Re: Abdullah ibn Saba - The Myth Exposed
First of all, even if there were some explicit proofs of the Imamate of Ahlulbayt [as] in Quran, even then there was no guarantee of you accepting it, since currently there are some instructions in Quran which you simply reject, taking two witnesses at the time of divorce is one such example.
lol, even if I accept your argument the two witnesses come from Ahkaam and not 'Aqeedah as your so called 'Aqeedah of Imamat is, so get a life, find your Imams in the real world.

Secondly, prophet left Quran and Ahlulbayt [as] behind him, and when we learn things from Ahlulbayt [as] we come to know about the verses in Quran that were revealed in their merits.

What is Ahlul Bayt in Quran?
Does Quran say anywhere that 'Ali is Ahlul Bayt or his wife and children are Ahlul Bayt of Muhammad sallAllahu 'alayhe wasallam?
Your so called Imams are Ahlul Bayt of 'Ali not of Muhammad sallAllahu 'alayhe wasallam?
By the way who are Ahlul Bayt of Ali in your Treasury of Shi'ism? Zakirs and Maatamis who beat themselves up for crimes their forefathers have done?

Thirdly, the funamental Sunni belief of Khilafat e Rashidah (i.e a bunch of people choosing guide for the mankind lol ) is also not mentioned in Quran, on the other hand we do find verses that talked about the divine appointment of Imams/guides.

lol, once again pathetic response. 'Umar was a Believer though he didn't believe in Khulafa Rashideen. Their being Khulafa is a fact, since all Muslims accepted them as their Khulafa, we also accept them, we are not Kharijites like Shi'ites to build Masjid Zaraar against Believers. We don't get cut off from the Ijma' of Ummah. Khulafa of Rashideen don't make up our 'Aqeedah, get another life, lol.

The point is that you dont know the meaning of Taqqiyah, when to do it, and when not to. Its just some Nasibi websites and authors that telll you its partial meanings and then you people argue foolishly. The narrators or even Imam can do Taqqiyah, it all depends on the situation.

Why would I take your definition of Taqiyyah while you believe in Taqiyyah, lol?

Because all of them had been thorn in the eyes of the rulers from the predominanlty Nasibi Bani Ummayah and hence the imams were always been under some kind of presure or suveillance that they were not allowed to preach their teachings openly. Still we see traces of a few books in history that we no longer find today, Tafsir wrriten by Imam Hasan Askari [as] is oe such example.

Was there any man among your so called Infallibles to challenge those Nasibis?
Or all of them lived their lives in cowardice?
