Re: Sects of Islam
Dear brother Ibn Sadique…u r trying to emply logical deduction to judge as shaqiyah and I like that and we can sure come to it however I did request u to not jump forward in time…may b there is something u r not comfortable discussing or I give u benefit of the doubt that u r not aware of some of the facts…what was Imam Ali’s stance abt the coup of Saqeefa? what was Fatima Zahra’s opinion abt her fathers inheritence and the confisication of it against the commands of Quran and the Prophet saww? in Sahi Muslim u can find Umar saying that Imam Ali considered Abu bakr “liar, treacherous and dishonest”…lets look at these first and then I can show u occasions from that time forward …
btw, if anybody attributes syed Radi for “imagining” as shaqiyah then that tells u abt the level of ignorance of the fools…the sources of the content have been traced to earlier works pre-dating the complier syed radi…and very quickly, as for Imam “sounding” helpless in shaqshaqiya…well, that is due to ur own ignorance or perhaps ur inability to understand…otherwise nahjul balagha as a whole and shaqshaqiya in particular are considered the lingual and expressive masterpieces in arabic language taught at the classic schools of Arabic learning…check with sheikh ninowy…
