Re: Why do Sunnis have a problem with Matam?
i’ll try to answer the points you have mentioned here, but if you have a question regarding anything i previously wrote just ask. its very hard to appreciate these general points unless you know about the beliefs, history and incidences im very casually refering to.
you wont because the ahle tashi (twelvers) dont believe in it, although other blasphemous beliefs are subsituted for it. eg what rizla heard.
i said the shia started out with this shirk belief. you can read about ibn saba, heres a snippet:
“After ‘Alī’s assassination, ibn Saba is said to have taught that ‘Alī was not dead but alive and had never been killed, that a part of the Deity was hidden in him and that after a certain time he would return to fill the earth with justice. Until then the divine character of ‘Alī was to remain hidden in the Imams, who temporarily filled his place”
although that account is contested by them. so we need a current example which the nusairi shias (20% of syria) oblige, their shahada:
*“I bear witness that there is no god except Haidar ,
and no screen covering him except Muhammad, the honest and trustworthy one,
*and there is no way to him except through Salmaan the all-powerful.” *
(nauzubillah)
edit: btw the rajah (reincarnation) part of the ibn saba statement is a belief held by twelvers today
now these are more actual shia (twelver) beliefs, they may or may not be present in the common shiite man:
Imamate is a divine station like Nabuwwat. This implies that Sunnis, who do not believe in Imamate, are unbelievers. According to their beliefs, Allah had chosen twelve men to success Nabi (SallALLAHo Alayhi Wasallam). The Twelfth Imam however disappeared at the age of five. He is believed to be the awaited Mahdi.
** THE STATUS OF THE IMAMS*
The Imams possess more knowledge than the Ambiya (a.s). They are superior to the Ambiya and the entire creation. The Imams can bring the dead back to life. No knowledge of the heavens and the earth is hidden from them.
understatement. whats worse is the shia (twelver) criteria for accepting hadiths. they criteria is if it fits in to their beliefs its good. they dont even have a concept of ‘sahih’
theres many many quran ayats they point blank refuse to accept aswell
each individual can have his/her own personal beliefs but the shia religion (eg ahle tashi) is designed to be at odds with the sahaba ra, and something which you will hear very little of- they detest ahle sunnah (view all sunnis as nasibis, kaffirs)
dictionary the word ‘apostate’
the basic twelver belief from which cursing comes from:
** VILIFICATION AND APOSTASY OF THE SAHABAH (R.A)*
The Sahabah were guilty of willfully distorting and corrupting the Deen of Muhammad (SallALLAHo Alayhi Wasallam). They turned renegade after the demise of Nabi (SallALLAHo Alayhi Wasallam) except the immediate household of Nabi (SallALLAHo Alayhi Wasallam).
(nauzubillah)
you are joking right? you are probably making the mistake of giving the benefit of doubt and aligning them onto islamic beliefs without proper knowledge of their beliefs but only two schorlarly opinions exist among them (ahle tashi twelvers the most common group) 1 the quran is corrupt 2 the quran is in wrong order (corrupt)
shia (twelver) belief:
** THE INTERPOLATION OF THE NOBLE QURAN*
The Quran is incomplete and distorted in its present form. This tenet had been explicitly propounded by the classical scholars of Shiaism, but frugally denied by the contemporary scholars.
if any shia individual believes in the quran with the full respect the quranpak deserves than i would congratulate them. i hope they do but merely spoken words coming from a shia are not to be accepted due to the taqqiyah belief. for indepth comprehensive insight into taqqiyah see the gift2shias article
