Re: MUSLIM UNITY SHIA-SUNNI UNITY Misconception
The poster of this thread and poster’s fellows in this thread are simply fooling others and deceiving their ownselves.
If it was so simple then shias and sunnis wouldn’t have been killing each other for centuries.
Shias betrayal of the Khilafat of Banu 'Abbas and inviting Halaku Khan to Baghdad, their conspiracy against Ottoman Empire to assist Christians, betraying Tipu Sultan and Nawab Sirajud Daulah and in the present time Iran’s coalition with Russia and India against Talibans and assisting Americans in their attacking them, Shias supporting occupying forces in Iraq strategically and politically, all are undeniable and solid proofs that there is something between Sunnis and Shias which make them disunite with each other and that is their Long Ago Religious Rivalry and their Different Fundamental Beliefs on whose basis Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Shafi’i, Imam Malik, their followers including Deobandis, Barelvis, Wahabis / Salafis regard shias (12ers) out of the fold of Islam.
But if you insist upon fooling yourself then here is something for you to open your eyes:
According to Imam Shaf’i:
“I have not seen among the heretics a people more famous for falsehood than the Raafidi, and on another occasion he said; "Narrate knowledge from everyone you meet except for the Raafidi shia, because they invent ahaadeeth and adopt them as part of their religion.”
(Minhaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah)
According to Imam Abu Hanifah:
“Whoever doubts whether they are disbelievers has himself committed disbelief.”
Imam Malik said about Rafidha shias:
“Do not speak to them or narrate from them, for surely they are liars.”
During one of Imam Malik’s classes, it was mentioned that the raafidi Shia curse the sahaba. Imam Malik recited the verse, “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and those with him are harsh with the disbelievers and gentle among themselves. So that the disbelievers may become enraged with them.” (48:29) He then said, “Whoever becomes enraged when the Sahâbah are mentioned is the one about whom the verse speaks.”
(Tafseer al-Qurtubi)
According to Abu Zar’ah ar Razi of the Rafidi’s doctrine of cursing Sahabah:
“If you see someone degrade any of the companions of the Prophet SAWS know that he is a disbeliever. Because the Prophet SAWS was real, what he brought was the truth and all of it was conveyed to us by way of the Sahâbah. What those disbelievers wish to do is cast doubt on the reliability of our narrators in order to invalidate the Qur’an and Sunnah. Thus the disbelievers are the ones most deserving of defamation.”
Even the people of Barelvi group (Ahmed Raza Khan) regard shias out of the fold of Islam, e.g read the following from Imam Ahmed Raza Academy, South Africa; Read this and have some shame:
INTRODUCTION
The Sunni Muslims of today have become targets of Iranian propaganda. By reading through Shia literature, they conclude that Khomeini was the great modern day Islamic leader who despised the separation of the Sunnis and Shias within the Islamic Community. They also believe that Khomeini preferred a total Islamic Unity of both Sunnis and Shias and that Khomeini respected the Great Prophet of Islam (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the Khulafa-e-Rashideen and all the Sahaba (radi Allahu anhu anhum ajma’in). They are also under the impression that Khomeini labelled as “Shaitaan” those who spoke of a separate Shia and Sunni group within the Muslim Community.
