Re: Sunni Perspective on Shia Traditions

Respecting and Loving the Prophet’s family is one thing. But believing they had spiritual powers that others did not is a different concept. I understand this is a Shia belief, and not a Sunni belief. Both accept that Ali (R) and his descendents are to be respected, and why we mourn what happened in Karbala.

However, are they infallible in their ideas? I they are divinely guided and Allah is guiding their spirituality, then it follows they can’t mislead people or make wrong decisions, at least not MAJOR sins or major BAD decisions.

I don’t have a reason to believe any of the Imams that Twelver Shias follow had anything so wrong about them, or that they were doing the wrong things. They certainly stood up to Muawiyah and Yazeed. And that’s fine, that they led a resistance to oppression. **

But believing that they’re in divine contact with Allah SAW or they have a spiritual connection with Allah SAW that is only exclusive to their blood line - is that a Sunni concept?

Did they ? just the first 3 after that in times of zayn al abideen there seems to be a entente between ummayyads and banu hashim and subsequent banu hashim uprisings against ummayyads were not supported by 12 imams of shias

do 12ers remember zayd b Ali ? his son ? or nafs zazakkiya ? or Abdullah b muawuyah ?

No after karbala the door is shut to armed uprising as far as 12ers are concerned
