Truly, Allah :swt: was pleased with each and everyone of those who lived and aided the Holy Prophet :saw: and Yazid was one of them…

How did Yazid aid the Prophet and why was Allah pleased with him?

@Hyperactive

And the reason it is reduced to a status of a political war is simply because it is better that what happened 1,400 years ago rmeains a political issue as Sunnis believe rather making it into a religious issue such as Shias would have us believe…That would give the issue rest…

Why is it better that it should be reduced to a political issue?

@Hyperactive

However, Sunnis do not believe in mourning the martyrs or grieving endlessly over past issues as what happens happens with the will of Allah :swt: and a Muslim finds repose in that thought otherwise the life is spent in eternal misery…

So people who mourn n grieve for martyrs spent their life in eternal misery.

@Hyperactive

Prophets of Allah :swt: have been killed and hanged and martyred and who deserves more of our grieving then they? However, as Muslims we find rest in the fact that what happened to them happened with the will of Allah :swt: and what He does, does not merit wet eyes…He does what He does in the best of knowledge…

“Will of Allah” is such a convenient quote. Now you wouldn’t be please to hear me say the cursing that goes one that you despise is “Will of Allah” too, right?

When Prophet Yaquoub pbuh cried till he lost sight after his separation from his son Yusuf pbuh, why did it merit so much wet eyes. Didn’t he know it was “Will of Allah” and leave it at that.

Can I say what is happening in Darfur, Iraq, Palestine and other places where tyrants rule is “Will of Allah” - such things don’t merit wet eyes. I will find rest in this fact? Really? Injustice is injustice and it’s human nature to cry n also to condemn the tyrants.

@Hyperactive

For Sunnis, not only the lives of Hz. Ali and Hussain but the life every Sahaba was dedicated to Islam and they too lost their lives and had their blood spilled, much before Hz. Ali and Hussain …Isn’t it degrading that we don’t take their sacrifices into account? How degrading is it when many Shias curse them in the face of Sunnis? How do you think it makes Sunnis feel?

IMHO, shias who curse in the face of Sunnis don’t have the Ikhlaq that Islam has taught.

@Hyperactive

As you know, I used to be a Barelvi…Barelvis in essence are half Shias and half Sunnis in belief and are very influenced by Shia beliefs…So, they tend to belittle some Sahabas as well…In ignorance I too used to do that and used to shout ‘Ya Ali’ ‘Maula Ali’ e.t.c…That’s what I was taught and I believed it as well…

But, once knowledge is gained, it clears a lot of misconceptions…

How does saying Ya Ali’ ‘Maula Ali’ belittle sahabas?
