a plain Quran” (Yasin : 69).

64
E nquiry 16: Could you please mention some examples of interpre-

tations of verses by Shiite Scholars?
Response: Yes, the Shiites interpret the Quran with their scholars!!
Their Sheikh Al-Kulaini fabricated the following: (On the authority
of Abu Khalid Al-Kabily who said: I asked Abu Ja’afar about the saying of
Allah the most High “So believe in Allah and His messenger and the light
which We have revealed”. (At-Taghabun : 8), and he said: O Abu Khalid, the
Light by Allah are the Imams from the household of Muhammad (SAW)
until the day of resurrection. And they are, by Allah the light of Allah which
He revealed!! And they are, by Allah the light of Allah in the heavens and
earth)(1).
And Al-Qummi falsified in his Tafseer (interpretation of) the verses:
Alif. Lam. Mim. This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance
unto the pious believers. (Baqarah: 1-2), on the authority of Abu Basirah
who narrated from Abu Abdullah who said: the Book is Ali (RA) without
doubts, “a guidance to the pious believers” he said; “a declaration/procla-
mation for our Shiism)”.(2)
☐☐ Similarly, they interpret Al-Nur (light) as their Imams!
Al-Kulaini falsified saying: (Abu Abdullah interpreted the saying of
Allah the Almighty: “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The
similitude of His light is as (if there were) a niche,” that is Fatimah (RA),
“and within it a lamp” , that is Al-Hassan, “the lamp is in a glass” that is
Al-Hussain, “the glass as it were a brilliant star”, that Fatimah is a brilliant
star among the women on earth, “lit from a blessed tree” that is Ibrahim,
“an Olive, neither of the East nor of the West” that is not Jewish or Chris-
tian”, “whose oil would almost glow forth” that it almost got burst from
much knowledge, “though no fire touched it, light upon light”, that is one
Imam after from them after the other, “Allah guides to His Light whom He
wills” that is, Allah guides to the Imams whom He wills, “And Allah sets
up parables for mankind”)(3).
☐☐ And they interpret verses on polytheism to refer to polytheism in the
mandate of Ali bin Abi Talib or disbelieve in his mandate.
(1) Usool Al-Kafi, 1/139 (Chapter, that the Imams are light of Allah, Ta’weel Al-Ayat
Al-Dhahirah fi Fadail Al-Asharah Al-Djhahirah, 3/696.
(2) Tafeer Al-Qummi, page 33 (Surat Al-Baqara) Tafseer Nur Al-Thaqalain 1/26 (Surat
Al-Baqara).
(3) Usoul Al-Kafi 1/140, Kitab Al-Hujjah, Vol 5, Chapter on the fact that the Imams are
light from Allah.
65
Al-Qummi also falsely claimed that Abu Ja’afar said – God forbid -
regarding the verse: “And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad)
as it was to those before you: “if you join others in worship with Allah,”
(Al-Zumar : 65), that it means: if you order a mandate for someone else with
that of Ali mandate after your demise, “(then) surely your deeds shall be in
vain and you shall be among the losers)(1).
Al-Kulaini fabricated that, on the authority of Abu Abdullah regarding
the verse: And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad) as it was
to those before you: “if you join others in worship with Allah, (then) surely
your deeds shall be in vain and you shall be among the losers), that it means
if you associate others with his (Ali’s) mandate)(2).
Al-Ayyashi fabricated that, as narrated by Abu Ja’afar who said: regard-
ing the saying of Allah: “Verily, Allah forgives not that partners be set up
with him (in worship)” that it means He will not forgive him who disbelieves
in the mandate of Ali. And as per the saying of Allah: “…but He forgives
except that (anything else) for whom He wills”, that it refers to those who
befriend and give allegiance to Ali)(3).
☐☐ And they interpret verses instructing the worship of Allah Alone and
abstaining from Taghut to mean the mandate of their Imams and repu-
diation of their enemies.
They lied against Abu Ja’afar that he said, may God forbid, that “Allah
has never sent a messenger except with our mandate and distancing from
our enemy, and that is being referred to by the verse: “And verily, we have
sent among evry Ummah a Messenger (proclaiming): “worship Allah (alone)
and keep away from Taghout (all false deities)”. Then of them were some
whom Allah guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was
justified” for their enial of the prophet’s household)(4).
They also lied on Abu Abdullah that he said – God forbid, regarding
the verse”
“And Allah said (O mankind): “Take not two gods in worship” (Al-Nahl :
51), that it means do not take or follow two Imams, he is surely one Imam)(5).

66
☐☐ And they interpret the verses revealed about the unbelievers and hyp-
ocrites to refer to the great companions of the prophet.
They lied on Abu Abdullah that he said, may God forbid he said such,
in the interpretation of the verse:
“And those who disbelieved will [then] say, “Our Lord, show us those
who misled us of the jinn and men [so] we may put them under our feet that
they will be among the lowest.” (Fussilat : 29), that the two of them are…,
and he then said: and so and so was a Shaytan).
Their great scholar Al-Majlisi said: “those” referred to here are Abubakar
and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and that the “so-and-so” is
Umar that is the Jinni mentioned in the verse is Umar. He (Umar) was called
so because he was a Shaytan, either for sharing the attribute of Shaytan of
being a bastard, or because he was so good at deception and deceit just like
Shaytan. And for the latter, the opposite is likely, that the one referred to as
so-and-so is Abubakar)(1).
They also lied that (Abu Bashir narrated on the authority of Abu Abdul-
lah in the interpretation of the verse: “And do not follow the steps of Shaytan”,
that it refers to the mandate of the second and the first)(2).
And upon Abu Ja’afar they lied to have interpreted the verse: “They
believe in Jibt wa Taghut” (Nisa : 51), to be (so-and-so persons)(3).
Their Sheikh Al-Majlisi said that: (the persons referred to as “so-and-so
persons” are Abubakar and Umar)(4).
☐☐ And they interpret days and months to be their Imams?!
They fabricated narration on the (authority of Al-Baqir regarding the
interpretation of the verse: “Surely the number of months …”, that he said:
the months are twelve and they are the Ameer Al-Mumineen and the other
Imams that came after him…, “among them are four sacred months”, that
four of them with one name and they are Ali Ameer Almumineen, Abu Ali
bin Al-Hassan, and Ali bin Musa and Ali bin Muhammad)(5).
The also lied on Abu Hassan Al-Askari that he said that: (Al-Sabt – Sat-
urday- is the name of the Messenger of Allah, while Sunday is the nickname
of Ali, and Monday is Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein, Tuesday is Ali bin Al-Has-
san, Muhammad bin Ali and Ja’afar bin Muhammad; Wednesday is Musa

bin Ja’afar, Ali bin Musa, Muhammad bin Ali and me; and Thursday is my
son Al-Hassan bin Ali, and Friday is my grandson…)(1).
The Scandal:
They have issued some narrations in which aspersions were cast on
some of the days of the week! Among these is the lie (on the authority of
Abu Abdullah who said: Saturday is for us and Sunday for our disciples, and
Monday is for our enemies, Tuesdays for Bani Umayyahk while Wednesday
is for taking medication…)(2).
As they lied on Musa bin Ja’afar to have said: (There is no day that is
bad omened like Monday)(3).
Contradiction:
They lied that Ameer Al-Mumineen Ali bin Abi Talib said, may God
forbid, that: (whoever dies on Tuesday from among the believers Allah will
resurrect him along with us in the Most High Companion)(4).
The Blow that broke the backbones of Shiite Scholars:

Debasement has taken over the Shiite scholars to the extent that they
interpreted insects mentioned in the Quran to be Ali bi Abi Talib! For
instance, the verse: “Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable
even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger than it” (Baqara : 26)
Al-Qummi has lied against Abu Abdullah that he have said: (the mosquito
is Ameer Al-mumineen, i.e. Ali bin Abi Talib)(5).
E nquiry 17: How do the Shiite scholars interpret the verse (And to
Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the
company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will
be recompensed for what they have been doing.”? (A’araf : 180)
Response: The Shiite scholars have slandered by narrating (on the

authority of Al-Rida who said: if hardship befalls you then invoke and
supplicate by us (in our names) to Allah, and that is the meaning of Allah’s
(1) Al-Khisal, page 396

68
saying: “And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them”. And
he further said: Abu Abdullah said: By Allah, we are the names of Allah
through which no prayers are answered except by knowing us. He said: “so
invoke him by them”.(1)
E nquiry 18: What is the position of the view of the Twelve Imams
before the scholars of the Shiite School of thought?
Response: Their statements are viewed as reverend as that of Allah

and His Messenger. They said: (that the statement of every single one of
the Pure Imams is the statement of Allah the Almighty and there are no
discrepancies in their words as in that of Allah the Almighty)(2). The even
went to the extent to say that (it is allowed for anyone who heard a narra-
tion from Abu Abdullah can relate such on the authority of his father or
any of his grandfathers or even take it (as a direct revelation from Allah)
and narrate such as: “Allah said…” This is even more worthy, the Hadith:
(that Abu Basir said: I said to Abu Abdullah: Can I narrate the Hadith I
hear from you on the authority of your father, or the one I hear from your
father can I narrate it on your authority? He said: anyone is ok, only that
when you narrate it on the authority of my father is preferable to me! Abu
Abdullah said to Jameel: Anything you hear from me you can narrate t on
the authority of my father)(3).
Controversy:
Al-Kulaini himself narrated on the authority of Abu Abdullah who said;
“Beware of the bogus lie! And they asked him, and what is the bogus lie? He
said: for a man to relate to you a story and then you leave him and narrate
it on the authority of the one who related the story to you)(4).
And they said that (the Imamate is therefore an extension of Prophet-
hood)(5).
Their greatest Imam Al-Khumaini said: (the teachings of the Imams
is like that of the Quran, it is not restricted to a particular generation, its
(1) Tafseer Al-Ayyashi, and they are his own wordings, 2/45 fnte no 119

(5) Aqaaid Al-Imamah Fi Thoubihi Al-Jadeed, page 95
69
rather teaching to all of all time and place till the end of time. It is must be
discharged and followed)(1).
Muhammad Jawad Mughaniyah said: (the statement of the infallible and
his directive is exactly like revelation from Allah the All-Knowing, “Nor does
he speak of his own desire, it is only a revelation revealed.” (Najm: 3-4)(2).
Comment:
The Prophetic sayings continued according to their belief until the last
of their Imams? And has the emergence of Imams ended according to their
beliefs?
These narrations of theirs are clear evidences of their falsehood, as they
attribute to Ali what he never said, but rather said by one of his grandchil-
dren, it is even more worthy as seen in the previous narration.
E nquiry 19: What is the Sunnah (tradition) according to the scholars

of Shiite sect?
Response: the Sunah to them are the traditions of the infallibles (peace
be upon them)(3).
They said: “That is because they are the ones appointed by Allah, through
the words of the Prophet (PBUH) to deliver real judgments, and they pass
no judgments except as it is in reality before Allah”.(4)
Therefore, sunnah is not restricted to the traditions of the Prophet
(PBUH), the only one that is infallible!!
There are no differences in the childhood age and puberty age according
to the sayings of their twelve infallible Imams? Because, from among the
attributes of their Imam is that (he must be infallible, and that is one of the
most important and necessary prerequisites of Imamate, that he must be
infallible like the prophet, from all sorts of sins and vices both the hidden
and open, from childhood until death, intended or in error, as well as being
infallible from oversight, mistakes and forgetfulness)(5).

E nquiry 20: So, did the Prophet deliver the entire Message before
his death according to their belief?
Response: No! The prophet delivered only a portion of the entire Shariah
and entrusted the reaming to Ali (RA).
Their greatest sign Shihab Al-Deen Al-Najafi said: (that the Prophet’s
(SAW) opportunity to deliver the message became narrowed and did not
get the time to teach all the rulings of the religion. He presented war as the
fore-runner of his plenty engagements that could not allow him teach the
details of (the tenets of) the religion, especially with the none-readiness of
the people then to receive and digest all what was needed throughout the
centuries)(1).
Their greatest Imam Al-Khoumaini states that (it is clear that were the
Prophet to have delivered the message of the Imamate as Allah had directed
and strove as supposed in this regards there would have been none of these
conflicts, wars and bickering among the Islamic world nor would there
have been divergence in opinions in the origins/basics and branches of the
religion)(2).
And he also said: (we state that: the Prophets were not always lucky in
discharging their goals, and that towards the end of the world, Allah would
send someone to take up[ the responsibility of discharging matters of the
Prophets…)(3)
E nquiry 21: What is the stance of Shiite scholars from the narrations
of the companions?
Response: Family of Kashif Al-Ghita narrates about their followers:

( that they do not recognize the Sunnah, I mean the Ahadith (Traditions
of the Prophet) except those that they deem authentic that were narrated
by members of the prophet’s family (Ahlul-Bayt) on the authority if their
grandfather. That is what Al-Sadiq narrated on the authority of his father
Al-Baqir from his father Zain Al-Abideen from Al-Hussein the grandchild
of the prophet, from his Ameer Al-Mumineen Ali (peace be upon them all),
but such that was narrated by companions like Abu Hurairah, Samrat bin
Jundub, Marwan bin Al-Hakam, Imran bin Hattan Al-Khariji, Amr bin

Al-’Aas and their likes are not recognized by the Imamate sect even as to
the level of a mosquito)(1).
And because of this, it is among the basics of their belief that (anything
that did not come from them is void, invalid)(2)
The Blow:
The Shiite scholars justify their rejection of the narrations of companions
of the prophet because, according to their claims, that they (companions)
denied the Imamate of one of their Imams and that is Imam Ali (RA). But
then, why do they accept narrations from people that have denied a lot of
their Imams?! Why do they act by the narrations of Al-Fathiyyah(3) like
Abdullah bin Bakir, as ascertained by Al-Hurr Al-Amily, as well as the
stories of Al-Waqifah(4) like the example of Sama’ah bin Mahran, and the
Naawusiyyah(5).
Notwithstanding all these, some of the scholars of Shiites consider some
members of these sects who deny and reject many of the twelve Imams as
trustworthy.
Al-Kashi had said about some of the Fathiyah men such as Muhammad
bin Al-Walid, Al-Khazzaz, Mu’awiyah bin Hakim, Musaddik bin Sidqah
and Muhammad bin Salim bin Abdul-Hameed that: (all these men are of
the Fathiyyah sect and are some of the most reputable and upright scholars
and jurists and some of them met with Al-Rida)(6)
Al-Majlisi, their great scholar also informed that his sect do work with
the narrations of the aforementioned, when he said: (and for the purpose of
what we said, our sect worked with the narrations of the Fathiyyah scholars
such as Abdullah bin Bakir and others, as well as the narrations of scholars
of the Waqifiyyah sect such Sama’ah bin Mahran…)(7).

(4) They are the sect that see Abdullah bin Ja’afar bin Muhammad as one of the Imams
of Shiites…
(5) Al-Waqifah: They are those who stopped the Imamate at the seventh Iamam of Shiism,
Musa bin Ja’afar, and they do not recognize the Imamate of anyone after him.…
(6) They are the followers of a man called Nawoos. They believe that the sixth Imam Ja’afar
bin Muhammad did not die, but still alive and would resurface to rule…
(7) Rijal Al-Kashi 6/605 number 1063

Shiite scholars have certified a lot of the elders of the Waqifiyyah sect
against the statement of their infallible Imam Abu Al-Hassan (according
to their belief) who said: (the Waqifiyyah stands apart from the truth and
is resides in error - sin – and if he dies in this state then the Hell shall be his
abode, and what a bad fate) . And similarly his statement that: (They live in
confusion and die irreligious or as non-believers)(1), and that: (they verily
are infidels, polytheists and unbelievers)(2).
Catastrophe that broke the backbones of Shiite Scholars:

Their Sheikh Al-Kulaini had narrated about Ibn Hazim that he said to
Abu Abdullah: (Inform me about the companions of the Prophet, peace be
upon him; did they sincerely believe in him or not? And he replied: they
believed in him sincerely)(3). Allah is the greatest!! “And say: Truth has come
falsehood has vanished. Surely, falsehood is ever bound to vanish.” (Isra : 81).
E nquiry 22: What is the reality about the stories of the Riqa’ (security
of the Imamate lineage) and what is its status within the Shiite Sect?
Response: (When their Imam Al-Hassan Al-Askari died, he had no

heir and no known child to succeed him. This was certified after resort to
his wives and female slaves, and that made clear their false claim of the Habl
(Rope – i.e. continuity of the lineage. His inheritance was shared among his
mother, brother Ja’afar, and his mother deposited his will (to the bait al-mal)
and this was ascertained and verified with the Judge and Sultan)(4).
This singular incident became the bone breaker for Shiites and Shiism!
Then, some of them said: (The Imamate has ended)(5), and some others
said that:
(Al-Hassan bin Ali died without an heir, and the next Imam after him
was his brother, Ja’afar bin Ali)(6).

And in this ocean of confusion in which the Shiite scholars are, a man
called Usman bin Said Al-Amri came up to claim that: (Al-Hassan Al-Askari
had a son in his fifth year of age that was hidden from people, only him can
see him, and that he was the Imam after his father Al-Hassan. And that this
child Imam had deputized him to collect money and answer questions on
religious matters on his behalf.(1)
And when Usman bin Said died, in the year 280 AH, his son, Muham-
mad bin Usman claimed the same thing his father had earlier claimed. And
when Muhammad died in the year 305, Al-Hussein bin Rouh Al-Nubakhti(2)
succeeded him in same claim. And when he died in the year 326, he was
succeeded by Abu Al-Hassan Ali bin Muhammad Al-Samri, who died year
329(3). He was the last of those who claimed to deputize the Imams according
to the Shiite scholars.
However, when claimants to the position became numerous due to
the huge money attached to it, the Shiite sect decided to put an end to the
chain. They claimed it had ended and the “Great Absence” occurred with the
death of As-Samari. Those representatives of the Imam normally listened to
questions from the low minded people as well as collect money from them,
which they will pass over to the awaited Imam. These they called signatures
of the Imam.(4)
As for these fallacious signatures, they are treated like words from Allah
and the prophet (PBUH), and are even rated stronger than their authentic
reports from the Prophet (PBUH) whenever they contradicted each other.
An example of this situation is when Ibn Baabawaih rejected a hadeeth that
is authentic in their most authentic source because it contradicted with this
fallacy. He said: “I will not pass verdict based on this hadeeth. Instead, I
will give verdict based on what is with me written by Al-Hasan bin Ali.”(5)
Al-‘Aamili then commented on it, saying:
“Verily, the handwriting of the infallible is stronger in authenticity than
that which was transmitted via media”.(6)

(6) Wasaa’il Ash-Shee’ah 20/248.

The scholars of Shiites took these signatures very seriously and they recorded them as
they are, to them, revelation incorruptible.
74
Their contemporary scholars consider these patches to be “Sunnah that

cannot be corrupted”.(1)
E nquiry 23: What led to At-Tousi authoring his book ‘Tahdheeb

Al-Ahkaam’ and how many hadeeths are in there?
Response: This book, since its publication, is considered the first

accepted book of the Shiites on Usool (i.e. fundamentals) of their religion.
The number of hadeeth in it is 13590. It is considered the second important
book of reference after Al-Kaafi by Al-Kulaini.
Comment:
The surprising thing is that the author of the book explicitly stated that
the number of hadeeth in it is a little more than five thousand. This means
they are not ordinarily supposed to be more than six thousand.
Does this mean more than half the content was added through the dif-
ferent epochs? It is clear that this was the handiwork of some hidden hands
covering up under the name of Islam.
At-Tousi stated that the reason why he authored this book was because
of what had become of their hadeeth narratives. He said: “due to the con-
troversy, wide variation and opposition between them. To the extent that
one can hardly find a hadeeth without seeing another one very close to it
contradicting it. No hadeeth is free from not having another opposing it. It
got to the extent that our opponents use this a point against our belief”.(2)
He commented generously that most of the discrepancies amongst their
scholars are without any evidence or proof, other than hiding under the
notion of “Taqiyyah”. Only that their proofs are mostly in line with what
their greatest opponent, Ahlus-sunnah, have.
E nquiry 24: What rank do Shiite scholars place the book “Al-Kaafi”?
Is it free from their additions? Did they agree on the number of
Books and hadeeth it contained?
Response: Some of their scholars believe that when Al-Kulaini com-

pleted his book ‘Al-kaafi’, he presented it to their absent twelfth or thirteenth

Imam, who in turn approved of it and said: “Kaafin lishee’atina” (this is

enough for our Shiites).(1)
Abbas Al-Qummi said: “Al-Kaafi is the most honourable Islamic book
and the greatest literature of the Imamate Shiite. None like it has ever been
written for the Imamate Shiite”.(2)
Al-maula Muhammad Ameen Al-Istryaabaadi said: “We heard from
our scholars and sheikhs that any book close to it or of same status has not
been produced in the history of Islam.”(3)
Comment:
Will you kindly come along with me as I take a look at some chapters
of this book let alone the detailed text? Then we see the quantity of what
they added.
Their sheikh Al-Khawaansaari said: “They disagreed over the ‘Book of
Ar-Raudhah’ whether it is actually the handiwork of Al-kulaini or it was
added in his book ‘Al-Kaafi’ after him”.(4)
Ibn Al-Mutahhir Al-Halli (d. 726), while stating his certification for
Najmud-deen Muhanna Al-Madani to report from him, he said: “And the
book of Al-Kulaini authored by Muhammad bin Ya’qoob Al-Kulaini, which
is called Al-Kaafi, is fifty books according to these narrations.”(5)
Husein bin Haydar Al-Karki Al-Aamili (d. 1076), who is one of their
most reliable authentic reporters, said: “Verily, Al-Kaafi comprises of fifty
books based on the chain of narrators in it for every hadeeth linking the
Imams”.(6)
However, their great sheikh, At-Tousi, says: “Al-Kaafi contains thirty
books, beginning with the Book of Al-‘Aql and ending with the Book of
Ar-Raudhah. Our sheikh, Al-Mufeed, informed us of all its books and
narratives”.(7)
(1) See: Enquiry No. 95 where you would find reports confirming the number of their
Imam to be thirteen.

(7) Al-Fahrasat by At-Yousi pp. 210-211.
76
Based on the above mentioned statements, it is clear that twenty books

were added to Al-Kaafi between the fifth and eleventh centuries and every
book contains a huge number of chapters. This means that the propotion of
40% of the volume of Al-Kaafi was added between the stated periods. This
is different from all the other alterations, subtractions and additions. Who
added twenty books to Al-Kaafi? Could they be the turban bearing sheikhs
of the Shiites? Or could it be a certain Jew, or a number of Jews through
the period? Or it is just a natural phenomenon? Nonetheless, someone who
could tell lied against the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions would have
no iota of fear to lie against is sheikhs.
Then ask any Shiite:

Can we still say that your book “Al-kaafi” is from your infallible Imam
in his hiding place (As-Sirdaab) and still caliming it is authentic and suffices
for you people?
E nquiry 25: What is the opinion of contemporary Shiites about

their sources of knowledge?
Response: They have depended on the first four books as sources for
their knowledge, which are: Al-kaafi, At-Tahdheeb, Al-istibsaar and man
laa yahdhuru al-faqeeh. This is what some of their contemporary scholars
affirmed, like Agha Barzak At-Tahraani,(1) Muhsin Al-Ameen(2), etc.
Their sheikh, Al-Aamili said: “The authors of those four books and
their likes have borne witness that the narratives and reports contained in
the books are authentic and taken from original sources generally agreed
upon”.(3)
Abdulhusein Al-Mousawi said: “And the best amongst them are the
four books which are the fundamentals of the Imamiyyah sect from the first
century till date. They are: Al-Kaafi, At-Tahdheeb, Al-Istibsaar and Man laa
Yahdhuruhu Al-Faqeeh. Their reports are mutawaatir and it is generally
agreed upon that the reports in them are authentic. Al-Kaafi is the oldest,
the greatest, the most perfect and the best of them”.(4)

sawi (d. 1377).
77
The contemporary scholars amongst them do not differ from their

ancestors in their sources of information. In fact, some sources of Isma’ili-
yyah sect(1) has become basic sources for their contemporary scholars, such
books as: Da’aa’im Al-Islam by Al-Qadhi An-Nu’maan bin Muhammad bin
Mansoor (d. 363), and he is Ismaa’ilite who rejects all the Imams of the Shi-
ites after Ja’far as-Saadiq. To them, he is a disbeliever for rejecting even one
amongst their Imams let alone more.(2) That notwithstanding, their greatest
scholars of our time take his book as a source of reference”.(3)
E nquiry 26: Do the Shiites have the known terms “authentic, weak,
sound, etc.” in their own classification of hadeeth?
Response: It is newly used; and the reason for that is that “the benefit
in mentioning such(4) is to repel reproach from the masses(5) that their nar-
ratives (hadeeths) are not mu’an’anah (i.e. for the chain of reporters to hear
from one another) and not taken from the same sources of their ancestors”.
“And this new term goes in line with the belief of their masses and was
taken from their books after scrutiny”.(6)
(1) Isma’eeliyyah: They are those who believe that the Imam after Ja’far is Isma’eel his son.
They believe in the Imamate of Muhammad bin Isma’eel bin Ja’far, and then rejected all
the remaining Imams from the progeny of Ja’far.
The Isma’eeliyyah sect has so many different names according to locations and places
around the world. It is the origin of other sects like: Al-Qaraamitah, Al-Hashaashun,
Al-Fatimiyyun, Ad-Duruz, etc.
Their belief is outwardly of the rejecter and inwardly nothing but complete disbelief.
They deny Allah His Majestic attributes, deny prophethood and worship. They even
deny resurrection after death. They do not let anyone know all these except after they are
convinced he has reached the highest rank in their belief.

Comment:
This means that they have no spelt out ways to find out the authenticity
of a narration. The said measures are merely in the book with the objective of
not opening the door for reproach from the masses and escape the criticism
of the Ahlus-sunnah.
E nquiry 27: In the Shiite doctrines, do they have contradictions

and differences in defaming some narratives and proclaiming their
authenticity?
Response: Yes. Al-Kaashaani said: “There are much discrepancies,

dubiousness and contradictions in laws guiding authenticating reports and
defaming them, to the extent that one cannot find what the mind is settled
with. This is not hidden from anyone who knows”.(1)
Example of such is found in their famous narrator of hadeeth, Zuraarah
bin A’yun, the companion of their Imams: Al-Baaqir, As-Saadiq and
Al-Kaadhim. Al-Kashshi reported that Abu Abdullah said: “Zuraarah is
worse than the Jews and the Christians and anyone who said Allah was
one of three Gods”.(2)
This same Al-Kashshi reported again that Abu Abdullah said: “O
Zuraarah! Verily, your name is among the names of the people of Jannah
below a thousand. I said: “Yes, may I be sacrificed on your behalf. My name
is Abdul Rabbu and was nicknamed Zuraarah”.(3)
Comment:
Similitudes of this contradiction are very numerous, e.g. Jabir l-Ja’fi,
Muhammad bin Muslim, Abu baser Al-Laith Al-Muraadi, Buraid Al-‘Ajali,
hamraan bin A’yun, etc. if these narrators have same situation like that of
Zuraarah, what judgment do you think we should pass on their narrations.
The Mortal Blow:

Their sheikh, At-Tousi, said about most of their scholars and their books:
“Verily, most of the authors amongst our people and those of the fundamen-
tals (of the religion) ascribe to wrong doctrines even though their books are

adopted”.(1) This is incredible: their beliefs are wrong and yet, their books
are adopted!!
E nquiry 28: Is general consensus an evidence according to the Shi-

ites and when?
Response: It is not evidence except with the presence of one of their

infallible Imams. Ibn Al-Mutahhir Al-Halli said: “A general consensus in
our belief can only be evidence when an infallible Imam is amongst them.
Whether the group is huge or little, their consensus becomes evidence if
the infallible was there. And it is evidence because of him and not for the
group”.(2)
Thus, “a consensus is evidence because of the infallible amidst them
and not because they are a group”.(3)
Comment:
What, then, is the essence of the general consensus? Since they belief in
the infallibility of their Imam, his lone statement would have just sufficed.
E nquiry 29: What is the belief of the Shiite scholars regarding

tawheed al-uloohiyyah?
Response: This will be clarified in the coming enquiries and responses,

by the grace of Allah.
E nquiry 30: How was Allah worshipped according to the belief of

the Shiites?
Response: They believe that if not for their Imams, Allah would not
be worshipped. (High is Allah above whatever they associate with Him)
[An-Naml: 63]. They lied against Abu Abdullah that he said: “Verily, Allah
created us and perfected our creation. He molded us and perfected our
molding. Then He made us His eye amongst His slaves, His gateway through
which he can be reached and His guardian in both the earth and heavens. It

is by us trees produce fruits, fruits get ripen, river flow, rain fails, green plants
grow on the earth and through our worship Allah is being worshipped. If
not for us, Allah would not have been worshipped”.(1)
E nquiry 31: Do the Shite scholars believe in the manifestation and

unification of Allah and His creatures?
Response: Yes!! They believe that Allah manifests in His creatures!.

After they claimed that Allah manifests partially and specifically in Ali
(Allah be pleased with him). They falsely claimed that Abu Abdullah ( may
Allah be pleased with him), said: “Then He rubbed us with His right hand
, and his light passed on to us”(2) and also falsely claimed that Abi Ja’far
(may Allah be pleased with him) said: And Allah mixed us with Himself”.(3)
And they falsely claimed that As-Sadiq (may Allah be pleased with him)
said: We are related to Allah in different ways, sometimes we are Him,
and He is us, except that He is Him, and we are we.(4)
And their greatest Imam, Al-Khumainy said: “Ali is the greatest pres-
ence of Allah”.(5)
And he said also:” There is no appearance or presence except it is of Him,
may He be exalted and esteemed, and the world is a mystery in mystery to
the free”.(6)
He said also : “And Allah the most high is everything that is present,
and all of Him is the existence, all magnificence and perfection, as He is
the magnificence and perfection, and every other thing is a reflection of
His light, and the glittering of His presence, and the shadow of Himself”.(7)

And their scholar Al-Hussain bin Mansur Al-Hallaj, who is a Sufi Shiite,
said: ( Oh God of gods, and lord of lords- return my body to me, so that I
will not be tempted by your servants, oh you that is me, and I am him”.(1)
And he sang:
I am you without doubt
your glorification is my glorification
Your oneness is my oneness
and disobedience to you is disobedience to me
And annoying you is annoying me
and your forgiveness is my forgiveness
And I am not flogged my lord
if it said that he is a fornicator(2)
Comment:
It has been known with necessity from the religion of Islam that there
is no Lord worthy of worship except Allah, and that Allah is the creator of
everything, and anything apart from him is Allah’s creation. And (indeed
everyone in the heavens and the earth will come to Ar-rahman (the Benef-
icent) as a slave) [Maryam:93]
And Allah also said: (Oh you people of the book, do not transgress in
your religion and do not say about Allah except that which is right) [An-Nisa:
171]
Allah said: (Those who say the Messiah son of Mary is Allah, have
disbelieved) [Al-Maaida: 17]
As for the Christians whom Allah and his messenger, (May the peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) declared apostates, one of the greatest
claims they made was, the unification of Allah with the messiah the son of
Mary. Anyone who therefore, unifies Allah with any other person, as the
Shiites and their likes, their statement is worse than that of the Christians.
This is because the messiah may the peace of Allah be upon him is better

than all those people. And the scholars of the Rawafid (Rejecters) are from
amongst the followers of Dajjal who claims to be a Lord so that he will be
followed. Dajjal will tell the sky to rain and it will rain by the permission of
Allah, and he will say to the earth yield plants, and it will yield plants with
the permission of Allah. Never the less with all these, Dajjal still remains
one eyed, a liar and a deceiver. Anyone who claims to be a God without
these miracles is lesser in status than Dajjal. And anyone who says Allah
manifests in a human and that Allah and mankind are one and that mankind
is God and this is a character of the God, is indeed an apostate according
to all the Muslims.
E nquiry 32: What is meant by oneness of worship as mentioned by

verses of the Quran, according to the Shiite scholars?
Response: Their understanding is the affirmation of leadership of Ali

may Allah be pleased with him and the remaining Imams. And their prin-
ciple is that “ Indeed, reports are numerous in the explanation of ascribing
partners with Allah and ascribing partners with Him in worship: by ascribing
partners in the Government and Imamate. In other words, anyone who is
not of the followers of the Imamate is ascribing partners with the Imam.
That is when he ascribes to the Leadership of another alongside that of the
family of Muhammad (PBUH).(1)
For example: Allah’s saying (And it has been revealed to you and to those
before you, that if you associate partners with Allah, your work will be void
and you will be among the losers) [Az-Zumar: 65], the meaning of this verse
according to their most authentic book is: “If you associate in government
others apart from him (Ali)”.(2)
Of their claims is they falsely claimed that Abu Abdullah, (may Allah
have mercy on him) said concerning the saying of Allah (That is because
when Allah alone is mentioned, you disbelief and when others are ascribed
to Him you believe. Indeed judgment is for Allah, the most high, the great)
[Ghaafir: 12] that: “when Allah is mentioned and unified with the Gov-
ernment of the one Allah has ordered his Rule (you disbelieve) and when
ascribed partner to (one who is not a leader ) you believe that he is a leader”.(3)

Of their claims also is the blasphemy upon Abu Abdullah, may Allah
have mercy on him, that he said regarding the saying of Allah (Is there any
other Lord apart from Allah) [An-Naml: 60], it means “the Imam of guidance
and the Imam of misguidance”.(1)
The Mortal Blow:

Abu Abdullah said about those who understand the verses to mean what
has been mentioned: “Anyone who says this is indeed ascribing partners to
Allah (three times). I am by Allah, distancing myself from him,(three times).
Allah has actually meant Himself (three times)”.(2)
E nquiry 33: What is the basis of acceptance of work according to

the Shiites?
Response: Believing in the leadership of their Imams.(3)

(Allah be exalted from that to which they ascribe) [An-Naml: 63]
They blasphemed when they said: “Anyone who does not affirm the
leadership of the leader of the faithful (Ali) will have his work invalid”.(4)
Also they lied when they said: “ Indeed Allah may he be glorified
imposed Ali as a sign between Him and His creatures, anyone who acknowl-
edges him(Ali) becomes a believer, and anyone who denies him becomes
an unbeliever, and anyone who does not acknowledge him is astray, and
anyone who chooses others with him is a mushrik (one who ascribes part-
ners to God), and anyone who comes believing in his (Ali) leadership enters
Al-Jannah”.(5)
They lied also when they said: “Indeed, if anyone accepts our govern-
ment (of Ali) and dies in that state, his prayers, fasting, zakat and Hajj will
be accepted. And if he does not accept our government in the sight of Allah,

Allah will not accept any of his works”.(1) They also blasphemed when they
said: “If a servant were to live between the pillar and where prophet Ibrahim
stepped while building the ka’abah, or between the prophet’s grave and the
pulpit and he worshipped Allah for a thousand years, and was slaughtered
unjustly like a sheep without believing in our government, Allah will put
him in Hell”.(2)
Imam Khumainy said : “Indeed the government of the people of the
house (family of the prophet), is a condition to the acceptance of work, and
one of the necessities of Shi’ism, and reports to this concept are numerous”.(3)
Contradiction:
What have the Shiite well known books say about this narration? On
the authority of Ali the son of Abi Talib, who said: I heard the messenger of
Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saying when this
verse was revealed (Say, I do not ask you of any reward except love in the near
future) Angel Gabriel said: Oh Muhammad every religion has a foundation
and pillar, and branches and buildings, and indeed the foundation of the
religion is saying there is no God worthy of worship except Allah, followed
by your love for the household of the prophet and following you in what is
right and what you preach”.(4)
This statement makes the basis of the religion, testifying in the oneness of
Allah, not government of the shite, and love of the household of the prophet
a branch of it, conditionally given to the one who follows what is right and
preaches it. What is then the sin of those who died in the previous nations
and do not know Ali nor the household of the prophet?!
E nquiry 34: Do the Shite believe in an intermediary between Allah

and His creatures and who are they?
Response: Yes
The shite scholars believe that their Imams are the intermediary between
Allah and His creatures. That was why their scholar Al-Majlisi organized

a chapter with the title ( Chapter 6: That people cannot be guided except
through them, and that they are the intermediaries between man and his
Creator, and no one enters Al-Jannah except one who acknowledges them).
And he lied when he said that “the messenger may the peace and bless-
ings of Allah be upon him said to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), three
things, I swear they are right: You and those you choose to lead after you are
acknowledged people, no one will know Allah except by acknowledging you
and no one will enter Al-Jannah except those you acknowledge and they
acknowledge you, and no one enters Hell fire except he who denies and you
deny them”.(1)
And Al-Majlisi said: “They are the barriers of the Lord and intermedi-
aries between man and the Creator”.(2)
Comment::
Indeed, this ideology of the shite scholars reminds us of the ideologies of
the Idol worshippers. Allah says concerning the Idol worshippers: (Indeed,
to Allah alone belongs the religion and those who took protectors other than
Allah will say, we do not worship them except that they will take us closer to
Allah, Indeed Allah will judge between them in that which they contradict,
Indeed Allah does not guide one who is a liar and denier) [Az-Zumar: 13]
E NQUIRY 35: How were the Prophets guided, and how does one see
Allah according to the Twelver Shite Imams?
RESPONSE: The Shite scholars lied upon Abu Abdullah (may Allah
have mercy upon him), that he said : Allah would have not created Adam
with His hands and blow soul into him except with the leadership of Ali,
nor did Allah speak to Musa(peace be upon him) except with the leadership
of Ali, nor did Isa(peace be upon him) bring any sign to the world except
after he degraded himself in front of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him),
then he said: let me summarize the matter. No one is fit to see Allah except
the person who worships us”.(3)
E NQUIRY 36: How was Allah alone worshipped and acknowledged,

and how does one reach Allah according to Shite?
RESPONSE: They lied that Abu Ja’far said: “It is through us Allah was
worshipped, and it is through us Allah was known and it is through us the

86
oneness of Allah was established”.(1) And they said also: “And we are the
way to Allah”.(2)
More so, they fabricated that: “It was through us Allah was known and
through us Allah was worshipped and we are the guides to Allah, and had
it not been for us, Allah would not be worshipped”.(3)
So also they said: “We are the protectors of Allah’s wish, and the keepers
of Allah’s knowledge, the revelation of Allah and the people of the religion
of Allah, upon us Allah’s book was revealed, and it is through us Allah is
worshipped. Had it not be for us, Allah will not be known and we are the
successors of the prophet of Allah and his progeny”.(4)
Comment:
Allah says: (Anyone whom Allah guides is guided, and anyone He
misguides will never get a protector to guide him) [Al-Kahf: 17]
Also, Allah says: (Indeed you cannot guide whom you love, but Allah
guides whom He wishes, and He is best aware of those guided). [Al-Qasas: 56]
E NQUIRY 37: When does Allah accept one’s supplications according

to the scholars of the Twelver Shiite?
RESPONSE: Supplications are not accepted except with the mention

of their Imams.
They said that Abu Ja’far said: “Anyone who calls Allah through us
prosper, and anyone who calls upon Allah without us perishes or calls for
destruction”.(5)
Comment:
Allah the most high said: (And the places of Sujud are meant for Allah
alone, so do not call others aside Allah) [Al-Jinn: 18] Allah also said:
(And do not call apart from Allah one who will not benefit nor harm
you, for if you do so you are indeed of the transgressors) [Yunus: 106]

87
E NQUIRY 38: How did Allah accept the supplications of the Prophets
according to the Shiite creed?
RESPONSE: After they asked for intermediation and help from their
Imams.
Ad-Dawlah As-Safawiyyah devoted a chapter in his book (Bihaar Dhu-
limaatihi ‘an A’immatihi) to the Imams and called it: “Chapter: that the
supplications of the prophets were accepted through seeking intermediation
from them (may the prayers of Allah be upon them all)”.(1)
They claimed that Rida (may Allah have mercy upon him)said: “When
prophet Nuh was about drowning, he called upon Allah through us and
he was saved , and when Ibrahim was thrown into the fire he called upon
Allah through us and the fire was made cold and peaceful. Also did Musa
call upon Allah through us and when he struck the sea it became a passage.
Isa also called upon Allah through us and he was saved with Allah raising
him to the heaven”.(2)
They refer to their Mahdi as “The most merciful of all merciful”.(3) (Allah
the most high be exalted above that which ascribe) [Al-A’raaf: 190].
Imam Khumainy said about their twelfth Imam, whom they claim is
the Mahdi: “In his hands are today’s affairs”.(4)
Worst is when their scholars say they Response supplications, and they
are close to anyone who calls them. (May Allah be exalted from that which
they ascribe).
They fabricated that one of their scholars wrote a letter to his Imam Abul
Hassan Al-Haadi complaining and saying: “indeed someone would want
to relate with his Imam, the way he would relate with his Lord. He reply: “If
you need anything, just say it by moving your lips (to the Imam) and your
wish will be granted”.(5)
Comment:
Allah says concerning those who ascribe partners to Him (And they
worship apart from Allah that which cannot harm nor benefit them, and

they say those are our interceders in the sight of Allah, Say (O prophet): are
you informing Allah of that which He does not know in the heavens and
the earth? May He be glorified, the most high exonerated from that which
they ascribe). [Yunus: 18]
E NQUIRY 39: How did the moon split into two halves for the prophet
Muhammad (PBUH), according to the Shite scholars?
RESPONSE: After seeking help and intercession with the supplications

of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him).(1)
E NQUIRY 40: Can one seek for help from another person other than
Allah according to Shiite scholars?
RESPONSE: It is not allowed to seek for help except from their Imams,
they are the savers.
They claimed falsely that the messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “As for
Abul Hassan, he is my brother, he will revenge for you upon those who cheat
you, while Ali bin Al-Husain will save you from the rulers and the evil of
Satan; Musa bin Ja’far brings sound health from Allah; and for Ali bin Musa,
ask for peace from him from what is on land and sea; from Muhammad bin
Ali ask for provisions from Allah. As for Hassan bin Ali ask for the hereafter,
and as for the owner of the time, when the sword gets to your neck call him
and he will help you”.(2)
And Muhammad Al-Kharsaan said: “If anyone needs any help from
Imam Al-Mahdy, let him just write his request on a slate and throw it on any
of the graves of the Imams, or wrap it up and mix it in a paste then throw
it in water and it will get to the Imam and his problem will be solved by the
Imam himself”.(3)
Contradiction
Their books have it that Imam Ja’far As-Saadiq used to say in his sup-
plication: “Oh Allah I have woken up not possessing in my hands any harm
nor benefit, nor life nor death nor resurrection. I have been debased and my

weakness known and I do not have excuses. All trust is lost except in you,
and all hopes lost except in you”.(1)
Allah rightly said: (And who is worst in lost than the person who calls
upon others apart from Allah those that won’t Response him from now till
the last day, and they are ignorant of that which they call. And when people
are resurrected on the last day, they will be enemies to them and with all
their worships will be un believers) [Al-Ahqaaf: 5-6]
Also Allah said: (And he ascribed partners to Allah so as to lead people
astray, say: enjoy with your disbelief a little, indeed you are of the companion
of hell). [Az-Zumar: 8]
He, the most Higher also said: (Do you see if the punishment of Allah
comes or the time (last hour), will you call any other apart from Allah if you
were truthful) [Al-An’aam: 40-41]
E NQUIRY 41: How did the messengers with great determinations

become messengers with great determinations according to the
Shiite scholars?
RESPONSE: With their love for the Imams of Shiite.

Sheikh Al-Majlisi mentioned in his book, bihaar Al-Anwaar, a chapter
which he named: “Their preference (i.e. the Imams) over the prophets and all
creatures; and taking their covenant from the prophets, Angels and all other
creatures; and that the prophets with great determination became prophets
with great determination because they loved for them (i.e. the Imams)”.(2)
ENQUIRY 42: According to the Shiite scholars, which is better

between hajj to visit scenes of their Imams and Hajj to Makkah to
accomplish the fifth pillar of Islam?
RESPONSE: Hajj to visit scenes of their Imams.

They claimed falsely that Abu Abdullah said to a man that came to
Yemen to visit Al-Hussain: “Indeed Abu Abdullah’s visit is equivalent to
an accepted Hajj in the company of the messenger (PBUH). Abu Abdullah
became surprised and he (Al-Hussain) said, double accepted Hajj with the
messenger (PBUH). Abu Abdullah was amazed and Al-Hussain kept increas-
ing the number until he got to thirty accepted Hajj in the company of the

90
messenger”.(1) So also they claimed falsely on the messenger (PBUH), that

he said: “Anyone who visits him (i.e. Al-Husein) after his death is having the
reward as Hajj from my pilgrimages, she said: A hajj from you pilgrimages
? He aid: Two pilgrimages , and she said two pilgrimages , he said: yes, even
four and kept increasing till he got to seventy times as the pilgrimages of
the messenger”.(2)
More so they claimed falsely : “One thousand by a thousand hajj like
the one flag bearer (or guardian), and one thousand by a thousand Umrah
with the messenger of Allah”.(3)
Then they added to the lie and said: “Two thousand by a thousand Hajj,
two thousand by a thousand Umrah; two thousand by a thousand wars;
and the reward for every Hajj, umrah, war is like the reward of doing such
with the messenger (PBUH) and the Imams”.(4) Then they went into extreme
in lying that: “On the authority of Abu Al-Hassan Rida who said: “Anyone
who visits the grave of Abu Abdullah is like the one who visits Allah on
His throne”.(5)
9) “On the authority of Abu Abdullah who said: “Anyone who visits the
grave of Al-Hussain bin Ali on the day of Ashurah acknowledging his status
is like one who visits Allah on His throne”.(6)
10) “On the authority of Zaid Ash-Shahhaam who said: “I asked Abu
Abdullah: What reward is there for one who visits the grave of Al-Husein”?
And he said: “The reward of one who visits Allah”.(7)

11) “Anyone who visits the grave of the sons of Ali, before Allah is like

spends a night with there is like one who visited Allah on his throne”.(1)
Cintradiction
They narrated “On the authority of Hannaan bin Sadeer who said: I
asked Abu Abdullah: What do you say about visiting the grave of Al-Hus-
sain, because it got to our hearings that some of you say it is equivalent to
Hajj and Umrah?” He replied: “This statement is very weak, it does not equal
all these. But visit it and do not boycott it, because he is the leader of the
martyred youths and the leader of the youths in Al-Jannah”.(2)
MORTAL BLOW FOR SHIITE SCHOLARS:

Al-Kulainy narrated “On the authority of Abu Abdullah who said: The
leader of the faithful said: the messenger (May the peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) sent me to destroy graves (raised above others) and
break pictures”.(3)
He also narrated that “On the authority of Abu Abdullah who said:
the leader of the faithful said: The messenger of Allah (PBUH) sent me to
Madinah and said: Do not leave any picture except you erase it, nor a grave
(elevated from the floor) except you level it, nor a dog except you kill it”.(4)
The Shiite scholars compared the built graves to the sacred house of Allah.
The base of the religion of Islam is to worship Allah alone and not to
ascribe any partners to him from His creatures, nor equivalent nor namesake.
Allah says (The lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them,
worship Him and persevere in patience, do you know anyone that equals
Him in name) [Maryam: 65]
Allah also said: (There is none like unto Him) [Al-Ikhlas: 4]
The Most High said: (Then do not ascribe partners to Allah knowingly)
[Al-Baqarah: 22]
Therefore, anyone who equates between the creator and the creature in
love for Him, or fear of Him, or hope of Him, then he is ascribing partners
to Allah.

E NQUIRY 43: Is it allowed for anyone to make things lawful and

unlawful according to the Shite scholars’ belief?
RESPONSE: Yes
They claimed falsely that Abu Ja’far may Allah have mercy on him said:
“Our works are submissive to our Imams, what they make lawful is lawful
and what they make unlawful is unlawful”.(1)
They claimed Rida (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “The people
are like slaves to us in obedience”.(2)
THE MORTAL BLOW

Allah says: (They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their
monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship
only One God. There is no God save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they
ascribe as partner (unto Him)!)At-Tauba: 31]
Also, Allah said: (They will say while contending therein. By Allah,
we were truly in a manifest error. When We held you (false gods) as equals
(in worship) with the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that
exists). And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimun [Iblis (Satan)
and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists,
oppressors, etc.]. Now we have no intercessors. Nor a close friend (to help
us). (Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly
be among the believers!. Verily! In this is indeed a sign, yet most of them
are not believers.) [Ash-Shu’araa: 96-103].
Abu Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “By Allah, they did
not call them to worship themselves, and had it been they called them, they
would have not responded to them, but they made lawful, the unlawful, and
made unlawful the lawful and thereby worshipped them unknowingly”.(3)
E NQUIRY 44: Which is placed first between obedience to Allah and

obedience to Ali, according to Shiite scholars ?
RESPONSE: Obedience to Ali. (What is the matter with you, [that you
fear not Allah (His punishment), and] you hope not for reward (from Allah
or you believe not in His Oneness). [Nuh: 13]
They claimed that Allah said: “Anyone who knows the right of Ali has
become pure and good, and anyone who denies it disbelieves and loses. I

swear with my prestige to admit into Al-Jannah anyone who obeys him,
even if he disobeys me. And I swear with my prestige that I will admit into
hell anyone who disobeys him, even if he obeys me”.(1)
E NQUIRY 45: What do the Shite scholars believe about the dust and
sand in the graves of Al-Hussain ?
RESPONSE: “Indeed the sand and dust from the grave of Al-Hussain
is a cure for all ailments”.(2) and “Allah made the sand a of the grave of my
grandfather cure to all ailment and protection from all fears”.(3)
More so, they claimed that Abu Abdullah said: “Rub the tongue of your
children with the sand from the grave of0Al-Husein as it is a protection”.(4)
Contradiction
They forgot and claimed that Abu Abdullah said: “Rub your children’s
tongue with water from Euphrates”.(5)
Their Imam Al-Khumainy also said: “There is no sand that can be placed
(in status) with the sand of his grave even that of the prophet (PBUH) and
the (other) Imams, according to the stronger opinion”.(6)
E NQUIRY 46: Do the Shiite scholars believe in supplications with

Talisman and codes and seeking refuge from the unknown ?
RESPONSE: Yes, and examples are:

They said the protection of Ali for one whom spell is cast upon is “In the
name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful, ei kanush ei kanush, atanintinh
oh mutaytairun………(incantations)”.(7)

or fears for himself, he should say: Oh Saalih! Help me, because one of your
jinn brothers is named Saalih..”(1)
Comment:
Allah said concerning those who ascribe partners with Him: (And
indeed some men of the mankind were seeking help from the jinn, so they
downgraded them the more). [Al-Jinn: 6]
Al-Qammi narrated that Abu Ja’far (may Allah have mercy on him)
said: “A man, then, would walk up to the magician that is been whispered
to by Satan, and would say to him: “Tell your Satan that so and so person
has sought his help”.(2)
And Al-Kaashaani said: “And they added the Jinn out of haughtiness
and transgression, because of their frequent sought of help from them”. (3)
E NQUIRY 47: What is the law guarding seeking guidance with divin-
ing arrows?
RESPONSE: It is allowed(4).
According to them, “Ali bin Abi Taalib’s istikhaarah (way of seeking
guidance in a matter) comprised of one hiding something and writing what
you sick guidance for on two different surfaces, tied up and dropped in
water with one labeled “do it” and the other “do not do it” and anyone that
surfaces is that which you follow without contradicting it”.(5)
And some of them chose the place of their guidance to be at the head
of Al-Hussain.(6)

Comment:
This method of seeking for guidance and many others contradict the
saying of Allah: (Forbidden to you (for food) are: Al-Maytatah (the dead
animals - cattle-beast not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and the
meat of that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah,
or has been slaughtered for idols, etc., or on which Allah’s Name has not been
mentioned while slaughtering, and that which has been killed by strangling,
or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by the goring of horns - and
that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal - unless you are able
to slaughter it (before its death) - and that which is sacrificed (slaughtered)
on An-Nusub (stone altars). (Forbidden) also is to use arrows seeking luck
or decision, (all) that is Fisqun (disobedience of Allah and sin). This day,
those who disbelieved have given up all hope of your religion, so fear them
not, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed
My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But
as for him who is forced by severe hunger, with no inclination to sin (such
can eat these above-mentioned meats), then surely, Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful). [Al-Maa’idah: 3]
This also goes contrary to what some of their Imam narrated about the
messenger of Allah (PBUH) that the prophet used to teach his companions
the prayer of guidance in everything just the way he taught them any chapter
of the Qur’an, saying: “When any of you intends to do something, he should
observe two rakats other than compulsory prayers and say: Oh Allah I seek
your guidance through your knowledge, and I seek ability through Your
ability, and I request of Your indefinite bounties……..”.(1)
E NQUIRY 48: What is the law guiding pessimism concerning some

days and places according to the Shite scholars?
RESPONSE: Being pessimistic about certain days and places is part of

their faith. They narrated numerous reports to that effect, amongst which
is the fabrication of their scholars that: “On the authority of Abu Ayyub
who said: we wanted going out then we decided to greet Abu Abdullah who
then said: It is as if you asked for the blessings of going out on Monday? We
said: yes. Then he said: Which day is more evil than Monday? We lost the
prophet (PBUH) in it and the revelation stopped coming in it. Do not go
out on Monday, rather go on Tuesday”.(2)

Comment:
Do we blame this evil upon al-Hassan and Al-Hussain because the
Imams, since they claim falsely that Saturday is the name of the messenger
(PBUH) and Sunday is the nickname of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him),
and Monday the names of Hassan and Hussain.?(1)
They falsely claimed that the prophet said: “Take Egypt as a path way,
but do not intend dwelling in it, because it makes men not to be jealous of
their wives”.(2)
They also said falsely: “Do not say people of sham (Levant), but say people
of shu’m (pessimism), because they are children of Egypt cursed upon the
tongue of prophet Dawud and Allah turned them to monkeys and pigs”.(3)
Allah said concerning the land of Sham: (Exalted is He who took His
Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose
surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the
Hearing, the Seeing). [Al-Israa’: 1]
E NQUIRY 49: Is it allowed to call upon others apart from Allah and
when according to the Shiite scholars ?
RESPONSE: Yes, it is allowed with the condition that you do not believe
the person you are calling is a God.
Al-Khumainy said: “Shirk is for you to seek for something from other
than Allah with the believe that that person is a God. Anything aside that
is not shirk, be it a life or lifeless object, stone or mountain”.(4)
Comment:
This is the exact shirk of the period of ignorance (jahiliyyah), Allah said
about them: (For Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors
besides Him [say], “We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to
Allah in position.” Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that
over which they differ. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and
[confirmed] disbeliever). [Az-Zumar: 3]
E NQUIRY 50: How did Allah speak to prophet Muhammad(PBUH)

on the night of ascendance according to the Shite scholars?
(2) Ibid 57/211.
(3) Ibid 57/208.
(4) Kashf Al-Asraar by Al-Khumaini p. 49.
97
RESPONSE: They falsely claimed that “Abdullah bin Umar said: I heard
the messenger (PBUH) was asked: With what language did Allah speak to
you on the night of ascendance? He said: He spoke to me with the language
of Ali bin Abi Talib, and thus, I was inspired to ask : Oh Allah! Did you refer
to me or to Ali?”(1)
Comment:
Allah said: (There is no similitude to Him and He is the Hearing and
the Seeing) [Ash-Shuraa: 11]
E NQUIRY 51: Do the Shiite scholars differentiate between Allah

and the Imams?
RESPONSE: No, their scholars said: “Their soul when in the grave is
like that of the Lord, and to it they referred to in the supplication: There is no
difference between you and them except that they are your selected slaves”.(2)
Comment:
Allah the most high said: (And they worship besides Allah that which
does not possess for them [the power of] provision from the heavens and
the earth at all, and [in fact], they are unable. So do not assert similarities
to Allah . Indeed, Allah knows and you do not know). [AN-Nahl: 73-74]
Also, Allah the most high said: (There is nothing like unto Him, and
He is the Hearing, the Seeing). [Ash-Shuraa: 11]
E NQUIRY 52: What is the definition of shirk and what does disinte-
grating from the mushriks mean according in their belief?
RESPONSE: The word ‘Shirk’ in the Qur’an, according to them, is

explained to mean “Anyone who does not believe in the Imamate of Ali and
that of those amongst his children and places above them someone else”.(3)
They falsely claimed that “Abu Ja’far (may Allah have mercy on him)
said regarding the verse “(if you ascribe partners with the leadership of Ali
your work will be void).(4)

Abu Al-Hasan Al-’Aamili said: “Reports are numerous in explaining

that associating partners (shirk) with Allah in worship means associating
partners (shirk) with the government and Imamates”.(1)
Their sheikh Al-Maamqani said: “The substance in all the narratives he
mentioned is that on the Last Day, the unbelievers and those who ascribe
partners with Allah are the ones who were not Twelvers”.(2)
Al-Majlisy also said: “The verses on shirk are clearly on the Idol worship-
pers, and those who ascribed partners to twelve Imams. As for the verse (So
have you considered al-Lat and al-’Uzza? And Manat, the third - the other
one?), it refers to Al-Lat, and Uzza the second, and Manat the third, because
they called them; leader of the faithful and successors of the messenger
(may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), meaning Abubakar
and Umar and Uthman, and three others”.(3)
He also said: “And among the necessities in the Imamaamiyyah religion
is for one to disintegrate himself from Abubakar, Umar and Uthman.(may
Allah be pleased with them)”.(4)
Anyone who denies this disintegration is an unbeliever, as we stated
earlier.(5)
In their belief, the first person to show his disintegration from the
mushrikum (meaning the companions) was Abdullah bin Saba’ the Jew. So
this is what is referred to as disintegration from those who ascribe partners
to Allah and that is what they call for in the period of Hajj, in the best of
days and places.
It is part of the creed of Shiites that Abubakar and Umar(may Allah be
pleased with them), appear to them every Hajj so that they will stone them
during the Jamrah “Every year, the duo are brought out and separated and
only the Imams can see them, so they will stoned, Abubakar twice and Umar
three times because he is worst”.(6)

E NQUIRY 53: In their belief, do the stars have any effect on one’s
happiness, sadness, entering into Al-Janna or Hell?
RESPONSE: Yes, just as Sheikh Al-Kulaini falsely claimed that “Abu

Abdullah reported that anyone who marries or travels while the moon is in
Scorpio enter paradise”.(1)
Their greatest Imam Al-khumaini also said: “It is disliked for the mar-
ried to conjugate while the moon is in Scorpio or Its waning time of the
month or in one of the ill-fated days of every month”.(2)
Comment:
Fortune telling is part of the creed of those who ascribe partners to
Allah. Allah says: (But when good came to them, they said, “This is ours
[by right].” And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in
Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allah, but
most of them do not know). [Al-A’raaf: 131]
E NQUIRY 54: Did Allah allow anyone have the knowledge of the
unknown according to the Shiite scholars?
RESPONSE: Yes.
The shite scholars falsely claimed that Ali (may Allah be pleased with
him said: “Allah has not sent a prophet except that I will be the one to pay
his debt, and I prepare his provisions, and Allah has specifically given me
knowledge, and I have sent an envoy of twelve to my Lord. He made Himself
known to me, and gave me the keys to the unknown”.(3)
They also falsely claimed that Abu Abdullah said: “Indeed I know what
is in the heavens and earth. I know what is in Paradise and Hell, and I know
what was and what will be”.(4)
In fact, worst was when the Shiite scholars claimed that their Imams
“know everything in details just the way Allah knows. They know all what
was, what will be, what is already existing, and there is not even a grain
can escape them. It is not a surprise that they know all that will be in all
planets, let alone that which was or already in existence. This is entailed in

numerous narratives and can be claimed to be amongst the beliefs of the

Imamate Shiite and of its essentials”.(1)
Their greatest Imam Al-Khumaini said: “Note that the Night of Majesty
is the night in which the Messenger (PBUH) and the Imams of guidance
would manifest. Therefore, all the secrets of the Dominion will be made open
to them. This manifestation is of the Dominion which encompasses all atoms
of nature and thus, nothing can be hidden from the successor of matters of
the subjects. It was reported that all deeds are shown to the successor of the
prophet (PBUH) and the Imams”.(2)
Comment:
Allah the Most High says: (And with Him are the keys of the unseen;
none knows them except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the
sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it. And no grain is there within the
darknesses of the earth and no moist or dry [thing] but that it is [written]
in a clear record) [Al-An’aam: 59]
The Most High also said: (Say, “None in the heavens and earth knows
the unseen except Allah, and they do not perceive when they will be resur-
rected) [An-Naml: 65]
E nquiry 55: What is the belief of Shiite scholars in the tauheed

Ar-Rububiyya (oneness of the Lordship of Allah?
Response: It will be known in a summarized form in the following

enquiries and Responses by the grace of Allah.
E nquiry 56: Does Shiite scholars believe in the existence of another

lord besides Allah; the Most High?
Response: the Shiite scholars invented a lie against Ali (may Allah be
pleased with him ) that he said: “ I am a branch among the branches of
Lordship”.(3)
They progressed in misguidance and invented against him (may Allah
be pleased with him) that he said-far removed is he from that-: “I am the
lord of the earth to whom the earth gets calmed with”.(4)

They said concerning the words of Allah; the most High: (And the earth
will shine with the Light of its Lord;..” (Az-Zumar:69) (meaning : the imam
of the earth).(1)
And they said about His world; the most High: “He said, “As for him
who does wrong, we will penalize him, then he will be returned to his Lord,”
[Al-Kahf:87] (he would be returned to the Ameerul-Mu’mineen peace be
upon him”…and He will punish him with an unheard-of torment.” [Al-Kah-
f:87](2)
Comment:
Allah, the Most High said addressing His Prophet (may the peace and
blessings be upon him)
“ So do not pray to another god with God, else you will be of those
tormented.” [Ash-Shu’raa:213], and He the most High said: (And do not
invoke with Allah another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything
will be destroyed except His Face. His is the judgment, and to Him you will
be returned.)[Al-Qasas:88]
E nquiry 57: Who is the one who controls the world and the hereafter
in the belief of Shiite elders?
Response: Their Imam. Al-Kulaini invented against Abi Abdulla (may

Allah have mercy on him) that he said-and far removed is he from that:
“Don’t you know that the world and the hereafter is the Imam, he places it
wherever he so wishes and gives it to whoever he so wishes”.(3)
Comment:
Allah; the Most High said: “Say, “To whom does the earth belong, and
everyone in it, if you happen to know?” They will say, “To God.” Thus when
the polytheist admitted , Allah scolded them denying their polytheism by
saying: “Say, “Will you not reflect?” The Allah says: Say, “Who is the Lord
of the seven heavens, and Lord of the Splendid Throne?” They will say, “To

God.” When they accepted Allah scolded them denying their polytheism
by saying: “Say, “Will you not become righteous?” Then Allah said: “Say,
“In whose hand is the dominion of all things, and He protects and cannot
be protected from, if you happen to know?” They will say, “To God.” When
they accepted Allah scolded them denying their polytheism by saying: Say,
“Then are you bewitched?” “In fact, We have given them the truth, and they
are liars. God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him.
Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some
of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far
beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He
is exalted, far above what they associate. [Al-Mu’minuun: 84-92]
E nquiry 58: who causes the occurrence of universal events in the

belief of the Shiite Scholars?
Response: Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (May Allah be pleased with him)!?
“Is there another god with God? Most exalted is God, above what they
associate.” (An-Naml:63)
They invented that: on the authority of Samaa’ata Ibn Mahraan that he
said: ( that I was with Abdullah alaihi salaam then there was thunder and
lightning in the heaven, then Abdulla alaihi salaam said: “what cause this
thunder and lightning is from the affairs of your companion. I asked who
is our companion? Then he said: the Ameerul-Mu’mineen alaihi salaam”)(1)
They claimed falsely that: Ameerul-Mu’mineen (may Allah be pleased
with him) rode on a cloud , then he said whilst on top of it: (I am the eye of
Allah on His earth, and I am the speaking tongue of Allah in His creation,
I am the light of Allah that never gets extinguished, I am the door of Allah
through which He is approached and I am His proof on His creation…)(2)
Comment:
What do you derived from these Oh you Muslim with right mindset,
is there not in it a claim from the Shiite scholars on the lordship of Ali (may
Allah be pleased with him), and that he has a share in lordship, whilst Allah
says:
“It is He who shows you the lightening, causing fear and hope. And He
produces the heavy clouds.” (Ar-Ra’d:12)
E nquiry 59: Does the Shiite scholars believes that their Imams have
power over the creation and over the resurrection of the dead?

(2) Madinatul-A’imma Al-Ithna Ash’ashar and Dalaa’il Al-Hujaj Alal Bashr 1/551
103
Response: Yes!! For the claimed that their narrator Ibn Qubaisa said:
(Jabir Ibn Yazeed Al-Ju’fi said to me: I saw my master Al-Baaqir who has
created an animal from clay, then he rode on it and flied in the air until he
went to Makkah and returns whilst on it. I didn’t believed from him until I
saw Al-Baaqir and said to him: Jaabir informed me about you on such and
such, then he created a similar thing and rode on it and carried me on it
along with him to Makkah and returned me back)(1)
They claimed that Ali (may Allah be pleased with him gave life to a dead
young man from among his uncles of the Makhzumi clan. He hit his grave
with his foot and lo and behold the young man came out of his grave and his
tongue has changed as they claimed he died during the time of Abubakar
and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both)(2)
They claimed that he raised to live all the dead ones of the Al-Jubaana
cemetery. Their false claims says: (when he was in the middle of Al-Jubaana
he uttered a word, then it got quivered and their hearts shrived with fear ,
and they were filled with fear as Allah wills and their colors changed…)(3)
They invented a lie that he (may Allah be pleased with him) hit a rock
then came out of it hundred camels. Their lies says: ( he hit a rock with the
staff of the messenger of Allah, then a sound of was heard, which is usually
like the sound of a camel in labor, then lo and behold, the rock opened then
a head of a camel came out of it with a rope around it, then he said to his
son Al-Hasan: take it, then came out of it a hundred camel with each been
followed with a young weaned camel all of which were black in color)!!(4)
The invented a lie that: He resurrected (Saama and the people of the
cave)(5)
Comment:
Allah says: “Or, who originates the creation and then repeats it, and
who gives you livelihood from the sky and the earth? Is there another god
with God? Say, “Produce your evidence, if you are truthful.”(An-Naml:64)
Allah the most High says again: “And he produces arguments against Us,
and he forgets his own creation. He says, “Who will revive the bones when
they have decayed?” Say, “He who initiated them in the first instance will

revive them. He has knowledge of every creation.” He who produced fuel for
you from the green trees, with which you kindle a fire. Is not He who created
the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Certainly. He is the
Supreme All-Knowing Creator. His command, when He wills a thing, is to
say to it, “Be,” and it comes to be. So glory be to Him in whose hand is the
dominion of everything, and to Him you will be returned. (Yaseen: 78-83)
E nquiry 70: what are the highest positions of Tawheed (monntheism)

according to Shiite Scholars?
Response: it is the saying of Unity of creation that indicates Oneness

of Allah . its reality is that the existence of their Imams is the real existence
of Allah; the most High, and that is the peak of tawheed (1)
“Be He glorified. He is exalted, far above what they say.” (Al-Israa:43)
Comment:
The extreme way of the Sufism was infiltrated into the twelfth shism
and nidify in the minds of the belated scholars of this dogma. There are very
resemblance between the ideas of Sufism and Shia.
E nquiry 61: what is the belief of the Shiite Scholars in the oneness
of Allah’s Names and Attributes?
Response: it should be concisely seen in the following issues In sha Allah
E nquiry 62: does the Shiite scholars believes in the concept of

Embodiment?
Response: Yes!? The first among their scholars to mentioned that Allah
is abody is Hisham Ibn Al-Hakam. He said that Allah is a body, that has an
end, and that He is very tall, and very wide, and that His height is like His
width, and that Allah is seven (7) arms length of His own arms length(2)
“Be He glorified. He is exalted, far above what they say.” (Al-Israa:43)
Their truthful one narrated (on the authority of Muhammad Ibn Al-faraj
Ar-Rukharajiy that he said : I wrote to Abi Al-Hasan alaihi salaam asking
him about what Hisham Ibn Al-Hakam said about the body , and Hisham
Ibn Saalim in image, and he –alaihi salaam –peace be upon him-wrote:

(2) Usul Al-Kaafi 1/73
105
leave the bewilderement of the bewildered people, and seek refuge from the
devil,it is not as mentioned by Al-Bahshamaan)(1)
He reported also: (on the authority of Sahl Ibn Ziyaad that he said: “I
wrote to Abi Muhammad in the year 255 A.H (saying): oh master, our people
have differed concerning tawheed, among them are those who are saying that
: He (Allah) is a body and among them are those saying He is an Image…)
Ibn Al-Murtada Az-Zaidi said: (many of the Rawaafid (shia) are upon (the
concept) of the embodiment except those mixed with the Mu’tazila}(2)
Contradictions:
It was narrated: (on the authority of Ya’qub As-Siraaj that he said: “I
said to Abi Abdulla alaihi salaam: some of our companions claim that Allah
is an image similar to the image of man, and some said: He is in the image
of a beardless and bald-headed man!. Abu Abdulla fell down in postration,
then raised the head and said: Glory be to Allah Who has no any likeness
to anything, and the eyes does not conceive Him and knowledge does not
encompass Him…)(3)
The Mortal Blow:

Al-majlisi said ( the belief of the incarnation of (Allah) the most High
or that He is a body…all such is disbelief)(4)
They reported: (on the authority of Ali Ibn Muhammad, and on the
authority of Abi Ja’far Al-jawwad Alaihimas-Salaam-peace be upon them
both-that both of them said: whoever says that Allah is a body should not
be given Zakaah, and you should not make salaah behind him)(5)
E nquiry 63: what is the faith of shiite scholars in Ta’teel (not accord-
ing Allah some of His deserved attributes)?
Response: after Shiite scholars have being very fanatic in the affirma-
tion Allah the most High’s attributes till such an extent that some of them
propounded the believe in the unity of creation in Allah! the Shiite believe
start to change at the tail end of the third century. This happen when some

(4) Al-Aqaa’id: pp;98
(5) At-Tawheed:pp;98 (chapter that Allah the most magnificient is not a body nor image)
106
of their scholars start to get being influenced by the leaders of the Mu’tazila;
those who believe in hindering Allah of some of His established attributes
in the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
Their highly learned scholar; Ibn Al-Mutahhir clearly declared that and
said: (our belief as Shiites in the names and Attributes of Allah is like the
belief of the Mu’tazilas)(6)
Comment:
Allah the most glorified sent His Messengers peace be upon them to
convey i His attributes in details, and to reject (what is not of His qualities)
in wholesomeness . due to this, there are affirmation of the attributes of
Allah in the Book of Allah in very clear and detailed manner and rejection
in wholesome. Allah said:
“There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.” (Ash_
Shoora:11)
The rejection was mentioned in a wholesome manner: (There is nothing
like Him.) this is mostly the methodology of the Qur’an. Howver in affir-
mation , it came in very detailed manner:’
“He is the Hearing, the Seeing.” the same applies to the ending verses
of the cha[pter of Al-Hashr, and the proofs of this are many…
E nquiry 64: what is the aqeeda of the Shiite scholars in the saying
of the creation of the Qur’an?
Response: the Shiite scholars treaded on the same path with the Jahmiya
and the Mu’tazila (8) in the saying that the Qur’an is a creation (and not
(7)
the word of Allah).

Their Sheikh organize a learning circle in a book on the Qur’an and said
(chapter: the Qur’an is a creation)(9) The Shiite scholar and leader; Muhsin
Al-Amin confirms this by saying (the Shia and the Mu’tazila says that : the
Qur’an is a creation-(and not the word of Allah)(10)
(6) Nahj Al-Mustarshideen fii usul Ad-Diin pp:32 by Al-hasan Ibn Yusuf Ibn Mutahhir

this is based on their rejection of Allah’s attribute of speech “ Be He

glorified. He is exalted, far above what they say.” (Al-Israa:43)
Disaster:
Imam Ar-Ridaa (rahmatullahi alaihi) was asked about the Qur’an and
he said: ( it is the word of Allah and not a creation)(1)
Enquiry 65: what is the belief of the Shiite scholars about the believ-
ers seeing their Lord on the Day of Resurrection, and what is their
judgment on the one who said that the believers would see their lord on
the Day of resurrection?
Response: they lied that (Isma’eel Ibn Fadl said: I asked Abu Abdulla
Ja’far ibn Muhammad As-Swaadiq (alaihimas-Salaam): about Allah the
Most blessed and the Most High whether He would be seen in the last Day?
He said: far removed is Allah from that, Oh Ibn Fadl: eyes cannot perceive
except one that has colors and modality or form, and it is Allah that creates
colors and forms) (2)
Their sheikh Al-Hurr Al-Aamili made the lack of seeing Allah one of
the origins of their belief(3) and their Sheikh Ja’far An-Nujafi ruled that
anybody that relates to Allah some attributes such as He being seen (on the
day of Judgement) has turn apostate)(4)
Comment:
This belief of the Shiite scholars in reality denies the existence of Allah !
because one that has no model or form has no existence, and this contradict
with what their Hujatul_Islam Al-Kulaini reported on the authority of Abi
Abdulla –rahimahullah-that he said: “ however, it is compulsory to affirm
that He (Allah) has a form that none deserves, and none shares with Him,
and that which none knows or comprehend besides Him)(5)

Disaster of the appearance of Shiite scholars:

Allah the most High said: “Faces on that Day will be radiant. Looking
towards their Lord.) (Al-Qiyamah: 22-23) And He said about the unbe-
lievers: “Not at all. On that Day, they will be screened from their Lord.”
(Al-Mutafifiin:15)
Again Abu Baseer asked Abu Abdulla –rahimahulla: (informed about
Allah; the most Glorified, shall the believers see Him on the Day of resur-
rection? he said: yes)(1)
E nquiry 66: does the Shiite scholars believes in the attribute of

Allah’s descent to the earthly heaven? And what is their ruling on
one who believes in this attribute in a manner that befits Allah’s majesty
and His greatness?
Response: the Shiite scholars denies the descent of Allah to the lower
heaven(2) and they apostatized whoever affirms this quality!
Their contemporary scholar; Muhammad Ibn Al-Madhfar said: ( and
whoever says.. that He descents to the lower heaven or that He shall appear
to the people of paradise or anything of that sort is like one who disbelieves
in Him. also one who believes that the creation shall see Him on the Day of
Resurrection is equated to a kaafir (a disbeliever)(3)
The mortal blow to Shiite scholars:

A man asked Abu Abdulla (Rahimahullah): ( do you say that He descents
to the lower heaven? Abu Abdulla alaihi salaam said: (we say that because
there are reports that authenticate that and narrations)(4)
Their Imam; Ar-Rida said: (there are three views of people in tawheed:
affirming with likeness, the view of denial and the view of affirming with-
out likening Him (to anything ), the view of affirming with likeness is not
allowed, the view of denial is (also) allowed and the way is in the third view:
affirming without likeness)(5)

E nquiry 67: is it true that the scholars of the twelth shia Imams
attribute to their imams the attributes of Allah; the most High and
give them the names of Allah?
Response: yes, and that was reported in their authentic books.

Their sheikh; Al-Kulaini invented a lie that: ( Abu Abdulla (alaihi
salaam) said concerning the sayings of Allah: “To God belong the Most
Beautiful Names..” he said: by Allah , we have the beautiful names to which
Allah does not accept any good deeds from the servant except by knowing
us). (1)
The Shiite scholars detailed invented lies on Abi Ja’far (may Llah have
mercy on him)-he is far from that-( we are the pairs that Allah gave to our
Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and we are
the face of Allah walking among you on earth. We are the eyes of Allah in
his creation, and His hands stretched out in mercy on His servants. Those
who knew us knew us and those ignorance of us are ignorance of us).(2)
They lied on Abi Abdulla (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said-far
removed is he from that-( indeed Allah created and beautified our creation,
and He molded our images and made beautiful our images, and made us His
eyes in His servants, and His tongue in His creation that speaks, His hands
that spreads with mercy and kindness on His servants, His face through
He can be approached, and His door that leads to Him and His treasures
on earth and in the heavens. With us the tree bears fruits, and the fruits get
ripped, with us the rivers flows, due to us rain falls from the heaven, and
the plants germinates, and with worshipping us people worship Allah and
were it not for us Allah wouldn’t have been worshipped)(3)
They alleged that: (with them sins are wiped, and with them oppres-
sions are eliminated , with them the dead are resurrected and with them the
living are caused to die, and with them people are afflicted and with them
He decree His preordainments among His creation)(4)
They alleged on their Imams that they said: (then we shall be brought
to sit on the throne of our lord)(5)
(3) ibid 1/103
(4) ibid 1/103
(5) Tafseer Al-Iyashi 2/335 (suratul-Bani Israeel)

They alleged that: Allah the All-Majesty said about Ali (May Allah be
pleased with him) whilst addressing the Prophet Muhammad (may the
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the journey of Israa’: (Oh
Muhammad: He is the First and the Last, and the Outer and the Inner, and
He has knowledge of all things.)(1)
Al-Kashiyu alleged on Abi Ja’far (Rahimahullah) that he said-far
removed is he from that- Ameerul-Mu’mineen Alaihi salaam said: I am the
face of Allah, I am the side of Allah, I am the first and the last, I am the outer
and the Inner, and I am the inheritor of the earth, I am the way of Allah ..)(2)
Comment:
How similar is the words of their Imams to the words of Pharaoh ( who
said) :“I am your Lord, the most high.” (An-Naazi’aat:24)
The Shiite scholars believes that their the following sayings of Allah;
the most High is about their Imams: “But will remain the Presence of your
Lord, Full of Majesty and Splendor.” (Ar-Rahman:27) and His words the
most High: “All things perish, except His presence.” (Al-Qasas:88), as they
alleged on their imams that they said: “we are the presence of Allah that
does not perish).(3)
They lied :( that Abi Abdullah alaihis-salaam said concerning the words
of Allah: “All things perish, except His presence.” He said : is about us)(4)
They alleged in the interpretation of the words of Allah ; the most High:
“God cautions you of Himself” (Aali-Imraan: 30) Ar_Ridaa alaihis-salaam
said: is about Ali, He (Allah) terrified them with him (Ali).(5)
They alleged on Abi Midmaar that on the authority of Ar-Ridaa, that
he said about the saying of Allah:“Whichever way you turn, there is God’s
presence.” (Al-Baqara:115) he said that is Ali ](6)

Contradiction:
The alleged on Ali ( may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:
“Whichever way you turn, there is God’s presence.” , refers to the remains
of Allah; meaning the Mahdi)(1)
The Mortal blow of the appearance of Shiite scholars:

The re[orted that their Imam; Saahib Az-Zamaan said about Shiite schol-
ars: [far removed is Allah from what they attribute to Him, Glory and praises
be to Him, we are not His associate in His knowledge and power, rather,
none knows the unseen except Him as He said in His Book: “Say, “No one
in the heavens or on earth knows the future except God;..” (An-Naml:65)..
the ignorance Shias and their stupid ones have hurt us and those that the
Mosquito’s wing is weightier than their religion. I seek Allah’s witness; One
that there is no deity except Him, and sufficient is He as a witness...that I
am free of obligation to Allah and His Messenger from what they say: (like
that): we know the unseen, and shares with Him in His dominion, or their
attributing to us a status different from the status He has created us for and
is has allowed us for..](2)
E nquiry 68: what is the understanding of Eeman in the doctrine of

the Shiite scholars.
Response: the Shiite scholars have made having eeman in their twelfth
imams as the entire eeman (faith). Their learned scholar; Ibn Al-Mutahhir
Al-Huliy said [ the issue of Imamship is one of the articles of faith through
which one deserves eternity in Paradise, and through which one gains safety
from the anger of the Most merciful](3)
Ameer Muhammad Al-Kaadhimi Al-Qazweeni said: (whoever disbe-
lieves in the authority of Ali alaihis-Salaam, eeman (faith) fallen out of his
account, and his deeds are in vain.”](4)
Comment:
Allah; the most High said: “The believers are those whose hearts tremble
when God is mentioned, and when His revelations are recited to them, they

strengthen them in faith, and upon their Lord they rely. Those who perform
the prayer; and from Our provisions to them, they spend. These are the true
believers. They have high standing with their Lord, and forgiveness, and a
generous provision.” (Al-Anfal:2-4). Thus Allah established faith for such
people without mentioning imamship
Again Allah; the most High said: “The believers are those who believe
in God and His Messenger, and then have not doubted, and strive for God’s
cause with their wealth and their persons. These are the sincere.” (Al-Hu-
juraat:15). He made them the truthful ones in faith without a mention of
imamship.
And He; the most High said: “This is the Book in which there is no doubt,
a guide for the righteous. Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the
prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. And those who
believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you,
and are certain of the Hereafter. These are upon guidance from their Lord.
These are the successful. (Al-Baqara:2-5). Allah made them those who are
guided and successful and He never mention Imama (imamship), hence, all
these glorious verses shows the falsehood of the belief of the Shiite scholars
in Imama (imamship) and praise be to Allah.
E nquiry 69: Did the Shiite iof scholars mention a third testimony
with the two Testimonies (shahadatain)?
Response : Yes! And that is the testimony that Ali is the waliyu (a friend)
of Allah; the most High. The retreats it in their call to prayer (the azan), and
after their prayers and they recite it to their dying ones.
Their scholar; Al-Majlisi: (it is far that the testimony of the friendship
(of Ali) should be part of the call to prayer…](1)
Their scholar of authority; Al-Kulaini alleged against Abi Ja’far (may
Allah have mercy on him) that he said-and he is far from that-: (make your
dead ones to recite at death the testimony of no deity of worship except Allah
and the wilaaya (testimony of Ali being a friend of Allah].(2)
E nquiry 70: what is the belief of the Shiite scholars about Al-Irjaa’?
Response: Faith according to the Murji’ah: is knowing Allah;

the most glorified and the most High. However, according to the Shiite
scholars it is: knowing the Imam or loving him! due to this they lied on the
(1) Bihaar Al-Anwar 84/111-the chapter of Azan and the Iqama)
(2) Furuu’ al-kaafi 3/82-the book of funerals: the chapter of making the dead recite the
shahaada)
113
Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him that he said-and he is far
from that-: “the love of Ali is a good deed that is not affected by an evil deed,
and hating him is a sin with which no good deeds benefits”.(1)
And he –peace be upon him-said- and he is far from that-:( were all the
creation to love Ali Allah would not create the Hell fire).(2)
And that he –peace be upon him-said- and he is far from that: “never
would any male or female servant dies and in his/her heart is a mustard seed
iota of love for Ali except that Allah shall made him/her enter paradise”.(3)
They alleged that: “none shall enter paradise except the one who loves
him from among the first and last generations, and none shall enter Hell
except those who hate him from among the first and the last generations”.(4)
Rather, whoever loves the Shias alone even if he does not follow their
religion: has entered paradise!, hence, they lied on Abi Abdulla that he said:
“whoever loves what you are upon has entered Paradise even if he does not
say (believes) what you are saying”.(5)
Comment:
Allah the most high said: “It is not in accordance with your wishes, nor
in accordance with the wishes of the People of the Scripture. Whoever works
evil will pay for it, and will not find for himself, besides God, any protector
or savior.” (An-Nisaa:123)
Allah the most High said also said: “Whoever has done an atom’s weight
of good will see it. And whoever has done an atom’s weight of evil will see
it.” (Az-Zalzala:7-8). They ( the Shiite scholars) have rejected belief in Allah
and in His Prophet peace be upon him and all articles of faith.. and never
left anything in the Islamic legislation according to their belief besides their
love in the Ameerul-Mu’mineen may Allah be pleased with him!? so what
is the crime of those who never knew him among the past nations? If sins
were not to be harmful with the love for him , then there is no need for their
awaited Mahdi…! And were the love for Ali enough there wouldn’t have
the need for the Imam because his presence and absence would have been

the same. Also if it is as they say, messengers wouldn’t have been sent and
religions and laws wouldn’t have been prescribed.
E nquiry 71: have the Shiite scholars invented rituals and actions
and set rewards for them without any guidance from Allah nor any
Sunnah of His Messenger peace be u[on him? we hope from you that you
cite examples on that?.
Response: yes, for example: cursing Abubakar, and Umar, and Uthman,
Muawiya, Aaesha and Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with all of them) after
every prescribed prayer: the scholars of shia regards that as the best deeds
of attaining proximity (to Allah).(1)
They (also) made slapping of the cheeks and tearing of dresses in the
name of mourning Husain as a great act of worship.(2)
Their Scholar Aali-kashf Al-Gitaa’ about: the ruling of celebrating the
10th of Muharram every year by emulating the assassination of Husain
(may Allah be pleased with him) and what befell him and his family, and
showing remorseful sorrow, crying, beating the chest, and seeking help by
retreating: Oh Husain Oh Husain..? and he Responded thus: (he replied
with the following verse)
“So it is. Whoever venerates the sacraments of God-it is from the piety
of the hearts.” (Al-hajj:32), “there is no doubt that such painful incidents and
imitating the grave pain is one of the great rites in the Ja’fariyyah sect”.(3)
Their source; Al-Mirza Jawaad At-Tabriizii said: “there is no problem
nor doubt, nor differences among the twelfth shia Imams that the slapping
of the face, wearing black cloths are among the sacraments of the Ahl- bait
alaihimus-salaam and that it is truthful of the verse: “ So it is. Whoever ven-
erates the sacraments of God-it is from the piety of the hearts.” (Al-hajj:32),
just as the demonstration of grief and sadness about which there are many
evidences about its permissibility in times of calamity of the Ahli-bait.
Whoever among the Shiite youths that try to disregard these rituals or
reduce their importance, then he is among the sinners with regards to the
rights of the Ahlu-bait and shall be Enquirystioned about it on the Day of
resurrection concerning what he invented by misleading people about the
rights of the Imams”.(4)

115
In addition, singing of poetry concerning the death of Husain are among

the me Response that lead to entering Paradise: they lied on As-Saadiq that
he said- and he is far from it- : “whoever sings about Husain alaihis-salaam
a poetry, and made one person to cry, would get paradise, and whoever
sings poetry about Husain and cries would get paradise, and whoever sings
poetry for Husain, and cried and cause others to cry shall get paradise”.(1)
They alleged that their imams possess the guarantee for their Shias of
entering paradise.
Al-Kulaini alleged on the auhtotity of Abi Baseer that Abu Abdulla said
to him-far removed is he fro that-: (if you return to Koofa he will come to
you: say to him that: Ja;far Ibn Muhammad says to you: stops what you are
upon and I will guarantee paradise from Allah for you) so when that man
came he called Abi Baseer and said to him: ( Oh Abu Baseer! Your com-
panions has given us what he guaranteed us, then the man’s soul departs,
so when I performed hajj, I came to Abu Abdulla alaihis-salaam and sought
permission to enter upon him. when I entered , he said to me.. Oh Abu Baseer
! we have given what we promised to your friend).(2)
Al-kashiyyu alleged that : “Abdur-Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaaj said: one year
I went out to my father Ibrahim Alaihis-salaam carrying a lot of money,
then Ali Ibn Yaqteen message me a letter asking him to pray for him. when I
finished my needs and sent him the money, I said to him: may I be sacrificed
for you, Ali Ibn Yaqteen requested me to ask for your supplication for him!
he said for the hereafter? I said yes: he said: then he placed his hands on his
chest and said: I have taken guarantee for Ali Ibn Yaqteen that he should
not be touched by fire”.(3)
Comment:
What a boast over Allah! as if they have the treasures of the mercy of
Allah, and as in their hands are the keys of the heavens and the earth, and
they share vouchers of forgiveness and deprivation. Do they share with
Allah planning and organizing?

Merciful? No indeed! We will write what he says, and will keep extending

he will come to Us alone. And they took, besides God, other gods, to be for
them a source of strength. By no meResponse! They will reject their worship
of them, and become opponents to them.” (Maryam: 78-82)
E nquiry 72: what is the proof that the shia are like the Khawaarij in
their views about those who disagrees with them?
Response: Their scholar: Al-Mufeed said: “their Imams are of consen-

sus that: the people of innovations are all disbelievers, and that their imam
has the chance of making him repent if that is possible . if they repent and
follow the truth (that is good) otherwise he should fight them for apostasy
and that whoever among them dies on that he is among the people of fire”.(1)
Their Scholar Ibn Baabaweih said:
“our belief in whoever disagrees with us in a matter of religion is as our
believe inwhoever disagrees with us in all matters of the entire religion”.(2)
Thus, the Shiite scholars are threatening (wa’eediyya) towards whoever
disagrees with them.
They are also like the Murji’ah with regards to whoever practice their
religion and affirms their beliefs.
Due to that they alleged that: ( when the reckoning Day is due, we take
control of the accountability of our Shia members. One who has oppression
is between him and Allah, we judge in that and He shall allow us. And he
whose wrong doing is between him and anyone among mankind, we seek
for it to be gifted to him in pardon and it shall be gifted, and one whose
wrong doing is between him and us we become the deserving of pardon
and forgiveness”.(3)
E nquiry 74: what is the doctrine of Shiite scholars on the belief in

the Angels (peace be upon them)?
Response: They believe that the angels peace be upon them were created
from the light of their Imams: they alleged on the Messenger of Allah may
the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him that he said-he is free from
that-: ( Allah created thousand Angels from the light of the face Ali Ibn Abi
Taalib alaihis-Salaam, and all of them are asking forgiveness of Allah for
him and his Shia, and love ones until the Day of Resurrection).(4)

☐☐ From among the duties of the Angels is their weeping over the grave of
Husain Alais-Salaam:
They lied: “that Haarun said; I heard Abu Abdullah alais-salaam saying:
Allah has charged four thousand Angels to guard over the grave of Husain
weeping over until the Day of Resurrection…”.(1)
☐☐ The desire of the Angels of the heavens peace be upon them:
They alleged falsely on Abi Abdullah that he said-he is far from that-: (
there is no Angel in the heavens and on the earth except that they ask Allah
to permit them to visit the grave of Husain alaihis-salaam, multitude descend
and multitude ascend).(2)
☐☐ According to the belief of the Shiite scholars, Angels are charged to
belief in the issue of Willaya ( Ali being Allah’s friend):
The shiite scholars says: that none responded among the angels except
a group among the Muqarabuun (the closest) angels, notwithstanding that
Allah prescribes punishment for whoever among the Angels that disagrees
, to the extent that Allah broke the wing of one of the angels for refusing the
wilaya of Ameerul-Mu’mineen!!
One of their liars lied on Abu Abdulla that he said-he is far from saying
so-: “that Allah presented the wilaya of Ali to the angels and they all accepted
except an angel called fatras, hence, He broke his wings”.
And that Miskiin (the angel with the broken wing) went with Angel
Jibreel peace be upon him to the Messenger of Allah may the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him to congratulate him on the birth of Husain
by Fatima. The prophet ordered him to roll himself in and smear himself
with the cradle of Husain so that he would be cured: ( the Messenger of Allah
said: I looked at his feathers and saw it germinating and blood flowing in it,
it became longer and joined his other wing, and ascend with Jibreel to the
heaven and got to its station).(3)
☐☐ The lives of the Angels peace be upon them depends on the Shiite Imams
and seeking salutations be upon them:
“The Angels don’t have food and drink except making salutations upon
Ameerul-Mu’mineen; Ali Ibn Abi Taalib and upon his loved ones, and
seeking forgiveness for his party (shia) and his allies”.(4)

“The Angels did not know how to glorify and sanctify before our glori-
fication)meaning their imams( and the glorification of our Shia”.(1)
☐☐ The angels complained to Allah about their love for Ali Ibn Abi Taalib
may Allah be pleased with him then Allah created an Angel “from light
on the image of Ali, then the Angels visit him every Friday, and every
Friday (they visit him) seven thousand times glorifying Allah and sanc-
tifying Him, and giving the reward to the lovers of Ali alaihi-salaam”.(2)
☐☐ Allah did not honored the angels except or their accepting the wilaya
of Ali may Allah be pleased with him:
They alleged falsely on the messenger of Allah peace be upon hi m that
he said-he is far from it-: (has the angels being honored except for their love
for Muhammad and Ali and their accepting their guardianship? Surely there
is none among the lovers of Ali alaihis-salaam who will clean his heart of
the dirt of cheating, rancor, and dirt of sins except that he becomes purer
than the Angels).(3)
☐☐ And when the Angels have a dispute, Jibreel (Allah be pleased with him)
descends to Ali bin Abi Talib (Allah be pleased with him) and ascends
with him to settle the dispute between them.(4)
☐☐ When a shi’ah person is in solitude with another Shi’ah member: { the
angels who keep guard say to one another: they have gone into solitude
and left us, may be they have a secret and Allah has cover them”.(5)
Contradiction:
This is a disbelief of the words of Allah the most glorified:“ As the two
receivers receive, seated to the right and to the left. Not a word does he utter,
but there is a watcher by him, ready. (Qaf: 17-18), and also His saying: “Or
do they think that We cannot hear their secrets and their conspiracies? Yes
indeed, Our messengers are by them, writing down.” (Az-Zukhruf:80)
☐☐ That the names of Angels mentioned in the Qur’an refers to their twelfth
Imams:
Due to this their sheikh; Al-Majlisi wrote a chapter : “chapter: they peace
be upon them are in rows, and glorifying , and they are people of known

stations, and are the carriers of the throne of the most merciful, and they
are the honorable angels in-charge of revelation”.(1)
Comment:
The extreme views of the Shiite scholars on the position of the near
Angels and lying about them is more of like denying the existence of the
Angels. This is because their denial of the role of the angels, their charac-
teristics and what Allah has honored them with, and making the wilaya a
religion for the Angels, and also denying the existence of Angels by misin-
terpreting their names and titles in the Qur’an for their Imams, or making
the role of the Angels to be for their Imams … and many things they said
about the Angels, whilst Allah says about the Angels:
“…they are but honored servants. They never speak before He has spoken,
and they only act on His command.” (Al-Anbiyaa:26-27)
And He the Most High says about again about them:“ Whoever is hostile
to God, and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel, and Michael-God
is hostile to the faithless.” (Al-Baqara: 98)
E nquiry 75: What is the belief of the Shiite Scholars about having
faith in the third pillar, which is having faith in the scriptures?
Response: There are two issues in it:

☐☐ First Issue:
The Shiite scholars believe that Allah the Most Glorified revealed Books
to their Imams, and among them are :
1) The Mushaf (Qur’an) of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)
Their scholar; Al-Khaw’ee said: “The existence of the Mushaf of the
ameerul-Mu’mineen which is different from the Qur’an that exist today in
terms of the arrangement of chapters is an issue that entertains not an iota
of doubt. The admittance of our revered scholars to that has relieved us from
the burden of verifying it”.(2)
Among what the Shiite scholars believe in is that Jibreel used to dictate
the Qur’an to Ali may Allah be pleased with him. They alleged falsely on
Abi Abdulla that he said: “the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him and his
family called Ali, and sent for a paper. Then the messenger of Allah dictated
to him peace be upon them on the inside of the paper then fell unconscious
Jibreel then dictated to him on the back of the paper. Then when the Mes-
senger of Allah woke up from his state of unconsciousness he asked: who
dictated these to you Oh Ali? He said: You Oh Messenger of Allah. the he

said: I dictated to you what is inside and Jibreel dictated to you what is on
the back and it was the Qur’an that was dictated to him”.(1)
2) The Book of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)
It was described by one of their liars that : “It is like the thigh of a man
spread open…by Allah it is the hand write of Ali peace be upon him an a
dictation of the Messenger of Ali”.(2)
3) The Mushaf of Faatima may Allah be pleased with her:
They lied on Abi Abdulla that he said-far is he from that-: “Faatima left
behind a copy which is not the Qur’an, but it is a word from the words of
Allah revealed to her, dictated by the Messenger of Allah and written by Ali
peace be upon him”.(3)
They alleged that “a copy that is three times of your Qur’an, by Allah
there is not even a single word of your Qur’an in it. He said, I said: by Allah
this is knowledge. He said: indeed it is knowledge but not like that”.(4)
Contradiction:
They forgot and invented a report that says: “The copy of Faatima alai-
has-salaam has nothing from the Book of Allah, it is just something that
was dictated to her after the death of her father peace be upon them both
and their children”.(5)
Their great Imam; Al-Khomeini said: “in another hadith he says
that: “after the death of the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him
and his family, Jibreel used to bring news of the unseen to Fatima, then
Ameerul-Mu’mineen will write it down” and this is the Mushaf (copy) of
Fatima”.(6)
Contradiction:
Their sheikh Al-Kulayni alleged on the authority of Abi Baseer that
the Messenger of Allah may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him
mentioned in a long narration that: “then a revelation came to the Prophet
may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and said: “The ques-

tioner asks about the punishment which will befall the unbelievers in the
guardianship of ‘Ali. It shall not be averted.” From God, Lord of the Ways
of Ascent. (70:1-3). He said: I said may I be sacrificed for you, we don’t recite
it that way, and he said: Jibreel revealed to Muhammad and this is how it is
in the Mushaf of Fatima”.(1)
With regards to the way this Mushaf was revealed: here is what Shiite
scholars alleged in a detailed description of the Mushaf of Fatima may
Allah be pleased with her. They claimed: “Abu Baseeer says: I asked Abu
Ja’far Muhammad Ibn Ali (the fourth Imam) about Mushaf Fatimah and
he said, ‹It was brought to her after the death of her father.› I said, ‹Is there
anything from the Quran in it?› ‹There is nothing in the Quran in it,› he
replied. ‹Clarify the matter for me.› ‹Its front and back covers are made of
ruby ‹ ‹May I be your sacrifice! What are its pages made of?› ‹The pages are
of white pearl.› ‹May I be sacrificed for you, what is in it?› ‹News of what
happened and what will happen until the Day of Judgment. News of celestial
occurrences, the number of angels in the heavenly abode, the number of all
Allah’s creatures—messengers and non-messengers—their names and the
names of all the people of their respective nations to whom they were sent,
the names of those who gave lie to their message and those who Responded
to the call (to righteousness), the names of all Allah’s creatures—believers
and non-believers—the names of all towns and the particulars of each town
in the East and West, the number of believers and non-believers in each
town, the particulars of those who belied religion, and of the particulars of
men and their tales from the first centuries, the oppressive rulers and the
duration of their rule, the names and details of each Imam and the period
of their Imamate.. In the Mushaf is the name of everyone Allah created and
the time of their death, the number and details of those bound for heaven,
the number of people going to hellfire; also in the Mushaf is knowledge of
the Quran—whatever was brought down in it, and of the Torah—whatever
was brought down in it, and knowledge of the gospel of Jesus (a.s)—whatever
was brought down in it, and knowledge of the Psalms, the number of trees
and their movements in every town…”.(2)
How enormous this fabricated Qur’an is in volumes and pages?
One of their reporters says: that their Imam said: “I did not describe to
you yet on what is in the second paper, nor did I uttered a letter from it”.(3)
4) A book revealed to the Messenger of Allah may the peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him before death approaches him:

Al-Kulayni fabricated on Abi Abdulla that he said_far is he from that-:

“Allah; the Mightiest revealed on His Prophet may the peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him a book before his death, and said: Oh Muhammad,
this is your will to An-Nujuba from your family. He said: what is An-Nujuba
Oh Jibreel?. He said : Ali Ibn Abi Taalib and his children peace be upon him.
there was on the Book covers of Gold, then he gave to the prophet peace be
upon him and his family to be given to Amerul-Mu’mineen alaihis-salaam.
And he should order him to one of the golden covers and work with what
is found there in. Ameerul Mu’mineen alaihis-salaam opened the cover
and acted according to what is in it. He then gave to his son Al-Hasan alai-
his-salaam and he opened a cover..then it continued in that order till the
coming of the Mahdi”.(1)
Comment:
“…They wrecked their homes with their own hands, and by the hands
of the believers. Therefore, take a lesson, O you who have insight…”(Al-
Hashr:2). Here as their claim, the messenger of Allah peace be upon him is
asking about who a Najeeb is? And that he peace be upon him never knew
who it was until death approached him!, this means that the messenger of
Allah-peace be upon him –as found in this their report, that he never made
known who a Najeeb is among his family and even , he never knew him
until during his death peace be upon him. Therefore, take a lesson, O you
who have insight. (Al-Hashr:2)
5) The Tablet of Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her):
According to the belief of the Shiite scholars it is a book revealed from
Allah the most High on His Prophet may the peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him, and he gave it as gift to his daughter Fatima. They fabricated:
{on the report of Abi Baseer that Abu Abdullah asked Jabir Ibn Abdullah
about the tablet of Fatima and Jabir said: “I bear witness that I entered upon
your mother Fatima (a.s) in the lifetime of the messenger of Allah, then I
congratulated him on the birth of Husain, then I saw a green tablet in his
hand, which I taught to be emeralds. I also saw a white book in it resembling
the color of the sun…} also in it he said:
{Bismillahi Ar-Rahmani Ar-Raheem-In the name of Allah the most
Gracious, the Most Merciful, this book is from Allah; the Honorable the
Wise to His prophet, His light, His ambassador, His veil and His proof.
Sent down by the trustworthy spirit from the Lord of worlds…I never send
a Prophet whose days and era get completed except that I appoint for him a
successor. Certainly, I made you superior over all other Prophets and made
your successor superior over all other successors. After him, I honored you
with your two grandsons, Hasan and Husain. I made Hasan the mine of
(1) Usul-Al-Kaafi 1/203-204.
123
My knowledge after the end of the days of his father and I made Husain the
treasure chest of My revelation, } at the end: { Abu Baseer said: if you had
not heard anything in your life except this hadith it would suffice you, keep
it hidden except your family”.(1)
The Mortal Blow:

They have related in this book reports that has shaken the foundation of
their building , causing their Shiite roofing to fall on them. they ruled that:
Ali may Allah be pleased with him was not part of the successors. They said
in their report: “on the authority of Abi Ja’far alaihis-salaam that Jabir Ibn
Abdulla Al-Ansaari said: I entered upon Fatima alaihas-salaam and before
her hands was a tablet containing the names of the successors from among
her children. Then I counted twelfth of them their last one is Al-Qaa’im
alaihis-salaam three of them is Muhammad, and three among them is Ali”.(2)
6) The scrolls of Fatima (may Allah be please with her)
From among its characteristics as fabricated by the Shiite scholars; that
Abi Abdulla ibn Jabir said: “I went to visit mistress, Fatima (as) the daugh-
ter of the messenger of Allah to congratulate her for Husain’s (as) birth.
I saw in her hand scrolls in white binding. I asked: O chief of the ladies,
what scroll is this? She said: It contains the names of the Imams from my
progeny. I said: Can I see it? She replied: Only the Prophet, the successor of
the Prophet and his Ahle Bayt (as) can touch this scroll. If this restriction
had not been there I would have given it to you. But I can permit you to see
it without touching it…”.(3)
7) The twelve scrolls :
They lied on the Messenger of Allah may the peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him that he said-he is free from that-:”Allah has sent down
to me twelfth stamps, and twelfth scrolls. The name of every Imam is on his
stamp and his features on his scroll”.(4)
8) The scrolls of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him):
In it: a scroll that contains nineteen scrolls which the messenger of Allah
gave as a gift or kept secret with the Imams. They fabricated on “Abi Ja;far
alaihis-salaam that he said: the Ameerul-Mu’mineen alaihis-salaam said:
(1) Usul Al-Kaafi 1/403-405.
(2) Usul Al-kaafi 1/408.
(3) Uyunul-Al-Akhbaar Ar-Ridaa:1/70
(4) Kamaaluddin watamaamun-Ni’ma 1/255.
124
surely with me is a scroll which contains 19 scrolls , which the Messenger

of Allah has given to me as a gift”.(1)
9) The scroll of the tail end of the sword:
They lied on Abu Abdulla that he said: “There was in the tail of the sword
of Ali alais-salaam a small scroll and that Ali alais-salaam called his son
Al-Hsana alaihis-salaam and gave it to him, and then hand over to him a
knife, and said to him: open it, but he couldn’t opened it. Then he opened it
for him and said to him read. Al-Hasan alaihis-salaam then read alif , Baa,
Siin, laam, then letter after letter. He then srolled it up and gave it to his son
Al-Husain alais-salaam but he couldn’t opened it, so he opened it for him,
and then said: read oh my little son. He read it as was Al-Hasan alaihis-sa-
laam. He then scrolled it up and gave it his son Al-Hanafiyya and he did as
was Al-Hasan and Husain. Then Ali alaihis-salaam took it and scroll it up
and then hanged it up on the tail of the sword. He said: I said to Abu Abdul-
lah: and what was in that scroll? He said: they are the letters that every letter
opens thousand letters. Abu Baseer said: Abu Abdulla alaihi-salaam said:
nothing came out of it except two letters until the Day of Resurrection”.(2)
10) The White and Red Skin Container:
Their authority Al-Kulayni: (that Al-Husain Ibn Abi al-Alaa said: I
heard Abu Abdulla alaihis-salaam saying: “With me is the white Jafr.” The
narrator has said that he asked the Imam “What is in it?” The Imam said,
“In it there is the psalm of David, the Torah of Moses, The Gospel of Jesus,
the Books of Abraham, the laws that explain the lawful and unlawful, and
the mushaf of Fatima… “With me there is the red Jafr.” The narrator has
said that he asked the Imam , “What is in the red Jafr?” The Imam said, “In
it there is the Armaments. It is because it only is opened for bloodshed. The
owner of the sword opens it to kill.” he narrator has said that ‘Abdallah ibn
abu Ya‘fur asked the Imam , “May Allah keep you well, do the descendants
of al-Hassan know this? The Imam said, “Yes, I swear by Allah, they know
it just as they know the night that it is night and the day that it is the day but
jealousy and worldly gains cause them to act in denial and rejection. Had
they sought the truth with the truth it would have been better for them.”(3)
11) The scrolls of An-Naamus:
The names of Shiite members are written in it until the Day of Resur-
rection!!
They fabricated that “Hubaabah Al-Waalibiyyah said: I said to Abu
Abdullah: I have a cousin who knows your merit, kindly let me know if he

is among your Shiite? He said: what’shis name? She said: I said: So and so
the son of so and so. He said: Get me An-Naamus. Then a big scroll was
brought. He spread it out and looked into it. He then said: Yes, here are his
name and that of his father”.(4)
(12) The scrolls of Al-Ubaita:
They fabricated that Ameerul-Mu’mineen Ali Ibn Abi Taalib may Allah
be pleased with him said-far is he from that- “by Allah if I was to be per-
mitted to talk to you, I would have talked to you without repeating single
word. And by Allah, with me is a vulominous scroll…and in it is a scroll
named as :” the scroll of the Ubaitata. Nothing was said about the Arabs
more than it. In it are sixty tribes from the Arab tribes and they have no
share in the religion”.(5)
(13) Al-Jaami’ah:
Al-Kulayni fabricated on the authority of Abu Baseer that Abu Abdullah
may Allah have mercy on him said-: “and with us is the Jaami’ah, and what
will make them know what is the Jaami’ah! The narrator said: I said: may
I be sacrificed for you, what is the Al-Jaami’ah? He said: it is a scroll whose
length is seventy arm’s length with the arm of the Messenger of Allah may
the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him..in it is a very lawful and
unlawful and everything people are in need of ..”.(6)
Comment:
The most wonderful and detesting issue is that all these books were
revealed from Allah and were made special to Ameerul-Mu’mineen Ali may
Allah be pleased with him and the imams after him. however, these books
remained hidden from the Ummah and specially you the Shi’ah except the
Qur’an of the Ahlus-Sunnah, about which your scholars believe it is altered
and reduced. What is then the meaning of your scholars keeping all these
divine treasures from you?
Finally, where is the Glorious Qur’an? Where are these Books? They said:
{it is now-meaning the Qur’an-is with our master Mahdi alaihis-salaam with
the heavenly books and the inheritance of the Prophets”.(7)
They are treasured up with their awaited Mahdi, almost close to a thou-
sand two hundred years. Why? Why?

Is it not possible that the dirty hands of the Jews has altered these reports
in your books and fabricated lies against your imams, whilst we all know
that the Muslims have no book except the Only One Book; the Qur’an which
is present and preserved. Allah says: (Surely, We revealed the Message, and
We will surely preserve it.) [Al-Hijr:9]
As for the presence of multitude of books , it is the characteristics of
the Jews and Christian!!. The Shiite scholars would never seize to emulate
the Jews and Christians?
☐☐ Second Issue:
The Shiite scholars believe that all the heavenly books are with their
Imams and that they are judging the people of with them!!
Al-kulayni fabricated that their imam; “Abu Al-Hasan read the Bible
before a Christian known as Bariih and Bariih said: “you were the one I was
searching for the past fifty years or your type. He said: then Bariih believed
and became good in his faith) and that Bariih asked their Imam and said:
( where did you get the Bible and other heavenly books from? He said: they
are with us as inheritance from them (the prophets) we read them as you
read and we believe them as you believe them. Allah would never place His
proof (meaning their imams) on earth and they would be asked of something
and they would say I don’t know”.(1)
Comment:
It can be deduced from these reports that the Shiite scholars have given
their imams the reading of the Torah and Injeel as was read by the Prophets
until the extent that they found in these books what to answer with for the
enquiries of the people. This is a going out of Islam and a call towards the
unity of religions, whilst Allah says: “Whoever seeks other than Islam as a
religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be
among the losers.” (Al-Imraan:85)
Also, Allah has abrogated all the heavenly revealed books with the
Qur’an. Allah the most High says:“And We revealed to you the Book, with
truth, confirming the Scripture that preceded it, and superseding it. So
judge between them according to what God revealed, and do not follow
their desires if they differ from the truth that has come to you. For each of
you We have assigned a law and a method. Had God willed, He could have
made you a single nation, but He tests you through what He has given you.
So compete in righteousness. To God is your return, all of you; then He will
inform you of what you had disputed. And judge between them according
to what God revealed, and do not follow their desires. And beware of them,
lest they lure you away from some of what God has revealed to you. But if

they turn away, know that God intends to strike them with some of their
sins. In fact, a great many people are corrupt. Is it the laws of the time of
ignorance that they desire? Who is better than God in judgment for people
who are certain? (Al-Maa’ida:48-50)
E nquiry 76: which one of the two is better according the Shiite schol-
ars: the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him and the prophets
or their Imams?
Response: Their Imam!!! Their sheikh Al-Ulbaa’ Ibn Diraa’ Al-Asadi

claims: “Ali is preferred over the Prophet peace be upon him…he used to
insult the Prophet Muhammad and claimed that: he was sent to call towards
Ali but he called towards himself”.(1)
The Mortal Blow:

With all these, we still found the Shiite scholars revering their sheikh
; Al-Ulbaa’ such that they fabricated a report that Abu Abdullah said to
Al-Ulbaa’ : (we have guaranteed you paradise”.(2)
Al-majlisi wrote in a chapter “… the Messenger of the Ulul-Azm (men
of determination) only attained that status because of their love for their
imams peace be upon them) then he mentioned 88 hadiths and said: ( the
reports on that are many and cannot be enumerated, we just relate a few of
them on this topic…”.(3)
It did not stop at that. In fact, the Prophets (Allah be pleased with them)
never deserved the status they are except by the virtue of the Imams of the
Shiites.
They fabricated a lie on Abu Abdullah may Allah have mercy on him-far
is he from that-: {nothing obliged Allah to create Aadam with His hands and
breathed into him his soul except the wilaya (guardianship) of Ali alaihis-sa-
laam. And Allah did not make Jesus the son of Mary a sign to world except
by his humility towards Ali alaihis-salaam. He then said: let be summarized
the matter: the creation wouldn’t have been given the capability to see Allah
(in Jannah) except because of worshipping us-their imams”.(4)

(2) Rijaal-Al-kashiy
(3) Bihar Al-Anwar 26/296.
(4) Ibid 26/294.
128
They fabricated: “Yunus denied it (the wilaya) , hence, Allah imprison

him in the belly of the whale until he attested to it”.(1)
Not only that, Allah never sent any prophet among His prophets except
that Ali was with him!!. they fabricated that the Prophet peace be upon him
said: “never was there a prophet except that he was sent with Ali secretly
and openly with me”.(2)
The mortal blow of the appearance of Shiite scholars:

“Abi Abdullah As-Saadiq alaihis-salaam said: a monk came to
Ameerul-Mu’mineen alaihis-salaam and said:..Oh Ameerul-Mu’mineen
are you a prophet? He said: woe unto you I am just a slave among the slaves
of Muhammad peace be upon him and his family”.(3)
There are many reports that Ali may Allah be pleased with him said:
“The best of this ummah after its prophet is Abubakar then Umar”.(4)
And his saying: “Never would I be presented with a man who prefers
me over Abubakar and Umar except that I lashed him the punishment of
the slander”.(5)
Hence, what he (Ali) may Allah be pleased with him do with those who
elevated him and preferred him over the Prophets and Messengers? No
doubt this doctrine is clearly wrong. Its falsehood can be perceived through
sound mind and what is known in religion by necessity, and history, and
biographies and nature. It does not need much effort to falsify it. It is one of
the justifications of the falsehood of the Shiite doctrine.
E nquiry 77: Does Allah justify His proof on His creation by His send-
ing of Messengers and revealing of the Qur’an or by their Imams
according to the belief of the Shiite scholars?!
Response: It doesn’t hold except with their Imam.

Their trusted scholar; Al-Kulayni said: “chapter: Allah does not justify
His proof on His creation except by an Imam”.(6)

They fabricated on Abu Abdulla may Allah have mercy on him that
he said: “it is by our worship Allah is worshipped, were it not for us, Allah
wouldn’t have been worshipped”.(1)
They lied again on him that he said:-he is far from that- “were it not for
them, Allah wouldn’t have been known”.(2)
Al-Majlisi in Al-Firya added that : “They wouldn’t have known how t
worship the most Merciful”.(3)
Mortal Blow to Shiite Scholars:

The proof of Allah upon His creature is the Prophets, as said by Allah (So
that there would be no proof for mankind against Allah after the Prophets)
[An-Nisaa: 165[. Allah never said after the Prophets are the Imams or the
then guardians and so on.
Allah also said: (…in order that the people will not have any argument
against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not
but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you
may be guided. Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves
reciting to you Our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book
and wisdom and teaching you that which you did not know) [Al-Baqarah:
151-152]
E nquiry 78: Do the scholars of Shiites claim that revelation came

to their Imams?
Response: Their principle is that “their Imams do not say anything

except its revelation from Allah, and this is a fundamental in their belief”.(4)
The fabricated that Abu Abdullah said: “Verily, amongst us are those
who are whispered to in their ears; and some of us are revealed to in their
dreams; and amongst us are those who hear sound just like the sound of a
chain when it falls in a basin; and amongst us are those who see it in form
of a picture bigger than Jibreel and Mika’eel”.(5)
The lied also that he said: “The angels do descend to us in our houses,
turn over in our bed and attend our proceedings. They come to us all the

time whether the leaves of trees are withered or green, turning over us their
wings and our kids play on the wings as they also prevent animals from
getting to us. They attend all salat with us and there is no single day or night
except that reports and deeds of all creatures in both heavens and earth are
presented to us”.(1)
Their greatest Imam, Al-Khumaini said: “Imamiyyah is nearness or
lovingness or acting or lordship or representing”.(2)
He Al-Khumaini also said that Allah will say on the Last Day that: “From
the ever living who dies not to the ever living who dies not. And afterwards:
I say “be and it is”, and I have made you to say “be and it is.(3)”
(Allah, the Lord of the Arsh (Throne) be glorified above what they
claim) [Al-Ambiyaa: 22]
He also said: “Verily, the world with all in contains is for the powers of
the most knowledgeable and most hardworking for the perfect guardian.(4)”
He again said: “Verily, the Imam has a eulogized position, a noble rank
and a naturally made succession. All matter of this earth submits to his rule
and powers; and it is a necessity in our belief that our Imams have a position
that can never be attained by a close angel nor a sent Prophet.”(5)
And, in their belief, anyone who denies the necessities of their belief is
a disbeliever.(6)
Worse is that this great scholar of theirs, Al-Khumaini, says that “The
Shiite Jurisprudent is of the same status as kaleemullah, Prophet Musa (one
Allah speaks with) and his brother Aaron (Allah be pleased with them
both).(7)
This was why their sheikh, Jawwaad Mughniyah refered to Al-Khumaini
as being better than prophet Musa (Allah be pleased with him).(8)
(1) Al-Kharaa’ij wa Al-Jaraa’ih 2/852 discussion 67 by Sa’eed bin Abdullah Ar-Raawandi

This is why they refer to Al-Khumaini as “the Imam”, because they

believe that being an Imam is better than being a prophet. Murtadha Kutbi,
who is a professor of social sciences in Tahran University, said: “According
to the majority of the Iranians, Al-Khumaini is no more considered as
Ayatullah (Sign of Allah). He is now Imam, which is a rare nickname given
to anyone in the history of Shiites.”(1)
This is why their greatest Imam, Al-Khumaini, inserted his name in
their call to prayers (adhaan). His name is in their call for prayers and even
before that of our prophet Muhammad (PBUH). They say in their call for
prayers: “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Khumaini rahbar. I.e. Khumaini is
the leader”.(2)
The Embarrassment:
Allah says addressing His Prophet (PBUH): (Indeed, We have revealed
to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after
him. And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants,
Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the book [of
Psalms]. And [We sent] messengers about whom We have related [their
stories] to you before and messengers about whom We have not related to
you. And Allah spoke to Moses with [direct] speech. [We sent] messen-
gers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no
argument against Allah after the messengers. And ever is Allah Exalted in
Might and Wise. But Allah bears witness to that which He has revealed to
you. He has sent it down with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness
[as well]. And sufficient is Allah as Witness. Indeed, those who disbelieve
and avert [people] from the way of Allah have certainly gone far astray.
Indeed, those who disbelieve and commit wrong [or injustice] - never will
Allah forgive them, nor will He guide them to a path. Except the path of
Hell; they will abide therein forever. And that, for Allah, is [always] easy. O
Mankind, the Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord,
so believe; it is better for you. But if you disbelieve - then indeed, to Allah
belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth. And ever is Allah Knowing
and Wise. [An-Nisaa: 163-170]
E nquiry 79: What is the belief of Shiite scholars regarding the fifth
article of faith, i.e. believing in the Last Day?
Response: They explain verses of the Qur’an on the Last Day to be

“Rebirth”, as will come later. They thus, fabricated that Abu Abdullah said:
(1) The Book of Iran: The society and Religion in the opinion of Imam Al-Khumaini, p. 216.
(2) Ath-Thaurat Al-Baa’isat, pp. 162-163 by Musa Al-Musaawi.

“Don’t you know that this world and the hereafter are both for the Imam to
put in place as he wishes and hand them over to whomsoever he wishes?(1)
E nquiry 80: Who makes the death of the believers easy on them
and make difficult that of the disbelievers on the, according to the
Shiite scholars?
Response: Al-Majlisi says on that: “It is compulsory to accept that the

Prophet (PBUH) and the twelve Imams are present at the point of death
of both the pious and impious as well as the believer and disbeliever. Then
they benefit the believer with their intercession to ease his death and cause
it to be difficult upon the hypocrites and haters of the family of the Prophet
(PBUH). It is needless to think about how that works, whether they appear
in physical bodies or resemblance and so on.”(2)
E nquiry 81: According to Shiite scholars, what is security for the

dead from the punishment of the grave?
Response: That sand from the grave of Al-Husein should be with him
in the used perfume and shroud.(3)
Contradiction:
Allah said there is no security except for the people of Tawheed (They
who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have
security, and they are [rightly] guided. [Al-An’aam: 82]
E nquiry 82: What is the first question a dead person is asked in the
grave, according to their belief?
Response: As usual, they fabricated that “The first thing a dead person
is questioned about is his love for the family of the Prophet”.(4)
Thus, the two Angels will ask the person “about his beliefs about the
Imams, one after the other; and if he has no knowledge of a single one of

them, he will be struck with a pole from Hell fire and his grave would be
set ablaze till the Last Day…and you dare not interpret this two Angels and
their question! It is a necessity of our religion.”(1) And remember that anyone
who rejects any of the necessities of the faith is a disbeliever.
Contradiction:
They fabricated that “the Prophet (PBUH) said: O Ali! The first thing
a servant is asked after death is about the testimony that there is no God
worthy of worship save Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah and you the guardian of the believers.”(2)
E nquiry 83: Do the Shiites believe in gathering after death before

Last Day?
Response: Yes!!
They claimed falsely that “during the period of the flag bearer or just
before it, Allah will gather a group of believers to be delighted by seeing the
Imams, their countries and a group of the disbeliever and contradictors for
quick revenge in this world”.(3)
E nquiry 84: In their belief, who is exempted from long standing

and crossing of the Siraat?
Response: The people of the City of Qum in Iran, which is the centre
of the Sufi nation!!
They fabricated to that effect that “Abu Abdullah said about Qum: They
will be judged in their graves and from their graves shall they be resurrected
to Paradise.”(4)
Comment:
Because of this, the scholars of Shiites are the largest brokers of real
estate in the city of Qum.

E nquiry 85: What do Shiite scholars believe about the number of

doors into paradise?
Response: They claimed falsely that Abu Al-Hasan Ar-Ridha said:

“Verily, Al-Jannah has eight doors: One of them is for the people of Qum,
and they are the best of our Shiites (supporters) between all other places.
Allah leavened our wilaayah (Rule) in their soil.”(1)
COMMENT:
One of the real estate traders amongst their contemporary scholars
added a ninth door to the numbers of doors of Jannah and claimed it is
opened for the people of Qum. He lied against Ar-Radhi that he said: “Jannah
has eight gates and three of them are for the people of Qum. Glad tidings
for them!! And glad tidings to them!!”(2)
Then why are the Arab Shiites still waiting? Why not meet up with your
three doors of Jannah before their closure?!
E nquiry 86: Who will judge people on the Last Day in the belief of
Shiites?
Response: Their Imams!!

They lied against Abu Abdullah that he said: “To us will be the Siraat
and the Scale, and the judgment of our Shiites”.(3)
They added and said: “The judgment of all creatures on the Last Day is
for our Imams (Allah be pleased with them)”(4)
They also fabricated against Abi Al-Hasan the first (Allah be pleased
with him) that he said: “To us will this creation return and upon us will be
their judgment. Anything they most have committed between them and
Allah, we will make Allah to let go of it and He accepted that from us...”(5)

Comment:
Allah says: (Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.)
[Al-Shuara: 113]
He, the Most High, also said: (Indeed, to Us is their return. Then indeed,
upon Us is their account.) [Al-Ghaashiyah: 25-26]
E nquiry 87: How will a person cross the suraat on the Last Day
according to the Shiites?
Response: Their scholars fabricated against the Prophet (PBUH) that

he said: “O Ali! When it is the Last day, I, you and Jibreel will be seated by
the siraat, and no one will be able to cross the siraat except one who was in
covenant with your wilaayah.”(1)
E nquiry 88: Who do they belief puts whomever he wants into Jannah
and Hell fire?
Response: Ali bin Abi taalib!!

Al-Kulaini lied against Ali (Allah be pleased with him) that he said: “I
took an oath with Allah that between Jannah and Hell Fire, none shall enter
either of them except based on my oath.”(2)
Their scholars again went to the extent of claiming that Ali (Allah be
pleased with him) said: “I swear by Allah that I am the judge of the people
on the Last Day. I share between Hell and Jannah and no one will enter them
except based on my apportioning. Verily, I am the greatest distinguisher
(between evil and virtue)...”(3)
They also fabricated that Abu Abdullah said: “On the Last Day, a pulpit
visible to all creatures will be initiated and a man will mount on it with an
angel to his right side and another to his left side. The one to his right hand
side would call out: O you creatures! This is Ali bin Abi Taalib. He will cause
anyone he wishes to enter jannah. The one to his left hand side would call
out: O you creatures! This is Ali bin Abi Taalib, the owner of Hell Fire. He
causes to enter therein anyone he wishes.”(4)

In fact, when the chains of the doors of jannah are moved, they will
make sound chanting: O Ali.
They fabricated that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “The chains of the doors
of Jannah are made from red Sapphire on gold plates. Whenever the chain
hits the plat it makes a sound chanting: O Ali.”(1)
E nquiry 89: What do the Shiite scholars believe about the one who
enters Hell Fire?
Response: They fabricated that the Prophet (PBUH) told Ali: “O Ali!
Should I not give you glad tidings? He replied, why not O messenger of Allah.
He said: This is my beloved Angel Jibreel telling me that Allah has granted
those who like and support you seven features:…..and they will enter Jannah
eighty years before any other people”.(2)
They later deemed it best to monopolize their Jannah, and thus fabricated
a report stating that “The Jannah was created for them and for whoever is
loyal to them, while Hell Fire is for their enemies.”(3)
Comment:
They have displayed similarity to Christians and Jews who said: (And
they say, “None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian.”
That is [merely] their wishful thinking, Say, “Produce your proof, if you
should be truthful.”) [Al-Baqarah: 111]
E nquiry 90: What do the Shiite scholars belief concerning belief in

destiny and predestination?
Response: Their sheikh, Al-Mifeed, said: “The most accurate opinion

from the family of the Prophet (PBUH) is what was reported from Abu
Al-Hasan Ali bin Muhammad bin Ali bin Musa Ar-Ridha that he was asked
about the deeds of the people whether they are created by Allah? Then he
replied: If they were created by Allah, He would have not denounced them
when He said: (that Allah is disassociated from the disbelievers, and [so
is] His Messenger). He did not disassociate Himself from the creatures

(d. 363)
137
themselves. He only disassociated Himself from their act of Shirk and evil
deeds.”(1)
The Shiite scholars continued hiding their belief on predestination until
their sheikh Al-‘Aamili said: “Chapter 47: That Allah created everything
except the deeds of His servants.” He then said: “I say: the belief of the Ima-
miyyah Shiites and the Mu’tazilites is that the actions of Allah’s servants
emanate from them and they are their created”.(2)
Comment:
Al-Kalbi reported that “Abu Ja’far and Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased
with the both) said: “All the Almighty is so merciful to His creatures that
He cannot compel them into committing a sin and yet punish them over
it. Allah is so Magnificent that there is nothing He would command to be
that will not be. He said: “the both of them were asked if there were a third
class between the compulsion and total predestination? They answered: Yes
and the difference between them is as wide as what lies between the skies
and the earth.”(3)
The Mortal Blow:

Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) said: “Curse be upon this
Qadariyyah. They read the verse (Except his wife, for We destined her to be
among the strayed one). Curse be on to them because there is no other who
destined her to be so except Allah”.(4)
Comment:
This narrative explains that the Imams believed in destiny, which could
be what the earlier Shiites believed in. however, the later Shiites deviated
from this route and blindly followed the Mu’tazilites. They looked the other
way away from the numerous reports that confirm destiny.
The even went to the extreme by saying that among the fundamentals of
their belief is ‘Justice’ just like the Mu’tazilites, which means refuting destiny.

138
Hashim Ma’roof said: “As for the Imamiyyah Shiites Justice is a pillar
of the religion. In fact, it is one of its fundamentals.(1)
Hit of the Hits:

Some of their scholars had the same opinion about destiny just like that
of the Ahlus-Sunnah.’(2)
E nquiry 91: Who innovated the idea of trustees, how many are the
trustees in number and who is the last of them, according to the
belief of the Shiite scholars?
Response: Abdullah bin Saba’ the Jew was the first to innovate it.
Ibn Baabawah in discussing the beliefs of Shiites said: “They believe
that every prophet had a trustee whom he entrusted with the Instruction of
Allah”. He then mentioned the number of the Trustees to be one hundred
and twenty-four thousand Trustees”.(3)
The Blow:
They fabricated that Abu Al-Hijaaz said: “Ameer Al-Mu’mineen (i.e.
Ali) said that the messenger of Allah sealed a hundred and twenty-four
prophets, while I sealed a hundred and twenty-four Trustee, and I was
(charged with responsibility) whereas others before me were not charged
(with responsibility).(4)
Al-Majlisi in his reports fabricated that “Al-Hasan bin Ali delivered
a speech after the death of Ali. He mentioned Ali and said: the seal of the
Trustees and the Trustee of the seal of Prophets and the Ameer of the mar-
tyrs and the pious people”.(5)
This means that there is no Trustee after Ali (Allah be pleased with him)
and that the Imaamah (leadership) of any other person after him is null and
void because they are not Trustees. But this sharply contradicts with the
belief of the Twelver Shiites from its origin. Thus, the entire house of their
beliefs is destroyed from the foundation.. How come the Shiite scholars
couldn’t realize this fact?! Nonetheless, Allah was right to have said: (If it

had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much
contradiction.) [An-Nisaa: 82]
E nquiry 92: What is the rank of Imamate in the belief of the Shiites?
Response:
1) It is equal to being a prophet:
They said: “Imamate is a divine rank equal to being a prophet”.(1) They
said also: “The truth is that it is as fundamental like being a prophet.”(2) And
also “The Rank of Imamate is like that of being a prophet”.(3)
Al-Khumaini said: “From the onset till the last breathe of the prophet
of Islam (PBUH), Imamate has been a twin brother to prophethood”.(4)
On this basis they fabricated that Ali bin Abi Taalib said: “Anyone who
fails to accept my wilaayah will not benefit from accepting the prophethood
of Muhammad (PBUH). No doubt that they are together”.(5)
Thereafter, they went to the extreme and added that:
2) It is higher and more honoured than being a prophet:
Their erudite scholar, Ni’matullah Al-Jazaa’iri put it that: “It is better
than prophethood and more hounourable”.(6)
Al-kulaini, in his ahaadeeth, reported that “Imaamah exceeds the rank
of prophethood”.(7)
They carried on with their usual deviance in extremism and said:
3) It is a fundamental amongst the fundamentals of the religion without
which one has no faith:
Muhammad Ridha Al-Mudhaffar, one of their contemporary scholars
said: “We believe that Imaamah is a fundamental amongst the fundamentals
of the religion, and faith is incomplete without it”.(8)

Ja’far Subhaani, who is another contemporary scholar of theirs, said:

“Shiite in its entirety agreed that it is a fundamental amongst the funda-
mentals of the religion…and based on that, believing in the Imamate of the
Imams is considered a necessity of a correct belief.”(1)
Al-Aamili, who they nicknamed “The Second Martyr” said: “Accord-
ing to the Imaamiyyah Shiites, believing the imamate of the Imams is a
fundamental of the religion as it is well-known their religious ideology”.(2)
4) The greatest amongst what Allah send His Messenger with:
Haadi At-Tahraani stated that “The greatest of what Allah send His
Messenger with is the matter of Imaamah.”(3)
5) It is one of the pillars of Islam:
Al-Kulaini lied that Abu Ja’far said: “Islam is built on five pillars: salat
(compulsory five daily prayers), zakat (compulsory Alms giving), sawm
(Fasting Ramadan), Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah), wilaayah (the succession
of Ali), and no one amongst them was emphasized like Wilaayah”.(4)
They also lied that he said: “Islam is built on five things: Salat, Zakat,
Hajj, Sawm and Al-wilaayah. Zuraarah said: I then asked which of them is
best? He answered: “Al-Wilaayah is best because it is the key to them all.”(5)
Comment:
This is a very clear disbelief because bearing witness that there is none
worthy of worship except Allah is greater than the issue of wilaayah, and
a non-Muslim cannot be a Muslim except after proclaiming that there is
no God worthy of worship except Allah. This what what the holy Prophet
(PBUH) fought the non-Muslims over. Allah says: (then kill the polytheists
wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait
for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer,
and give zakah, let them [go] on their way.) [At-Taubah: 5]

Abdulhadi Al-fadhli, a former usiniversity faculty staff in a university in Saudi said
“Imaamah is a pillar of the religion”. See his book: Religious Education, a methodologi-
cal approach p. 63.
141
He also said: (But if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, then
they are your brothers in religion.[At-Taubah: 11]
Thus, Allah made then our brothers once again after repentance and
no Imaamah.
The Embarrassment:
Their brother Al Kaashif Al-Ghitaa disgraced them when he said: “but
the Imamate Shiite added a fifth pillar, which is the Imamah”.(1)
6) Islam as a whole is (about) Imaamah:
They fabricated that “Al-Baaqir commented on the verse (Verily, the
religion before Allah is Islam), he said it means submission to Ali bin Abi
Taalib in his wilaayah”.(2)
They also lied against “Zainul Abiddeen and Ja’far As-Saadiq that they
both said: “(Enter into Islam completely in the wilaayah of Ali”.(3)
The Mortal Blow:

Scholars of Shiites narrated that when the people wanted to give their
covenants to Ali (Allah be pleased with him) after the murder of Uthman
(Allah be pleased with him), he told them: “Allow me and go look for someone
else. Verily, we are not confronted with a matter of different dimensions,
which the minds cannot withstand nor can the minds comprehend. The
horizons have become clouded and the path has become unknown. Note that
if I accept you call, I will lead you as I think and will not listen to anyone.
However, if you all forsake me, I still remain one of you. Perhaps, I may listen
and obey you since you have given me responsibility of championing your
affairs. I am to you a minister of good than a leader”.(4)
This text in itself shows that Ali was not specifically mentioned by the
Prophet (PBUH) to be the Imam of the people except when it was appropriate
for him to be. That was why he said: “Let me be and go look for someone else”.
This sacred text of the Rejecters destroys all they fabricated about Prophet
specifically naming Ali to be his successor as well as the twelve Imams claim.
They also reported that Ali said: “The people that gave covenants to Abubakr,
Umar and Uthman are the same people that gave me their covenant over
the same thing for which they gave them their covenants. It is not of anyone
who was present to choose otherwise and the one absent was not to refuse.

(4) Sharh Nahj Al-balaaghah 2/393 by Maitham bin Ali bin Maitham Al-Bahraani (d. 679)
142
It was a consensus consultation amongst the Ansaar and Muhaajiroon. If

they gathered and selected someone as their Imam, then it is the pleasure
of Allah, and if they went against what they earlier agreed to (i.e. Islam) by
innovation or otherwise, then they should be made to return back to that
which they deviated. If in a case they disagreed to return and then fight
them for taking to the path of non-Muslims”.(1)
It is clear in this text that Ali had no statement specifying him to be the
Imam. In fact, it stated that Imam is to be chosen by consultation amongst
the Ansaar and Muhajirum and whosoever they agreed on is made the Imam.
Anyone who then rejects the general decision is to be fought for taking to
path other than that of the Muslims. If there were a text from the Prophet
(PBUH) specifying Ali as Imam, he would have stated it clear”
They also reported that Ali (Allah be pleased with him) said: “By Allah,
I had no interest in the Khilafah nor to be the Imam. But you called me and
you aided me to it”.(2)
In this text, they claimed he was elected by the people and not becoming
the Imam by a text whatsoever from the prophet (PBUH). Is this not clear
evidence that all the fabrications put in place by them are but the handiwork
of the Jews?
E nquiry 93: Can you kindly mention some of the festivals innovated
by Shiite scholars?
Response: Among the festivals they innovated are:

☐☐ Festival of Ghadeer:
Abdullah Al-Alayili said in his sermon broadcast in Lebanon on
18/12/1380: “The festival of Ghadeer is part of Islam and whosoever denied
it has denied Islam itself”.(3)
Muhammad Jawwaad Mughniyah said: “Verily, our celebrating this
day is celebrating the Qur’an and the sunnah of the Prophet itself. It means
celebrating Islam and the day of Islam. Prohibiting the celebration of this
day is tantamount to prohibiting following the Qur’an, the Sunnah and
Islamic teachings”.(4)
(1) Ibid 4/787.
(2) Ibid 4/632.
(3) Ash-Shi’ah fee Al-Meezaan p. 534 footnote 1 by Muhammad Jawwaad Mughniyah

(d. 1400)
(4) Ibid p. 534.
143
They lied against Abu Abdullah that he determined the day by saying:
“the day of Ghadeer is the best of celebrations and it falls on the eighteenth
(18th) of Dhul-Hijjah”.(1)
☐☐ Festival of the Murder of Umar bin Al-Khattab:
Their scholar, Al-Jazaa’iri, wrote a chapter which he called: “Noor
Samaawi Yakshif ‘an thawab yaum maqtal Umar bin Al-Khattab” (Heavenly
light exposing the reward of the day Umar bin Al-Khattab was murdered).
He then stated, based on his chain of narrators, that the ninth day of Rabi’
Al-Awwal is the day.
He fabricated that their Imam Abu Al-Hasan Al-‘Askari said about
celebrating this day “Is there any other more sacred joyful than this day for
the family of the prophet”.
They again fabricated against the prophet (PBUH) that he said to
Al-Hasan and Al-Husein about the murder of Umar: “It is the day Allah
will take the soul of His enemy and the enemy of your grandfather. It is the
day that Allah will put to a stop the power of your hater and supporter of
your enemy…That is the day Allah will disgrace the one who usurped the
right of the family of my family…He will be put to shame as he mislead
people from the right path, altering the Qur’an and my sunnah…Allah
revealed to me saying: “I have instructed the Kiraam Kaatibeen (writers of
deeds) to withhold their pens from writing deeds for three days and I will
not write any sin against the people because of that day”. O Muhammad!
I have made that day a festival. I also pledged with my magnificence that
anyone who spends upon his family and relations on that day, I will increase
him in wealth and long life. I will also save him from Hell Fire, accept his
deeds and forgive his shortcomings”.(2)
They called their beloved person Abu Lu’lu’ Al-Majusi (the murderer of
Umar), Baba Shujaa’ Ad-deen (i.e. The Courageous one of the Religion)(3).
They also eulogize the day of Nayruse (Magi New Year Festival) just like
the Magi do.(4)

Comment:
Their reports have admitted that the celebration of the day of Nayruse
is a Magi festival.(1)
E nquiry 94: Is Imamate confined to a stipulated number of persons,

in their belief?
Response: The originator of Shi’ism, Abdullah bin Saba’ started by

limiting wilaayah (the government) to Ali. He lied saying that “Ali said: and
I am the seal of one hundred and twenty thousand four Trustees”.(2)
However, others came after him and mad the “wilaayah” general to all
his children.
Al-Kashshi, in his book Ar-Rijaal, has it “that the Satan or one who
believed in him is the one confining wilaayah to a specific number of people
amongst the family of the prophet (PBUH).
When Imam Zaid bin Ali came to know about that, he called him and
said: “O Abu Ja’far! I used to sit with Abu Ali Al-Khiwaan and he would
feed me and even make cold a hot bolus for me to eat out of pity for me.
How could he have got such feeling of pity for me without feeling pity for
me to enter Hell, by teaching you religion and did not teach me? I said: “may
I be sacrificed for you. It is his pity for you not to enter Hell that made him
withhold it from you. He was afraid that you may not accept it and thus you
enter Hell; and he taught me such that if I accept it, I am safe and if I refused
it, I would end up in Hell”.(3)
Comment:
This was how the Satan introduced the ideology of imaamah into shi’ism,
which later became a fundamental of their religion and accused Imam Ali
Zainul-Abidddeen bin Al-Husein of concealing the foundation of the reli-
gion even from his own son who was one of the most noble of the family of
the Prophet (PBUH). He also accused Imam Zaid of not qualified to bear
the worse rank of followers of Shiite sheikhs in succeeding the Imaamah
of his father….
This are narratives reported by scholars of Shiites, who also report that
this same Satan claimed to know from the father of Imam Zaid that which
Imam Zaid does not know from his father concerning fundamentals of
their religion.

E nquiry 95: Do the Shiite scholars differ in the number of their

Imams?
Response: Yes!
As usual, Al-Kulaini lied against Abu Ja’far that he said: “Allah disclosed
the government as a secret to Jibreel, Jibreel then passed the secret onto
Muhammad (PBUH); Muhammad )PBUH) then passed it on to Ali and
Ali passed it on to whomsoever he wished”.(1)
Al-Maazandaraani said: “from among his pure children and the secret
keepers amongst the believers.”(2)
This report neither specified the number nor the persons. It was as if
the matter, at this stage, was yet to be stabilized.
It later developed into reports stipulating the number of the Imams to be
seven, “the seventh of us is the flag bearer”(3). This is where the Isma’iliyyah
Shiites stopped at.
However, as at the time the number of Imams increased within the
quarters of the Musawiyyah and Qat’iyyah Shiites – called the Twelver
Shiites – this narrative become a point of concern and doubt to followers
of the sect. This made the founders of this sect go into fabricating reports
to counter this. They said: “On the authority of Dawud ar-Raqi who said:
“I said to Abu Al-Hasan Ar-Ridha: may I be sacrificed for you. There is one
thing from you that I cannot comprehend hitherto.” He asked: what is it?”
I said: “I heard a hadith from Dhurayh which he reported from Abu Ja’far”.
He said to me: What is it? I replied that I heard from Dhurayh that: the
seventh of us is the flag bearer by the grace of Allah. He said: You are right,
Dhurayh is right and Abu Ja’far is right.” By Allah, I became more confused.
He then said: “O Dawud bin Abi Khalid! By Allah, if not that prophet Musa
said by the grace of Allah to the scholar (Khidhr), he wouldn’t have been
able to ask him any questions.in the same way, if not that Abu Ja’far said by
the grace of Allah, it would have been as he said it.” He said: “I then took
to that opinion”.(4)
This is the basis upon which the Shiites founded their Badaa’ah and
Allah’s changing His will as will later be detailed. It continued developing
until reports found in Al-kaafi and other sources put the number of Imams
at thirteen.

Al-Kulaini, At-Tousi(1) and others fabricated that “Abu Ja’far said: the
messenger of Allah said: I, twelve of my progeny and you, Ali, are the pillars
of the earth. It is with us that Allah held firm this earth in order not to sink
with its inhabitants. And when the twelve of my progeny leaves, the earth
will sink with its inhabitant without pity”.
Comment:
This text explicitly puts the total number of their Imams at twelve (12)
without Ali and thirteen if Ali is included. This torpedoes the whole religion
of Shiites!!
Al-Kulaini also fabricated that “Abu Ja’far said that Jabir bin Abdullah
Al-Ansaari said: I came to Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her) and in her
hands was a slate containing the names of the Trustees from her children.
I counted twelve with the flag bearer being the last”.(2)
As a conclusion to this issue, I quote the following report:
Furaat Al-Kufi claimed falsely that Imam Zaid bin Ali bin Al-Husein
said: “Those who are infallible amongst us are only five. I swear by Allah
that they have no sixth”(3).
Hit of the Hits:

O you Shiites! Do you know how many Mahdis your scholars belief in?
it is very strange to know that your scholars believe that after the twelfth
Imam is when Mahdi would appear.? They fabricated that Ja’far reported
that his father said: “The messenger of Allah said on the night in which
he died: O Abu Al-Hasan! Bring a paper and ink. The prophet (PBUH)
dictated to him until he got to this point. He said: O Ali! There will come
after me twelve Imams and after them will be twelve Mahdis, and you are
the first of the twelve Imams”. He continued: “Al-Hasan(4) will hand it to his
son Muhammad al-Mutafidh from the family of Muhammad. That will be
twelve Imams. Then after them will be twelve Mahdis. When death comes
to him let him hand it over to his closest son to him, who will have three
names like mine, my father’s and Ahmad. The third name is Al-Mahdi and
he is the first believer”.(5)

Contradiction:
At-Tousi reported that they are eleven in number. “On the authority
of Abi Hamzah who said that Abu Abdullah said in long hadeeth: O Abu
Hanzah! Verily, after the flag bearer, there will be among us eleven Mahdis
from the progeny of Al-Husein”.(1)
The Burner:
They reported that Ali (Allah be pleased with him) was the last of the
Trustees. Therefore, there is no trustee after him. This is a big disaster to
the house of the Shiites.
They claimed that Ali said: “I am Allah’s secretary, His secret keeper,
His veil, His face, His scale and I resurrect and gather the dead for Allah.
I am the word of Allah by which the separated people are joined and the
joint ones are separated. I am Allah’s beautiful names, His attributes and
greatest sign. Unto me will the entire creation resurrect, I will punish the
people of Hell and grant enjoyment to the people of Jannah. I will judge all
creatures. I am the inheritor of all prophets and seal of the trustees. I am
God’s representative and the right path…..I am the knower of the hidden
and the final say. The clouds, thunder, lightning, light, darkness, winds,
mountains, seas, stars, moon, and etc. have been made subservient to me….
I am the guider and the one who has the total number of everything… I
am the one my Lord ascribed His name to. I am His word, His wisdom, His
Knowledge, His comprehension…”(2)
Comment:
What then did the Shiite scholars retain for Allah? (They have not
appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth entirely will be [within]
His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His
right hand. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.)
[Az-Zumar: 67]
E nquiry 96: Did they call one another disbelievers based on their
differences in the number of their Imams?
Response: Yes and it is much. May Allah protect us. For example: in the
year (199), sixteen men gathered in front of the door of Abu Al-Hasan, the
second, Ali Ar-Ridha. One of the men called Ja’far bin Isa said to him: “O
master! We are here to complain about the condition of our people to Allah
and you. He said: What is it about them? Ja’far said: I swear by Allah that

they call us disbelievers and disassociate from us. He then said: this was how
the followers of Ali bin Al-Husein, Muhammad bin Ali and Ja’far bin Musa
(Allah be pleased with them) were. The followers of Zuraarah used to call
others disbelievers just as the others called them disbelievers too… Yunus
said: May I be sacrificed on your behalf, They claim we are Disbelievers!”(1)
Comment:
This was the situation of their very first squad. So what does one expect
from the later generations up to the contemporary scholars? Allah was right
when He said: (Indeed they found their fathers astray. So they hastened [to
follow] in their footsteps.) [As-Saffat: 69-70]
E nquiry 97: What is their way out before their followers in the
number of Imams?
Response: They called it: “deputation of the Mujtahid for the Imam”.
But yet, they differ in defining deputation.(2)
In this present time, Shiite scholars have been compelled to completely
abandon this principle which is the foundation of their religion. Hence, the
leadership of the Iranian country is to be established through elections.
E nquiry 98: What is the Ruling concerning one who denies the
Imamate of one of the Imams according to the creed of the Shiite
scholars?
Response: There is a consensus among the Imamiyya that whoever

denies the Imamate of one of the Imams and rejects what Allah has made
obligatory upon him of obedience then he is a disbeliever, misguided and
deserves eternity in hell fire.(3)
Their council of scholars have also said: (know that calling those who do
not belief in the Imamate of the commander of the faithful and the Imams
from his son- peace be upon them, and those who prefer others over them
unbelievers and polytheist show that they are disbelievers who will be eter-
nally condemned to hell fire)(4)

Commentary:
It has been stated earlier that they accept the narrations of those who
deny most of the Imams! Such as the narrations of the Al-fathiya like: Abdul-
lah bin Bakeer, and the narrations of Alwaqifiyya like: Sama’at bin Mahran,
and the An-Nawusiyya and so on, and in spite of all that Shiite scholars
authenticated some narrators of these sect who deny many of their Imams!!?
E nquiry 99: what is the position of the Prophet and Shia Imams on
the Companions in their books?
Response: The Prophet- peace be upon him- said: (O Allah forgive the
Helpers, their children, and their grandchildren, O gathering of the helpers:
does it not pleases you that others should return with goats and sheep while
you return with the Messenger of Allah in your share? They said: yes we
agree then the Prophet said: the helpers are my stomach and bag, if people
follow a valley and the helpers follow a mountain pass, I would follow the
pass of the helpers, O Allah forgive the Helpers)(1)
Ali bin Abi Talib-may Allah be pleased with him- said: (those who pre-
ceded have succeeded with their precedence, and the first emigrants have
gone with their virtues)(2)
He-may Allah be pleased with him- also said: (indeed I have seen the
companions of Muhammad-peace be upon him, I cannot see anyone com-
parable to them among you, indeed, they used to wake up unkempt and
dusty while they had passed the night in prostration and standing, they
alternate between their foreheads and cheeks, they used to stand on the likes
of live coal because of their remembrance of the hereafter, it is like a caravan
has passed between their eyes as a result of long prostration, when Allah
is mentioned their eyes become disregarded until their foreheads are wet,
and they are shaken like a tree is shaken when there is strong wind because
of fear of Allah’s punishment and hope for His reward)(3).
He also said: (I advise you concerning the companions of the Prophet,
do not abuse them, for indeed they are the companions of your prophet,
and they have not innovated anything in the religion, and they have not
honoured an innovator, yes: so he advised me concerning them).(4)

He also said about the helpers (when they accommodated the Prophet
and his companions, and they helped the course of Allah and His religion,
the Arabs rejected them completely, the Jews formed alliance against them,
the Arab tribes fought them one after the other, hence they dedicated them-
selves to helping the religion of Allah, they cut off all relationship between
them and the Arabs, and all agreements between them and the Jews, and
they stood in the face of the people of Najd, Tahama, Makkah, Al-yamama,
and the people of Al-hazn and Sahl. They established the channels of the
religion, and they persevered under the enthusiasm of the executioner until
till the Arabs were conquered by the Prophet, and he saw the comfort of his
eyes before Allah took his soul)(1)
Zainul Abideen used to supplicate for them in his prayers saying: (O
Allah bless specifically the companions of the Prophet, those who were best
in their companionship, who faced a lot of trials in rendering their assis-
tance… O Allah and bless those who followed them in good, those who say:
our Lord forgive us and our brethren who preceded us in faith… and those
who departed their wives and children in uplifting the word of Allah, and
fought their fathers and children in establishing his prophet hood)(2)
Abu Abdillah-may Allah have mercy on him- said: (the companions of
the messenger of Allah were twelve thousand, eight thousand from Medina,
two thousand from Makkah, two thousand from At-Talqaa, no one among
them was seen following the doctrine of Qadariya, Murjiya, Haruriya,
Mutazila, or people of desires, they used to cry day and night, and they
used to say: O Allah take our souls before we eat leavened bread).(3)
Ar-Ridha-may Allah have mercy on him- was asked about the saying
of the Prophet: (my companions are like stars, whoever among them you
follow, you will be guided)? And also about the saying of the Prophet: (leave
my companions alone)?
He said: (they are authentic; he meant those who did not change their
religion after him)(4)
Al-hasan Al-askaree narrated that Musa asked Allah: (are there among
the companions of prophets those who are more honourable than my
companions? Allah said: O Musa don’t you know that the virtues of the

companions of Muhammad over the companions of other prophets are like

the virtues of the household of Muhammad over the household of all other
prophets and the virtues Muhammad over all other prophets?)(1)
He also narrated that Allah said to Adam-peace be upon him: (a person
who hates the household of Muhammad and his companions or anyone
among them will be punished by Allah such that if the punishment is divided
among the number of the creation of Allah it will destroy them)(2)
E nquiry 100: How do Shia scholars interpret these narrations? Do

they accept them?
Response: They interpret them to be a form of At-Taqiyya!(3), they also

claim they are few narration compared to their many narrations which
renders the companions of the Prophet as disbelievers and curses them.
Hence, they do not accept these narrations. Their scholar Al-Mufid said:
(narrations which are of At-Taqiyya are not as much as the narrations we
are working with)(4)
Thus, Shiite scholars have taken the creed of At-Taqiyya as a toy in their
hands which they use according to their desires. Hence, there is nothing like
Ahlul Bait school of thought rather, what you have is the school of thought
of Al-Kulainee, Al-Majlisee, and their likes and this will be manifest with
the following.
E nquiry 101: Did Shiite scholars follow their Imams in praising and
loving the companions of the messenger of Allah?
Response: No! this will be clear to you through the following two issues:
The First issue: their scholars believe all the Muslims committed apostasy
after the death of the Prophet.
Their scholar Muhammad Ridha Al-Mudhfar said: (the Prophet died
and no doubt all the Muslims, I don’t know of now turned away from his
religion)(5)

152
In fact, they said: nobody believed in the Prophet except one person,
and he was the one who left his town in search of the truth… and that is
Salman Al-faarisee-may Allah be pleased with him.(1)
Commentary:
See how Shiite scholars judged all the Muslims including the companions
and the household of the Prophet as having turned away from the religion;
we seek refuge from Allah from misguidance and its people.
Another Shiite scholar, At-Tastaree said about the companions: (Muham-
mad came and guided a lot of people but after his death they turned away
from his religion)(2). Their leader An-Nuri At-Tabrasee also said: (we the
Imamiyya sect are of the opinion that all the companions committed apos-
tasy except few)(3)
They also lied against Abu Jafaar claiming that he said: (people com-
mitted apostasy after the Prophet except three, I said: who are these three?
He replied: they are Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad, Abu zar Al-Gifaaree, and
Salman Al-faarisee)(4)
Contradiction:
Their scholar Al-Jazairee said:( “people committed apostasy after the
Prophet except four: Salman Al-faarisee, Abu zar, Al-Miqdad, Ammar” and
there is no problem with this)(5)
Contradiction:
(from Fudhail bin Yasar, from Abi Jafaar, he said: verily, when the
Prophet died, all the people became like the people of Jahiliyya except four:
Ali, Al-Miqdad, Salman, Abu zar, I said: what about Ammar? He said: if you

really want those whose faith were not affected then, they are these three)(1),
even though he said four!

These sinister narrations which Shiite scholars have fabricated expose
their true creed, and show that they are enemies of the household of the
Prophet, just as they are enemies of the messenger of Allah and his compan-
ions. They foolishly believe that these narrations are proofs that Al-hasan,
Al-hussain, Fatima, and the households of ‘Aqeel, Jafaar, Al-‘abbass, and the
household of Ali are all people of Jahiliyya and have committed apostasy-we
seek refuge from Allah. Dear reader, is this not a clear proof that Shiism is
nothing but a cover up used to carryout evil objectives against Islam and
its people, and that those who fabricated these narrations among Shiite
scholars are enemies of the companions and the household of the Prophet?
The second issue: their belief that most of the companions during the
lifetime of the Prophet were hypocrites.
Their scholar, At-tastaree said: (few accepted Islam…and many submit-
ted because of the honor of the messenger…hence, they remained disposed
to hypocrisy and entrenching dissension.)(2)
The Mortal Blow:

They narrated from their imam, Abi Abdallah-may Allah have mercy
on him- that he said: (the companions of the Prophet were twelve thousand,
eight thousand from medina, two thousand from makkah, and two thousand
from At-Talqaa, , no one among them was seen following the doctrine of
Qadariya, Murjiya, Haruriya, Mutazila, or people of desires, they used to
cry day and night, and they used to say: O Allah take our souls before we
eat leavened bread)(3)
Commentary:
Allah-the most High- testified in different parts of the Quran that He is
pleased with the companions and praised them, like the saying of Allah: “And
the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and
those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them
and they are pleased with Him” (Q9:V100), and the saying of Allah: “Not

equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and
fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater in degree than they
who spent afterwards and fought. But to all Allah has promised the best
[reward].” (Q57:V10), and the saying of Allah: “Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful
among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seek-
ing bounty from Allah and [His] pleasure.” (Q48:V29), and the saying of
Allah: “Certainly was Allah pleased with the believers when they pledged
allegiance to you, [O Muhammad], under the tree, and He knew what was
in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity upon them and rewarded them
with an imminent conquest” (Q48:V18), and the saying of Allah: “For the
poor emigrants who were expelled from their homes and their properties,
seeking bounty from Allah and [His] approval and supporting Allah and
His Messenger, [there is also a share]. Those are the truthful.” (Q59:v8) and
other similar verses.
So, how can a reasonable person reject what all Muslims know from
the Quran with certainty because of these kinds of narrations fabricated
by Shiite scholars who do not fear their Lord and do not attribute to Him
His due grandeur?
E nquiry 102: What is the creed of the Imamiyya on Abubakar in

brief?
Response: Indeed Ali-may Allah be pleased with him- used to pray

behind Abubakar and was pleased with his leadership.
Their scholar, AtTabrasee said: (then Ali stood up and prepared for
prayers, he came to the mosque and prayed behind Abubakar…)(1)
Their scholar, At-Tusee said concerning the prayers of Ali behind Abu-
bakar and some companions: (that is admitted because it is obvious).
It was also widely reported that Ali- may Allah be pleased with him -
said: (the best of this ummah beside the Prophet is Abubakar and secondly
Umar)(2)
Ali also said: (Anyone brought to me preferring me over Abubakar and
Umar will be flogged for committing slander)(3)

When he-may Allah be pleased with him- was asked why he pledged
allegiance to Abubakar he said: (if not that we saw Abubakar fit for it, we
wouldn’t have left it)(1)
Ali also said when asked: (won’t you make a will, he said: the Prophet
did not leave a will so why should I, however, if Allah wishes good for the
people He will unite them upon the best of them just as He united them
after the death of the Prophet on the best of them)(2)
He also said in his sermon: (O Allah better our affairs with that which
You bettered the affairs of the rightly guided companions, it was said to him:
who among them? He said: Abubakar and Umar, two leaders of guidance,
whoever imitates them will be protected, and whoever follows their footsteps
will be guided to the right path)(3)
Some people came from Iraq to the Imam of Shiism, Zainul Abidin,
Ali bin Al-Hasan, (they spoke about Abubakar, Umar, and Usman, so when
they finished, he said to them: why not tell me, are you people: “emigrants
who were expelled from their homes and their properties, seeking bounty
from Allah and [His] approval and supporting Allah and His Messenger,
[there is also a share]. Those are the truthful.” They said: no! he said: are
you people: “those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith
before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want
in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference
over themselves, even though they are in privation.” They said: no! He said:
you have all renounce d yourselves from being among these two groups, and
I bear witness that you are not among those Allah said concerning them:
“And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, “Our Lord,
forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our
hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed
You are Kind and Merciful.” Get out of my place!)(4)
Abu Jafaar Al-Baaqir was asked about decorating one’s sword with
gold, he said: (there is nothing wrong with that, indeed Abubakar As-Sidiq
decorated his sword with gold, it was said to him: do you call him As-Sidiq?
He said: yes I call him As-Sidiq and repeated that three times, then he said:

he sees this as At-Taqiyya
156
whoever does not call him As-Sidiq may Allah not make his words truthful
in this world and the hereafter)(1)
Some people from among the leaders and nobilities of Kufa and those
who pledged allegiance to Zaid gathered and said to him: may Allah have
mercy on you, what will you say about Abubakar and Umar? He said: I
will only say good about them just like I did not hear about them from my
household except good, they did not wrong us or anyone beside us, and
they worked with the book of Allah and the sunnah of His Messenger. So,
when the people of Kufa heard this from him, they rejected him. So, Zaid
said: they rejected us today, and that is why this group of people are called
the rejecters.(2)
The imam of Mutazila, Nashwan Al-Himyaree narrated from him that
when they said to him: (you either renounce them or we reject you? He said:
Allah is the greatest, my father narrated to me that the Prophet said to Ali:
“verily, a people will emerge claiming to love us, they have a nickname for
which they are known, if you meet them kill them because they are poly-
theists”, go away, you are rejecters)(3)
E nquiry 103: Did Shiite scholars follow their Imams in their belief
about Abubakar As-Sidiq?
Response: No! Rather Shiite scholars curse and call Abubakar a disbe-
liever and a transgressor. Among their creed on Abubakar include:
That (he dedicated the most of his life to serving idols)(4)
(Servant of idols)(5)
That he refused to say La ilaha illa Allah during his death, and he said
that he will enter (a box of fire locked with fire, there are twelve thousand
people in it including me and my companion, I said to him: Umar? He
said: yes, and there are ten people in a pit in hell fire, upon it is a big stone,

whenever Allah wants to heat up hell fire he lifts the stone)(1) As-Safwa
Al-Jazairee said: (it was related in some special narration that Abubakar
used to pray behind the Prophet while wearing an idol on his neck, and he
prostrated to it)(2)
They also declared him a disbeliever for waging war against those who
committed apostasy and followed Musailamat the liar.
And also for saying: (if they refuse me even a headband of which they
used to give to the Prophet, I will fight them. Hence, this was an act of injus-
tice and transgression…whoever says this is out of the religion of Allah and
His messenger, and if the says he is unjust that is enough to make us call
them ignorant and disbelievers)(3)
Their scholars Al-majlisee also said with certainty that Abubakar was not
a believer(4), and that the messenger of Allah only took Abubakar along with
him to the cave for fear of him telling the Mushrikun their where about. !!
Their scholar Ibn Tawus said: (among the rare narrations is that the
Prophet only took Abubakar with him to the cave because he feared that
he will show the unbelievers his place… so the Prophet commanded Ali to
sleep on his bed, and he feared ibn Quhafa lest he shows the unbelievers his
place so he took him along with him to the cave.)(5)
Their scholar Abu Ali Al-isfahani said: (just like Fir’aun did not believe
in Allah and lived in disbelieve and polytheism and persecuted Musa and
his followers, and for that Allah punished Fir’aun and his helpers, so also
Abubakar the cursed did not believe in Allah, he was a disbeliever and a
Mushrik, and he persecuted the commander of the faithful Ali, for that
Allah will hold him to severe punishment, and those who follow him will
be gathered with him and will receive severe punishment)(6)
They also claimed that Abubakar used to accuse the Prophet of being
a magician!(7)

Muhammad Baqir As-Sadr, one of their present day scholars accused

Abubakar of buying the companions, according to him: (how can we be
surprised about that from a person like Abubakar, while he was the one who
used money as a means of deception and gaining support)(1)
Al-khumainee, their greatest imam said: (we have no business with the
two companions and their contradictions of the Quran, their play with the
rulings of the Allah, and what they made permissible and prohibited, and
their acts of injustice against Fatima the daughter of the Prophet and her
children, but we want to point out their ignorance of the laws of Allah and
His religion).(2)
E nquiry 104: what is the creed of the Imamate on Umar in summary?
Response: Ali said: (and they had a ruler who organized them
until the religion was established)(3)
The commentators of Nahjul Balaga, among them Al-Mutheem and
Al-Bahranee and Ad-Dambalee said:
(The ruler was Umarbin Khatab…and he established the religion)(4)
☐☐ He pledged allegiance to him: Ali-may Allah be pleased with him- said:
(when Abubakar was about to die he sent for Umar and made him the
Caliph, so we listened and obeyed him, and he was of satisfactory char-
acter, and a blessed leader).(5)
☐☐ He married his daughter Umul-Quthum to him: this was mentioned
by one of the greatest Shiite historian, Ahmad bin Abi Yaqub in his
book, he said: (in this year: Umar proposed to Ali bin Abi Talib to
marry Umul-Quthum bint Ali, her mother was Fatima daughter of
the Messenger of Allah so, Ali said: she is young! So Umar said: I do
not intend what you thought, so he married her and paid ten thousand
dinar as her bride price).(6)

A funny joke:
Sheikh Ad-Daula As-Safawiya said that Ali bin Abi Talib sent to a Jewish
Jin in Najran and commanded her to appear in the likeness of Umul-Quthum,
so he married her to the commander of the faithful, Umar bin Khataab.(1)
☐☐ Fear of Ali for Umar from the Romans because he was a uniting point
for the Muslim and origin of the Arabs:
when the commander of the faithful, Umar bin Khataab wanted to go
out by himself to fight the Romans, he consulted Ali, so Ali said to him: (if
you go to the enemy by yourself and you are afflicted by disaster, there will
be no uniting point for the Muslims, so send a man to them and fortify him
with an army, if Allah grants him victory, that is what you want, and if the
opposite happens, you will be a returning point to the Muslims.)
In another narration, Ali said: (verily, when the non-Arabs see you
tomorrow they will say: this is the origin of the Arabs so if you kill him
you are free)(2)
☐☐ Ali wished to meet Allah with the kind of good works of Umar:
When Abu Luluat Al-Majoosee Al-farisee stabbed Umar bin Khataab,
Ali bin Abi Talib and Abdullah bin Abbass entered upon him, ibn Abbass
said: (so we heard the voice of Umul-Quthum daughter of Ali bin Abi Talib,
O my Umar! And there were women with her crying, so ibn Abbass said: I
swear by Allah, indeed your Islam was a glory, your leadership was an open-
ing, and you have filled the earth with justice, so Umar said: do you bear
witness for me to that O ibn Abbass, so Ibn Abbass was silent as if he detested
the testimony, so Ali said to him: say yes and I am with you, so he said: yes)
When Umar was washed and shrouded, Ali looked at him and said:
(there is no one more beloved to me that I should meet Allah with his type
of record like this shrouded one.)(3)
Umar’s honor to the Prophet’s household was up to the extent that: he
used to prefer Al-hasain over his son Abdullah, till he made his popular
statement about Al-Husain: (and did the head grow any hair apart from you!)
E nquiry 105: Did the Shiite scholars follow their Imams in their
creed about Umar bin Khataab?

pg 389, hadith no. 102, Biharul Anwar 28/117, hadith no. 5
160
Response: No! Rather they openly called Umar bin Khataab a disbe-
liever, transgressor and cursed him.
Their belief concerning him includes:
Their scholar Al-jazairee said: (he was a hermaphrodite, and he has a
disease whose cure is the simen of men, and others which are too ugly for
us to mention)(1)
Many Shiites cholars commented on the marriage of Ali’s daughter,
Umul-Quthum to Umar saying: (common sense does not prohibit marriage
to a disbeliever but the sharia prohibits it, and what Ali did is a strong proof
that Islamic ruling does not prohibit marrying a disbeliever forcefully and
not willingly)(2)
They claimed that the disbelief of Umar is the same as that of Iblis if
not more than it. They also said that Iblis is surprised at the severe doubling
of punishment for Umar and said: (who is this that Allah has doubled his
punishment over mine while I deceived all creation?)(3)
Their greatest Imam, Al-Khumainee also described Umar as a disbeliever
by saying: (the messenger of Allah who struggled and persevered during
calamities in order to guide them, and closed his eyes while in his ears
were words of Ibn Khataab built on lies and which sprang from activities of
disbelief and contradictions of verses in the Quran)(4)
Al-Majlisee also said: (there is no room for a reasonable person to doubt
the disbelief of Umar, May Allah and His Messenger’s curse be upon him,
and whoever consider him a Muslim, and whoever refuse to curse him)(5)
Shiite scholars celebrate the day of his death and they claimed that their
Imam, Al-Hasan (declared the death of Umar a day of festival, and he recited
a lot of poems in the presence of Imam Al-Baqir:
“Those who persist in their sins
and hide calamities in their hearts
who have renounced their pledge and care

carrying a burden on their back
like idols in their similitude
May Allah curse their souls”,

And Imam Al-Baqir laughed.)(1)
They also nicknamed Abu Luluat as : (hero of the religion)(2)
Abu Ali Al-isfahani said: (who is Abu Luluat? He is a man from Iran, his
name in Persia is: Fairuz, he was among the greatest Muslims and Mujahidin,
in fact he is among the dedicated one to the commander of the faithful, Ali.
Indeed, this man has gained great bliss, because the prayers of As-Sideeqa
Azahraa was accepted through him, so he killed the killer of Azahraa, and
he saved people from his evil and calamity, and now after this long period
we say truthfully: May Allah have mercy upon you O Abu Luluat, indeed
you have brought happiness to the sad hearts of the children of Azahraa…
and what is expected of the Shiites of the commander of the faithful is to
visit his grave in Kashaan)(3)
They also claimed that Umar used to accuse the Prophet of being a
magician.(4)
Al-Khumainee also named a chapter in his book KashfulAsrar: (con-
tradiction of Umar to the book of Allah)(5)
Finally, Shiite scholars said: (a consensus was reached on the fact that
he is a disbeliever after he proclaimed faith)(6)
E nquiry 106: what is the creed of Shiite scholars in Abubakar and

Umar together?
Response: Indeed, they unanimously agree that it is obligatory to curse

and renounce both of them. In fact, they count that as part of the necessities
of the religion of Imamiyya.(7)
(1) The straight path, 3/29.
(2) See: Biharul Anwar, 95/199, Al-Kuna wa Al-qaab 1/190 (Abu Luluat)

(7) See: Al-‘aqaaid, Al-majlisee, pg 58
162
And as was earlier stated, whoever denies a necessity is a disbeliever

according to their creed.
They also claimed that whoever cursed them in the evening, no sin will
be recorded for him till the next morning.(1)
Al-majlisee also claimed that: (it was narrated from a servant of Ali
bin Al-hasain-May Allah have mercy on them-he said: I was with him in
private, so I said to him: I have a right upon you to tell me about these two
men; Abubakar and Umar. So he said: they are disbelievers, and whoever
loves them is also a disbeliever.)(2)
He also said: (both of them did not have an atom weight of faith)(3)
Al-majlisi said: (Abubakar and Umar did not migrate to Islam, they
were both disbelievers, their Islam was hypocrisy, their migration was to
cause division, and they are included in the saying of Allah:
“The Bedouins are stronger in disbelief and hypocrisy”)(4)
Abdulhusain Al-muratshee also said: (verily, Abubakar and Umar are
the cause of the misguidance of this Ummah till the Day of Judgment)(5)
They also claimed that it was (narrated from Abu Abdullah concerning
the saying of Allah: “Our Lord, show us those who misled us of the jinn and
men [so] we may put them under our feet that they will be among the lowest”
he said: both of them, then he said: and so and so person was a devil)(6)
Al-majlisi said: (“both of them” mean Abubakar and Umar, and “so and
so person” means Umar)(7)
Al-kulainee also fabricated in his book Al-kafi two narrations on the
ruling on whoever claims that Abubakar and Umar have a share in Islam;
he lied that Abi Abdillah-May Allah have mercy on him- said: (there are
three people whom Allah will not speak to on the Day of Judgment, and will
not purify them, and for them is severe punishment: whoever claims to be

an Imam from Allah, whoever denies an Imam from Allah, and whoever
claims that they both have a share in Islam)(1)
They also refer to them as two idols of Quraish: Ali Al-karki said: (it was
well known that the commander of the faithful used to recite in his qunut
during witr a prayer cursing the two idols of Quraish, meaning: Abubakar
and Umar)(2)
In the book (Al-balad Al-Amin wa Ad-Dir’i Al-hasin) of the scholar
Ibrahim bin Ali Al-kaf’ami (900AH) is a popular supplication of Shiite
scholars in which they curse Abubakar, Umar and their daughters; Aisha
and Hafsa-May Allah be pleased with them, which they false fully link
to Ali, and it is among the greatest morning and evening azkaar in their
creed. The text reads: (O Allah curse the two idols of Quraish, and their
daughters who ate your gifts, and denied your favors, and disobeyed your
commandment, and denied your revelation, and disobeyed your messenger,
and turned you religion, and changed your book, and broke your laws, and
annulled your obligations, and disbelieved in your signs, and were enemies of
your friends, and were friends to your enemies, and corrupted your servants,
and damaged your countries, O Allah curse them and their helpers, they
have indeed destroyed the house of the Prophet, blocked the door, repealed
the roof, attached its top to its bottom, its external to internal, and killed its
members, destroyed his helpers, killed his children, made his minbar devoid
of his trustee and heir to his knowledge, and denied his prophet hood, and
associated partners with his lord, O Allah make their sins great, and make
them eternal in Saqar, And what can make you know what is Saqar?, It lets
nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned], O Allah curse them by the
number of all sins they committed, and all truths they hide, and hypocrites
they appointed, and believers they made to disbelieve, and every expelled
they accommodated, and companion they expelled, and unbeliever they
helped, and every Imam they conquered, and every evil they concealed, and
every blood they shed, and narration they changed, and ruling they turned,
and inheritance they snatched, and falsehood they established, and every
injustice they propagated, and every promise that was broken, and every
right they denied, and every Imam they contradicted. O Allah curse them
by the number of verses they changed, and obligations they abandoned, and
sunnah they changed, rulings they abolished, and relation they severed, and
testimonies they hide, and every faith they violated, and every allegiance
they denied. O Allah curse them in open and hidden continuously, and their
helpers, lovers, and those who submit to them, and to who rise to their needs,
(1) Usul-Al-kafi, 1/279-280
(2) Nafahat Al-lahut fi La’n Al-jibt wa taqut, Ali Al-karki, pg 192
164
and believers in their rulings. Then, they would say: O Allah curse them with
punishments which people of hellfire seek help from, Ameen four times.)(1)
Al-majlisee said about this supplication and its position in their creed:
(this supplication is of great importance), and it was narrated by Abdullah
bin Abbass, from Ali that he used to recite it in his qunut, and he said: verily,
one who supplicates with it is like an archer with a million arrows fighting
alongside the Prophet in the battle of Badr, Uhud, and Hunain)(2)
They also call them Fir’aun and Haamaan: they lied that their great
narrator asked Abu Abdillah saying: (O my master: who are Fir’aun and
Haamaan/ he said: Abubakar and Umar)(3)
They also call then two idols: Al-iyashee lied that Abu Hamza asked Abu
Jafaar: (who are the enemies of Allah he said: the four idols, he said: who
are they? He said: Abu Al-faseel, Ram’, Na’thal, and Mu’awiya, and whoever
follows their religion. Hence, whoever antagonizes them has antagonized
the enemies of Allah)(4)
They also call them Al-Lat and Uzza(5)
They also said that every sin committed since the time of Adam to the
end of time is as a result of Abubakar and Umar!! According to their narrator
they are the ones who (killed Haabil the son of Adam, and they were the one
who gathered the fire for burning prophet Ibrahim, and threw Yusuf in the
well, captured Yunus in the belly of the Whale, killed Yahya, crucified Isa,
punished Jirjis and Daniel, beat Salman Al-farisee, set fire on the door of the
commander of the faithful, Fatima, Al-hasan and Alhusain-peace be upon
them- in order to set them ablaze, and hit the hands of Fatima with a cane,
kicked her stomach and made her suffer miscarriage, poisoned Al-hasan,
killed Al-husain and slaughtered his children, nephews and supporters,
captured the descendants of the messenger of Allah, and shed the blood of
the household of the Prophet.)

They also claimed that every believer killed, every marriage conducted
illegally, every usury, corruption, immorality, sin, and injustice since the
time of Adam till the rise of our master, all these will be counted against
them by our master and he will make them confess to it, then he will com-
mand that they should be crucified on a tree, then he will command a fire
that will come out of the earth to burn them and the tree and then he will
command a wind to blow their remain into the river.
Al-mufadhal said: I said: O Master is that the end of their punishment?
He said: no, I swear by Allah they will be returned and they will be
avenged for all their injustice to the extent that they will be killed in every
day and night one thousand times, and they will be returned to whatever
Allah wills of punishment.(1)
Finally, Shiite scholars unanimously agree that (both Abubakar and
Umar were disbelievers, and both showed signs of hypocrisy during the
time of the Prophet)(2)
They also claimed that they are both in hellfire eternally for ruling the
caliphate before Ali!
Their scholar, Al-Mufeed said: (the imamiyya and many of the Zaidiyya
are in agreement that those who preceded Ali in the Caliphate are misguided
and transgressors, and that by delaying Ali from the position of the messen-
ger of Allah, they are sinners and people of injustice and will live eternally
in hellfire for that.)(3)
Al-majlisi also said: (the narrations pointing to the disbelief of Abubakar
and Umar and their likes, and the reward for cursing them and renouncing
them are too numerous to list in this volume, and what we have narrated is
enough for whoever Allah wishes guidance to the straight path)(4)
Abu Ali Al-isfahani said: (as for the issue of establishing their disbelief, it
is among the issue that have been admitted and available in many narrations
which we will mention some)(5)

The Hit of Hits

Al-kulainee narrated that a woman asked Jafaar As-Sadiq about Abu-
bakar and Umar-may Allah be pleased with them- should she love them?
He said to her: (love them! She said: so when I meet my lord I will say you
commanded me to love them, he said: yes)(1)
In fact, Zaid bin Ali bin Al-husain bin Ali bin Abi Talib told his compan-
ions: (no one ever heard his forefathers renouncing Abubakar and Umar)(2)
Abu Jafaar Muhammad bin Habib said: (because of Zaid the Shiites
were called the rejecters, that was because they pledged their allegiance to
him then they tried him after that, so he declared his love for Abubakar
and Umar, so they rejected him, and hence they were called the rejecters)(3)
E nquiry 107: can you mention some incidence between Ali and
Uthman in brief?
Response: Yes, they include the following:

☐☐ Uthman paid the bride price of Fatima when Ali married her. Their
scholars Al-irbalee said concerning the incidence of Ali and the sale of
his Armour in order to pay the pride price of Fatima: Ali said: (so, I went
and sold my armour to Uthman bin Affan for four hundred black stoned
dirhams, when I collected the dirhams from him and he collected the
armour from me he said: O Abu Al-hasan am I not more entitled to the
armour and you are more entitled to the dirhams? I said: yes, he said:
take the armour as a gift from me. So, I collected the armour and the
dirhams from him and went to the messenger of Allah and placed them
before him and told him about what happed between me and Uthman,
so he prayed for him)(4)
☐☐ Ali pledge allegiance to Uthman: Ali said: (when Umar was about to
die, he made me the sixth of the six-man council, I didn’t want to divide
the Muslims so they pledged their allegiance to Uhtman and I did the
same)(5)

(3) Alhibr, Muhammad bin Habib (245AH), pg 483, and in the bookof As-Sawarim 225,

(4) kashfAl-guma, 1/314
(5) Al-Amalee, AT-Tusee pg 507, hadith no. 16
167

This is the action of Ali, and he pledged allegiance to Uthman. So, what
was the ruling of Shiite scholars on one who pledges allegiance to Uthman?
They ruled that such a person is a disbeliever!!(1)
☐☐ Ali beats his sons, Al-hasan and Al-hsain for not supporting Uthman:
Their historian, Al-mas’udee said: (Ali entered the town, he was like its
sad ruler and said to his sons: how was the commander of the faithful killed
while you were both at the door? He slapped Al-hasan, and beat the chest
of Al-husain, and abused Muhammad bin Talha, and cursed Abdbullah
bin Zubair)(2)
E nquiry 108: Did Shiite scholars followed their Imams in their creed
about Uthman bin Affan?
Response: No!! Rather they announced that Uthman bin Affan was
a disbeliever and cursed him. Among their creed concerning him is that:
Uthman has no name in the sight of people except that of a disbeliever,
and they lied that Huzaifa said: (there is no doubt about the disbelief of
Uthman)(3)
And that (the companions, those who came after them, the righteous
one and the rest believers have agreed that the blood of Uthman bin Affan is
permissible, and it is obligatory to hasten to kill him, and it is not permissible
to wash his body, or to pray over him, or to bury him)(4)
Their scholars also stated that (there is a consensus to renounce Uthman,
and that he is out of Islam and faith)(5)
They also lied that (the companions and those who came after them have
agreed that it is permissible to kill Uthman and to declare him a disbeliever)(6)
because based on their creed he was (a disbeliever who deserves to be killed)(7)

Shiite scholars also likened Uthman to (hyena! Because whenever he

hunts any animal he sleeps with it and then eats it? And a woman was brought
to him to be given the punishment of Adultery so he slept with her before
commanding that she should be stoned… Al-Kalbee said in the book of
Al-mathalib: Uthman was among those whom were played it, and he used
to act like a woman, and used to beat the Duf)(1)
They also said that geckos are among the followers of Uthman, they
fabricated a narration that: (a man was with Abu Jafaar talking to him about
Uthman, so a gecko passed on top of the wall, so Abu Jafaar said: do you
know what this is saying? I said: no, he said: you either stop talking about
Uthman or I abuse Ali)(2)
Al-majlisi also said: (verily, Uthman deleted three things from the
Quran: virtues of Ali and the household of the Prophet, disparagement of
the Quraish and the three Caliphs, such as “I wish I had not taken Abubakar
as a friend”)(3)
They also said that (Uthman beat Abdullah bin Mas’ud to collect his
copy of the Quran in order to change it as he did for himself, so that there
will be no correct copy of the Quran left preserved)(4)
Their scholar, Al-jazairee said: (as for Uthman, they testified to his
apostasy)(5)
He also said: (Uthman was among those who during the time of the
Prophet openly claimed Islam but inwardly was a hypocrite)(6) they also
believe that (whoever does not have enmity in his heart against Uthman,
and does not see his dignity permissible, and does not believe he is a disbe-
liever, then he is an enemy of Allah and His messenger, a disbeliever in the
revelation of Allah)(7)
They lied that (it was narrated from Abu Abdullah concerning the saying
of Allah: “And Allah presents an example of those who believed: the wife of
Pharaoh” that he said: this is an example Allah presented to Ruqayya daugh-

ter of the Prophet who married Uthman bin Affan, and as for the saying of
Allah: “and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds” this means save me from
the third Caliph and his deeds, “and save me from the wrongdoing people”
this means Bani Umayya)(1)
They also interpreted the saying of Allah: “Does he think that never
will anyone overcome him?” to mean Uthman when he killed the daughter
of the Prophet as claimed by Al-qummi in his tafseer: (narrated from Abu
Jafaar concerning the saying of Allah: “Does he think that never will anyone
overcome him?” meaning Uthman when he killed daughter of the Prophet,
“He says, “I have spent wealth in abundance.”” Meaning the wealth prepared
by the Prophet for the army of Al-usra, “Does he think that no one has seen
him?” He said: this was evil in his mind, “Have We not made for him two
eyes?” meaning the Messenger of Allah, “And a tongue” meaning Ali, “and
two lips?” meaning Al-hasan and AL-husain)(2)
“Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except
a lie.” (Q18:V5)
They also said: the one killed was Ruqayya-may Allah be pleased with
her, Al-majlisi said: (he killed Ruqayya daughter of the messenger of Allah,
and committed fornication with her maid)(3)
Commentary:
Because the end result of lying is scandal, they said in another narration
that the one killed was Umul Kuthum!
Their scholar Al-jazairee said: (as for Umul Kuthum, she also married
Uthman after the death of her sister Ruqayya, and she also died under him
because he hit her very hard and she died as a result of that)(4)
They also claimed that he broke her ribs(5)
They also said: (Ruqayya daughter of the Prophet died as a result of the
beating from her husband)(6)

E nquiry 109: what is the position of Shiite scholars on predetermi-

nation of Allah by making Uthman bin Affan the commander of
the faithful after Umar bin Khataab
Response: They rejected the worship of Allah in protest against making

Uthman the commander of the faithful.
Al-khumainee said: (we do not worship a Deity who erects a lofty
building for worship, justice, devoutness, then destroys it by himself, then
makes Yazid, Mu’awiya, Uthman and their likes among the insolent occupy
positions of leadership over people, and does not establishes the fate of the
ummah after the death of the Prophet)(1)
E nquiry 110: Can you briefly explain to us the creed of Shiite scholars
concerning the three Caliphs?
Response: Shiite scholars believe that: (among the necessities of the

Imamiyya religion… renouncement of Abubakar, Umar, and Uthman)(2)
and whoever denies a necessity according to them is a disbeliever as was
earlier stated!
☐☐ That the position of the three Caliphs is (in a pit in the bottom of hellfire,
in a concealed box, on that box is a big rock, if Allah wants to increase
the fire He lifts the rock from the pit, so hellfire sought refuge from the
glow of that pit)(3)
☐☐ It is obligatory to curse them after every prayer: Al-kulainee lied: (that
it was narrated from Al-husain bin thuwaiyir, and Abu Salmat As-sir-
aaj that they said: we heard Abu Abdullah while cursing four men and
women after every prayer; so, so and so and Mu’awiya among the men,
and so and so and Hind and Umul Al-hakam, sister of Mu’awiya)(4)
al-majlisi said: (the three caliphs are the first three men, while Aisha
and Hafsa are the last two women)(5)
☐☐ That whoever renounces them and died on that day will enter paradise(6)

Al-majlisi said: (among the necessities of the Imamiyya religion…

renouncement of Abubakar, Umar, and Uthman)(1)
☐☐ That (the most honourable place, time, and most appropriate condition
to curse them is when you are easing yourself, you should say: O Allah
curse Umar, then Abubakar and Umar, then Mu’awiya and Umar, then
Yazid and Umar, then Ibn zayad and Umar, then ibn Sa’d and Umar,
then Shamra and Umar, then their soldiers and Umar… )(2)
☐☐ That the meaning of repentance: is to rescind ones allegiance to Abuba-
kar, Umar and Uthman and Bani Umayya and pledge allegiance to Ali.
Al-qumee lied that Abu Jafaar said concerning the verse :( “so forgive
those who have repented” from their allegiance to so, and so, and Bani
Umayya “ and followed Your way” meaning allegiance to Ali)(3)
E nquiry 111: What is the creed of Shiite scholars on the two wives
of the Prophet, Aisha and Hafsa-may Allah be pleased with them?
Response: They believe both Aisha and Hafsa are disbelievers:

Shiite scholars lied against As-Sadiq that he said concerning the verse:
“And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement”
this is referring to Hafsa, As-Sadiq said: she disbelieved when she said: “Who
told you this?”, and Allah said about her and her sister: “If you two [wives]
repent to Allah, [it is best], for your hearts have deviated.” Meaning their
heart have deviated and disbelieved.(4)
Their scholar, Muhammad Husain Atabtabaaii (1402AH) said in his
tafseer: (narrated from Abu Abdullah that he said concerning the verse:
“Allah presents an example of those who disbelieved: the wife of Noah and
the wife of Lot.” This is an example presented by Allah for Aisha and Hafsa,
they cooperated against the messenger of Allah and exposed his secrete)(5)
☐☐ The scholar, Al-iyashee lied that: (narrated from Abu Abdullah that he
said: do you know whether the Prophet died or he was killed? Allah
said: “So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels
[to unbelief]?” so he was poisoned before his death, they both gave him

drink before his death, so we said: both of them and their fathers are
the most evil of Allah’s creation)(1)
Al-majlisi said: (verily, Al-Iyashee narrated with a considerable chain
of narration from As-Sadiq that he said: Aisha and Hafsa-may Allah curse
them and their fathers- killed the messenger of Allah with a poison)(2)
Abu Ali Al-isfahani also said: (Aisha and Hafsa are like their fathers,
they were both evil and they caused a lot of calamities among which was
poisoning the messenger of Allah…and when we think about this we have
to hate these two evil impurities and curse them)(3)
☐☐ Shiite scholars also believe that Aisha and Hafsa both committed immo-
rality!!
Al-qumee swore to that, he said: (by Allah the meaning of the saying of
Allah “but betrayed them” is immorality and the punishment will be given
to her for what she committed)(4)
E nquiry 112: What is the creed of Shiite scholars concerning mother

of the believers, Aisha-may Allah be pleased with her?
Response: They unanimously believe she is disbeliever:

Their scholar, Ibn Usfur said: (we believe without any doubt that Mu’aw-
iya, Talha, Zubair, the woman, people of Nahrawan, and others who fought
Ali, Alhasan and Al-husain are disbelievers…)(5)
Their scholar, Muhammad Tahir Ashirazi said: (among the proofs of
the Imamate of our twelve Imams: is that Aisha is a disbeliever who deserves
hellfire)(6)

They also said that she (committed apostasy after the death of the
Prophet)(1)
☐☐ They also believe that one of the seven doors of hellfire is for Aisha!
They said concerning the meaning of the verse: “it has seven doors”
(Q15:V44) (narrated from Jafaar bin Muhammad that he said: hellfire will
be brought having seven doors… the sixth door is for askar)(2)
☐☐ Shiite scholars also believe that Aisha-may Allah be pleased with her is
an adulterer!!: Rajab Al-barsee lied that : Al-hasan bin Ali said to mother
of the believers Aisha: (so you brought out a green bag containing all
you had gathered from infidelity, till you collected forty dinar from him,
an amount you do not value, and you distributed it among the haters of
Ali from Taym and Ady, and indeed you were satisfied with his death,
so she said: that happened)(3)
“Exalted are You, [O Allah]; this is a great slander” (Q24:V16)
☐☐ Their commentators of the Quran have unanimously agreed that Allah
did not absolve Aisha of adultery; that the verses that were revealed at the
beginning of surah An-Nur were actually meant to (purify the Prophet
against fornication and not her)(4)
We seek refuge from Allah against those who belie Allah in absolving
the mother of the believers.
☐☐ Al-majlisi said: (when Al-mahdi comes he will resurrect Aisha and give
her the Punishment of adultery)(5)
Their scholar, As-saduk also lied that Abu Jafaar said: (when our leader
comes Al-humairaa would be returned to him so that he will give her the
punishment of adultery)(6)
☐☐ They also believe that she violated her faith: their scholar, Al-‘iyashee
lied that Abu Abdullah said that :

(2) Tafseer Al-‘iyashee 2/263, hadith no. 19 (surah Al-hijr), Biharul Anwar 8/301, hadith

no. 57, they also refer to her as (mother of evils) see: the straight path 3/161.

(“she who untwisted her spun thread after it was strong” Aisha violated
her faith)(1)
Commentary:
Shiite scholars accuse mother of the believers, Aisha of immorality which
Allah has absolved her of in His book, and they believe that she is malicious.
This is one of the greatest harm and disparagement to the Prophet, by saying
that he is the husband of a prostitute while Allah says: “Bad statements are
for bad people (or bad women for bad men) and bad people for bad state-
ments (or bad men for bad women). Good statements are for good people (or
good women for good men) and good people for good statements (or good
men for good women), such (good people) are innocent of (each and every)
bad statement which they say, for them is Forgiveness, and Rizqun Karim
(generous provision i.e.Paradise). (Q24:V26), and I swear by Allah nobody
accuses Aisha of immorality except a disbeliever and hypocrite.
E nquiry 113: What was the final position of Shiite scholars concern-
ing the Prophet and his wives Aisha and Hafsa?
Response: their leader, Ali Garwee-who is one of the biggest scholars of

Al-jauza- said: (verily, the Prophet-peace be upon him- has to enter a hole
in hellfire because he slept with some polytheist)(2)
The Mortal Blow

I will end this section which has to do with the creed of Shiite scholars
concerning mother of the believers Aisha who they see as a disbeliever and
curse her and so on with a narration …
Their scholar, Abu Ali Muhammad bin Muhammad Al-ash’ath Al-kufi
related from Al-husain bin Ali (that Abu Dhar told him that: before the
messenger of Allah died he asked for a siwak which he gave to Aisha and
said: wet it for me with your saliva and she did then, it was given to him and
he started brushing his teeth with it and was saying: my saliva is on your
saliva O Humairaa. Then, he started moving his lips like someone talking,
and then he died)(3)
In any case, in spite of all the statements of Shiites scholar that have
repeatedly preceded, the deeds of the companions of Prophet Muhammad
and his wives have stopped hence, Allah wished that their rewards will not

stop. Allah said: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him
are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see
them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seeking bounty from Allah and
[His] pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration.
That is their description in the Torah. And their description in the Gospel is
as a plant which produces its offshoots and strengthens them so they grow
firm and stand upon their stalks, delighting the sowers - so that Allah may
enrage by them the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and
do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward.” (Q48:V29)
Shiites scholars have also said: that Ali named some of his children
after the three rightly guided caliphs: Abubakar whose mother was Laila
bint Mas’ud Al-hanzaliya, Umar whoses mother was Umu Habib As-Sahbaa
bint Rabeeah Al-bakriya, and Uthman whose mother was Umu Al-banin,
and small Uthman whose mother was Asma bint Umais Al-khath’amiya.(1)
Al-hasan did the same thing, Al-yaqubi said: (Al-hasan had eight male
children who are: …, Umar, Al-qasim, Abubakar, and Abdurrahman from
different mothers)(2)
Al-husain also did the same; he named one of his children after Abu-
bakar.(3)
E nquiry 114: What is the reality about the Land of Fadak as stated
in the books of Shiites?
Response: Fadak is a village in Khaibar, while some say it is in the area

of Hijaz. There is a spring and date trees in it, and it is part of what Allah
restored to His messenger. After the death of the Prophet, Fatima sent to
the Caliph, Abubakar As-Sidiq asking for her share of inheritance from
the land of Fadak. Their scholar, Al-maitham stated that Abubakar said to
her (you are entitled to what your father was entitled to, the messenger of
Allah used to take your food from Fadak and distributes the rest, and he
also used to take from it for the cause of Allah. You have a right upon me
that I should do as he used to do, I have agreed to that and have promised
him to do that. So, he used to give them from its produce that which will be
enough for them, and the Caliphs after him did the same)(4)

176
Zaid bin Ali bin Al-husain said: (I swear by Allah, if I was in charge of
the affairs I would have ruled in this matter as Abubakar did)(1)
The Mortal Blow:

Verily, among the contradictions of these people is that they narrated
in the book of Ali that (women are not entitled to land properties of a man
when he dies. Abu Jafaar said: by Allah Ali wrote this with his hands and
this was dictated by the messenger of Allah)(2)
Al-kulainee also narrated: (from Abu Jafaar that he said: women do not
inherit anything from land properties)(3)
E nquiry 115: Was it mentioned in their books that Allah was angry
with them and that Fatima was angry with Ali?
Response: Yes, they narrated (from Abu Al-hasan Musa that he said:
verily, Allah was angry with the Shiites, so He gave the choice to choose
between myself and them…)(4)
Al-mazandarani said: (it was because of their many violations and little
obedience…)(5)
Commentary:
This is a testimony from their infallible Imam based on their creed that
Allah is angry with the Shiites because of their misguided ways. So, why
remain on a way that Allah is angry with its people?
They also narrated that the Prophet and his daughter Fatima are angry
with Ali when he wanted to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl… to the extent
that the Prophet said advising Ali: (O Ali don’t you know that Fatima is a
part of me and I am a part of her, so whoever hurts her has hurt me, and
whoever hurts me has hurt Allah, and whoever hurts her after my death is
like one who hurts her during my life time and whoever hurts her during
my life time is like one who hurts her after my death)(6)

177
They also narrated that the Prophet said: (Fatima is a part of me, and
she is my soul, whatever displeases her displeases me, and whatever makes
her happy makes me happy)(1)
So also Ali angered Fatima when she (saw Ali’s head in the room of their
housemaid, she said: O Abu Al-hasan did you do it? he said: no by Allah O
daughter of Muhammad I did not do anything but what do you want? She
said: permit me to go to my father’s house. He said to her: I have given you
permission, so she wore her jilbab and burqa, and went to the Prophet)(2)
E nquiry 116: What is the meaning of infallibility of the Imam, and

is it an agreed upon matter to them?
Response: Al-majlisi said: (know that the Imamiyya have unanimously

agreed that the Imams are preserved from committing sins, both minor
and major sins. Hence, they do not commit sins, whether intentionally or
forgetfully, or due to mistake in understanding)(3)
Commentary:
Verily, this kind of infallibility which Al-majlisi describes, and says it is
agreed upon by Shiite scholars, was not available to Prophets of Allah and
His messengers-peace be upon them- as clearly shown in the Quran, sunnah,
and consensus of the Scholars. Muslims believe that the Ummah is preserved
with the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His messenger. But as for the Shiite
scholars, they believe that the Ummah is preserved from misguidance with
their hidden Imam who is afraid! Because he is like a prophet, in fact, he
is greater than the Prophet as stated earlier, and the Imamate according to
their belief is an extension and continuation of prophet hood.(4)
E nquiry 117: Do Shiite scholars believe that their Imams do not

forget?
Response: Yes, and it is one of the necessities of their Mazhab. One of

their contemporary scholars, Ibn Al-Mudhafir said: (among the necessary

178
and important attributes, even, among the conditions of the Imamate is

that he should be infallible and preserved from inattentiveness, mistake,
and forgetfulness)(1)
One of their present scholars, Muhammad Asif Al-muhsini said: this
is agreed upon among the Shiites(2)
Almajlisi also said: (verily, our brethren of the Imamiyyya have agreed
on the preservation of the Prophets and Imam-peace be upon them-from
committing sins both major and minor, intentionally, mistakenly, or forget-
fully, before prophet hood and Imamate or after that, even, from the time
of their birth till they meet Allah. It was only As-Saduk Muhammad bin
Babawai, and his teacher, ibn Al-walid who contradicted. To him they can
experience inattentiveness from Allah not from the devil. Perhaps, their
contradiction does not violate the consensus because of their lineage)(3)
Abdullah bin Shibr said: (the intermediary between Allah and His
creation has to be a prophet or imam who is infallible, and this is one of the
unique creeds of the Imamiyya)(4)
Their greatest Imam, Al-khumainee said: (the Imams are those who do
not experience inattentiveness)(5)
This creed was among the causes of the spread of the creed of Badaa
and Taqiyya-as will be explained later. Whenever there is a disagreement or
contradiction in their opinion, they say this is Badaa or Taqiyya as acknowl-
edged by their Imam, Sulaiman bin Jarir who left the Mazhab of Imamiyya
with a lot of followers.
Comment:
It was said to their imam Ar-Ridha-may Allah have mercy on him:
(among the people of Kufa are a group of people who claim that the Prophet
never experienced forgetfulness in his prayers, he said: they lied May Allah
curse them, the one who does not forget is Allah who there is no deity worthy
of worship except Him)(6)

Allah says: “We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not
forget, Except what Allah should will.” (Q87: V6-7)
The Disgrace:
Early Shiite scholars declared their renouncement of this creed, even;
they declared whoever believes in it as a disbeliever. They also stated that
rejecting the narrations that confirmed that the Prophet do forgets will lead
to nullification of the religion and the shareeah. Ibn Babawai said: (verily, the
extremist and the Mufawidha-may Allah curse them- deny that the Prophet
do forgets…if it was permissible to reject the narrations that showed this,
it would have been permissible to reject all narrations, and by so doing the
religion and shareeah will be nulified)(1)
We also find Shiite scholars counting this among the necessities and
to them whoever denies a necessity is a disbeliever as earlier stated. To the
point that their scholar, Abdullah Shibr said concerning whoever sees it
permissible for the Prophet to forget: (that necessitates his disbelieve)(2)
Thus, their early scholars see their contemporary scholars as disbelievers
and vice-vasa! “If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have
found within it much contradiction.” (Q4:V82)
E nquiry 118: can you summarise for us how Shiite scholars devel-
oped their creed on the infallibility of their Imams?
Response: It has been previously stated that their first teacher, Ibn Saba,
the Jew, said that Ali was a deity, but it was not reported that he sees him
as infallible.
☐☐ Then, their scholar, Hisham bin Al-hakam advanced the creed of infal-
libility by saying: the Imams do not commit sin.(3)
Their scholar, Aal Kashif Al-gitaa on the hand said the condition for
being Imam is that: (he should be preserved like the Prophet from mistakes)(4)
Comment:
Their claim that their Imams do not commit sin contradicts their creed
in predestination in which they say the servant has freewill and choice,
and that he creates his own actions. This shows that the issue of infallibility

(4) Aslu Sheeah wa Usuliha pg 61
180
to them precedes their creed on predestination which they took from the
Mutazila sect in the third century.
☐☐ Then their scholar, Ibn Babawai Al-qumee nicknamed as As-saduq
(381AH) advanced their creed on infallibility by saying: (the Imams are
infallible, purified from impurity, and they do not commit sins whether
minor or major, they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them
but do what they are commanded, and whoever denies their infallibility
in any of their conditions is ignorant about them, and whoever is igno-
rant about them is a disbeliever, and our creed on them is that they are
infallible, characterised by completeness, knowledge of the beginning
and end of their affairs, they are not described in anything of their
conditions with defects, sins or ignorance)(1)
☐☐ Then, their scholar, Al-mufeed (413 AH) advanced the creed of infalli-
bility by saying that: (being infallible is a charity which Allah grants a
servant such that he is preserved from falling into sin or being disobe-
dient even though he has the ability to do so)(2)
Comment:
You will observe dear reader, that the concept of infallibility has been
dyed with some ideas of Mutazila like the idea of divine charity and human
choice. Thus, the meaning of infallibility is not that Allah created the Imam
to abstain from committing sin. Rather, He bestowed on him some divine
charity which makes him abstain from sin by choice.
☐☐ Then their scholar, Al-majlisi advanced the creed of infallibility by
saying: (our brethren in the imamiyya have agreed that the Prophets
and Imams are preserved from committing sins, both major and minor,
intentionally, mistakenly, and forgetfully, before prophet hood and
imamate and after it,even, from the time of their birth till they meet
Allah)(3)
The Disgrace:
Al-majlisi said: (in summary: the issue is very complex because many
narrations and verses show that the Prophet can forget while the brethren are
in consensus that it is not possible except few who have different opinion)(4)

Commentary:
This is an acknowledgment from their scholar, Al-majlisi that the con-
sensus of the Shiites on the infallibility of their Imams contradicts their
narrations, and this renders them saying that: Shiites scholars have agreed
upon misguidance!!
E nquiry 119: Can you mention some of the virtues Shiite scholars
claim for their Imams?
Response: Yes. Indeed, Shiite scholars have many different narrations

pointing to the virtues of their Imams and they sometimes take them to the
point of divinity! That was why their scholars have many chapters in their
books on this subject. They include:
1) chapter (that they are more knowledgeable than the Prophets); there
are thirteen hadiths under it including their lie that Abu Abdullah-may
Allah have mercy on him said: ( I swear by the Lord of Kaaba-three times-,
if I was between Musa and Khidr, I would have told them that I am more
knowledgeable than them and I would have informed them of what they
do not know)(1)
2) chapter (their preference over Prophets and entire creation, and they
have taken covenant from them and from the Angels and the rest creation,
and that those of determination among the messengers only became so
because of their love for them)(2) there are 88 hadith under it including
their lie against Abu Abdullah that he said: (by Allah, prophet Adam was
only created by Allah with His hands and Allah blew His soul into him
because of his allegiance to Ali, and Allah only spoke to Musa because of
his allegiance to Ali, and Allah only made prophet Isa a sign to all creations
because of his humbleness to Ali, then he said: in summary: no creature
ever deserved Allah’s consideration except by servitude to us)(3). In another
narration: (prophet Yunus denied it and he was incarcerated in the belly of
the whale until he acknowledged it)(4)
Their greatest Imam, Al-khumainee also said: (the Imam has a praise
worthy position, and a high rank, a caliphate of which all creations are
humbled to its authority, and among the necessities of our mazhab is to

believe that our Imams have a position which no close Angel or prophet
sent can reach)(1)
3) Chapter: (the supplications of the Prophets are only accepted with
intercession with them)(2). There are 16 hadiths under it including: (narrated
from Ar-Ridha that he said: when prophet Nuh was about to drawn he sup-
plicated to Allah by our position and Allah saved him, and when prophet
Ibrahim was thrown into fire he supplicated to Allah by our position and
Allah made the fire to be cool and safe, and when prophet Musa struck a
path in the sea he supplicated to Allah by our position and it was made dry,
and when the Jews wanted to kill prophet Isa he supplicated to Allah by our
position and Allah saved him and raised him to Himself)(3)
Commentary:
These are ignorant and foolish claims! Because their Imams were not
alive during the times of these Prophets, and it is an invitation from Shiite
scholars to associating partners to Allah because they have made the keys to
accepting ones supplication mentioning of the names of their Imams while
the Prophets only supplicated to Allah by His name and oneness as Allah
said about Yunus: “ And he called out within the darknesses, “There is no
deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.”
(Q21:V87)
4) Chapter: (that they have knowledge of what is in the heavens and
on the earth, and the knowledge of what was, what will be, and what will
happen in the day and night, minute by minute, and they have knowledge
of the Prophet and more)(4)
5) Chapter: (that they know people with true faith, and people with
hypocrisy, and they have a book containing the names of people of paradise,
and the names of their followers and enemies)(5)
6) Chapter: (whenever the Imams wish to know they know), there are
3 hadiths in it.(6)

(3) Al-qisas pg 105, Biharul Anwar 26/325, hadith no. 7

pg 35
(5) Biharul Anwar 26/117, there are 4 hadiths under it.
(6) Usul Al-kafi 1/186
183
7) Chapter: (the Imams know when they will die and they do not die
except by their choice), there are 8 hadiths in it.(1)
8) Chapter: (nothing about the conditions of their followers are hidden
from them, likewise what the Ummah needs of information, and they know
what will befall them of calamities, and they are patient with them, and if
they supplicate to Allah to protect them they will be answered, and they know
what is in the minds, and the knowledge of deaths and trials and births)(2)
9) That if not for the commander of the faithful, Angel Jibril wouldn’t
know his lord, and wouldn’t even know his own name. They lied that: (Jibril
was sitting with the Prophet when Ali came so Jibril stood up for him, the
Prophet said to him: why did you stand up for this lad? He said: he has a
right over me for teaching me! So the Prophet said: how comes about that
O Jibril? So he said: when Allah created me He asked me: who are you and
what is your name, and who am I and what is my name? so I was confused
about the answer then, this lad came in the world of lights and taught me
the answer, he said to me: say you are my lord, and your name is the Most
Beautiful, and I am the humble servant and my name is Jibril, that was why
I stood for him and honoured him)(3)
10) That they hear and speak while in their mother’s womb, and they
recite the Quran, worship their lord while in the womb and while they are
still breast feeding the Angels obey them and descend upon them morning
and night, and lights are placed for them in every town through which they
look at the activities of servants.(4)
11) That the Imams are children of Allah from the loins of Ali bin Abi
Talib! Abdul-husain An-Najfi fabricated a verse that : (today I have com-
pleted your religion for you with his imamate, so whoever does not follow
him and those who are my children from his loin till the Day of Judgment
those are the ones whose deeds have become worthless and they will reside
eternally in hellfire)(5)
12) That: (they are the pillars of the earth): they lied against the com-
mander of the faithful, Ali that he said: (indeed I have been given some traits
which no one has ever been given before me, I have knowledge of deaths,

calamities, lineages, final words, hence, I did not lose what preceded me,
and nothing hidden from me escapes me)(1)
13) Chapter: (Allah does not teach His prophet anything except that He
commands him to teach it to the commander of the faithful, and that he is
his associate in knowledge)(2)
Commentary:
These claims from Shiites scholars about their Imams are very strange
and show the height of disbelieve. They have by these claims taken their
Imams out of the position of Imams to the position of prophets and messen-
gers, and sometimes to the position of divinity, we seek refuge with Allah
from the devil and his group. No doubt this is disbelief. Even, no one has
ever come up with this kind of disbelieve and misguidance.
E nquiry 120: Do Shiite scholars believe that the miracles of their

Imams continue even after their death, and what is the impact of
that on their everyday life?
Response: Yes, even it continues to be renewed, and this has taken two
practical forms as can be seen in two areas:
First: miracles which Shiite scholars attribute to their absent master
being waited.
Second: claim of Shiite scholars that miracles occur at the grave yard of
their imams, like stories of the sick who are cured, and the blind who regain
their sight at grave yards!! There are also stories of animals especially pigs
and donkeys going to grave yards to seek cure!! And also stories of people
entrusting the imams in their graves with their properties!(3)
With this the accounts of the custodian of these graves increased!
E nquiry 121: What is the ruling on visiting grave of the imams

according to Shiite scholars?
Response: This is considered an obligation among the obligatory acts

of worship in Shiism, and whoever abandons it becomes a disbeliever!(4)
(1) Usul Al-kafi 1/141-142, he mentioned 3 hadiths in it.

They claimed that Harun bin Kharijah asked their Imam Abu Abdullah:
(about one who abandons visitation to the grave of Al-husain bin Ali without
any reason, he said: such a person is among the dwellers of hellfire)(1)
Contradiction:
They lied against Abu Jafaar that he said:
(whoever does not visit the grave of Al-husain among out sect has a
defect in his faith and religion, and if he should enter paradise he will be
below the faithful)(2)
E nquiry 122: What are the obligatory etiquettes to be observed by

anyone wishing to visit a tomb?
Response: There are many etiquettes and they include the following:
☐☐ Spiritual bath and seeking permission before entering the tomb, and if
he should release air he has to repeat the bath.(3)
☐☐ Being humble and attentive, and to come in new cleaned clothes.(4)
☐☐ Standing by the tomb and kissing it. Ayatullah Muhammad Ash-shirazee
said: (the tombs are kissed just as the black stone is kissed)(5)
Al-majlisi said: (leaning on the tomb and kissing it was clearly stated)(6)
☐☐ Placing the cheek on it(7), they also said: (kissing the tomb is not detested
rather, it is sunnah to us, but if there is need for Taqiya leaving it is
better)(8)
☐☐ Doing tawaf round it (except that we should do tawaf round your
tombs)(9)

186
Contradiction:
They have also released narrations prohibiting this act. They include:
(do not do tawaf round any grave)(1)
☐☐ Facing the person in the tomb and turning the back to the Qibla: al-ma-
jlisi said: (facing the grave is a necessity even if it is not in the position
of the Qibla… and facing the grave to the visitor is like facing the Qibla,
and it is the face of Allah)(2)
The Mortal Blow:

The commander of the faithful, Ali said: (O people.. do you know that
the Prophet cursed whoever takes the graves as a prayer ground?)(3)
☐☐ To fall on the tomb and recite the prescribed supplications: this includes
their saying: (when you come to the door, stand outside the tomb, look
at the tomb and say: O master, O Abu Abdullah, O son of the messenger
of Allah, your servant, son of your servant and maid, who is humble
before you, who is negligent of your esteemed position, who acknowl-
edges your right, has come to you to seek refuge with you, intending
your sanctity…), then fall on the tomb and say: (O master I have come
to you in fear so give me security, I have come to seek refuge with you
so protect me, and I have come to you poor so grant me wealth..)(4)
☐☐ Taking the grave as a qibla, backing the Kaaba, and performing two unit
of obligatory prayers facing the tomb: they claimed that their Imam sent
an urgent message to them from Sirdab saying: (as for the prayer; it(5)
should be behind him, and the tomb should be in front of him, it is not
permissible to pray in front of it or by its left or right side; because you
do not pray in front of the Imam or beside him)(6)
This is also because Shiite scholars believe that their Imams are the
Kaaba!!
That was why they fabricated a narration that Abu Abdullah said: (we
are the Prayer in the book of Allah, and we are the Zakat, and we are the
Fasting, and we are the Hajj, and we are the sacred month, and we are the

(5) That is the Kaaba

187
sacred town, and we are the Kaaba of Allah, and we are the qibla of Allah,
and we are the face of Allah, Allah said: “So wherever you [might] turn,
there is the Face of Allah.” )(1)
Their scholar Aal Kashif Al-gitaa also stated that: facing the Kaaba in
prayers is because of the light of Ali bin Abi Talib born in it, according to
him: (the reality about facing Kaaba is facing that light that was born in it)(2)
They also believe that their imams are the mosques!!
That was why they fabricated a narration that: (narrated from Abi Abdil-
lah concerning the saying of Allah: “and that you maintain yourselves [in
worship of Him] at every place [or time] of prostration” he said: this means
the Imams)(3)
They also believe that: prostration in the Quran refers to allegiance to
their Imams.
That was why they said concerning the saying of Allah: “And they used
to be invited to prostration while they were sound.” (to his allegiance when
they were in the world and were able)(4), and they also claimed that (the two
unit of prayer during visitation is a must at any tomb)(5)
Shiite scholars consider these acts of associating partners with Allah
as the best acts of worship, and they mislead their followers to believe that
these acts necessitate (forgiveness of sins, admission to paradise, freedom
from hellfire, and acceptance of supplication)(6)
(And it is equivalent to Hajj, Umrah, Jihad, and freeing a slave)(7)
Even, Ayatullah Sistaani is of the view that prayers offered at the grave of
Ali bin Abi Talib are more rewarding than prayers at the Kaaba, according
to him: (it was narrated that prayers at the grave of Ali has two hundred
thousand rewards)(8)

Contradiction:
(Narrated from Abi Abdillah from his father that he said:
the messenger of Allah has prohibited anyone from praying on a grave,
or to sit on it, or to lean on it, or to build on it)(1)
Furthermore, are these fabricated texts attributed to their Imams not
an invitation to associating partners with Allah and changing His religion,
and also preferring the religion of the polytheist over the religion of Allah,
and replacing the worship of one God with the worship of idols? Even, for
Allah’s sake, what do we call a religion that commands its followers to
back the Kaaba and to face tombs of the Imams? And what do we call these
scholars who have developed houses of shirk which they call places of holy
visitation and have crippled houses of tauhid (mosques) as is observed?
Indeed, Allah has said the truth: “Or have they other deities who have
ordained for them a religion to which Allah has not consented? But if not for
the decisive word, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed,
the wrongdoers will have a painful punishment.” (Q42:V21).
The Mortal Blow:

Al-baaqir-may Allah have mercy on him- narrated that the messenger
of Allah said:
(Do not take my grave as Qibla, or mosque; because Allah cursed the
Jews when they took the grave of their prophets as mosques)(2)
E nquiry 123: Do the towns of Qarbala and Kufa have any virtue
according to them?
Response: Yes, Shiites scholars lied against As-Sadiq that he said: (when
affliction becomes general, seek security in Kufa and its surrounding areas)(3)
They also lied that he said concerning the virtue of the mosque of Kufa:
(its right side is a garden among the gardens of paradise, its middle is also a
garden among the gardens of paradise, its rear is a garden among the gar-
dens of paradise, and there is no righteous person or prophet except that
he has prayed in it)(4)

(4) Ibid pg 13

They also lied against Abi Abdillah that he said concerning what Allah
revealed to Kaaba: (if not for the sand of Karbala I wouldn’t have given you
any virtue, if not for what the land of Karbala comprises I would have nei-
ther created you nor the house which I boast of. Hence, be contented and
be humble to the Land of Karbala, else I will be angry with you and throw
you into the hellfire)(1)
And they lied that Karbala said: (I am the holy and blessed Land of
Allah, my sand and water are cure, I say this without pride)(2)
Ayatollah Aal Kashif Al-gitaa said about Karbala: (the most honorable
spot on earth by necessity, as clearly stated by some great contemporary
writers, and a lot of narrations bear testimony to this)(3)
And whoever denies a necessity is a disbeliever according to them.
Ayatollah Mirza Husain Al-haair said: (so also this blessed spot after
the Imam was buried in it has become a place of visit to the Muslims and
a Kaaba to monotheist!! And a place of tawaf for kings and rulers, and a
mosque to those who pray)(4)
Commentary:
Based on their belief, Karbala has these virtues because of the presence
of the body of Al-husain in it, so how comes Al-madina Al-munawara does
not have even some of these virtues despite the presence of the Prophet’s
body in it, or do they believe that the body of Al-husain is more virtuous
than that of the Prophet?
The statement of Ayatullah Aal Kashif Al-gitaa points to that: (is it not
at the center of truth that the most purified spot on the earth is the tomb of
the most honorable personality in time?)(5)
It was related in some holy text that: the black stone will be removed
from its place in Kaaba and be placed in their Haram in Kufa. They lied
against the commander of the faithful that he gave a sermon in the mosque
of Kufa and said: (O people of Kufa indeed Allah has bestowed a virtue on
you which He has not bestowed on anyone before: your prayer grounds are

the houses of Adam, Nuh, Idris, and Ibrahim…and the Days and Nights
will not cease until the black stone is placed in it)(1)
Commentary:
This was what pushed their brothers of the Qaramites to commit their
popular crime in the holy house of Allah where they removed the black
stone from Kaaba in the year 317AH(2), but they did not place it in their
haram in Kufa, why? Aren’t the books of Shiite scholars’ breeding ground
for these kind of acts?
And then, why their special interest in Kufa? Is it because the religion of
Ibn Saba the Jew was not accepted in any Muslim towns except Kufa! This is
so because Muslim towns were close to knowledge and faith and as such did
not accept the religion of Ibn Saba the Jew (Shiism) except Kufa which was far
away from the light of knowledge and faith, and that was why Shiism came
from Kufa just as the Murjia creed came from Kufa, and likewise the creed
of Mutazila and Qadariya, and invalid Hajj from Basra. All these innovations
emanated as result of their distance from the town of prophet hood. This
is so, because the reason for the emergence of innovation in every Ummah
is the disappearance of the sunnah of the messengers and their distance
from knowledge and faith, this leads to destruction. I will conclude this
commentary with the saying of Allah: “Indeed, the first House [of worship]
established for mankind was that at Makkah - blessed and guidance for the
worlds. Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was
that at Makkah - blessed and guidance for the worlds.” (Q3:V96-7).
E nquiry 124: What is their creed on Prayers, Supplication, Tawasul,

and Hajj to tombs of their Imams?
Response: Their greatest Imam, Al-khumainee said: (it is permissible to

do tawasul with leaders and intercessors of Mankind and Jin. Meaning the
Messenger and the infallible Imams, and those dignitaries are to be taken
as intercessors and mediators, and because there are guards and protectors
for every day; hence, Saturdays are reserved for the messenger of Allah,
Sundays for the commander of the faithful, Mondays for the two Imams
who are grandchildren of the Prophet, Tuesdays for As-Sajad, Al-Baqir, and
As-Sadiq, Wednesdays for Al-Kaazhim, Ar-Ridha, At-Tuqa and An-Naqi,
Thursdays for ‘As-Karee, and Fridays for the one in authority, may Allah
hasten his relief)(3)

They also lied against Abi Abdillah that he said concerning prayers at
the tomb of Al-husain: (for every unit of prayer, you have the reward of one
who performs hajj one thousand times, Umrah one thousand times, freed
one thousand slaves, and it will be like standing by a prophet in the cause
of Allah for one million times)(1)
Al-kulainee also claimed that a man came to Abi Abdillah and said to
him: (I have performed hajj nineteen times, so pray to Allah to grant me the
twentieth hajj, he said: have you visited the tomb of Al-husain? He said: no,
he said: visiting it is better than performing hajj twenty times)(2)
Contradiction:
Al-kulainee fabricated a narration from Abi Abdillah-may Allah Have
mercy on him that he said: (when you visit it, Allah will write twenty five
hajj for you)(3)
Contradiction:
mercy on him that he said: (visiting the tomb of Al-husain is equivalent to
twenty hajj and more, and twenty Hajj and Umrah)(4)
Contradiction:
They fabricated a narration that:
(whoever visits the tomb of Abi Abdillah, Allah will write the reward
of eighty Hajj for him)(5)
Contradiction:
They fabricated a narration from Abi Abdillah-may Allah Have mercy
on him that he said: (whoever comes to the tomb of Al-husain, acknowl-
edging his position, he will be like one who performed hajj one hundred
times with the Prophet)(6)

for him twenty accepted Hajj and Umrah, and twenty Hajj and Umrah
with a prophet or a just imam, and whoever comes to him on the day of eid,
Allah will write for him one hundred Hajj and Umrah, and one hundred
expeditions with a prophet or just imam. He said: I said to him: how do I
get the similitude of the reward of one who stands on Arafat day? He said:
so he looked at me angrily and said: O Bashir verily, if a believer comes to
the tomb of Al-husain on the day of Arafat and takes a spiritual birth then
goes to him, Allah will write for him for every step one hajj, and I think he
also said expedition)(1)
Finally: (by Allah, if I should narrate to you the virtues of visiting him,
and the virtues of his tomb, you would have abandoned Hajj and no one
will ever perform hajj among you)(2)
I wish he gave them the narrations!!!
As for their creed concerning the virtues of performing hajj to the tomb
of Al-husain on Arafat day:
They fabricated a narration from Abi Abdillah that he said: (Allah starts
by looking at visitors of the tomb of Al-husain on the eve of Arafat, he said: I
said: you mean before looking at the people on Arafat ground? He said: yes, I
said: how comes about that? He said: among those are children of fornication
and there are no children of fornication among those)(3)
They also fabricated a narration from: (Zaid Ash-Shahaam that he said
to Abi Abdillah: what is the reward of one who visits the tomb of Alhusain?
He said: he will be like one who visited Allah on His throne)(4)
They also fabricated a narration from Abi Abdillah that he said: (verily,
when a believer comes to the tomb of Al-husain on the day Arafat and takes
a spiritual birth, then goes to him, Allah will write for him for every step
one hajj, and I think he also said umarah and expedition)(5)

E nquiry 125: Did Shiite scholars restrict these acclaimed virtues to

the visitation of the tomb of their imams only?
Response: No, rather, they extended that to the graves of their Auliyaa
and scholars and their relatives and friends!
They fabricated a narration that Abi Al-hasan Al-‘askaree said: (if you
visit the tomb of Abdulazeem in your place, you will be like one who visited
Al-husain)(1)
They also fabricated a narration from Ibn Ar-Ridha that he said: (who-
ever visits the grave of my uncle in Qum will enter paradise)(2)
They also fabricated a narration that Abu Al-hasan bin Jafaar said:
(whoever visits the tomb of my son will have the reward of one who performs
seventy hajj, he was asked: seventy hajj? He said: yes, and seven hundred
hajj, he was asked seven hundred hajj? He said: yes, and seventy thousand
hajj… whoever visits him and stays with him for one night will be like one
who visited Allah on His throne)(3)
He annoyed his imam and hence, the Imam added more rewards!!
Commentary:
Why then do we see the Shiites, both their commoners and even scholars,
going to Makkah for hajj? And why do they visit the Mosque of the Prophet?
When there are these kinds of great virtues in these graves.
E nquiry 126: Can you briefly mention some of their acclaimed

virtues of visiting the tomb of Ali?
Response: These include their fabricated narration that Jafaar As-Sadiq

said: (whoever visits my grandfather, acknowledging his position, Allah
will write for him for every step accepted hajj and umrah. By Allah O ibn
Marid: Allah will not allow hellfire to eat any foot covered in dust as a result
of visiting the commander of the faithful either by walking or riding, O ibn
Marid write this conversation with gold ink)(4)
Shiite scholars also fabricated a narration saying that: (whoever visits
the tomb of the commander of the faithful acknowledging his position

without pride, Allah will write for him the reward of one hundred thousand
martyrs, forgive him his past and present sins, resurrect him among those
in safety, make his reckoning easy, and give him a reception by the Angels.
When he leaves the Angels will see him off to his house, and when he falls
sick they will visit him, and when he dies they will follow him to his grave
seeking forgiveness for him.)(1)
Finally: Al-kulainee fabricated a narration that Abu Abdullah said to
one who came to him and had not visited the tomb of Ali bin Abi Talib:
(will you not visit one who Allah visits with the Angels, and the Prophets
and believers visit him too…)(2)
They also said he is in the rank of the messenger of Allah on the Day
of Judgment:
They lied against the messenger of Allah that he said: (O Ali whoever
visits me during my life time or after my death, or visits you during your life
time or after your death, or visit your two children during their life time or
after their death, I guarantee that on the Day of Judgment I will free him
from its difficulties till I make him to be the same rank with me)(3)
E nquiry 127: Can you briefly mention some of their acclaimed

virtues of visiting the tomb of Al-husain?
Response: Shiite scholars fabricated a lot of narrations in this regard

and they include:
That one who visits his tomb is in the rank of the messenger of Allah
on the Day of Judgment as earlier mentioned.
They fabricated a narration from Abu Jafaar that he said: (if people knew
the virtues of visiting the tomb of Al-husain, they would have died longing
for it and their breaths are cut off from regret over it…)(4)
They also fabricated a narration from Zurara that he said: (I heard Abu
Abdillah saying: verily, those who visit Al-husain bin Ali have a virtue on the
Day of Judgment, I said: what is their virtue? He said: they will enter paradise
forty years before others while they are being called to accountability)(5)

They also fabricated a narration from Abi Al-hasan Ar-Ridha that he

said: (whoever visits Al-husain bin Ali acknowledging his position will be
among those whom Allah will speak to from above His throne)(1)
They also claimed that: (whoever visits the tomb of Abi Abdillah with
spiritual birth will be like one who visited Allah above His throne)(2)
The Mortal Blow:

What will be the response of Shiite scholars to their narration: (from
Hanan bin Sadeer, he said: I said to Abi Abdillah: what do you say about
visiting the tomb of Al-husain? We heard that some of you say it is equivalent
to hajj and umrah? He said: this narration is very weak, it is not equivalent
to all these but visit them and do not abandon them; because they are the
leaders of the martyred youths and youths in paradise)(3)
Enquiry 128: What is the creed of their scholars concerning the

Mujtahid (one who has attained a high standard in knowledge)
among them? And what is the ruling on one who refutes him?
Response: Their scholar, Muhammad Ridha Al-muzhfir said: (our creed

concerning the Mujtahid who has fulfilled all conditions is that: he is the
representative of the Imam in his absence, and he is the general leader and
ruler, he has the same right as the Imam in judging between people, and
whoever refutes him is like one who refutes the Imam, and one who refutes
the Imam refutes Allah and has by so doing associated partner with Allah)(4)
They also fabricated a narration from Abi Baseer that he said to Abi
Abdillah: (Do you see one who refutes me on this issue as refuting you? He
said: O Abu Muhammad, whoever refutes you on this issue is like refuting
Allah and His messenger)(5).

Al-khumainee said: (these peculiarities are present in most of our jurists

in present time)(1) he also said: (the jurists are the guardians of the messenger
of Allah after the Imams and in their absence, and since the jurist is not a
prophet then he is a guardian of the Prophet, and in the time of absence he
will be the Imam of the Muslims and their leader and just judge)(2). He also
said: (the Jurists today are the proofs upon people, just as the Prophet was a
proof upon them, and everything that was entrusted with the Prophet has
been entrusted with the jurists by the Imams)(3). He also said: (verily, what
has been confirmed for the Prophet and the Imams has also been confirmed
for the jurists and there is no doubt about this issue)(4)
Commentary:
Shiite scholars have by this abandoned the household of the Prophet
and have held on to a non-existent being, and have placed themselves in the
position of the Imam from the household of the Prophet with the name of
this non-existent being. Everyone among their scholar is called: Ayatullah
(sign of Allah), Hujatullah (proof of Allah), Imam, general ruler, provider
of wealth, while no one among the household of the prophet share with
them in all that.
Muhammad Jawad Mugniya said: (how can Al-khumainee claim to be
the general representative of the Absent Imam, while the Absent Imam is
in the position of the Prophet or position of God to us)(5)
They also made it obligatory on a Shiite to imitate a particular mujtahid
otherwise (all his acts of worship will be invalid and not accepted from him,
even if he prayed, fast and worshipped all is life, except if his acts conform
to the opinion of the one he imitates after that)(6)
Commentary:
Verily, this high position of the Mujtahidun among Shiite scholars
reminds us of the position of popes and priests among the Christians!

E nquiry 129: What is Taqiyya? And what is its virtue according to

Shiites scholars’ school of thought?
Response: Their scholar, Al-mufeed said: (Taqiyya means hiding the

truth and covering the creed in it, hiding away from dissenters and to avoid
helping them with what will be harmful in the religion or in the life of this
world)(7)
Muhammad Jawad Muganiya defined it as (to say or do other than what
you believe so as to protect yourself or wealth from harm or to preserve
your honor)(8)
Hence, it is to manifest faith in the mazhab of Ahlu Sunnah, and to hide
faith in the mazhab of the twelve Imam Shiism.!
They lied against Ali that he said: (Taqiyya is one of the most virtuous
acts of a believer)(9)
They also claimed that Al-husain bin Ali said: (if not for Taqiyya we
couldn’t differentiate our saints from our enemies)(10)
And that Abu Abdillah said: (Allah has not been worshipped with
anything more beloved to him than something hidden, I said: what do you
mean by something hidden? He said: Taqiyya)(11).
And that he also said: “There is no faith for that person who has no
taqiyyah”.(12) And that Abu Abdullah said: “Taqiyyah is part of my religion
and the religion of my fathers. Anyone who has no taqiyyah has no Imaan”.(13)
Their greatest Imam, Al-Khumaini, said: “Verily, Allah honoured the
prophets much more than any other of His creatures because of their strict-
ness in deceiving their opponents and their good practice of taqiyyah.”(14)

Commentary:
All the aforementioned statements are being reported by the scholars
of Shiites as words from their Imama, Ali (d. 40), Al-Husein his son (d. 61),
Abu Ja’far (d. 114) and Abu Abdullah (d. 148). And funny enough, they all
lived at a time Islam was at its peak of power and control. So what then was
the need for the practice of Taqiyyah? Or perhaps, was it a different religion
they had to hide from the people?
E nquiry: 130: What is the rule guiding letting go the practice of

taqiyyah?
Response: That anyone who leaves it is like one who abandoned salat.
They lied against As-Saadiq that he said: “It would be right for me to say
that anyone who abandoned taqiyyah is like a person who leaves salat”.(1) The
continued their usual escalation in fabrication and said that “abandoning it is
of the greatest destroyers of the religion, which is rejecting the prophethood
or the Imamate or transgression against brothers or abandoning taqiyyah”.(2)
They continued and said: “nine-tenth of the religion is in taqiyyah,
and there is no religion for one who has no taqiyyah”.(3) They narrated that
“Ali bin Al-Husein Zain Al-Abiddeen said: Allah forgives all sins for the
believer in this world and hereafter except two: abandoning taqiyyah and
not safeguarding the rights of his brothers”.(4)
Al-Kulaini fabricated as usual that “Abu Abdullah said: O Sulaiman!
You people are in a religion that Allah makes strong he who conceals it and
debase the one who makes it known”.(5)
And finally, they claimed that “one who abandoned taqiyyah is a dis-
believer”(6) “he has removed himself from the religion of Allah and the
Imams”.(7)

Comment:
“Sufyaan As-Samt said: I told Abu Abdullah: may I be sacrificed on your
behalf. A man, who is known for lies would come to us and reprt hadeeth
from you that we dislike. He said: did he tell you that I said the night was
day? I said no. he then said: Even if he said so, you have not denied him but
you denied me”.(1)
This and many other narratives of the Shiites scholars show that amongst
them are those who detest their reports, but they are mandated to obliged
and believe blindly.they fabricated that Jaabir said that “Abu Ja’far said: the
prophet (PBUH) said: The hadeeth of the family of Muhammad is difficult
and seen as such. (Therefore), it would only be lelieved by Angel close to
Allah or a prophet sent by Allah or a servant of Allah whose mind has been
tested for faith. Any hadeeth of the family of Muhammad narrated to you
and your minds find ease in believing and accepting, take it. And the one
you find difficult to bear and accept, return it to Allah, His prophet and the
scholar from the family of Muhammad. This is because the accursed one
is the one that is given a narrative from the family of Muhammad and he
says: this cannot be and denying it is equal to disbelief”.(2)
E nquiry 131: When can taqiyyah be abandoned as seen by scholars

of Shiites?
Response: A Shiite must hold on to taqiyyah as long as he is in the lands

of Muslims. Their scholars call the land of Muslims and land of taqiyyah.
They fabricated that “taqiyyah in the land of taqiyyah is compulsory”(3).
They also refer to the lands of Muslims to be wrong nation. They fabricated
that “anyone who believed in Allah and the Last Day should never speak in
the wrong nation except with taqiyyah”.(4)
They also refer the the Muslim nation as the nation of the opressors. They
fabricated that “taqiyyah is mandatory on us in the nation of the oppressors,
and anyone who abandons it has left the Imamiyyah religion”.(5)

They even made compulsory taqiyyah upon the Ahlus-sunnah. Al-Alimi

wrote a chapter which he titled: Chapter of making taqiyyah mandatory on
the masses”.(1)
Contradiction:
They had fabricated that “He who abandoned taqiyyah before the appear-
ance of the flag bearer is not one of us”(2). Why?
Their sheikh Muhammad Baaqir answered that abandoning it “would
lead to delay in the availability of required number of sincere people, who
their existence makes up a fundamental condition for the advent”.(3)
E nquiry 132: Why do we see some Shiites observe salat behind

Imams in Ka’bah and the Prophet’s mosque?
Response: their scholars claimed falsely that “anyone who prays behind
them is just like one who prayed behind the prophet (PBUH).(4)
Then their Imam, Al-Khumaini, commented on this, saying: “And there
is no doubt that observing salat with the Prophet (PBUH) is correct and has
great honour. That is the same for one who prays with them on taqiyyah”.(5)
They also fabricated “Anyone who abserves salat behing the hypocrites
on taqiyyah is like one who observed salat behind the Imams”.(6)
E nquiry 133: Is taqiyyah still playing its unique role in the Shiite
religion:
Response: Yes. The practical effect of taqiyyah still plays its unique role
in different aspects:
Firstly: The perpetrators of evil causing division in the Ummah have
effectively made use of taqiyyah in carrying out their ill intents. They do so
by refuting authentic reports and narratives found in their books and that
(2) Kamaal Ad-Deen 2/346 hadeeth 5; Wasaa’il Ash-Shee’ah 11/248 hadeeth 25; Tafseer
Noor Ath-Thaqalain 4/47 hadeeth 13 (Ash-Shu’araa).

(5) Risaalah fee At-Taqiyyah in the second part of Al-Khumaini’s Risaalah, p. 108.
201
conform to the teachings of the prohet (PBUH) as it is in the Ahlus-sunnah

books. They refute such reports with the proof of taqiyyah so that it should
not be seen to confirm what the Ahlus-sunnah has.
For example, the authentic report in their books praising the com-
panions of the prophet (PBUH; the prophet giving two of his daughters in
marriage to Uthman bin Affaan and Abu Al-‘As; and Ali giving her daughter,
Ummu Kulthum, in marriage to Umar bin Al-Khattaab…etc., are all refuted
based on the notion of taqiyyah.(1)
Secondly: Their scholars took the notion of taqiyyah to be their way out
when it comes to issues pertaining to the contradictions and controvercies
in their hadeeth. The phenomenon of self contradiction in their hadeeth
narrations is clear evidence that their religion is not from God. (If it were to
be from other than Allah, you would have seen in it many contradictions)
[An-Nisa: 82]
Their scholar, Yusuf Al-bahraani, disclosed how confused and bewil-
dered the scholars of the Shiites are before the serious contradictions in
their religious narratives. They are really confused about what to say to their
followers, which narration they should abandon, follow or free to choose
from. He said: “The making of laws is not free from flaw, hesitation and
doubt because of the numerous controversies in contradicting proofs”.(2)
The Mortal Blow:

If these huge number of discrepancies and contradictions in the reports
of the Shiites have led to a very huge number of their followers to denounce
the faith in the past, what then do you think of it in our time? At-Tousi
expressed serious pains over what has become of their reports and narra-
tives. He said: “they are of such dissimilarities and contradictions that two
reports hardly correlate except a third by their side contradicts them; no
one hadeeth can hardly be seen to be solemnly authentic without the next
negating it, to the extent that our opponents have taken that as a serious
flaw on our religious denomination”.(3)
Al-kaashaani also complained about these contradictions and dispar-
ity by saying: “You would even find them differing in one issue with up to
twenty, thrity and even more opinions. In fact, I can put it that there is not a
single issue that they did not differ in, even related matters are not left out”.(4)

(4) Kitaab Al-Waafi 1/16.
202
Thirdly: The Shiite scholars, as earlier mentioned, claimed that their

Imams are infallible. They neither forget nor mistake. However, in their
adopted books, we find what negate such claim and sharply contradict it.
As a result of this discovery, their scholars fell back on taqiyyah as cover. So
taqiyyah is the way out in granting their Imams an infallibility that without
it the Shiite denomination as a whole is in shambles.
Fourthly: The Shiite principle of “Contradicting the Ahlus-sunnah is
Compulsory” emanated from taqiyyah. They belief in this lies guidance and
that their authentic reports from their Imam were all out of the notion of
taqiyyah. Thus, they fabricated against Abu Abdullah that he said: “When-
ever you see two contradicting hadeeths, take to that one which contradicts
the people”,(1) meaning Ahlus-sunnah.
In another narration it says: “hold on to the one amongst the two that
is farther from the belief of the masses(2)”.(3)
It becomes clear that going against what Ahlus-sunnah has is a sign
that the Shiites are on the right track, even if that which the Ahlus-sunnah
believes in is in accordance with the Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet
(PBUH).
E nquiry 134: What is the meaning of Ar-Raj’ah (Rebirth), who is it

for and what do Shiite scholars belif about it?
Response: Ar-Raj’ah (Rebirth) means “the return of many of the dead

back to the world before the Last Day(4)” “in their fasion in which they for-
merly were(5)”.
And those that will return to the world, according to their belief, are
“The seal of prophets (PBUH), all other prophets, the infallible Imams, the
solely dedicated to Islam and those who were solely dedicated to disbelief
and not considered to be amongst the people of the ignorant times usually
refered to as ‘the weak one’”.(6)

(6) Daa’itat Al-ma’aarif Al-“Uluwiyyah 1/253 by Jawwaad Taara.
203
As for their belief in it, their sheikh Al-Mufeed says: “and the Imamate
denomination agreed that many dead persons will return back to the world
before the Last Day”.(1) They also fabricated another narration, which says:
“Anyone who does not believe in our rebirth and permit our mut’at marriage
is not one of us”.(2)
Al-Majlisi said: “Shiites accrose the epochs agreed on it and it has been
very popular in their midst like the sun light in the peak of the noon”.(3)
At-Tabrisi, Al-Hurr Al-‘Aamili and Ibn Al-Mudhaffar said: “rebirth is
a fact agreed upon by all the Imamiyyah Shiites”.(4) In fact “it is among the
necessities of the beliefs of the Imamate denomination of Shiite as recognized
by all known scholars and popular writers”.(5)
They judged anyone who fails to accept rebirth as a disbeliever and
apostate.
They made a fabrication against Ali (Allah be pleased with him) that
he said: “Anyone who denies that I have on this earth rebirth after rebirth,
call after call, return after return, in a manner like I used to be in the past,
such person has refuted us; and anyone who refutes us has refuted Allah”.(6)
Comment:
Allah the Almighty has destroyed the notion of rebirth in the Qur’an
when He said: ([For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death
comes to one of them, he says, “My Lord, send me back. That I might do
righteousness in that which I left behind.” No! It is only a word he is saying;

and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.) [Al-Mu’mi-
num: 99-100]
He again said: (Have they not considered how many generations We
destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?) [Yasin: 31]
E nquiry 135: Why do all the prophets and messengers return accord-
ing to the belief of the Shiites?
Response: So that they become soldiers fighting under the banner of

Ali (May Allah be pleased with him).
They fabricated that Abu Abdullah said: “Allah have not send the proph-
ets and Messengers except that He will return then back to the world to
fight under the leader of the believers, Ali bin Abi Taalib (Allah be pleased
with him)”.(1)
E nquiry 136: when will the creation be judged on the Last Day, and
who carries out the judgment?
Response: It will take place before the last Day.

They lied against Abu Abdullah that he said: “Verily, the one to judge
the people before the Last Day will be Al-Husein bin Ali (May Allah be
pleased with him). And as for the Last Day, it is resurrection for either
Jannah or Hell.”(2)
Contradiction:
Allah says: (Verily, their accountability is only upon my Lord, if you
could perceive) [Ash-Shu’araa: 113]
He, the most High, also said: (Then indeed, upon Us is their account)
[Al-Ghashiyah: 26]
E nquiry 137: Who was the first to call to rebirth and how did this
belief filter into the Shiites beliefs?
Response: The first caller to rebirth was the founder of shi’sm, Abdullah
bin Saba’ the Jew. He was the very first to speak of such when he proclaimed
the return of the prophet (PBUH) as stated in their books. This later evolved
into the notion and belief that Ali will return.
When the news about the death of Ali (Allah be pleased with him) got
to him, he told the news bearer: “You lied. Even if you can bring his brains

to us in seventy purses and produce seventy trustworthy men as witnesses

to his death, we will only be reassured that he is neither dead nor was he
killed. He will never die until after possessing the world”.(1)
The issue has evolved into a general belief within the over three hun-
dred Shiites denominations that their different Imams will surely return.
For example: the groups called Al-Keesaaniyyah are awaiting the return of
their Imam, Muhammad bin Al-Hanafiyyah. They claim he is kept in the
hiding in Radhwa mountan until he is permitted to come out. While the
Muhammadiyyah group await their own Imam, Muhammad bin Abdullah
bin Al-Hasan bin Al-Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Taalib. They don’t believe in
either his murder or his death.(2)
E nquiry 138: What is Al-Badaa’, they Shiites belief about it and the
first to proclaim it?
Response: According to Al-Majlisi, Al-Badaa’ has two meanings lit-

erarily:(3)
1) Appearance and manifestation
2) Emergence of new opinion
However, Al-Badaa’ is originally a belief of the Jews. They believe in
A-Badaa’ and disbelieve in metempsychosis because it entails the former.(4)
This belief filtered into the Sab’iyyah group of Shiites and they all
accepted it that new opinions occur to Allah from time to time after deci-
sion.(5)
This belief of Al-Badaa’ is a fundamental among the fundamentals of
their beliefs. They fabricated against Abu Abdullah that he said: “nothing
is as good as Al-Badaa’ in worshipping Allah”.(6)

206
They also lied against him that he said: “if the people knew the rewards
attached to believing in Al-Badaa’, they would have not stopped discussing
about it”.(1)
This is a consensually agreed point amongst them. This is because “they
all agreed upon qualifying Allah with the word ‘Badaa’”.(2)
Kindly bear the statement of their sheikh, Al-Kulaini, when he lied
against Abu Al-Hasan that he said:
“It manifested to Allah about Abu Muhammad after Abu Ja’farwhat he
never knew about him”.(3)
Comment:
O Shiite scholars! (What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute
to Allah [due] grandeur. While He has created you in stages?) [Nuh: 13-14]
(They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth entirely
will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be
folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above what they associate
with Him.) [Az-Zumar: 67]
This belief of the Shiites, which they cliam is the best thing ever Allah
can be worshipped with, entails that Allah most be ignorant. And they also
qualified their Imams as “verily, whenever the Imam wishes to know he
knows”.(4)
The Mortal Blow:

Al-Kulaini narrated that “Mansur bin Haazim said: I asked Abu Abdul-
lah: can there be anything today that wasn’t previously in the knowing of
Allah? He answered: no and may Allah disgrace anyone who claims that. I
said: isn’t the past, the present and future all within the knowing of Allah?
He said: yes, of course, even before the creation”.(5)
How bad is it for the Shiite scholars to ascribe to Allah ignorance of
what He decrees and yet they claim nothing is hiden from their Imams!
They exonorate their Imams from mistakes and yet ascribe such to Allah!!!

E nquiry 139: Whi did they proclaim the belief on Al-Badaa’ even
while it contradicted texts of the Qur’an, the sunnah, statements
of their Imams and logic?
Response: Their sheikh, Sulaiman bin Jarir said: “The Imams of the
Rejecters (Rafidites) enacted for their followers two utterences which they
will never be able to get away with in all their lies against their Imams. These
utterences are: Al-Badaa’ and At-Taqiyyah. As for Al-Badaa’, it was they way
out for their leaders who placed themselves in the positions of prophets before
their followers. They would tell their followers that so and so will happen in
so and so time. If what they proposed come to fruition, they would say: did
we not inform of it? We know what the prophets knew and we have from
Allah all it takes to be like them. But if it happens not as they proposed, they
would tell their followers: it manifested to Allah to make it as it became”.(1)
For example, they claimed that their Imams have knowledge of life span,
designated provisions, afflictions, sicknesses and all that are placed on the
notion of Al-Badaa’ (manifestation).(2)
Manifestation is nothing than a trick with which they cover up their
lies whenever they predict what contradicts reality.
These scholars were able to cause their followers believe in this notion
and thus, made them submissive to all their contradictions, controvercies
and lies. To this effect they fabricated that their Imams said: “whenever we
inform you of something and it actually occurred the way we said it, then
you should say: Allah and His Messenger are correct. And if should in case,
it occurred to the contrary, then say: Allah and His Messenger are correct.
You will be reqarded twice”.(3)
E nquiry 140: What is their belief on the Absence and who initiated
it?
Response: Abdullah Fayyaadh, one of their scholars, said: “Absence is

one of the basic fundamental beliefs of the Imamate shittes”.(4) They believe
that the earth cannever be free of an Imam not even for a moment.

208
Al-Kulaini fabricated that Abu Abdullah said: “If the earth were to be
without an Imam for a moment, it would sink”.(1)
He also lied against Abu Ja’far that he said: “If the earth were to be
without an Imam for a single period of time, it would ripple its inhabitants
just like the sea does to its inhabitants”.(2)
That is because the Imam is “the evidence over the inhabitants of the
earth”.(3) There is no other evidence for the people of the earth aside the
Imam, not even the Qur’an.
This is because “the Qur’an can not be evidence except with a flag
bearer”.(4)
And the flag bearer is one of their twelve Imams as proclaimed in their
books on Aqaadah.
The first to initiate this belief was the originator of the Shiite denomi-
nation, Abdullah bin Saba’ the Jew when he proclaimed such on Ali (Allah
be pleased with him)”(5)
E nquiry 141: Let’s ask the Shiite scholars: “where is your Imam of
today”?
Response: Your eleventh Imam, Al-Hasan Al-’Askari, dies in the year

260 without successor.
It is explicitly stated in their books that “he died without a known child
or any heir. Therefore, Ja’far, his brother and mother shared his inheri-
tance”.(6)
After his death without a heir, Shiites got spli over the matter into several
groups. ANubukhti(7) and Al-Mufeed(8) put the number at fourteen groups,

Al-Qummi said they got up to fifteen or more(1) and Al-Mas’udi put it at

twenty or more(2).
So of their scholars even said “the Imamiyyah denomination has end-
ed”.(3) Some said: “the Imamiyyah denomination ceased to be after the death
of Al-Hasan. The Imams ascended up and the earth has no more evidence
on it from the family of Muhammad (PBUH)”.(4)
The demise of Al-Hasan (Allah be pleased with him) without a successor
almost marked the end of shi’sm and all about it, for their pillar, the Imam,
was late.
However, the notion of “the absence of Imam” saved the denomination
before their huge followers. The “absent son” of Imam Al-Hasan Al-’Askari
has since then become the pivot point of their religion. They were actually
left with no other option to keep their fabricated beliefs and baseless religion
in existence except to claim that their Imam was now in absentia.
If we can beat our chest to equivocally say that Abdullah bin Baba’, the
Jew, was the first to lay down the foundations upon which the Shiite denom-
ination satnds today, it is also crystal clear the Abu ‘Amr Uthman bin Sa’eed
Al-’Amri Al-Azdi Al-’Askari (d. 280) was the one who successfully found
a replacement for ‘the notion of Imamate’ after the physical absence of any
heir or successor to Al-Hasan. It could be claimed that he wasn’t alone in
this, but he remains the most apparent advocator of this notion. “And the
entire denomination of Shiites agree that he is trust worthy and authentic
in narration”.(5)
This man fabricated that “their Imam, Al-Hasan, had a son who went
into hiding at the age of four”.(6)
Al-Majlisi said: “Most narratives have it that the son was few months
less than five years or one year and few months less than five”.(7)
Despite the fact that this so-called son never appeared in the life time
of the father, Al-Hasan, “and the generality of the people never know him

after the demise of the father”(1), yet this man (i.e. Uthman) claims he knew
him and that he is the successor of the father who will collect the money of
his supporters and answer their questions.
Comment:
Is it suprising that Shiite scholars who claim they do not accept any
opinion without one of their infallible Imams, even a general consensus of
the people and scholars is viod without an Imam, yet in this most import-
ant fundamental part of their religion, they accepted the proclamation of a
single fallible man?! So many other individuals of his like have also claimed
the samething with each person claiming the gateway to the hidden. This
phenomenon led to a great controversy between these hungry and provi-
sion finding scholars. It got to a stage where by each one released reports
signed by the absent Imam raining curses on his opponents and rejecting
their claims. Their scholar, Al-Majlisi, mentioned some of them under the
chapter he called: “Listing the blameworthy ones who claimed gateway and
signatures (of the absent Imam) falsely, may Allah curse them”.(2)
In fact, this Uthman and those with him on this proclamation, refused
to either mention the name of this said son of the late eleventh Imam or his
where about.
On the authority of “Abu Abdullah As-Saalihi who said: after the depar-
ture of Abu Muhammad, our people asked me about to ask about the name
and place, and the answer was: if you the name is made known to you, you
will make it public and if they know the place, they will lead to him”.(3)
Al-Kulaini fabricated that “Abu Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him)
said: only a Kafir (non-believer) will call the owner of this matter by his
name”.(4) and when Al-Hasan Al-‘Askari was asked how he would be men-
tioned, “he replied: the evidence from the family of Muhammad”.(5)
The Embarrassment:
It is crystal clear that concealing his name and place is a plot to cover
up this fabricated lie. This is because it is absord for the Shiite scholars to
explicitly instruct that such information be concealed, whereas they have

said that “anyone who doesn’t know his Imam from the family of the Prophet
will, therefore, know and worship other than Allah, and this, by Allah, is
misguidance”.(1)
They also said “that whosoever dies without knwing his Imam dies the
death of ignorance”.(2)
The Mortal Blow for Shiite Scholars:

Because the belief of the Shiite is based on lies and fabrications from
their scholars, they forgot that they had already decleared anyone who
called him by his name to be a disbeliever, and thus reported that “Jaabir
bin Abdullah Al-Ansaari said that the Prophet (PBUH) said: the Mahdi is
from my progeny, his name is my name and his nickname is my nickname”.(3)
The son of Uthman, Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Uthman (d. 305 or 305)
also proclaimed the Notion of Absence just like his father did before him.
This has led to the several devetions in the Shiite denomination, in which
they rained curses upon one another. But the altimate reason was nothing
but the greed to acquire wealth.(4)
Then did Muhammad bin Uthman appoint Abu Al-Qasim Al-Hasan
bin Rooh An-Noubukhti and an unprecedented disunity broke within the
ranks of the Shiite denomination. Curses and defamation became the order
of the day.(5)
Finally and in a nut shell, Ibn Rooh entrusted the ‘Baabiyyah’ (gateway
to the absent) to Ali bin Muhammad As-Samri.(6)
As-Samri held the position for three good years and when he was in
his death bed, he realized how trivial what he strove for was and became
ashamed of being the authorized representative of the absent Imam. There-
fore, when the people asked him: “who is your trustee after you?” he replied:
“the matter is for Allah, and He will surely accomplish it.”(7)

212
The era in which those four men represented the absent Imam is called
the “Minor Absence”. And this belief of “Absence” evolved and slppied off
the hands of one individual. The scholars claimed the direct link to the
awaited Mahdi had ended and thus, they developed the notion of multiple
representatives of the awaited Mahdi. This meant that every scholar of the
Shiite who is up to the level of a mujtahid is a representative of the Imam.
The signature to this effect says: “As for the happenings, refer to the reporters
of our hadeeth. They are my evidence over you while I am Allah’s evidence
over you”.(1)
Why did he not refer them to the Qur’an and sunnah of the Prophet
(PBUH)? And why did they do such and ascribed it to As-Samri the Gateway?
Their sheikh, Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Ali Ash-Shalmaghaani, one
of their representatives of the absent Imam said: “we did not indulge in this
matter with Abu Al-Qasim bin Al-Hasan As-Samri except that we knew too
well what we were indulging in. we use to (before then) quarrel one another
over the matter just as dogs do quarrel over cadaver”.(2)
There is no doubt that the belief of “Absence”, which is a pillar of the
Shiite denomination, has caused so many scholars of theirs to doubt it,
especially considering the lengthy period of the acclaimed absence and lose
of link with the absent Imam. And should they be blamed for that?
Ibn Baabawaih Al-Qummi, one of their greatest sheikhs, said: “I returned
to Neysabur and lived therein. I realized that most of those who came to me
from the Shiites have become bewildered by the belief of “Absence” and that
they also had ambiguity over the flag bearer”.(3)
O you just reader! This doubt over their awaited one occurred during
the time of their sheikh Ibn baabawaih Al-Qummi (d. 381). What would the
doubt be like as at this time of ours when several centuries have passed by?
E nquiry 142: What is the reason their scholars present for the
absence of their awaited Mahdi?
Response: They claim that the reason for his absence was for “fear of
been murdered”.(4)

Comment:
How can they say this kind of fallacy? Aren’t they the ones who forcefully
make their followers adhere to the doctrine that their Imams know when
they will die, how they will doe, and in fact, that they never die except by
their choice”(1)?
So if your awaited Imam entered into the absence “for fear of being
murdered”(2), why hadn’t he come out when the family of Bawaih the Shiites
took control over Bagdad; caused the Abbaside Khalifas to be subservient
to them and with their swords pulled down the Islamic state? Wasn’t that a
befitting period for him to come out?
When Shah Isma’eel A-Safwi mercilessly killed Ahlus-Sunnah, why did
he not come out from his hiding?
Why did he fail to come out when Kareemkhan Az-Zindi, one of the
greatest Iranian rulers, inscribed on metals the name of their Imam whom
he claimed to represent?
In fact, why did he fail to come out this period after Al-Khumaini, who
claimed complete representation of the absent, has successfully established
his Islamic nation?
He also failed to come out even after the number of Shiites has been
proven to exceed two hundred million(3), according to them, while most
await his coming?
How could he have live this long period? A man once told their Imam,
Ali Ar-Ridha: “May I be sacrificed on your behalf. A group of people are
standing by your late father claiming that he is not dead. He said: they lie,
and they are disbelievers in what Allah revealed to His prophet (PBUH). If
Allah were to increase in the life span of any one due to the great benefit to
mankind, he would have done that to His Prophet (PBUH)”.(4)
E nquiry 143: What is the verdict of the Shiite scholars over anyone
who denied the coming of their flagbearer?
Response: They fabricated against the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) that

he said: “Whoever denies the flag bearer of my family has denied me”.(5)
(1) Usool Al-Kaafi 1/186, he listed 8 narratives therein.

Ibn Baabawaih Al-Qummi said: “A similitude of one who denies the

flag bearer in his absence is like Iblis who refused to prostrate before Adam.
That was how it was reported from As-Sadiq Ja’far bin Muhammad”.(1)
Lutfullah As-Saafi said: “Reports on the virtue of awaiting the coming
of the absent Imam are numerous and up to tawaatur”.(2)
Awaiting his coming of from his absence is a dundamental in their
religion:
Al-Kulaini fabricated that Abu Ja’far said to Abu Al-Jaarood: “By Allah,
I will hand over to you my religion and the religion of my fathers, which we
worship Allah with: to bear witness that there is none worthy of worship
except Allah, and that Muhammad (PBUH) is the Messenger of Allah, and
to accept what he brought from His Lord, and the Government of our suc-
cessor; repudiation of our enemies, submission to our sommand, awaiting
the flag bearer, striving and piety”.(3)
E nquiry 144: What is the benefit the Shiite scholars derived from
innovating the belief of absence?
Response: The greatest benefit was to expunge most of the followers of

shi’sm out of their religion and make them apostates.
There is no cause for alerm, for that wasn’t my words but from their
own revered sources.
One of the companions of their Imam, Ja’far, said: “I pondered over
his birth, his absence and delay in coming out; the length of his age and
the tribuklation the believers will face after his period; the dobts that will
be created in the minds of the Shiites due to the lengthy absence, and the
apostation of most of them from their religion”.(4)
E nquiry 145: When is Friday prayer compulsory according to the

Shiite scholars?
Response: Friday salat is not compulsory until their hiding Mahdi comes
out from his hiding place to lead the people in prayer. That’s why they said:
(1) Kamaal Ad-Deen wa Tamaam An-Ni’mah 1/25.
(2) Muntakhab Al-Athar p. 499. He was appointed as a member of the committee that
wrote the Iranian Constitution, and was appointed again by Al-Khumaini as the preserver
of the Constitution. See: Sawaanih Al-Ayyaam p. 91.

(4) Kitaab Al-Ghaibah p. 117; Bihaar Al-Anwaar 51/220 hadeeth 9.
215
“The Friday prayer and the Government are for the Imam”(1). Some of their
scholars confirmed this and said: “The Shiites from the time of their Imams
have always abandoned the Friday prayers”.(2)
However, when their great Imam, Al-Khumaini, realized the length of
the absence of their awaited Imam, he said: “Friday prayer is compulsory
in these times with the option of choosing between it and the noon prayer,
and the Friday prayer is better while the noon prayer is more precausious”.(3)
E nquiry 146: Is Jihad permissible before the appearance of their

Mahdi?
Response: The fabricated that fighting under anyone other than the
imam is prohibited just like a cadaver, blood and the meat of pork”.(4)
Al-Khumaini said: “In times of the absence of the successor and the
awaited leader of all times, the representatives, who are scholars qualified
to give verdicts and judge, are to take charge of all responsibilities of the
Imam except entering into a Jihad”.(5)
Contradiction:
When their great sign, Al-Khumaini, established his nation, he wrote a
constitution in which he stated: “Verily, the military of this Islamic Republic
will not only be responsible for securing the borders, but they shall also
be responsible for bearing the religious mission of Jihad in the cause of
Allah and fighting to spread the Law of Allah across the nook and cranny
of globe”.(6)

Response: Their Imam said: “Curse on them for hastening. It is murder

in this world and also in the hearafter. By Allah, none is a shaheed (martyr)
except our Shiites even if they die in their beds”.(1)
E nquiry 148: What do the Shiite scholars believe their twelfth Imam
will do when he finally comes out?
Response: (1) To revenge on Abubakr and Umar May Allah be pleased

with them both):
The Shiite scholars have stated explicitly that their awaited Mahdi will
resurrect Abubakr and Umar and crucify them on a palmtree trunk. He will
murder them one thousand times every day. “Then will he nail them to a
tree and command fire to come out from the ground, which will burn them
with the tree. He will then instruct a wind that will blow them into the sea
in ashes. Al-Mufadhdhal said: I asked: will that be their last punishment?
He answered: O Mufadhdhal! That is not their last punishment”.(2)
They prepare supplications which they say on daily basis to invoke their
flag bearer to come out and carry revenge on them.(3)
Al-Majlisi said: “If the Mahdi comes, he will resurrect Aishah and carry
out had (i.e. Islamic punishment for fornication) on her”.(4)
2) To place the sword on the Arabs (i.e. declear a war on them):
“Abu Abdullah said: there is nothing left between us and the Arabs
except slaughtering. He made a sign by pointing his hand to his throat”.(5)
Contradiction:
This all encompassing article used refered to all Arabs, whereas amongst
the Arabs are Shiites and non-Shiites. This was why their Persian sheikhs
lied against Abu Abdullah that he said: “Beware of the Arabs, for they are
bad news and none amongst them will be amongst the supporters of the flag
bearer”.(6)The war Al-Khumaini waged against Iraq, in which there was no

differentiation between the Shiites and non-Shiites, is but the beginning of

implementing this words and instructions. It was a “kill all Arabs” affair.
As for the Arab Shiites, isn’t high time you realized that the founder
of your religion is a Jew, Abdullah bin Saba’ in collaboration with his Magi
brothers? See how they are threatening you with their awaited Mahdi as
he will murder you when eventually he comes out. Can’t you see how this
religion of yours is related and tied to Judaism and Mazdaism? Their schol-
ars fabricated against Ali (Allah be pleased with him) that he resurrected
the King of your religion, Khosrau, and said to his skull: “I swear upon you
this skull, that you will tell me whom are you and who I am? And the skull
answered in eloquent Arabic saying: As for you, you are the leader of the
believers, the head of the successors and the Imam of the pious. As for me,
I am the slave of Allah and a son of Allah’s female slave, Khosrau bin Anu
Sheerwaan…and even with this disbelief, Allah saved me from Hell Fire…
and Fire is prohibited on me”.(1)
Why would your Mahdi make use of his sword on you?
Are the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), Ali (Allah be pleased with him),
all their Imams and even the awaited Mahdi not Arabs?
They also fabricated: “This issue will not come to place except after
nine-tenth of the people have gone”.(2)
Contradiction:
They fabricated that “Muhammad bin Muslim and Abu baser said: We
over heard Abu Abdullah saying: this matter will not come to place except
after two-third of the people have gone”.(3)
3) Killing of Pilgrims between Safa and Marwa:
They Fabricated “It was as if I was with Hamraan bin A’yun and Maisir
bin Abdul Aziz striking people with their swords between Safa and mar-
wah”(4). Al-Khumaini, who claimed to be the representative of their hiding
absent Imam on earth, tried carrying out this dream of theirs in the Holy
land of makkah in Hajj of the year 1407. However, Allah foiled their evil
plan. Subsequently, the followers again carried out some explosions in Hajj
of year 1409 in which a number of innocent Pilgrims were killed. May Allah
continue to secure the Holy land and its Pilgrims from their evils.

4) To Destry the Sacred Mosque, the Mosque of the Prophet and his
house:
They fabricated that “Abu Abdullah said: The flag bearer will destroy
the Sacred Mosque and rebuild it in its original foundation, and also will he
destroy the Mosque of the Prophet (PBUH) to its foundation”.(1)
When their awaited Mahdi refused to come out, the Qaramatah imple-
mented this belief and attacked the Sacred Mosque and went with the Black
Stone in the year 317, but they took it to Bahrain and not Qumm. It remained
with them for twenty-two years. Why did they do that and where will be
people’s Qiblah be?
They fabricated as usual that Ali once delivered a sermon in the Mosque
of Kufah and said; “O people of Kufah! Allah has granted to you what He has
never given to anyone before from His bounties: Your prayer prayer place
is the house of Adam, Noah, Idrees and the prayer place of Ibrahim…and
sooner or later, the Black Stone will be planted in it”.(2)
They also fabricated that their Mahdi said: “”And I will come to Yathrib
(MAdinah) and destroy the room”.(3)
Husein Al-Khurrasaani, one of their contemporary Ayyah, said: “All
denominations of Shiites await day in day out that in a short time to come
they will conquer those sacred lands again, entering therein in peace and
tranquility, circumbulating the house of theirt Lord, observing their rituals
and viting the graves of their eminent ones. There will be no opperessive
ruler to violate their honour, depriving them of their right to Islam, killing
them….May Allah accomplish our wishes”.(4)
In an official ceremony which took place in Abadaan on the 17/3/1979
in support of Al-Khumaini, one of their scholars, Dr. Muhammad Mahdi
Saadiqi, delivered a speech in front of the huge crowd and said: “I shout out
loud to you, my Muslim brothers, all over the world that the Sacred land

of makkah is being occupied by a group of Jews”(1). and he assured them of

conquring it. In the Khumaini State, there is often this picture depicting this
same belief. The picture has the picture of the Ka’bah beside it the Aqsaa
and inbetween them is a hand holding a gun, with a text inscribed beneath
it: We shall set the two Qiblahs free”.(2)
5) To Establish the Law of the People of prophet Dawud(3):
Al-Kulaini in his book named a chapter “Chapter: About the Imams that
when they cometo control, they will judge with the law of Dawud and the
Family of Dawud and they will not be asked for proof”. He also fabricated
that Ali bin Al-hasan was asked: “with what law will they rule? He replied:
the law of the people of Dawaud. If anything gets difficult for us, the hily
spirit will teach it to us”.(4)
Contradiction:
They fabricated against Abu Ja’far that he said: “The flag bearer will
judge and a group of people, among those whom were flogged with swords
before him, would object to it and that was the Law of Adam. They will be
brough forward and slaughtered from the necks. Then he will pass another
judgment with the law of Dawud and another group of people, among those
whom were flogged with sword before him, will object. They will be brought
forward and slaughtered from their necks. Then he will pass a third judgment
with the law of Ibrahim and another group of people, among those whom
were flogged with sword before him, will object. They will be brought forward
and slaughtered from their necks. Then he will pass a fourth judgment with
the law of Muammad and his family and not a single person will object”.(5)
Contradiction:
They fabricated that “When the flag bearer of the family of the Prophet
(PBUH) comes, he will share equally and be just between the people. Anyone
who obeys him has obeyed Allah and the one who disobeys him has dis-
obeyed Allah. The Mahdi (guider) was called Mahdi because he guides to a

hidden matter. He will bring out the Torah and other divine heavenly books
from a cave in Altakia and judge between the people of the Torah with it,
judge between the people of Az-Zabur with Az-Zabur; judge between the
people of Injil with the Injil and those of the Qur’an with the Qur’an”.(6)
Meaning a universal religion that will lift up the emblem of the Moza-
ic!!(7)
They fabricated against Al-Baaqir that he said: “By Allah, it’s as if I am
looking at him, between the maqam Ibrahim and the Stone corner, taking
allegiance from the people over a new book, difficult on the Arabs”.(8)
Comment:
O poor Arab Shiites! Even with all these, your previous narrations
acknowledged that among the actions of the flag bearer and guider of your
Shiites that he will bring out a book that is not the Qur’an presently available,
and that he will live amongst the people in a manner not in line with that of
the Prophet (PBUH), Ali, Al-Hasan or Al-Husein.
Thus, they fabricated that “Verily, Allah the Most High sent Muhammad
(PBUH) as mercy and sent the flag bearer as revenge”.(9)
And Zuraarah asked Abu Ja’far about the flag bearer: “Will he lead a
life like that of the Prophet (PBUH) and his family? He replied: never, O
Zuraarah. He will not lead such a life”.
I said: May I be sacrificed on your behalf, why?
He replied: The Prophet (PBUH) lived amongst his people on the basis
of nercy. He used to bring together minds of the people. But the flag bearer
will live amongst the people with killing. That is what he is instructed to do
in the book with him, to kill and not ask repentance from anyone”.(10)
Based on this, the Shiite scholars have it that the flag bearer wil not
take to the path of the Prophet (PBUH) in his way of life, Ali, Al-Hasan or
(6) Al-Ghaibah by An-Nu’maani p. 243 hadeeth 26; Bihaar Al-Anwaar 52/351 hadeeth 103.
(7) In fact, their sheikh, Ash-Shareef Ar-Radhi (d. 406) fabricated in his book ‘Khasaa’is
Ameer Al-Mu’mineen Ali bin Abi taalib’ p. 41 that Ali used to say: “If I am to come back
again, I will judge the people of Torah with Torah, the people of Injeel with their Injeel, the
people of Az-Zabur with their Az-Zabur and the people of the Qur’an with the Qur’an”.

Al-Husein. Then does that not mean that this flag bearer could be the State
of Isreal or the False Messiah?
Why the Law of David?

Don’t you think this is a reference to the Jewish origin of the Shiite
denomination? And the State of Isreal most be governed by the Law of the
people of David. When the State of Isreal is eventually established, one of its
first objectives is to slaughter the Muslims, especially the Arabs. Amongst
the dreams of the State of Isreal are: to destroy the sacred Mosque of Ka’bah,
destroy the Mosque of the Prophet (PBUH) and to replace the Qur’an with
a new book. Al-Mousawi claimed that the twelve Imamas of the Shiites are
Isrealites. They also hate Angel Jibreel, and Allah said: (Say, “Whoever is
an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur’an down
upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah, confirming that
which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers.
Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His messengers and
Gabriel and Michael - then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers).
[Al-Baqarah: 97-98]
6) Changing of the Inheritance:
They fabricated against As-Saadiq that he said: “Allah made (some)
souls to become like brothers in the shadings two thousand years before
He created the bodies. Therefore, when our awaited flag bearer eventually
comes, he will make a person’s brother from the shadings inherit him and
debrive the brother by birth”.(1)
E nquiry 149: Did Shiite scholars state the time their acclaimed
establisher will emerge?
Response: Yes.
Their most trusted, Al-Kulainee lied against commander of the faithful,
Ali that he was asked: (how long will the confusion and absence be? He said:
six days, or six months, or six years. I said: and this will indeed happen, so
he said: yes like he was created…)(2)
However, he did not emerge! So their scholars changed the time to
seventy years of absence.
And he did not emerge, so they changed the time to one hundred and
forty years.
And he did not emerge, so they announced that there is no fixed time
for his emergence. That was after they had waited a long period and became
(1) Al-I’tiqaadaat by Ibn Baabawaih p. 48.
(2) Ibid vol 1, pg 338, hadith no. 7
222
tyrannize by confusion. So, Al-kulainee fabricated a narration from: (Abu

Baseer from Abdullah that he said: I asked him about the establisher? He
said: those who fixed a time for his emergence lied, we the Ahlul Bait did
not fix any time.)(1)
E nquiry 150: what is their excuse to their followers about the obli-
gation of waiting for their acclaimed Mahdi?
Response: it is generally the custodianship of the Jurist! They lied against

Abu Jafaar that he said: (every banner raised before the emergence of the
establisher, its owner is an Idol being worshipped beside Allah)(2) Al-mazan-
darani said: (even if he is calling to the truth)(3)
They also created some signatures which will hand over to them some
responsibilities of their acclaimed Mahdi: (as for the occurring events return
to the narrators of our hadiths because they my proof upon you, and I am
the proof of Allah upon them)(4)
So, their scholars generally agreed that the custodianship of their Jurists
is peculiar to giving verdicts and the likes but as for the general custodian-
ship which includes establishing the state it is among the peculiarities of
the Absent till he emerges!
Their great imam Al-khumaini even became bored from the lengthy
wait because he knows that it is all falsehood so he said: (our Imam, the
Mahdi has been absent for a thousand years now, and thousands of years
may still pass…)(5)
He also said about himself and his colleagues among Shiite scholars
that: (they are the proof upon people just like the messenger of Allah was
the proof of Allah upon them… and whoever disobeys them Allah will
hold him accountable for that)(6)

(6) Ibid pg 84
223
He also said: (in any case, the Prophets have assigned to them(1) all what
was assigned to them and they have entrusted them with what they were
entrusted with)(2)
The Mortal Blow:

This is a dangerous testimony from their proof, Al-khumainee to the
corruption of the Shiite Mazhab from its foundation and that the consensus
of his group throughout the past centuries was misguided, and that their
creed in stating a specific Imam is invalid, something of which they declared
the companions as disbelievers because of it has been confirmed invalid by
history. Now they are forced to make an excuse with a new creed which is
the generality of the custodianship of the jurist after waiting a long period
and have given up on the emergence of the establisher, so they claimed
all his responsibilities. Al-khumainee claimed it for himself and some of
his colleagues among the Shiite jurists, he said: (despite the lack of a text
specifying who will represent the Imam during his absence, except that the
characteristics of a ruler is present in most of our jurists in this period)(3)
E nquiry 151: what is the reality concerning the affiliation of Shiite

scholars to the household of the Prophet?
Response: Al-kulainee narrated that the commander of the faithful,

Ali said: (O you who look like men but are not, dreamers like children, who
reason like women, I wish I had never seen or known you, knowing you has
brought regret and resulted in blames, may you be cursed! You have indeed
filled my heart pus, and loaded my breast with anger…)(4)
Al-husain said in his supplication against the Shiites: (O Allah if you
grant them life for a time cause division among them and put them divided
ways and do make the leaders to be pleased with them forever for they invited
us to help us then they turned away from us and killed us)(5)
He also said when he was stabbed: (By Allah I think Mu’awiya is better
for me than these people, they claim to be my helpers, they seek to kill me,
and they have taken my wealth. By Allah for me to make a treaty with Mu’aw-

iya which will safe my blood, and secure my family is better for me than for
these people to kill me and lose my family, by Allah if I fight Mu’awiya they
would have taken me by my neck till they hand me over to him safely)(1)
When Zainul Abiddin saw women of Kufa wailing and tearing their
clothes, and they were with some men crying, he said: (with a weak voice due
to illness: these people are crying over us, who else killed us if not them)(2).
Zainab bint Ali also said: (O people of Kufa, O people of deception and
betrayal are you crying over my brother? Okay by Allah cry because you
deserve to cry, so cry a lot and laugh a little indeed you have tried with the
shame of it, and killed by the disgrace…and you have returned with the
anger of Allah and you have been covered with humiliation and poverty)(3)
Al-baqir said: (if all people were part of our group, three quarter of them
will doubt us and the rest one quarter will be fools)(4)
He also said: (if I distinguish my group I can only find them in adjectives,
and I were to test them I can only find as apostates, and if I were to screen
them I won’t find one in one thousand, and if I were to sift them nothing
will remain of them, they have for long been reclining on couches saying
we are the group of Ali…)(5)
And when the leaders of the Shiites came to Abi Abdillah and said to
him: (we have been expelled in a manner that has broken our backs, killed
our hearts, and rulers have made our blood permissible because of a narration
narrated to them by their jurists, Abu Abdullah said to them: the rejecters?
They said: yes, he said: no by Allah they are not the ones who have afflicted
you but Allah did)(6)
Al-majlisi named a chapter in his book: (virtues of the rejecters and the
praise in being so named) and he mentioned four hadiths under it.(7)

The Mortal Blow:

(Narrated from Ali bin Yazid Ash-shamee that Abu Al-hasan said: Abu
Abdillah said: Allah has not revealed a verse concerning the hypocrites
except that it is in those who follow the creed of Shiism)(1)
E nquiry 152: Are members of the Prophet’s household free from

the insults of Shiite scholars?
Response: No. in fact Shiite scholars ruled that members of the Prophet’s
household all committed apostasy except Ali!!
Shiite scholars lied that Abu Jafaar said: (verily, when the life of the
messenger of Allah was taken all the people became people of Jahiliyya
except four: Ali, Al-miqdad, Salman, and Abu Dhar)(2)
They also lied that Ali hesitated before accepting Islam and that he
requested for time from the Prophet, and that he said to the Prophet: (this
religion contradicts the religion of my father, so I want to think about it)(3)
In some of their books Sufyan bin Laila called Al-hasan bin Ali as (one
who humiliated the believers)(4) because he relinquished the caliphate to
Mu’awiya bin Abi Sufyan.
Even (the troops of Al-hasan attacked him in the month of rabi’ Alwal
in his tent and took his belongings, and Ibn Bashir Al-asadee stabbed him
in his waist, then they returned him with injuries to Al-madaain)(5).
They also said about Jafaar bin Ali: (Jafaar is the one who announced
hypocrisy, dissolute, impudent, alcoholic, the lowest I have seen among men,
and most disgraceful)(6).
One of the most popular Shiite narrators of hadith, Zurara-may Allah
disgrace him- use to pass out gas on the beards of Abi Abdillah-may Allah
have mercy on him!!
Zurara said: (I asked Abu Abdillah about the tashahud? He said: I tes-
tify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone who has

I went out I said if I should meet him I will ask him tomorrow, so I asked
him the following day about the tashahud and he gave me the same answer,
I said: salutations and blessings? He said: salutations and blessings. I said:

and he gave me the same answer, I said: salutations and blessings? He said:
salutations and blessings, so when I came out I passed out gas in his beards
and said: he will never succeed)!!(1)
They also lied that: the saying of Allah: “how wretched the protector
and how wretched the associate.” (Q22:V13) was revealed concerning Abbass
the uncle of the prophet.(2)
The scholar, Al-kulainee ruled that Abdullah bin Abbass is a disbe-
liever.(3)
Shiite leaders also doubt the son of their Imam Ar-ridha whether he is
his son or not, and they accuse his wife of committing adultery, they were
not convinced until they sought the intervention of an expert in identify-
ing physical similarities between two people, it was after he ruled that they
believed their Imam.(4)
They also lied that: Fatima-may Allah be pleased with her detested her
marriage to Ali and said: (O messenger of Allah you married me to Ali while
he is a poor man who has no wealth)(5)
E nquiry 153: How many daughters does the prophet has according
to Shiite scholars?
Response: one of their elders, Abu Al-qasim Al-kufee said: (Ruqaya

and Zainab, wives of Uthman were not children of the Prophet, and that
Khadija wife of the messenger of Allah never gave birth, that people were
only confused about them because of their poor knowledge of lineages and
understanding of causes)(6)

One of their scholars said: (after thorough investigation of historical

texts we did not find any proof confirming that the prophet had any daughter
apart from Fatima. In fact, it is obvious that the remaining daughter were
children of Khadija from her previous husband before Muhammad)(1)
Their scholar, Al-majlisi said: (Ruqaya and Zainab were daughters of
Haala sister of Khadija)(2)
E nquiry 154: what is the creed of Shiite scholars concerning the clay?
Response: they believe that the Shiites were created from special
clay while the Sunis were created from another clay, and both clays were
mixed in a particular. Hence, whatever is in a Shiite of sins and criminal-
ity is a result of the influence of the Suni clay, and whatever is in a Suni of
prayers, fasting, righteousness and trust is a result of the influence of the
Shiite clay. So, on the Day of Judgment the sins of the Shiites will be placed
on the Sunis while the good deeds of the Sunis will be given to the Shiites.(3)
Al-Jazairee said: (our companions narrated these stories with many
chain of narrationsin the foundations and others. Hence, there is not room
for denying it or ruling that they are Ahad, in fact they have become Mut-
awatir)(4)
Commentary:
Like the Ibliss said: “I am better than him. You created me from fire and
created him from clay.” (Q38:V76)
This creed of theirs contradicts their creed in predestination as previ-
ously stated inn enquiry number (90)

E nquiry 155: what is their creed concerning the Ahluu sunnah and
those they call An-Nawasib and people generally?
Response: 1) they are considered Muslims in open but they unanimously

agree that they are dwellers of the Hell fire.
Al-majlisi said quoting some of his scholars: (because those who said
they are Muslims-ie the Ahlu sunnah-mean that most of Islamic rulings are
applicable to them in open because they are Muslims in that sense, that was
why they unanimously agree that they will enter hell fire…
It is also obvious from most narrations that: they have the ruling dis-
believers in this world but because Allah knew that unjust leaders and their
followers will seize power over the Shiites, and that they will be tried with
living with them and they will not be able to avoid them or avoid mixing
or inter-marriage with them, Allah made the ruling of Islam applicable to
them, so when the establisher emerges he willapply the ruling of the rest
disbelievers on them in all matters, and in the hereafter they will enter hell-
fire dwelling there forever with the unbelievers as pointed out by Al-mufid
and the second Shahid)(4)
Contradiction:
Their greatest imam, Al-khumainee said: (we consider Ibn Taymiya and
those who follow him as individuals who are out of the way of knowledge
and religion, and we renounce their religious and worldly rights)(5)
2) That they are unbelievers and impurities by consensus:
Their scholar said about a suni: (he is an impurity, and more evil than
a Jew, Christian, magi, and that he is a disbeliever, impure by consensus of

scholars of Imamiya may Allah be pleased with them)(1) Even, An-naraaqee

said: (more impure than dogs)(2)
Their scholar, As-sabzawaree said: (as for the Khawarij…there is a con-
sensus that they are disbelievers…despite that every Kharijite is a Nasib
also… as for the Nawasib they are impure based on the consensus narrated
supported by lack of difference of opinion)(3)
Al-khumainee said: (their impurity is supported by many issues which
include: many narrations pointing to their disbleive…)(4), he also said: (it is
not permissible for a believing woman to marry a Nasib… so also it is not
permissible for a believer to marry and Nasib woman and Galiya because
they both disbelievers even if they are claim Islam)(5)
Al-khuthee said: (we can proof the impurity of those who contradict us
from three perspectives, first: the many narrations which state that those
who contradict them are disbelievers…)(6)
He also said: (what is obvious is that a Nasib has the same ruling as an
unbeliever even if he proclaims the Shahadatain and believes in the here-
after)(7). He also said: (in fact there is ambiguity in their disbleive because
denying custodianship and imamate even if of one among them, and believ-
ing the caliphate of other than them renders one a disbeliever and this is
supported by many narrations on the disbelieve of one who denies custo-
dianship)(8)
3) It is not permissible to pray over them and their sacrifices are not
permissible:
Their greatest Imam, Al-khumainee said: (it is obligatory to pray over
every Muslim even if he contradicts the truth base of the most authentic
opinion, but it is not permissible to pray over a disbleiver of any kind even

one who commits apostasy, and also those who have been ruled to be dis-
believers among those who claim Islam like the Nawasib)(1)
He also said: (the sacrifice of all sects of Islam is permissible except the
Nawasib even if he proclaims Islam)(2)
One may say: why do we see some Shiites of the twelvers praying over the
dead among the Sunis in the Prophet’s Mosque and the Mosque of Kaaba?
And the answer is: so that they can supplicate against them.(3)
Their scholar, Ibn Babawai Al-Kumee said: (if the dead is among those
who contradict us say in the fourth takbeer: O Allah disgrace this your
servant son of your servant, O Allah take him to your fire, O Allah give
a taste of your severe punishment and put him in fire, and fill him with
fire tighten his grave because he was an enemy of your friends and friend
to your enemies, O Allah do not lighten his punishment and pour on him
much punishment. When his body is lifted say: O Allah do not raise and
purify him)(4)
He also said: (it is not permissible for anybody among people of faith(5)
to wash one who contradict the truth about the custodianship, nor to pray
over him except by necessity due to taqiya, hence he should wash him in
the manner of washing those who contradict us, and when he prays over
him he should curse him and should not supplicate for him in the prayer)(6)
4) That they are children of hellfire:
Their scholar fabricated a narration from Abi Jafaar-may Allah be
pleased with him- that he said: (by Allah O Abu Hamza: all people are
children of prostitutes except our Shiite members)(7)
(3) See: Furu’ Al-kafi vol 3, pg 122
(4) Fiqh Ridha, Ibn Babawai pg 178
(5) The meaning of people of faith according to Shiites scholars as their Muhadith, Yusuf
Al-bahranee said: (faith in the sense of knowing the Imam and testifying to it) Ashihaab
Athaaqib pg 97, he also said: (what the narrations point to as indicated previously is
that: faith does not apply to other than the Imamiyya, otherwise it will necessitate others
entering paradise, and no said so) Al-hadaaiq An-Nadhira vol 22, pg 204
(6) Al-muqnia, AL-mufeed, pg 85, Tahzeeb Al-ahkaam vol 1, pg 225, hadith 149
(7) Ar-raudha min Al-kafee vol 8, pg 2109, Biharul Anwaar vol 24, pg 311, hadith 17
231
Al-ayaashee also narrated: (from Jafaar bin Muhammad that he said:

no child is born except that an Ibliss is present with him, if Allah knows
that he is going to be among our Shiites then He veils him from that devil,
but if he is not going to be among us then the devil places his finger in his
posterior and hence he becomes a catamite.. if the child is female he places
his finger in her virginal and she becomes a prostitute)(1)
5) That they are monkeys and pigs(2)
6) It is obligatory to kill the Sunis:
They fabricated a narration from Ibn Farqad that he said: (I said to Abi
Abdillah: what do you say about killing of a Nasib? He said: his blood is
permissible, but I fear for you, so if you can fall a wall on him or drawn him
in water so that they won’t testify against you then do it)(3)
Their scholar, Yusuf Al-bahranee also said: (the obvious truth is that
thise who contradict us are disbelievers, polytheist and their wealth and
blood are permissible)(4)
He also said: (in this case, what these narrations indicate and what those
pious scholars clearly stated is that: if it is possible for one to kill anyone
among them or take over their property without causing harm to himself
or to anyone among his brothers then it is permissible for him to do so
between him and Allah)(5)
Even they made it obligatory to kill birds because according to Shiites
creed it loves Sunis!
Al-jazairee said: (it was narrated that birds love so and so person who
is a sunni hence, it should be killed by every means and eaten)(6)
7) It is obligatory to steal wealth of the Sunnis:
They fabricated a narration that says: (take the wealth of Nasib anywhere
you find it and give us one fifth of it)(7)
(1) Tafseer Al-ayashee vol 2, pg 234, hadith 73, Biharul Anwaar vol 4, pg 121, hadith 64

232
They also fabricated a narration that: (the wealth of a Nasib and every-
thing he possesses is permissible for you except his wife, because marrying
people of Shirk is permissible)(1)
It is obligatory to differ with them:
Their Saduuq fabricated a narration from Ali bin Asbaat that he said: (I
said to him ie Ar-ridha that something happened to me which I must know
about and there is no one in the town I live among your supporters who I
can ask? He said: go to the Jurist of the town if that is the case and ask him
about your issue, when he gives you a verdict take the opposite if it because
the truth lies in it)(2)
They also lied against As-Saadiq that he said: (when you see two con-
tradictory hadith present them before the book of Allah, whatever is in
agreement with the book of Allah take it and whatever contradict the book of
Allah leave it, and if you do find them in the book of Allah then present them
before the narrations of the commoners(3), whatever is in agreement with
their narrations leave it and whatever contradict their narrations take it)(4)
8) They unanimously agree that it is obligatory to curse the Sunnis and
that it is among the greatest acts of worship:
Their scholar Muhammad Hasan An-Nakha’ee: (in fact defaming them
publicly is among the most virtuous acts of worship so long as you are not
prevented by Taqiya, and even greater than that is backbiting them which
the Shiites are known for at all times and places, both their scholars and
commoners till they filled all books with it. Even they consider it among
the most virtuous acts of worship thus, it is not strange for them to claim
it is a consensus among them as one of them said: in fact it can said that it
is among the necessities)(5) and whoever denies a necessity is a disbeliever
as previously stated.
Why do Shiite scholars do this to the Sunnis?
Their scholar At-Tusee responded saying: (the reason is that one who
contradicts the people of truth is a disbeliever, hence he has to be given the

(5) Jawaahir Al-kalam, Muhammad An-Nakha’ee, vol 22, pg 62
233
same ruling as an unbeliever)(1) Their scholar Muhammad Hasan An-Na-

kha’ee also responded by saying: (in any case, the basis of this opinion is the
many texts confirming the disbelief of those who contradict us)(2)
E nquiry 156: is there a narration of the virtues of Mut’ah? And what

is the ruling on one who denies it according to their creed?
Response: they lied against the Prophet that he said: (whoever performs
Mut’ah with a believing woman, it is like he has visited the Kaaba seventy
times)(3)
They also lied against him that (when he was taken on the miraculous
journey to the heavens he said: (Jibril met me and said: O Muhammad verily
Allah said: I have indeed forgiven women who perform Mut’ah among your
Ummah)(4)
Their leader Fathillah Al-kashani also lied against the Prophet that he
said: (whoever performs Mut’ah once will have a rank like the rank of Husain,
and whoever performs Mut’ah twice will have a rank like the rank of Hasan,
and whoever performs it three time will have the rank of Ali bin Abi Talib,
and whoever performs it four times will have the similitude if my rank)(5)
They also believe that the faith of a believer is not complete until he per-
forms Mut’ah. They fabricated a narration that: (the believer is not comlete
until he performs Mut’ah)(6)
They also ruled on those who deny it as disbelievers (because the per-
missibility of Mut’ah is among the necessities in Shiite creed)(7) and also
because to them it is legislated by consensus of the Muslims(8), and whoever
denies a necessity to them is a disbeliever.

Contradiction:
They narrated from (Ali that he said:
The Prophet prohibited on the day of Khaibar meat of domestic donkeys
and Mut’ah marriage)(1)
Abu Abdillah was asked about Mut’ah and he said: (do not stain yourself
with it)(2)
The Mortal Blow:

They narrated (from Abu Abdullah concerning Mut’ah that he said:
only the dissolute performs it in our place)(3)
The Burner:
Allah only made permissible a wife and a slave, and He prohibited any-
thing other than that by saying: “And they who guard their private parts,
Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they
will not be blamed - But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the
transgressors” (Q23:V5-7).
E nquiry 157: is permissible to perform Mut’ah with a baby, adulterer,

a woman and her daughter?
Response: yes!! Their greatest Imam Al-khumaini said: (as for all other
forms of enjoyment: like touching with desire, hugging, lapping, etc there
is harm in it even with a baby)(4)
At-Tusee said: (permission to perform Mut’ah with a whore was narrated
except that he prevents her because of dissoluteness)(5)
Their greatest Imam Al-khumaini said concerning Mut’ah with an
adulterer: (it is permissible to perform Mut’ah with an adulterer but detested,
especially if she is famous with adultery and if he does he should prevent
her because of dissoluteness)(6)

235
And how of those who perform Mut’ah who used to combine between a
woman and her daughter, and between a woman and her sister, and between
a woman and her aunty (knowing or without knowing). Even one of their
big scholars did it where he performed Mut’ah with a woman who gave birth
to a daughter then, after some years he did Mut’ah with the girl.(1)
E nquiry 158: what is one fifth? And what is the creed of Shiite schol-
ars concerning it?
Response: the one fifth is a tax which Shiite scholars claimed for their
Imams and they released a narration saying: (the one fifth is an obligation
for us)(2).
Among the reasons for the invention of the one fifth:
Seduction of scholars and students of knowledge to follow the Shiite
school of thought. Abi Basir said: (I said to Abu Jafaar: what is the easiest
thing that can take a servant to hellfire? He said: whoever consumes the
wealth of an orphan, and we are the orphan)(3) in another narration he said:
(verily, in giving it lies your wealth)(4)
Commentary:
They narrated from (Dharees Al-Kanasee that he said: Abu Abdillah
said: do you know how fornication and adultery came unto people? I said:
I don’t know, he said: through our one fifth, we the people of the Prophet’s
household, except our Shiites the purified ones because it legitimize their
birth).(5)
Shiite scholars have confirmed in their authentic books that: their Imams
waived the one fifth for their members, but their scholars then restricted
that to the period of the absence, till their acclaimed Mahdi emerges from
his sacred hiding and he will never come out. They lied that: their Imam,
the absent Mahdi sent an urgent message from his Sardaab saying: (as for
(1) Sheikh Al-musawee said that in his book Kashful Asraar, pg 46
(2) Tafseer Al-‘ayashee vol 2, pg 68, hadith 65, Man la yahdhuruhu Al-faqih vol 2, pg 222,

(5) Usul Al-kafi vol 1, pg 418, Al-muqniah pg 280
236
the one fifth it is permissible for our Shiites, and they have exempted till
our emergence)(1)
Their scholar Yahya Alhuli said: (it is not permissible for anybody to
make any disposal in that except by the permission of the Imam in his
presence. As for during his absence: they have permitted their members to
dispose in their right out of the one fifth and in other matters like marriage,
trade, and accommodation. As-saadiq said: everything in hands of our
members on earth they have been given permission in it till the establisher
emerges)(2)
E nquiry 159: we would like you to summarize the development of

the one fifth among Shiite scholar merchants?
Response: first development: after the break in the chain of the

acclaimed imamate, and the absence of the acclaimed Mahdi: that the one
fifth is the right of the absent Imam alone, more than twenty thieves emerge
claiming to be the representative of the acclaimed hidden Imam in order to
collect the one fifth and deliver it to him in his sardaab!!(3)
Second development: they became envious of the thieves for their theft
and said it is obligatory to pay the one fifth but not to the representatives
rather, it should be paid and buried in the earth till the Imam comes out of
his sardaab and take it.(4)
Third development: they said it is obligatory to pay the one fifth but it
will not be buried rather, it will be kept with a trustworthy person and this
trustworthiness only lies in their jurist who will transmit it to the absent
Mahdi.(5)
Fourth development: that it is obligatory to pay the one fifth to Shiite
Jurist not for them to keep it but for them to distribute it to those they see
as deserving it among the poor members the Prophet’s household.(6) Fifth

development: that it is permissible for the Jurists to spend the one fifth in
the manner the see befitting like publishing their books, and that the Jurist
should start by taking his own large share!(1) Especially considering the fact
that all Shiite jurist claim that they are members of the Prophet’s household!!!
When some of their members tarried in paying the money, they released
a narration saying: (whoever refuses a dirham or less from it will fall under
the unjust to them, usurper of their right, even, whoever sees that as per-
missible has disblieved)(2)
There was great competition between Shiite scholars over how to gather
large portion of the one fifth. Hence, there were many open invitations to
big discounts for those who pay regularly!! And there was great business
competition among their scholars!! So, you see a Shiite scholar giving fifty
percent discount and another gives more and so on.(3)
The last development on the issue of the one fifth in recent years is that:
they released a verdict that whoever wants to perform hajj or umrah should
value all his properties and pay one fifth of it to jurists of his group, and if
he does not his hajj and umrah are invalid!!(4)
The Mortal Blow:

(Narrated from Abdullah bin Sanan, he said: I heard Abu Abdillah
saying: there is no one fifth except in spoils specifically)(5)
Finally on the creed of Shiite scholars concerning the one fifth tax:
They took this creed from Christian scholars in middle centuries of
European history when they imposed royalties and tithes!
One of the Christian scholars, Wills said: (the Church imposed the tithe
on its followers and it did not claim it to be an act of kindness and good but
as a right)(6)

(6) Ma’alim Tarikh Al-insaniya vol 3, pg 795
238
Response: they fabricated a narration from Abi Abdillah that he said:

(every banner raised before the emergence of the establisher, its owner is
an idol)(1)
They also released a narration concerning one who goes to seek redress
in the court of Sunnis and their rulers: (who ever goes to seek redress from
them rightfully or wrongly has gone to seek redress from Idol, and whatever
is given to him is unlawful even if it is his right; because it was through the
judgment of an Idol)(2)
Their greatest Imam said in his commentary on this hadith: (indeed
the Imam has generally prohibited going to unjust rulers in issues of rights
and requitals, and this means that whoever goes to them has gone to an Idol
whereas Allah has commanded people to disbelieve in them)(3)
Shiite scholars also give verdicts that: it is not permissible to work with
Sunni governments except on the condition of plotting against them and
their people and benefiting the Shiites otherwise one has fallen into the
equivalence of disbelieve in the Allah!!
They fabricated a narration saying: (narrated from Sulaiman Al-jafaari,
he said: I said to Abi Al-hasan Ar-ridha: what do you say about working for
governments he said: O Sulaiman: working for them, helping them, and
fulfilling their needs is equivalent to disbelieve, and looking at them delib-
erately is among the major sins which deserves punishment in hellfire)(4)
Their Imam, Al-khumainee said: (if circumstances of Taqiya warrants
anyone among us to join the convoy of rulers, one should abstain from that
even if that will lead to killing him, except if his joining them nominally
will bring about real victory to Islam and Muslims like it happened in the
case of Ali bin Yaqteen, and Naseerudeen At-TUsee, may Allah have mercy
in them)(5)
E nquiry 161: is it permissible for anyone among Shiites to pledge

allegiance to anyone among Muslim rulers before the emergence
of their acclaimed establisher?

(4) Tafseer Al-ayashee vol 1, pg 264, hadith 110, Wasaail Sheeah vol 12, pg 138, hadith 12
239
Response: the texts which their scholars narrate from their Imams calls
on all Shiites since about ten centuries ago not to pledge allegiance to ruler
among the rulers of the Muslims except by Taqiya, and it is obligatory on
them to renew their pledge of allegiance to the establisher every morning.
Among the supplications of their scholars: the covenant prayer and in it:
(O Allah I renew in this morning and in all the days I lived a covenant, agree-
ment and pledge to him on my neck, I will not deviate from it forever…)(1)
The reason for this:
What their contemporary scholar, Muhammad Jawad Mugniya said:
(the principle of Shiism cannot be separated from opposing a ruler if he
does not fulfill the conditions which are: text, wisdom, preference…based
on this they used to represent the opposition party in religion and faith)(2)
E nquiry 162: when is it permissible for a Shiite to work with Muslim

rulers?
Response: Al-kumainee said: (it is natural for Islam to permit going into
the system of the oppressors if the real aim of that is to stop their injustice,
or to overthrow those in charge of the affairs. In fact that can be obligatory
and there is difference of opinion on this among us).(3) He also said: (if cir-
cumstances of Taqiya warrants anyone among us to join the convoy of rulers,
one should abstain from that even if that will lead to killing him, except if his
joining them nominally will bring about real victory to Islam and Muslims
like it happened in the case of Ali bin Yaqteen, and Naseerudeen At-TUsee,
may Allah have mercy in them).(4)
Their contemporary scholar, Abdulhadi Al-fadli said: (verily, the pre-
liminary step for the emergence of awaited Imam will be political through
creation of political awareness, and organizing violent protest).(5)

quest which the Shiites claim to have achieved in history and in
their authentic books?

Response: they did not conquer even a palm size from the land of the
unbelievers, in fact they handed over what they can of the land of Muslims
and their women and wealth to unbelievers of all religions, and history is
a witness to that:
Narrations from some Shiites scholars about some of the things Abu
Tahir Al-qarmatee did with the sacred house of Allah, the holy kaaba, and
pilgrims in the year 317.
The pilgrims arrived the sacred house of Allah in Makkah safely, and
they came from different corners of the world but before they could realize
anything Abu Tahir Al-qarmatee had attacked them on the Day of Tarwiya
(8th day of Zul-hijja ), stolen their monies and made killing them permissi-
ble. Hence, he killed a lot of pilgrims in Makkah and in the sacred mosque,
and he sat on the door of kaaba while pilgrims were been killed and he was
saying: “I am for Allah and with Allah, I create creation and I exterminate
them” then, he instructed that those killed be buried in the well of Zamzam.
Many of those killed were buried in the placed they killed in haram,
and he destroyed the zamzam dome, and he instructed that the kaaba be
removed, and its clothes removed and torn among his companions. He also
asked a man to climb to the drain of the Kaaba and remove it but the man
fell on his head and died. Then he ordered instructed that the black stone
be removed so one of his soldiers came and hit the stone with a heavy tool
in his hands saying: where are the birds in flocks, where are the stones of
hard day? Then he removed the black stone and they took it with them, and
it remained with them for twenty two years, and there was no hajj that year
because people were prevented from standing in the Arafat ground.(1)
Ibn Al-‘alqamee who was a minister during the Abbassid caliph, Al-mus-
ta’sim also did similar thing and likewise Naseerudin At-Tusee. Both of
them tried to destroy the Islamic soldiers by expelling many of the Islamic
soldiers from Bagdad till its strength was ten thousand army. They also
sent messages to the tartars and incited them to take over Bagdad and they
exposed the weakness of the town to them and its secretes, and the tartar
army came Ibn Al-alqamee prevented the Muslims and their caliph from
fighting them claiming that the Tartars came for a peace treaty, and he
convinced the caliph to go out to them with his closest aids for the treaty
while Ibn Al-alqamee and his brother At-Tusee told the Tartars not agree to
any treaty with the Muslims rather they should the caliph and those with
him. Hence, the caliph and those with him were all killed then they came
into Bagdad and killed all they could including men, women and children,
and nobody was speared except the Dhimmis among Jews and Christians!!
Thus, they killed almost a million Muslims in Bagdad and there was butchery
witnessed in Islam like that of the Tartars, and they killed the Hashimis and
(1) See: Al-masaail Al-abkariya, Al-mufid, pg 84-102
241
they captured women of the Abbassid and other women as well…(1), and
after all these we see Shiite scholars honoring their scholar Ibn Al-alqamee
and his colleague At-Tusee and they consider what they have done to the
Muslims as part of their great virtues.
Al-majlisi described his teacher, Naseerudin At-Tusee saying: (the great-
est scholar Naseerudin Muhammad bin Al-hasan At-Tusee-may his soul be
sanctified- was a minister to Sultan hulako)(2)
Al-khumainee also said: (people felt the loss of Mr. Naseerudin At-Tusee
and his likes who did great service to Islam)(3)
These great service were exposed by his teacher, Al-khawansaree in
his biography of him saying: (among the things he is famous for, he was a
minister for Sultan Al-muhtashim in Iran, hulako Khan bin Genghis Khan
who was among the great leaders of Tartar and Turkish Mongol, and also
his coming among the convoy of Sultan Muayid with full preparation to
the land of peace in Bagdad to guild people, uplift the society, put an end to
the chain of transgression and corruption, by destroying the reign of Bani
Abbass, and killing all their followers to the extent that their blood flowed
like rivers and so they will flow to hellfire, house of destruction and the place
for the wretched and evil)(4)
Another of their scholar, Ali bin Yaqtin, a minister of Caliph Ar-rashid
killed in one night five hundred Muslims. Al-Jazairee said: (it is reported in
the narrations that Ali bin Yaqtin who was a minister of Ar-rashid impris-
oned a group of those who contradicted him, and they were among the
prominent group, so he instructed his boys to pull down the roof of the
prison on the prisoners, so they all died and they were about five hundred
(1) See: Mukhtasar Akhbaar Al—khulafa, Ibn As-Sa’ee, pg 126-127, A’yaan Sheeah vol 13,
pg 287-306. And just like yesterday more than one hundred thousand Muslims in Syria
were killed and thousands of Muslim women were molested, thousands of childred were
also killed in the hands of the Nusairiya with the help of Shiites inn in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon,
Yemen and others with help from some countries of Arabs, Christians and Jews. Allah has
said the truth: “Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet
come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty
and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with
him said, “When is the help of Allah?” Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.”

men)(1)One of their imam also said: (when the great Sultan, Shah Abbass
conquered Bagdad he instructed that the grave of Abu Hanifa be put in a
toilet, he also placed two mules on endowment and he instructed that they
be tied at the head of the market so that whoever wants to ease himself will
ride on them to the grave of Abu Hanifa. He also called on the custodian
of the grave one day and said to him: what are you gurding in this grave
when Abu Hanifa is in the pit of hellfire? So he said: in this grave is a black
dog buried by your grandfather Shah Ismail when he conquered Bagdad, he
removed the bones of Abu Hanifa and buried a black dog so I am gurding
that dog). Al-Jazairee commented after that by saying: and he was right in
what he said because Shah Ismail did that)(2)
E nquiry 164: finally, do Shiite scholars agree with us the Sunnis on

one Lord, one prophet, and one Imam?
Response: their Imam, Ni’matullah Al-Jazairee responded by saying:

(we do not agree with them(3) on a deity, or prophet, or Imam because they
say that: their lord was the one who Muhammad was His prophet, and his
successor after him was Abubakar, while we do not believe in this lord or
that prophet rather, we say: the lord who the successor of His prophet was
Abubakar is not our lord and neither is that prophet our prophet)(4)
Also their greatest Imam, Al-khumainee responded by saying: (we do
not worship a deity who erects a high building for worship, justice, and
devoutness then, pull it down by himself, and will sit Yazid, Mu’awiya,
Uthman and other insolents on the throne of leadership over people, and
does not determine the fate of the ummah after the death of its prophet)(5)
Commentary:
Should one with an atom weight of faith and sense hesitate in ruling
that the path of the Shiites, the twelvers is misguided and deviated from the
religion of Islam after all these explanations?.

Conclusion
Conclusion
M
y brother in Islam: after this short journey in knowing the
creed of the Imamate Shiites and twelvers, know that there is no
meeting between us and the sects who contradict the book and
sunnah except based on the principles of the Shariah as prescribed in the
verse: “Say, “O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable
between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate
anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah.” But
if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to
Him].”” (Q3:V64)and this is about unifying Allah, not associating partners
with Him, obedience to Him in law and legislation, and following the seal
of the Prophets and messengers.
Thus, it is obligatory for this verse to be: the slogan of argument, and
every effort exerted to achieve other than this principle is null and void.(1)
Verily, Shiites scholars today are claiming that there is no difference between
them and the Muslims and they are inviting Muslims to return to their
books!
How can the Muslims trust Shiite books which are filled with defamation
against the book of Allah that it is incomplete and altered, and how will the
Muslims agree with the Shiites on the book of Allah based on their skewed
and covert interpretations, and how will the Muslims believe in their claims
that divine books have been revealed to their Imams after the Quran.
How will the Muslims agree with the Shiites on the Sunnah: while they
claim that the statements of the twelve Imams are like the words of Allah and
His messenger, and that the Messenger of Allah has hidden some part of the
Shariah and kept it with their Imams? The Shiites also believe in stories of
the patch, and they build their religion on it, and they accept false narrations,
and they defame the best of creation after the Prophets-peace be upon them.
How will the Muslims agree with the Shiites: while they accuse the
mothers of the believers: Aisha and Hafsa-may Allah be pleased with them-
wives of the Prophet of committing adultery.
How will the Muslims agree with the Shiites: while they reject the con-
sensus of the Muslims and they deliberately contradict the Muslims because
according to them there is guidance in contradicting the Muslims.
(1) See: Al-ibtaal linazariyat Al-khalt baina deen Al-islam wa gairihi lk Al-adyaan, Bukar
bin Abdullah Abu zaid, pg 29
244
How will the Muslims agree with the Shiites: while they declare all
Muslims as disbelievers including the companions and the wives of the
Prophets.(1)
How will the Muslims agree with the Shiites while they say: (we do not
agree with them(2) on a deity, or prophet, or Imam because they say that:
their lord was the one who Muhammad was His prophet, and his successor
after him was Abubakar, while we do not believe in this lord or that prophet
rather, we say: the lord who the successor of His prophet was Abubakar is
not our lord and neither is that prophet our prophet)(3)
The Sunnis today are exposed to increased onslaught on their religion
from their enemies and those who affiliate themselves with Islam but have
disease in their heart in other to reach a great innovation (which is bridging
the gap between sunnah and shia). This innovation which tends to give what
is misguidance legitimate description has caused a great loss to the Ahlu
Sunnah, and a great harm which can only be imagined by one who has seen
the number of tribes that have turned in Shiites talk less of individauls to
the extent that Iraq for example has been turned from being mostly Sunnis
to most Shiites. (Whoever reads to book “Unwaan Al-majd” of Haidaree
Al-iraqee(4)where he mentioned the Arab tribes that became Shiites including
Ka’b, ‘Imaarah, Bani Laam, Al-Khaza’al and others… whoever reads would
feel sorry for the Ahlu Sunnah for loosing those tribes to Shiites and for the
negligence of the scholars in fortifying the tribes against the trap Shiites.
Iraq did not turn from being mostly sunnis to being mostly Shiites except

Rabeeat An-nazila in the Eastern part of Bagdad they became Shiite together with their
emirate since seventy years ago, likewise Banu Tamim who became Shiite in the sides
of Iraq since sixty years ago as a result of frequent influx of Shiites into them, likewise
Al-Khaza’al who became Shiite since a hundred and fifty years ago, likewise the clan of
Zubaid who are many tribes, they became Shiite since sixty years ago because of the influx
of Shiite in them, likewise Banu ‘Ameer and many others…) Unwaanul Majd pg 113-118,
published by Daarul Hikma, 1419AH. It will be observed that he wrote this book in the
year 1286, and historian link this phenomenon to: propagation of the Shiite, ignorance
and poverty among the masses, and negligence of sunni scholars in confronting them.
245
Conclusion
for this reason and likewise towns behind the river, Khurasan, Iran, and
other non-Aran towns.
In our present time, Shiite propagators have increased their activities
after the Iranian revolution in Africa where there is ignorance and poverty
hence, a lot of groups and individuals have become Shiites)(1)
Shiite scholars are planning to spread their creed using every means
especially under the slogan of bridging the gap between sects. After Iraq they
started going into all countries of the world, and they bought territories and
deceived weak minds and faith, deluded people are negligent and ignorant,
and have turned them into horns for Shiite propaganda.
As a result of the call to bridging the gap between sects many scholars
have become silent on explaining the falsehood of this call clarifying the
truth. Likewise, in the name of this call many Shiite books and channels
have been established in Sunni countries. So also Shiite scholars and others
now move freely in Sunni countries spreading the books. They are usually
welcomed by the dissolute and ignorant, and media owners among news-
papers, channels, and clubs in Sunni towns to give lectures and speeches to
spread their falsehood.
So, will those who have fallen into the trial of bridging the gap between
sects awake for they have a very big and dangerous responsibility. Do they
not read Shiite books on creed and Hadith, do they not read history books,
do they not read the book of Allah, the Sunnah of His messenger, do they
not study Tauheed… if they are sincere they will abandon this innovation
immediately, and if the opposite is the case what an evil their soul have
presented to them.
The following is a summary of the dangerous objectives the call to

bridging the gap between sects:
1) That this call aims at spreading Shiite creed and catching the Muslims
in the trap of Batiniya and then apostasy.
2) To make sunni scholars negligent so as to use their verdicts, partic-
ipation, and studies as a means of spreading Shiite creed and proof in the
eyes of ignorant Muslims. Hence, sunni scholars and their followers will be
the victim of Shiite Taqiya and deception.
3) Protection of the Shiites from the encroachment of sunnis.
4) Covering up attacks of Shiites in the sunnis.(2)
Thus, the call to bridging the gap between sects is a plot whose aim is
to set a trap from the Ummah to become Shiite. For this we say confidently
that this call after exposing its reality is not an appropriate means of unit-
(1) At-Tabsheer Bi Tashayu’, Bukar bin Abdullah Abu Zaid, pg 28-30
(2) Ibid pg 41-42
246
ing the Ummah rather, it is a call to Shiism built on evil plots to bridge the
gap between truth and falsehood so that when this dangerous plot is able
to defeat sunnis it will start to kindle trials, and deepening the root of dis-
cord, then the hidden foundation of Shiism will be brought out. Hence, this
call is prohibited likewise supporting it is prohibited, and it is obligatory
on scholars to expose it after discovering its reality, falsehood and wrong
foundation, and stop its ideology from spreading to the Muslims. It is also
obligatory on the authorities of all Muslim countries allow them and their
propagators in their land, they should stand for Islam alone and its light and
avoid anything contrary to it, and to strive to return Muslims to the Sunnah
of the Prophet, and to pity them for the punishment of division, Allah will
take care of the righteous among His servants)(1)
The head of the permanent committee for Islamic verdict, Sheikh
Abdulaziz bin Baz, Sheikh Abdurrazaq Afifee, Sheikh Abdullah bin Qu’ud
and Sheikh Abdullah Al-gudayan-may Allah have mercy on them- said:
(verily the Duruz, Nusairiya, Ismailiya, and those who follow their path like
the Babiyya and the Bahaiya have played with religious textx, and they have
legislated for themselves what Allah has not permitted them, and they have
followed the path of the Jews and the Christians in altering and changing
them according to their whims and caprices, and in imitation to the leader
of the first trial, Abdullah bin Saba Al-himyaree, head of innovation, mis-
guidance and discord between the Muslims. Indeed, his evil and calamity
has touched every part, and many groups have been tried by him, so they
disbelieved after accepting Islam, and because of him there is discord among
the Muslims.
Hence, the call to bridging the gap between these sects and the true
Muslims not beneficial, and the strive to establish a meeting between them
and the true Muslims is a failure because their hearts are like that of the
Jews and Christians in terms of deviation from the truth, disbelieve, mis-
guidance and hatred for the Muslims and plotting against them even though
they differ in their intent and purpose, so their relation to the Muslims is
like that of the Jews and Christians to the Muslims.(2) And for some reasons
some scholars from Azhar in Egypt together with Al-qumee in Iran tried
after the Second World War to work for the acclaimed bridge of gap between
Muslims, and a few big truthful scholars with purified heart were deceived,
and they released a journal which they called At-Taqreeb but the reality of

Shiites, Ihave never seen in them enmity to Israel for a long time even in Duruz) memoirs

247
Conclusion
their affair was quickly exposed to those deceived by them(1), so they failed
and that is not surprising because their hearts are different, their thoughts
are conflicting, and their creed are opposites hence, it’s impossible for two
opposite to unite)(2)
Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Baz was asked: based on your knowledge of his-
tory of the Shiites, what is your stand on the principle of bridging the gap
between them and Ahlu-Sunnah?
Answer: bridging the gap between Ahlu-Sunnah and the Shiites is not
possible because the creeds are different. the creed of Ahlu-Sunnah is based
on unifying Allah, sincerity of worship, and that none should called beside
Allah whether a close angel or Prophet, and that only Allah has knowledge of
the unseen. Among the creed of Ahlu-Sunnah is to love all the companions
of the Prophet and believing that they are the best creation of Allah after
the Prophets, and that the best of them is Abubakar As-Sideeq, then Umar,
then Uthman, then Ali, may Allah be pleased with all of them. However,
the Shiites oppose that, so it is not possible to combine them just like it
is not possible to combine the Jews, Christian, Idol worshippers and the
Ahlu-Sunnah because of the different creed as clarified.
Q8: Is it possible to relate with them in order to hit an outside enemy
like the communist and others?
ANS8: I don’t think so rather, it is obligatory on the Ahlu-Sunnah to
unite and be one ummah and one body, and to invite the Shiites to abide by
what the book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet point to of truth, if
they abide by that they become our brothers and we have to cooperate with
them, but as long as they insist on their creed of hatred and insults for the
companions except a few, and insulting As-Sideeq, Umar and all members
of the Prophet’s household like Ali, Fatima, Al-husain, and Al-hasan, and
their believe that the twelve Imams are infallible and that they have knowl-
edge of the unseen, all these are falsehood and contradictory to the creed
of Ahlu-Sunnah.)(3)
(1) One of the latest people to clearly state that the call to bridging the gap between
sects was a deception was the head of the international union of Muslim scholars, Yusuf
Al-qardawee who said: (I spent many years inviting to bridging the gap between sects,
and I travelled to Iran during the time of former president Muhammad Khatamee, they
laughed at me and many others like me, and they were saying they want to bridge the gap
between sects) middle east newspaper number 12605 on 23/7/1434.

Alfauzan and Sheikh Abdulazeez Ar-rajhi both commented on it.

However, it is obligatory on scholars and student of knowledge to spread

the creed of the pious predecessors, explain its authenticity and distinguish it
from the creed of people of innovation, and to also expose the plot to spread
Shiism, and explain its deviations, misguidance and corrupt foundation.
The Muslim Ummah will never unite in misguidance and there will
continue to be among it a group upholding the truth till the Day of Judg-
ment among people of knowledge and Quran, and guidance protecting the
religion of Allah from the distortion of extremist, impersonation of liars,
wrong interpretation of the ignorant. Therefore, it is obligatory on us and all
Muslims to educate, explain, advice, guide, and block the religion of Islam
from attacks, and one who cautions has given glad tidings)(1)
(Whoever Allah wishes success He makes him learn from what happen
to others, hence, he will follow the path of one supported and helped by Allah,
and he will avoid the path of one left and humiliated by Allah)(2)
(O Allah we seek refuge with you from abandoning our religion or
being tried in it)(3)
It was narrated from Abi A’mir Abdullah bin Luhai, he said: (we made
Hajj with Mu’awiya bin Abi Sufyan-may Allah be pleased with them, when
we came to Makkah he stood up after praying salat zuhr and said: verily the
Messenger of Allah said: “the people of the two books are divided in their
religion into seventy two sect, and verily this Ummah will be divided into
seventy three sects, all of them are in hellfire except one which is the Jamaa,
verily a there will emerge among my Ummah people who will be dominated
by desires like rabies which penetrates its patient. There remains no vein
and no joint but it penetrates it”. I swear by Allah O you Arabs: if you do
not fulfill what your Prophet brought then others won’t)(4)
Abu Saeed Al-khudree-may Allah be pleased with him, said: (verily the
Prophet stood up to address people and part of what he said was: the fear
of people should not prevent any man from saying the truth whenever he
knows it). So Abu Saeed cried and said: indeed we have seen so many things
but we feared.(5)

Conclusion
The Prophet-peace be upon him- also said: (never will a people come up
with an innovation except that Allah take away a Sunnah of its equivalent)(1)
The Prophet also said: (keep to my Sunnah and to the Sunnah of the
Khulafa ar-Rashideen (the rightly guided caliphs), those who guide to the
right way. Cling to it stubbornly [literally: with your molar teeth]. Beware of
newly invented matters [in the religion], for verily every bidah (innovation)
is misguidance.)(2)
Ibn Taimiya said that: (warning the Ummah against innovation and
those preaching it is obligatory based on consensus of the scholars)(3)
My brother: (if you ask after blocking this deceptive door, what is the
way to achieving unity among the Muslim Ummah and strengthening the
bond of brotherhood among them? Here is an explanation of that according
to the method of Islam and its guidance:
First: increasing efforts in spreading Islam, both its creed and prac-
tices, and planting it in the minds of people. This can be achieved with
the Ahu-Sunnah rising up to inviting people to Allah with knowledge and
wisdom: “Say, “This is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who
follow me. And exalted is Allah; and I am not of those who associate others
with Him.” (Q12:V108), this is in actualization of Tauheed, and planting its
implications in the minds of people. Thus, it is the starting point and the key
to bridging gap between sect and unity, nothing else. So, it is the beginning
and end, based on the method of the Prophet, in creed, word and action.
From this point, we can achieve unity of Allah’s worship, unity of follower-
ship, erase idolatry, innovations, ignorance of judging with other than what
Allah has revealed, erase the darkness of ignorance and replace it with the
light of Islamic knowledge inherited from the Prophet and let the preoccu-
pation of the Ummah be “origin of the religion and the Prophetic caliphate”:
enjoining what is good the greatest of which is Tauheed, forbidding what
is bad of which the most despicable of it is associating partners with Allah.
Secondly: Islamic preachers should increase their effort in calling to
Allah based on knowledge and wisdom. This is in actualization of the saying
of Allah: “Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it,
and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you
describe”. {Q21:V18}, and salvaging the Ummah from all acts of innovation
and misguidance by exposing it. This will require taking account of areas
of weakness in the Ummah in order to uplift it to an Islamic life clean from
filths and misguidance.
(1) Reported by Ahmad hadith no 17970
(2) Reported by Ahmad hadith 17145, Ibn Majaah hadith 422, Abu Dawud hadith 4607
(3) Majmoo fatawa vol28, pg 231
250
Among the most important things to do in this regard is: rising up

to confront distorted calls by explaining their distortions and deviation.
Among the things to do also is: explaining the basis of the Shiite creed and
how their origin is foreign to Islam and hence, led them to deviating from
the straight path. This is to be done with justice and fairness, and supported
with references from their sources and books which they have continued
to print and spread among people, shedding crocodile tears for Islam while
they are bent on Misguiding people.
And also to explain the position of Muslim scholars over the centuries
about them so that their creed and secretes will be exposed to everyone so
as to put an end to it and have them return to the path of Allah and His
messenger, to the Quran and Sunnah, to the Muslim Ummah and protect
the Ummah from deviating from the straight path.
Thirdly: striving to ensure that the system of this path is maintained
which is calling to the unity of the Muslims under the umbrella of the Quran
and Sunnah, and Islam with its purity and light, free from all ignorant and
misguided ideologies linked to it.
This is the reality of the injunction to hold fast to the rope of Allah as
contained in the verse: “And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together
and do not become divided” {Q3:V103}
And the basis of cooperation as Allah said: “And cooperate in righ-
teousness and piety” {Q5:V2}
And the returning point during disagreement as Allah said: “And if
you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger” {Q4:V59}
Hence: we should strengthen the bond of brotherhood between Mus-
lims in a comprehensive unity which will bring together all that has been
scattered based on unity of creed which is the starting point in Islam “the
Quran and Sunnah”, based on the principle of the religion and the strongest
rope of faith “love and hate for the sake of Allah” love for the Sunnah and
its adherents and hate for innovations and their sponsors.
Therefore: every sect which affiliates itself to Islam claiming to be inter-
ested in the unity of the Muslims while it is holding to an innovative and
misguided foundation, calling to it and contradicts Islam then accepting their
claim is tantamount to nullifying Islam, shaking its creed, and destroying its
principle “love and hate for the sake of Allah” by putting love in place of hate.
Take the Shiites for example: how can we bridge the gap between us
and them when they insist on things that invalidate Islam, spreading it and
inviting to it alongside their call to bridging the gap between sects. Indeed,
it is a plot against Islam under the guise of bridging the gap between them
and the Ahlu-Sunnah, so be careful.
Wake up-O servant of Allah- in conclusion:
Do not engage a Shiite in dialogue on any topic until you have both
agreed on a solid foundation to refer to when there is disagreement “the
Quran and Sunnah”, and he should give you a written attestation to that

Conclusion
effect, denouncing their sources which contradict the Quran and Sunnah,
and he should publish that in his country, and announce it among his family
and scholars, otherwise he will drag you in mirage that will lead you to the
mud of Shiism using Taqiya under the guise of bridging gap between sects.
O Allah the message has been passed on and on You we put our trust,
there is no might or strength except by Allah, the Most Venerated, the Most
Wise.)(1)
I will end my book with the hadith of Huzaifa bin Al-yaman-may Allah
be pleased with him-he said: “The people used to ask Allah’s Messenger
(peace be upon him) about good, but I used to ask him about evil for fear
that it might overtake me. Once I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon
him)! We were in ignorance and in evil and Allah has bestowed upon us the
present good; will there by any evil after this good?” He said, “Yes.” I asked,
“Will there be good after that evil?” He said, “Yes, but it would be tainted
with Dakhan (i.e. Little evil).” I asked, “What will its Dakhan be?” He said,
“There will be some people who will lead (people) according to principles
other than my tradition. You will see their actions and disapprove of them.”
I said, “Will there by any evil after that good?” He said, “Yes, there will be
some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts
their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them).” I said, “O Allah’s Mes-
senger (peace be upon him)! Describe those people to us.” He said, “They
will belong to us and speak our language” I asked, “What do you order me
to do if such a thing should take place in my life?” He said, “Adhere to the
group of Muslims and their Chief.” I asked, “If there is neither a group (of
Muslims) nor a chief (what shall I do)?” He said, “Keep away from all those
different sects, even if you had to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, till you meet
Allah while you are still in that state.”(2)
(Abu A’liya said: learn Islam, when you have learned it do not abandon
it, and you should stick to the straight path because that is Islam, do not
deviate from the path right or left, and you should hold fast to the Sunnah
of the Prophet, and beware of these vain desires)
Ponder over these words of Abu A’liya, how great are they! Think about
the time he lived and in which he is cautioning people against vain desires
which whoever follows those desires has abandoned Islam, and see how he
interpreted Islam to mean following the Sunnah, and his fears for the Tabi’un
and their scholars from leaving the Sunnah and the Quran!!
With this the meaning of the saying of Allah: “When his Lord said to
him, “Submit”” and His saying: “And Abraham instructed his sons [to do
the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], “O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen
(1) At-Tabsheer bi rifdh, pg 93-100
(2) Reported by Bukhari no. 3411, Muslim no. 1847
252
for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims.” And His
saying: “And who would be averse to the religion of Abraham except one who
makes a fool of himself.” and similar verses which are the solid foundation
of Islam will become clear but people are negligent about them. This also
makes the hadiths in this regard clear.
As for one who reads these verses and its likes and feels secured believing
that they do not affect him, and thinks they are about some people of old
generation: “Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah? But no one
feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.”(1)
O Allah I have explained this matter and advised every Muslim who
respects himself, believes in Allah as his lord, takes Islam as his religion and
Muhammad as his prophet and messenger and thus submits to the truth
so bear witness.
I ask Allah to guide misguided ones among the Muslims, take away
our sufferings, protect us from the plot of the evil plotters, and to make
us firm on Islam till meet Him, and to grant us sincerity and rightness in
words and action, and to better my intentions, progeny and grant me good
end, and to protect me from all evils, and forgive me, my parents, progeny,
wife, scholars, and all Muslims both living and dead, and protect us from
the evil ones among His creation, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
Praise be to Allah lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon
Muhammad, his household and all his companions.
