Salaam all.
I was recently reading JOurney to the Unseen World. For anyone who hasnt read the book, it takes you along on the journey after dying.
The character in the book is accpompanied by Haadi (Abul Wafa), who is his relationship with religion (Islam). Now the character is a boy and therefore his Haadi is male.
What about women, will our Haadi be male or female?
Aside: Please comment on the validity/accuracy of this book
the book is available online....
a shiaa book....
too much shirk as the dead seeks Ali(ra) for help....
and this haadi concept is false....
all shiaa mythology, according to my opinion ofcourse....
P.S. in any case, this haadi is an angel and angels r free from gender so the concept of male/female does not arise among angels....
i forgot to add…
the book can please a child but anyone who is serious about religion (even if its not Islam) he can only laugh at the childish ideas in the book…
I thought it was a little wierd, the book talks about another nabih comming and Ali being able to forgive everything.
In the book it also expressly says that the Haadi was a male.
yeh I was shocked at that tooo. 
I know I may be asking for a bit much here but anyone know of a sunni book on the subject?
thanks for the clarifications so far. :)

Where did the concept of Haadi come in Islam? I never heard about it.

the concept under discussion is not part of the mainstream Islam and if some minority believes it, then the name of that group definitely has to come up....

There can be a better way to refute other concepts. Don’t be very proud of majority. It is proved from Quran that majority is wrong. 2ndly the group you belong to is in minorities. 3rdly I told you not to post any reply in that thread.
and???
shall i take orders from u???
This is the one of the reasons of Muslims down fall.

inuit The Quran says that majority of mankind is wrong and will not believe. There is no such statement that majority of Believers will be in error.
If being in minority is the criteria of being right then Zaidis or other fringe religion has more claim to be on the right path.
from here this thread is split to thread: Obeying Majority; mainstream, majority-minority concepts
