Shia And Sunni Muslims

Re: Shia And Sunni Muslims

First of all Shias do not regard a person as a lover of Ahllubayt [as] who believes in a book containing the teachings of open Nasibi and Khawarij and use ‘ra’ for those who became deviated by cursing,hurting,abusing,fighting Ahlulbayt [as].

Secondly, you what what your problem is? You just read the beliefs of Shias and then start saying “taubah taubah Allah Allah” without reazling that there are tons of similar things present in your school as well and most importantly there it isnt a correct way to consider sonmeone as misguided without coming to know the **reasons **and **proofs **of their particular stance!!

  1. Have you bothered to read the Quran (2:124) which itself a proof that Imamate is a level ahead of prophethood/messengership?

  2. Deobandism is one of the biggest sect of Hanafi school through out sub continent. Have you ever bothered to know the Deobandi stance on the issue? According to one of the pioneer scholars of Deoband, Muhammad Qaasim Nanotovi states:

**“If Prophets are distinguished from their followers then such distinction is confined only with regard to knowledge. But so far as deeds are concerned, most often their followers are equal to them, and some times even excel them”. **
Tahzeer-un-Naas, Page 5 by Muhammad Qaasim Nanotovi

It was not only Maulana Qaasim Nanotovi but one of his esteemed followers Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi adhering to same belief stated:

In the art of politics, it is quite possible that a non-Prophet may excel a Prophet’s knowledge."
Al-Ifanzaat-ul-Yaumiyah, by Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi, vol. 6 page 349

Besdie this there is a whole conversation of a Deobandi saint/abdaal to the prophet Khizr [ra] which starts with the wordS:
“Once one of the Abdaal met Hazrat Khidr A.S and inquired from him whether he had ever met anyone among the saints whom he considered higher in rank than himself. To this he replied, ‘Yes, I have.

As for your indigestion for the belief of Imams being excel than angels, Suffice it to say that Rasulullah (s) had stated:

“In the eyes of Allah, the momin is superior to certain angels”.

In his explanation of this Hadith classical Hanafi scholar, Mullah 'Ali Qari declares:

“Thayabi has commented that this Hadith means that ordinary people can be superior to ordinary Angels and superior people are superior to ordinary and superior angels in the same way that superior angels are superior to ordinary men”.
Mirqat Sharah Mishkat page 510 Hadith number 5

Have you ever bothered to see what is found in your own school? If these are deivated beliefs according to, why I dont see a thread/posts from you condemning the Deobandies, Hanafies? Why the heck have you made Shias as your sole target? Double Standards!!!
