Fundamental Principles Of Shia Religion Peace and blessings be to Prophet Muhammad whenever his name is mentioned.
ACCORDING TO SHIA RELIGION THERE ARE FIVE PRINCIPLES OF DEAN AS STATED IN THEIR FAMOUS BOOK (TOHFATUL AWWAM) . THESE ARE "TAWHEED AD'L (JUSTICE), NUBUWAAH (PROPHETHOOD) IMAMATE AND QIYAMAH (DOOMSDAY). 1. TAWHEED STANDS FOR THE UNITY OF GOD (ALLAH). (HOWEVER, SHIA DOCTRINES LIKE BADA AND IMAMATE NEGATA TAWHAAD). 2. AD'L i.e. ALLAH IS JUST (ADIL). IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AGAINST THE JUSTICE OF GOD IF AFTER THE CESSATION OF PROPHETHOOD BY MUHAMMAD , THE IMAMS WERE NOT APPOINTED BY ALLAH ONE AFTER THE OTHER IN SUCH A WAY AS PREVIOUS PROPHETS WERE GIVEN THEIR DEPUTIES. 3. NUBUWWAH i.e. MUHAMMAD , IS THE NABI (PROPHET)OF ALLAH. ALTHOUGH SHIAS ACKNOWLEDGE PROPHET MUHAMMAD AS THE LAST OF PROPHETS BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR BELIEF IN IMAMATE WHICH IS CONSIDERED HIGHER THAN PROHETHOOD AND THAT THE IMAMS CAN ALTER THE SHARI'AH, THE CONCEPT OF NUBUWWAH BECOMES MEANINGLESS . AS THE ISSUE OF FINALITY OF THE PROPHETHOOD IS THE CENTERAL CORE OF ISLAM TO WHICH SHIAS ALSO SUBSCRIBE OUTWARDLY, ANYONE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN IT OR UNDERMINES ITS IMPORTANCE BY VARIUOS INTERPRETATION IS THROWN OUTSIDE THE PALE OF ISLAM. THE DIVINE INSTITUTION OF NUBUWWAH AND IMAMATE OF THE SHIAS ARE OPPOSITE ENTITIES WHICH CANNOT BE RECONCILED. 4. IMAMATE: THERE ARE TWELVE IMAMS IN SHIA RELIGION FROM HADHRAT ALI TO IMAM MAHDI WHO LIKE THE PROPHETS ARE NOT ONLY MASOOM (SINLESS AND INFALLIBLE) AND HAVING BEEN COMISSIONED BY ALLAH BUT THEY ARE EVEN SUPERIOR TO HADHRAT IBRAHIM KHALILULLAH, HADHRAT MUSA ROOHULLAH, HADHRAT ISSA KALIMULLAH AND REST OF ALL OTHER PROPHETS. THIS IS THE STATEMENT OF THE SHIITTE BUT ACCORDING TO RESEARCH AND HISTORICAL EVIDENCE THE SO-CALLED 12 IMAMS OF THE SHIA NEVER IN THEIR LIVES CLAIMED THAT ARE DIVINELY APPOINTED IMAMS OR LEADERS OF THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY. THEY LIVED LIKE ORDINARY CITIZENS AND OFFERED CONGREGATIONAL PRAYERS ALONG WITH OTHER MUSLIMS IN THE MASJID BEHIND THE IMAM OF THE AREA/LOCALITY. IN FACT SHIA AS A SEPERATE ORGANISED RELIGION DID NOT EXIST FOR SOME 200 YEARS OF ISLAM. FURTHER DETALIS ARE DISCUSSED IN CHAPTER 17 "THE BASIS OF FIQH JAFARI'AH." 5. QIYAMAH: THE SHIAS BELIEVE IN THE LAST DAY (QIYAMAH) BUT WITH SOME DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT HAS BEEN STATED IN THE QUR'AN AND HADITH. ACCORDING TO BELIEF OF AHLE-SUNNAH AS TAUGHT BY THE HOLY QUR'AN AND RASUL-ALLAH (SAW), ALL THE HUMAN BEINGS WHETHER MUSLIMS OR KAFIRS WILL BE BROUGHT TO LIFE AGAIN ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT (QIYAMAH) AND WILL BE PUNISHED OR REWARDED ACCORDINGLY BY ALMIGHTY ALLAH. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO SHIAS, THERE WILL BE A SMALLER QIYAMAH WITH THE ADVENT OF IMAM MAHDI BEFORE THE GREATER QIYAMAH. IN THIS SMALLER QIYAMAH,THE AUTHORITY FOR GIVING PUNISHMENT OR REWARD WILL BE IMAM MAHDI HIMSELF. IN THIS WAY HE WILL BE THE POSSESSER OF DIVINE ATTRIBUTE (MIGHTY,ABLE TO REQUITE THE WRONG) IT MAY BE NOTED HERE THAT ACCORDING TO SHIA RELIGION, BELIEF IN IMAMATE IS A FUNDAMENTAL IN ISLAM LIKE TAWHEED, RISALAT AND QIYAMAH (DOOMSDAY). ANYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE FAITH IN IT IS A KAFIR (INFIDEL) AND DESTINED TO HELL.* ACCORDING TO SHIA BELIEF THE NAME OF THEIR 12 IMAMS ARE INSCRIBED ON THE THRONE . ALMIGHTY ALLAH HAS DECLARED ABOUT THEIR LEADESHIP IN THE QUR'AN . KHOMENI IN EXPOSITION OF VERSE 67 OF SURAH AL-MAIDAH* WRITES THAT THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD WASAFRAID * TO DECLARE THE IMAMATE OF ALI AS HE SENSED SERIOUS OPPOSITION FROM HIS PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT FAVOURABLY DISPOSED TOWARDS ALI (R.Z). IN THE LONG RUN ACCORDING TO KHOMENI THE PROPHET DID MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT ALI'S (R.Z) SUCCESSION ON RECEIVING DIVINE PROMISE OF PROTECTION BUT THE MAJORITY OF SAHABAH (BELONGING TO THE OPPOSITION PARTY* OF HADHRAT ABU BAKR (R.Z) AND HADHRAT UMAR (R.Z) WHO WERE AGAINST ALI (R.Z) DEFIED THIS PROCLAIMATION AND INSTEAD OF ALI (R.Z) BECAME THEMSELVES THE CALIPHS BY COERCION. THIS IS A GREAT TRAVESTY OF TRUTH HADHRAT ALI HAD THE UTMOST LOVE AND REGARD FOR HADHRAT ABU BAKR (R.Z) HADHRAT UMAR (R.Z) AND OTHER SAHABAH OF RASUL-ALLAH . HE CONSIDERED HADHRAT ABU BAKR (R.Z) MOST SUITED AND DESERVING FOR THE OFFICE OF CALIPHATE AFTER THE DEMISE OF RASUL-ALLAH .* IF HOWEVER , FOR A MOMENT FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT WE ADMIT THAT KHOMENI IS CORRECT IN WHAT HE HAS SAID ABOVE WHICH IS THE BASIS OF SHIA RELIGION THAT RASUL-ALLAH . NOMINATED HADHRAT ALI (R.Z) FOR THE OFFICE OF CALIPHATE AND IMAMATE AND MADE A DECLARATION TO THIS EFFECT AT GHADIR-KHUM, THEN IT WILL HAVE TO BE ADMITTED AS ITS LOGICAL OUT COME THAT RASUL-ALLAH MISERABLY FAILED IN THE TRAINING AND CHARACTER BUILDING OF HIS UMMAH TO THE EXTENT THAT NO PREVIOUS PROPHET OR REFORMER HAD FAILED SO CONSPIOUSLY RASUL-ALLAH SINCE THE DAWN OF PROPHET HOOD UNTIL HIS DEMISE REFORMED AND REFINED THOSE PEOPLE WITH HIS TEACHINGS, PREACHINGS AND EXAMPLE WITH WHOM HE LIVED, TRAVELLED AND WHO WERE TAUGHT IN HIS COMPANY BUT THOSE VERY PEOPLE AS SOON AS HE DIED COMMITTED SUCH A TREACHERY THAT IN PURSUIT OF WORLDLY GAIN AND POWER, THEY OVER TURNED THAT VERY DIVINE SYSTEM ESTABLISHED BY RASUL-ALLAH DESTINED TILL QAIYMAH FOR THE WELFARE OF UMMAH AND ABOUT WHICH ONLY A FEW DAYS BACK (BEFORE THE DEMISE OF RASUL-ALLAH ) THEY HAD PLEDGED AND GIVEN ALLEGIANCE CAN THERE BE ANY EXAMPLE OF SUCH GROSS FAILURE OF A REFORMER ? THE OTHER DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCE OF SUCH A BELIEF WOULD BE THAT THE WHOLE DEEN WOULD BECOME UNRELIABLE BECAUSE WE GOT THIS DEEN THROUGH THE AGENCY OF SAHABAH OF RASUL-ALLAH . IF THESE PEOPLE ARE HELD UNFAITHFUL AND FOLLOWERS OF THEIR OWN LUST AND PASSION, THEN NATURALLY ONE CANNOT RELY ON THEIR DEEN & IMAN. THE QUR'AN ESPECIALLY, CANNOT BE TAKEN AS GENUINE ONE SINCE THE PRESENT QUR'AN WAS COMPILED AND PUBLISHED DURING THE CALIPHATE OF HADHRAT'S ABU BAKR (R.Z) UMAR (R.Z) AND USMAN (R.Z) WHOM THE SHIAS CONSIDER USUPERS OF HADHRAT ALI (R.Z) CALIPHATE AND UNBELIEVERS AND RENEGADES. IT IS BUT NATURAL THEN TO CONCEIVE THAT SUCH PEOPLE WOULD HAVE DONE ALL SORTS OF ALTERATIONS IN THE QUR;AN TO SUIT THEIR WORDLY PURPOSES AS IT IS STATED IN THE VARIOUS SACRED BOOKS OF THE SHIAS. ONE CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION BROUGHT ABOUT BY KHOMENI WITHOUT COMPREHENDING THE CONCEPT OF IMAMATE AND i.e. PERIOD WHEN THE LAST IMAM GHAIB (HIDDEN) WILL COME OUT FROM HIS CAVE AND WILL BE TEMPORAL AND SPIRITUAL RULER OF THE UMMAH. EVEN DURING HIS ABSENCE HE CONTINUES TO BE IN THIS POSITION TILL QIYAMAH. THAT IS WHY THE SHIA'S CONSIDER ALL THOSE WHO WERE RULERS PRVIPUSLY (i.e. THE FIRST THREE CALIPHS) OR THE PRESENT-DAY RULERS IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES AS USURPERS, OPPRESSORS AND AGENTS OF EVIL FORCES (TAGOOTH) ACCORDING TO THEIR BELIEF, ACCORDING TO THEM RULERSHIP IS THE RIGHT OF THEIR MASOOM IMAMS WHO HAVE BEEN COMMISSIONED BY ALLAH FOR THIS PURPOSE ; WHOSE RANKS IS EQUIVALENT RASUL-ALLAH AND ARE SUPERIOR TO OTHER PROPHETS. AS IT IS OBLIGATORY TO HAVE FAITH IN THE PROPHET AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND OBEY HIM IS A QUARANTEE FOR SALVATION SIMILARY IT IS BINDING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE IMAMATE OF 12 IMAMS AND HAVE FAITH IN THEM AS ORDAINED RULERS AND NASOOM (SINLESS AND INFALLIBLE) WHICH IS A CONDITION FOR SALVATION. KHOMENI IS NOT ONLY A SHIA BUT IS AMONG THE TOP-NOTCH OF SHIA PRIESTS WHO ARE CALLED (AYAT -ALLUAH). HIS BOOK (AL-HAKOMAT-AL-ISLAMIA) PROVIDES THE RELIGIOUS AND INTELLECTUAL BASIS OF THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION. IN HTIS BOOK SPREAD OVER 150 PAGES IT HAS BEEN TRIED TO PROVE THAT DURING THE AWAITING PERIOD (GHIBET-E-KUBRA) OF THE LAST IMAM (i.e. IMAM MAHDI) WHICH HAD ALREADY PASSED TO THE EXTENT OF 1000 YEAR AND WHICH MAY STRETCH FUTHER TO THOUSAND YEARS (P.26), IT IS THE DUTY OF FUQQAHA (i.e. SHIA MUJTAHIDDIN) THAT THEY SHOULD TRY TO TAKE THE AFFAIRS OF THE GOVERNMENT IN THEIR OWN HANDS AS DEPUTY AND ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE HIDDEN IMAM, WHICH ANY SUCH MUJTAHID WHO IS CAPABLE OF THIS TASK RISES FOR MAKING SUCH ENDEAVOURS, THEN HIS OBEDIENCE IN MATTERS IN MATTERS OF SOCIETY AND STATECRAFT WILL BE BINDING FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE SAME WAY AS IT IS IN CASE OF AN IMAM AND EVEN A PROPHET AND RASUL-ALLAH . IN THIS VERY BOOK UNDER THE CAPTION---------- HE WRITES: " WHEN ANY FAQIH (MUJTAHID) WHO IS WELL VERSED AND IS JUST RISERS TO ORGANISE THE AFFAIRS OF THE STATE AND FORM A GOVERNMENT , HE WILL ENJOY THOSE VERY POWERS WHICH ARE EXERCISED BY A PROPHET AND IT WILL BE OBLIGATORY FOR THE PEOPLE TO HEAR AND OBEY HIM. HE WILL BE THE SUPREME COMMANDER, GUARDIAN AND CUSTODIAN OF ALL THE AFFAIRS OF THE UMMAH IN THE SAME WAY AS RASUL-ALLAH AND AMEE-UL-MOMINEEN ALI (R.Z) WERE (DURING THEIR TIME.) "(P.49). IN THE SAME BOOK KHOMENI WRITES ABOUT THEIR IMAMS UNDER THE CAPTION :" IMAM ENJOYS SUCH AN EXALTED STATUS AND KNOWLEDGEABLE EMPIRE THAT EVERY PARTICLE IN THE UNIVERSE IS SUBJECT TO HIS COMMAND AND OBEDIENCE" (P.52). IN ISLAM, SUCH A RANK AND STATS HAS NOT BEEN CONFERRED EVEN ON RASUL--ALLAH AND IT HAS BEEN MADE PLAIN IN THE QUR'AN AT SEVERAL PLACES THAT ONLY ALLAH IS THE ABSOLUTE RULER OVER THE UNIVERSE. AT ANOTHER PLACE IN THE SAME BOOK KHOMENI WRITES: "THE TEACHINGS OF OUR IMAMS ARE LIKE THE TEACHINGS OF THE QUR'AN. THESE ARE NOT CONFINED TO ANY SPECIAL GROUP OR SPECIFIED PERIOD, RAHTER THESE ARE FOR ALL AGES AND FOR ALL PEOPLES TILL DOOMSDAY. AS SUCH IT IS BINDING TO ENFORCE AND COMPLY WITH THEM." (P. 113). THERE IS NO DENYING THE FACT THAT IMAMATE IS THE ANTITHESIS OF KHALIFAT-RASHIDAH; RAHTER THE CONCEPT OF FINALITY OF PROPHET-HOOD BECOMES MEANINGLESS IN THE WAKE OF IMAMATE. BACAUSE OF IMAMTE, AHLE-SUNNAH HAVE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES WITH THE SHIAS SINCE IN THE SIGHT OF THE LATTER (SHIAS) IMAMATE IS SUPERIOR TO NUBAWWAH. AS A DENIER OF TAWHEED IS A KAFIR SO IS THE DENIER OF NUBAWWAH BUT BECAUSE SHIA ULAMA TAKE TAQIAH AS THE BASIS OF THEIR RELIGION THEY HIDE WHAT IS THERE IN THEIR HEARTS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE SET GOALS. ACCORDING TO USUAL A-KAFI TAQIYAH IS 9/10 OF THE RELIGION. YAQIYAH IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT ACT OF WORSHIP THAT IN EARLIER PERIODS MANY SHIA ULAMA HAVE BEEN WORKING UNDERGROUND IN THE GUISE OF SUNNI MUSLIM ALIMS. A SHIA HIGH PRIEST OF PAKISTAN MUFTI JAFFAR HUSSAIN MUJTAHID ONCE DECLARED; "THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHIA AND SUNNIS IS ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF DIFFERENCE PREVAILING AMONG THE FOUR SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT OF AHLESUNNAH I.E. HANAFI, SHAFI, MALIKI AND HAMBALI. ALL THIS IS A TAQIYAH. SIMILARLY ANOTHER SHIA MUJTAHID, ALLAMA RAZI DECLARED ON THE OCCASION OF NAFIZ ISLAM CONFERENCE/ ULAMA CONVENTION IN ISLAMABAD ON 31ST JANUARY 1985:" THOSE WHO REVILE THE SAHBAH AND UMMHATUL MOMINEEN ARE NON-MUSLIMS." BUT THE QUESTION IS DO SHIAS CONSIDER HADHRAT ABU BAKR, UMAR AND USMAN (R.A) MOMIN AND MUSLIM IN THE SAME WAY AS THEY CONSIDER HADHRAT FATIMAH (R.A)? THE SHIAS TRY TO DECEIVE AHLE SUNNAH BY UTTERING SUCH PHRASES WHICH ARE INTENDED TO WIN OVER SUNNI MUSLIMS! IN THE LIGHT OF ABOVE, THOSE PEOPLE WHO CALL THE REVOLUTION IN IRAN AS "ISLAMIC REVOLUTION" AND RAISE SUCH SLOGANS IN CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS AS (I.E. ISLAMIC REVOLUTION IS NEITHER SHIA NOR SUNNI) ARE UNAWARE OF THE BASIC RUDIMENTS OF THIS REVOLUTION. TO HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT ANY MOVEMENT OR REVOLUTION, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KNOW THE IDEAS AND LEANINGS OF ITS FOUNDER/LEADER. ANYONE WHO OVERLOOKS THIS PRE-REQUISITE PURPOSELY OR DEEMS IT LAWFUL TO IGNORE IT, IS BEREFT OF IMAN (FAITH) AND HIS SOLE PURPOSE AND MOTIVE IS ACQUSITION OF WORLDLY GAIN OF POWER WHETHER SUCH AN EXERCISE/BARGAIN COMPROMISES WITH THE FUNDAMENTALS OF DEEN! A MINUTE STUDY OF HISTORY REVEALS THAT THE MARTYDROMS OF HADHRAT'S UMAR, UTHMAN, ALI (R.Z) AND HUSSAIN (R.A) WERE THE CHAINS JEWS & MAGIANS. IN FACT THE FOUNDATION OF SHIA RELIGION HAD BEEN LAID ONLY TO UPROOT ISLAM. THE SHIAS HAVE PLAYED THEIR CUNNING BUT OBNOXIOUS ROLE IN PROMOTING INTERNAL STRIFE AND WARFARE BETWEEN UMMAYADDAS AND ABBASIDIES. THOSE WHO WERE TREACHEROUS TO SALAHUDDIN AYUBBI WERE ALSO SHIAS. THESE VERY PEOPLE PLAYED TRICKERY WITH THE TURKS AND WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN PASSING RESOLUTION FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE CALIPHATE IN TURKEY AND CONSEQUENTLY SULTAN ABDUL HAMID WAS DISMISSED FROM HIS OFFICE. THEY ARE ALSO GUILTY OF LAUNCHING THE MURDEROUS ATTACK ON NOORUDDIN ZANGI, A SPIRITED MUSLIM RULER. MIR SADIQ WHO CONSPIRED AGAINST AND GOT TIPU SULTAN MURDERED AND MIR JAFFAR WHO SPIED AGAINST HIS MASTER, NAWAB SIRAJUDDULLAH OWED THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO SHIA RAFIDA RELIGION. THE SHIA FATIMIDIES IN NORTH AFRICA AND EGYPT SUBJECTED AHLE-SUNNAH TO UNTOLD BRUTALITIES. DURING THE REIGN OF ABBASIDES, OTHMANS, AND MOGHALS THEY DID ALL IN THEIR POWER TO UNDERMINE ISLAM AND MUSLIMS. THE NAWABS OF OUDH (INDIA) DID EVERYTHING TO WRECK ISLAM. THEN HUSSAIN TABATABATANI SHOWED THE WAY OF TURKISTAN AND IRAN TO TARTARS. IBN ALQAMI CAUSED SUCH A MASSACRE OF MUSLIMS IN BAGHDAD (THROUGH THE INVASION OF TARTARS) THAT TIGRIS WAS DYED RED WITH BLOOD FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND LATER WHEN THE TREASURES OF KNOWLEDGE WERE DUMPED IN THE RIVER IT BECAME ENTIRELY BLACK BECAUSE OF THE INK OF BOOKS AND JOINED THE SEA IN THIS VERY STATE. THE FATAMIDE GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT BEHEADED EVERY SUCH MUSLIM WHO OPENED HIS TONGUE AGAINST THE IMAMATE AND TRUSTEESHIP OF HADHRAT ALI (R.A) THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF IRAN IS PURSUING THIS VERY POLICY; OF COURSE IN A SUBTLE WAY. ALL THE MUSLIMS COUNTRIES SHOULD UNITEDLY ENDEAVOUR TO UNMASK IRAN AS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SHIAS AND AHLE-SUNNAH ARE TOO GRAVE AND GLARING. SHIAISM CANNOT BE RECONCILED WITH THE IMAN TAUGHT AND COMMANDED BY RASUL--ALLAH . THAT IMAN IS ENTIRELY AT VARIANCE WITH THE BRAND OF ISLAM ADVOCATED BY KHOMENI. A STUDY OF SHIA RELIGION WILL ITSELF REVEAL TO THE READERS HOW KHOMENISM IS FAR FROM ISLAM. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT EVERY MUSLIM BE MADE AWARE OF THE BELIEFS AND TEACHINGS OF SHIAISM SO THAT HE IS NOT MISLED BY THE SUPPORTERS OF THE SHIA CLERGY WHO EXPECT THE UMMAH OF RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) TO UNITE WITH THOSE WHOSE VERY RELIGION IS REARED ON HATRED FOR THE SAHABAH. NO, THAT CAN NEVER COME TO PASS. THE ENEMIES OF RASUL-ALLAH'S (SAW) SAHABAH CAN NEVER BE THE FRIENDS AND BROTHERS OF THE AHLE-SUNNAH. THERE IS NO COMPROMISE IN OUR FAITH FOR SUCH VENTURES. WE KNOW OF NO DIPLOMACY AND RECOGNISE NO EXPEDIENCY FOR SUCH VILE BROTHERHOOD. IF UNITY AND BROTHERHOOD WITH ALL AND SUNDRY ARE OF SUCH IMPORTANCE LET THE SUPPORTERS OF KHOMENI ADVOCATE UNITY AND BROTHERHOOD WITH BAHAISM AND QADIANISM AS WELL. THE SHIA CLERGY IS MERELY MISUSING THE NAME OF ISLAM TO HOODWINK PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING THAT THEY HAVE ISLAM AT HEART. BUT MEN WHO HAVE ISLAM AT HEART WILL FIRST AND FOREMOST HAVE RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) AT HEART. IN THEIR POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CONCEPT OF UNITY, THE PRODUCT OF THE BANEFUL NAFS IN THE PURSUIT OF AGGRANDISEMENT AND DOMINATION, THEY ARE PREPARED TO SHELVE THEIR IMMEDIATE DESIGNS AND FABRICATE A COMMON BASIS AND A WHICH CLUTTERS THEIR BOOKS AND PREACHINGS EXHIBIT THEIR WICKEDNESS AND DETESTATION FOR THE ISLAM OF RASUL--ALLAH NOTWITHSTANDING ALL THIS IRAN TRUMPETS THE SLOGAN OF "ISLAMIC REVOLUTION" VOCIFEROUSLY. KHOMENI IS AT PAINS IN HIS ENDEAVOUR TO BEFOOL THE MUSLIM WORLD INTO THE DECEPTION THAT IRAN IS AN ISLAMIC STATE MODELLED ALONG THE QUR'ANIC LINES. BUT THIS CLAIM IS FOR FROM THE TRUTH AS SHIAISM IS A DEVIATE AND BATIL SECT SUSCRIBING TO MANY UN-ISLAMIC AND EVIL BELIEFS. THERE IS, THEREFORE, NOTHING ISLAMIC IN THE EDIFIC RAISED BY KHOMENI AND THE SHIA CLERGY AND IT SHOULD BE CLEAR TO ALL AND SUNDRY THAT IRAN IS NO ISLAMIC STATE. IN FACT, SHIA IRAN UNDER KHOMENI IS AS FAR FROM ISLAM OF RASUL--ALLAH AS IT WAS UNDER THE REIGN OF FORMER SHAH. BOTH ARE UN-ISLAMIC IN DIFFERENT GARB. A TRULY ISLAMIC STATE IS POWERFUL AS IT RECEIVES DIVINE BLESSINGS AND AID. THE REIGN OF KHULAFA RASHIDEEN WHOM THE SHIAS BRAND AS MURTADS WAS BACKED BY AID FROM ALLAH TA'ALA. IT WAS FOR THIS REASON THAT ISLAM OVERRAN THE SO-CALLED "SUPERPOWERS" OF THOSE DAYS AND ESTABLISHED ITS DOMAIN OVER THE GREATER PART OF THE THEN KNOWN WORLD IN THE SHORTEST SPAN OF TIME. INSPITE OF NUMERICAL AND MATERIAL INFERIORITY, AMIRUL MUMINEEN HADHRAT UMAR (R.A), THE SECOND KHALIFAH OF RASUL--ALLAH VANQUISHED BOTH ROMAN AND PERSIAN EMPIRES AND BROUGHT THEIR LANDS UNDER ISLAMIC SWAY. THE DIVINE AID IS THUS MANIFEST IN THE TRULY ISLAMIC STATE WHICH KHULAFA RASHIDEEN ESTABLISHED. BUT THE CONDITION OF SHIA IRAN IS LAMENTABLE. FOR YEARS NOW IT IS LOCKED IN A MUSLIM COUNTRIES. IRAN LAUNCHES ONE POERATION AFTER ANOTHER AGAINST IRAQ. WAVES UPON WAVES OF FIDAYEEN ARE SENT ON SUICIDAL MISSION AGAINST IRAQ BUT THE POSITION REMAINS UNCHANGED. THERE IS NO PROGRESS IN IRAN'S "JIHAD" AGAINST "KUFR". THIS SEEMS TO BE MOST SHAMEFUL FOR A COUNTRY WHICH MAKES LOUD PROCLAIMATIONS ABOUT EXPORTING ITS BRAND OF "ISLAMIC REVOLUTION." INDEED THE ISLAMIC SLOGANS OF IRAN ARE A MOCKERY. IF IRAN WAS A TRULY ISLAMIC STATE, IT WOULD HAVE PEACE WITH IRAQ AS THE LATTER HAD ACCEPTED THE PEACE PROPOSALS OF O.I.C. AND OTHER ISLAMIC BODIES BUT THE IRAN -- IRAQ WAR AND RESULTANT BLOODSHED HAS NOT COME TO AN END DUE TO THE UNREALISTIC AND UNCOMPROMISING STAND TAKEN BY THE HIGH PRIESTS OF IRAN. IT IS A SINGULAR AND REMARKABLE DISTINCTION OF ISLAM THAT 96 PER CENT OF ITS FOLLOWERS ARE IN THE FOLD OF SUNNAT-WL-JAMAAT WITH FOUR PER CENT FOLLOWING VARIOUS SHIA PROCLIVITIES SUCH AS ISNA ASHRI, ISMAILI, ZAIDI, ALAWI, DARUZI ETC. THE REASON FOR THIS UNANIMITY AND OVER-WHELMING CONSENSUS IN ISLAM IS THAT ISLAMIC TEACHINGS ARE PLAIN, SIMPLE AND EXPLICIT NOT LENDING THEMSELVES TO MORE THAN ONE INTERPRETATION ON THE BASIC ISSUES OF IDEOLOGY AND ACTIVITY. ALMIGHTY ALLAH DECLARES IN THE QURAN : "WHO SO FOLLOW THE MY GUIDANCE, THERE SHALL NO FEAR COME UPON THEM NEITHER SHALL THEY GRIEVE. BUT THEY WHO DISBELIEVE AND DENY OUR REVELATIONS, SUCH ARE RIGHTFUL OWNERS OF THE FIVE. THEY WILL ABIDE THEREIN". (2:38-39). "AND IF THEY ANSWER THEE NOT, THEN KNOW THAT WHAT THEY FOLLOW IS THEIR LUSTS. AND WHO GOETH FARTHER ASTRAY THAN HE WHO FOLLOWE THE HIS LUST WITHOUT GUIDANCE FROM ALLAH. LOT ALLAH GUIDETH NOT WRONGDOING FOLK". (28 : 50). "HOST THOU SEEN HIM WHO MAKETH HIS DESIRE HIS GOD, AND ALLAH SENDETH HIM ASTRAY PURPOSELY, AND SEALE THE UP HIS HEARING AND HIS HEART, AND SETTETH ON HIS SIGHT A COVERING ? THEN WHO WILL LEAD HIM AFTER ALLAH (HATH CONDEMNED HIM)? WILL YE NOT THEN HEED?" (55:23). "IS HE WHO RELIETH ON A CLEAR PROOF FROM HIS LORD LIKE THOSE FRO WHOM THE EVIL THAT THEY DO IS BEAUTIFIED WHILE THEY FOLLOW THEIR OOWN LUSTS?" (47:14). NOTES: 1. SUNNI MUSLIM CONSTITUTE 96% OF THE TOTAL WORLD MUSLIM POPULATION--------BY ABU NAEEM ISPAHANI, P. 4) WHILE THE SHIAS ARE ONLY REMAINING 4% OR EVEN LESS. THIS MEANS THAT OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SUNNI MUSLIMS HAVE CONDEMNED TO HELL BY THE SHIAS WHOSE CREDENTIALS ARE THEM SELVES FAKE AND FORGET ! 2. THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THIS VERSE IS "O MESSENGER ! MAKE KNOWN THAT WHICH HATH BEEN REVEALED UNTO THEE FROM THY LORD, FOR IT THOU DO IT NOT, THOU WILL NOT HAVE CONVEYED HIS MESSAGE. ALLAH WILL PROTECT THEE FROM MANKIND. LOT ALLAH GUIDETH NOT THE DISBELIEVING FOLK." (AL-QUR'AN 5:67). 3. THIS IS A GREAT SLUR ON THE PROPHETIC MISSION ! 4. THE FACT IS THAT THERE WERE NO SUCH DIFFERENCES OR GROUPING AMONG THE SAHABAH OF RASUL-ALLAH . THE QUR'AN HAS DESCRIBED THEIR STATE OF MIND IN THESE WORDS...........:THE CMPANIONS OF MUHAMMAD ARE HARD AGAINST THE DISBELIEVERS AND MERCIFUL AMONG THEMSELVES." (48:29). AT ANOTHER PLACE IN THE QUR'AN IT IS STATED ABOUT THEM:------- "ALLAH HATE ATTUNED THE HEARTS OF THE BELIEVERS." (8:63). AND HISTORY BEARSWITNESS, EVEN NON-MUSLIM HISTORIANS TESTIFY THIS THAT THERE WERE NO FIFFERENCES AMONG THE SAHABAH AND NEITHER THERE WERE ANY REVALRIES CALLING FOR GROUPINGS. THE PICTURE DRAWN BY KHOMENI IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. 5. PLEASE SEE APPENDIX--11 :HADHART ABU BAKR SIDDIQ AS HADHRAT ALI SAW HIM" AND ANNEX--111 "ELECTION OF CALIPHS AND JEWISH BACKGOUND TO THE BATTLES OF JAMAL & SIFFIN" BY DR. MUHAMMAD HAMIDULLAH OF PARIS. SIMILARLY ALL SHIA STORIES ABOUT HADHRAT UMAR'S ENEMITY WITH HADHRAT ALI OR ALLEGED EXCESSES BY HADHRAT UMAR ON HADHRAT FATIMAH (R.A) ARE WITHOUT UMAR. IN FACT BY GIVING HIS DAUGHTER, UMM KULSUM, IN MARRIAGE TO HADHRAT UMAR, HADHRAT ALI MADE HIM HIS SON-IN-LAW IN THE SAME WAY RASUL-ALLAH (SAW) MADE HADHRAT ALI HIS SON-IN-LAW BY GIVING HER DAUGHTER, FATIMA, IN MARRIAGE. IT IS A DIVINE BLESSING THAT BY ESTABLISHING BLOOD RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HADHRAT ALI AND UMAR, THE WHOLE BUILDING OF HATRED AND RANCOUR BUILT BY THE SHIAS AGAINST THE ALLEGED DENIGRATORS OF AHLE-BAIT HAVE CRUMBLED LIKE THE HOUSE OF CARDS. 6. KHOMENI IN HIS PERSIAN BOOK (VIDE PAGES 113-114) HAS USED SUCH STRONG WORDS OF CENSURE AGAINST THE SAHABAH AND ESPECIALLY THE FIRST THREE CALIPHS HADHRAT'S ABU BAKR, UMAR AND USMAN (R.A) WHICH CAN ONLY SUIT SOME UTTERLY IRRELIGIONS AND BAD CHARACTER PEOPLE OF AN UNDERGROUND TREACHEROUS ORGANISATION. AFTER READING KHOMENI OR OTHER SHIA WRITERS, A WESTERNER CAN WELL REALISE THAT AFTER THE DEMISE OF THE PROPHET OF ISLAM ONLY FOUR OF FIVE OF HIS FOLLOWERS STUCK TO THE THINK OF ACCEPTING ISLAM WHEN ITS EARLY VOTARIES PRESENT SUCH A DISMAL PICTURE? ISLAM HAS RECEIVED A SEVERE SET-BACK IN THE WEST DUE TO SHIA INSINUATIONS! 7. MORE THEN 10 MILLION MUSLIMS WERE MASSACRED IN COLD BLOOD DUE TO THE TREACHERY OF SHIAS.
