Re: Shias and the Turba in Prayer
Dear Sir, My point is, as per the book Islam is said to be the best religion given to the best people( and by saying people, it does not by any mean refer to people of certain ethnic group). Now these Best people have somehow came up with different cults ( which were founded on difference of opinions) and now the situation is, The intermarriage between the cults is equal to marrying a non-muslim. ( this is not the case in south asia only, as per my knowledge and info, whole muslim world is suffering from this)
Dear Sir;
I respect your sentiments but do not fully concur them. My late grand mother an Ahle Hadith (Wahabi) was married to an Ahle Tashiau (Shia), my late Grand father. They had six children. One of them, my late father, remained a Shia while others became Ahle Sunnah (Sunni) and not Wahabis. My father, a Shia was married to my mother, a Sunni. My elder brother is a Shia, my three sisters are Sunni. I am neither a Shia nor a Sunni but call and write myself as a MUSLIM because that is what our Holy Prophet (SAW) and his companions used to call themselves. By the grace of Allah Almighty, in my 41 years of life, we have never ever quarelled over anything. No one has ever ever rediculed any Sahabi or Ahle Bait. In Moharram, I along with my Shia brother and Sunni Uncle make arrangements for the procession of mourners. And people from both Sunni and Shia community come to the death anniversary of my Shia father. So you see, even one example is enough to disprove that whole of the Muslim World is suffering from this. To generalise such statements to more than ONE BILLION MUSLIMS OF THE WORLD WOULD BE UN JUST.
Regards.
