Re: The name Umer according to Shia's??????
....do u think Ali (ra) wud work with them if he considered them wrong????
and i usually laugh when ppl come up with the same wrong statement over and over again. This is becuase they are literal minded and do not ponder into the facts in a way the Sunnah of Allah [swt] wants us to. Since they do not believe that Allah [swt] appoints His representatives on earth either in form of Prophets, Imams etc and the one who is the representative of Allah [swt] DO NOT care about a single person who is wrong, but take decisions in the interests of the humanity, the majority of mankind! Simple is that.
Take an example right from the Quran which is sent to take guidance from. Prophet Yusuf [as] was the representative of Allah [swt] on earth, but we see that He [as] not only aided the King who was a Kaafir in taking correct decisions in respect of provosions but He [as] himself did efforts and accepted a key position in his government. Why, for the Kaafir king? No, rather in the benefit of the mankind. It was in His [as] hands not to tell the correct Ta`beer of King's dream or not to take command of the provision business so that he could have easily destroyed the king and his unbelieving men.
