"CALL THOU (all mankind] unto thy Sustainer's path with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the most kindly manner- for, behold, thy Sustainer knows best as to who strays from His path, and best knows He as to who are the right-guided. Hence, if you have to respond to an attack (in argument], respond only to the extent of the attack levelled against you; but to bear yourselves with patience is indeed far better for (you, since God is with] those who are patient in adversity. Endure, then, with patience (all that they who deny the truth may say] -always remembering that it is none but God who gives thee the strength to endure adversity -and do not grieve over them, and neither be distressed by the false arguments which they devise: for, verily, God is with those who are conscious of Him and are doers of good withal!

Honour of household of Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him]

Honour of household of Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him]
There are over 1.5 Billions Muslims in the world, the number is growing at fast pace. The majority Muslims follow Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him], they love the Prophet, all members of his his household and companions. Muslims concentrate on practising Islam, rather than sectarianism, specially youth do not have much knowledge about beliefs and practices of Shias [a minority sect of 10-12%]. Taking advantage of this ignorance and exploiting their extreme love for the household of Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him], the Shia's have launched a well organised campaign to pollute the minds of simple Muslim youth about the pious companions, especially against first three Rightly Guided Caliphs [may Allah be pleased with them] for conversion. They are unaware that some members of the Prophetic Household (the Ahlel Bayt) have been abandoned and forsaken by the Shia. This includes the Prophet’s wives–Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) and Hafsa (رضّى الله عنها)–as well as his daughters: Zaynab (رضّى الله عنها), Ruqayyah (رضّى الله عنها), and Umm Kulthoom (رضّى الله عنها). It is evident that the Shia propagandists have slandered the Prophet’s wives and have even denied the existence of three of his lovely daughters. It is for this reason that true Muslims should defend the honor of the Ahlel Bayt, pious companions [Sahabah] and to become the intellectual vanguard of Islam. The Ahlel Bayt were never Shia, but rather were always part of the mainstream Islam.
How could the Ahlel Bayt be Shia when Allah says in the Quran:
The Complete Din: According to all available Traditions based on the testimony of the Prophet's contemporaries, the following passage [5:3]sets, as it were, a seal on the message of the Qur'an - was revealed at 'Arafat in the afternoon of Friday, the 9th of Dhu'l-Hijjah, 10 H., eighty-one or eighty-two days before the death of the Prophet. No legal injunction whatsoever was revealed after this verse: and this explains the reference to God's having perfected the Faith and bestowed the full measure of His blessings upon the believers. Man's self-surrender (Islam) to God is postulated as the basis, or the basic law, of all true religion (din): This self-surrender expresses: itself not only in belief in Him but also in obedience to His commands: and this is the reason why the announcement of the completion of the Qur'anic message is placed within the context of a verse containing the last legal ordinances ever revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
Bid'ah [Deviation]: Bid'ah is any type of reprehensible innovation [Bid'ah], batter translated as 'deviation' in Islam. Though new discoveries in worldly matters, such as science, medicine and technology are acceptable and encouraged, Bid‘ah within the religion is often seen as a sin or innuendo [an indirect or subtle, usually derogatory implication in expression; an insinuation], and the Prophet, Muhammad, [pbuh] stated as such:
Islam to Destined to Prevail: "He it is who has sent forth His Apostle with the [task of spreading] guidance and the religion of truth, to the end that He may cause it to prevail over all [false] religion - however hateful this may be to those who ascribe divinity to aught beside God."[Qur'an;9:33]

Sheikh Saaleh al Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) said: In reality, they (the Rafidah) are actually from the JEWS, they manifested Islam but acts of disbelief appeared from them, and at the end, their rulers actually claimed uloohiyyah (divinity), such as Al-Haakim al-Ubaydi.
Sheikh Muhammad Bin Ibraaheem (rahimahullaah) said: The trusted scholars of the ummah have never ceased to revile them (the Rafidah) in their deen and their genealogy, and they mention that they are from the offspring of the magians or the jews.

“…and be not amongst those who join gods with Allah, those who split up their Religion, and become shias (sects) - each party rejoicing in that which is with itself.” (Quran, 30:31-32)
It is regrettable to exploit the memory and love of the Ahlel Bayt among Muslims, in order to schism into various sects, against the Command of Allah. The Ahlel Bayt were true monotheistic [tawheedeen] who would never split into sects.
Under such an environment it is imperative to educate ourselves, and the youth about the truth of Islam by segregating the distortion of theology and the history from the Din Al-Islam preached and practiced by the Prophet and his pious companions including Ali ibn Talib. Muslims love the household of Prophet [pbuh] than Shia who orally claim, but in practice contradict. It is not intended to launch a hate campaign, or indulge in sectarianism, however the facts have to be highlighted, even though they may appear bitter to some. It is hoped that this effort would have positive effects upon those who fear Allah and desire to follow the Din Al-Islam of Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] available in pure form in Qur'an and Sunnsh of Prophet [pbuh]. This is just the beginning of an effort, it is the responsibility of each individual to discern the truth form the falsehood, Allah says:
“O believers! You are accountable for none but for yourselves; anyone who has gone astray cannot harm you if you are on the

Distortion of Quran and formation of sects is prohibited:
“He is the One Who has revealed to you[O'Muhammad] the Book [Qur'an]. Some of its verses are decisive [muh-kamaat]- they are the foundation of the Book - while others are allegorical [mutashaabihaat]. Those whose hearts are infected with disbelief follow the allegorical part to mislead others and to give it their own interpretation, seeking for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. Those who are well grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it; it is all from our Lord." None will take heed except the people of understanding.” [Qur’an;3:7]
“Their doom is because Allah has revealed the Book with the truth; surely those who seek causes of dispute in the Book (The Qur'an) are in extreme schism (divergence).”(Qura’n;2:176)
"those who came after them, and who pray: “Lord, forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and do not put in our hearts any rancour towards those who believe. Lord, You are the Most Tender, the Most Compassionate.”"[Qur'an;59:10]
“Surely those who divide the religion into sects and identify themselves as a sect, O Muhammad, you have nothing to do with them. Their case will be called to account by Allah Himself, He will inform them as to what they did.”(Qura’n;6:159)
"The Arbiter is Allah and to Him is the return on the Day of Judgement...."Now leave this story of devastation about which there is hue and cry all round."[Ali Ibn Abi Talib (r.a) Sermon#161 , Nahjul Balagha]
“Their doom is because Allah has revealed the Book with the truth; surely those who seek causes of dispute in the Book (The Qur'an) are in extreme schism (divergence).”(Qura’n;2:176)
"those who came after them, and who pray: “Lord, forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and do not put in our hearts any rancour towards those who believe. Lord, You are the Most Tender, the Most Compassionate.”"[Qur'an;59:10]
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا لَّسْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُمْ إِلَى اللَّـهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿١٥٩﴾
مُنِيبِينَ إِلَيْهِ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿٣١﴾ مِنَ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ ﴿٣٢
“…and be not amongst those who join gods with Allah, those who split up their Religion, and become shias (sects) - each party rejoicing in that which is with itself.” (Quran, 30:32)
Shia claim to follow Ali ibn Abi Talib (رضّى الله عنها), but ignore what he Said:, recorded in the most revered Shia book Nihjul Balagha:
“With regard to me, two categories of people will be ruined, namely he who loves me too much and the love takes him away from rightfulness, and he who hates me too much and the hatred takes him away from rightfulness. The best man with regard to me is he who is on the middle course. So be with him and be with the great majority of Muslims because Allah’s hand of protection is on keeping unity. You should beware of division because the one isolated from the group is a prey to Satan just as the one isolated from the flock of sheep is a prey to the wolf. Beware! Whoever calls to this course [of sectarianism], kill him, even though he may be under this headband of mine.” [Ali (R.A) Sermon:126, Nahjul-Blgha]

" میرے بارے میں گمان کرنے والوں کی دو اقسام برباد ہو جائیں گے ،جو لوگ مجھ سے بہت زیادہ محبت کرتے ہیں اور محبت کی شدت ان کو سیدھے راستے سے سے دور لے جاتی ہے، اور وہ لوگ جو مجھ سے بہت زیادہ نفرت کرتے ہیں اور نفرت کی شدت ان کو سیدھے راستے سے دور لے جاتی ہے . میرے حوالے سے سب سے اچھے وہ لوگ ہیں جو درمیان کا راستہ اختیار کریں لہٰذا ان لوگوں کے ساتھ ہو جائیں اور مسلمانوں کی عظیم اکثریت کے ساتھ ہوجاؤ کیونکہ الله کے حفاظت اتحاد میں ہے . تم لوگ تفرقے سے بچو.جو گروپ سے الگ تھلگ ہوتا ہے وہ شیطان کا آسان شکار ہوتا ہے. جیسے جو بھیڑ گلے سے علیحدہ ہوتی ہے بھیڑے کے لے آسان شکار ہوتی ہے . ہوشیار! جو بھی اس راستے [فرقہ واریت کے] پر بلاتا ہے چاہے وہ میرے نام کے گروپ سے ہو اس کو قتل کرو.

شیعہ اصلاحات تحاریک
سید جمال الدین اسد آبادی وہ پہلے شخص تھے جنھوں نے اصل دین کی طرف واپسی کی تحریک چلائی اور فرماتے تھے : "ملت اسلامی کی بیماریوں کا واحد علاج یہ ہے کہ وہ خود کو صدر اول کے مسلمانوں کی طرح دین کے اصل قواعد کی طرف لوٹائیں۔ اصلاح شیعیت دراصل اہل تشیع مذہب میں پیدا ہونے والی وہ تحریک ہے جس کا آغاز آقای شیخ ابراہیم زنجانی کے دور سے شروع ہوا۔ آقای ابراہیم زنجانی کی 1895 عیسوی میں وفات ہوئی۔ آپ پہلی شخصیت ہیں جنھوں نے مکتب تشیع میں موجود خرافات و بدعات کے خلاف جدوجہد کا آغاز کیا۔ انہوں نے اپنی کتاب "خاطرات زنجانی" میں بہت سی رسومات اور اعمال کو جو اس زمانے کے اہل تشیع میں مروج تھیں غیر اسلامی قرار دیا۔ ان کے بعد آیت اللہ ھادی نجم آبادی نے اصلاح شیعت کی خاطر بہت سی کتب لکھیں جن میں سے "تحریر العقلاء" ان کی مشہور کتاب ہے۔ ان کے بعد آیت اللہ اسد اللہ خارقانی نے جو آیت اللہ ھادی نجم آبادی کے شاگرد تھے اصلاح تشیع میں نمایاں خدمات انجام دیں اور "محو الموھوم" نامی اعلی کتاب تصنیف کی جس کو بعد میں آیت اللہ طالقانی نے بھی شائع کیا۔ ان کے بعد ان کے شاگرد آیت اللہ شریعت سنگلجی نے اپنے استاد آیت اللہ خارقانی کی مشن کو آگے بڑھایا اور اصلاح تشیع کو پرزور اور ببانگ دھل آگے پھیلایا۔ آپ نے اہل تشیع عوام کو توحید کی طرف راغب کرنے کیلے "توحید عبادت یا یکتا پرستی" نامی کتاب لکھی۔ جلد ہی آپ نے قرآن فھمی کو عام کرنے کیلے "مفتاح القرآن" اور"براہین قرآن " نامی کتب لکھیں۔ اس کے بعد آپ نے شیعہ عقیدہ "رجعت" کے باطل ہونے کے متعلق"اسلام ع رجعت" نامی کتاب لکھی جو آپ نے اپنے شاگرد عبدالوہاب فرید تنکابنی کے نام سے شائع کیا۔ انہوں نے ایک اور کتاب "محوالموھوم" لکھی اور اس کو اپنے شاگرد "حسینعلی مستعان" کے نام سے شائع کیا۔ جس میں آپ نے یہ بات ثابت کیا کہ حضرت عیسی ع کی وفات ہو چکی اور ان کے علاوہ حضرت خضر اور الیاس بھی زندہ نہیں ہین۔ آیت اللہ شریعت سنگلجی کی شاگردوں میں احمد کسروی،علی اکبر حکمی زادہ ،سید جلال جلالی ،حیدر علی قلمداران اور ڈاکٹر صادق تقوی شامل ہیں جنھوں نے بعد میں اصلاح شیعت کے موضوع پر بہت سی کتب لکھیں،کاص طور پر علی اکبر حکمی زادہ کی کتاب "اسرار ہزار سالہ" تو بہت مشہور کتاب کے طور پر سامنے آئی جس کے جواب میں امام خمینی نے "کشف الاسرار" اور آیت اللہ خالصی زادہ نے بھی اس کتاب کے رد میں کتاب لکھی۔ مزید پڑھتے جائیں >>>>>>

The last Messenger Prophet [peace be upon him] did not bring any new message, he delivered the message of Monotheism [Tawheed], the message delivered by all the messengers of God form Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ [peace be upon them all]. He delivered the message clearly and completed his mission before his death. Allah says:
"Say: "Verily my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight a religion of right the path (trod) by Abraham the true in faith and he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah. "Say: "Truly my prayer and my service of sacrifice my life and my death are (all) for Allah the Cherisher of the Worlds: No partner hath He: this am I commanded and I am the first of those who bow to His Will."[Qur'an;6;161-163]
الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا ۚ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ فِي مَخْمَصَةٍ غَيْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لِّإِثْمٍ ۙ فَإِنَّ اللَّـهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٣﴾
"Do they seek for other than the Religion of Allah? While all creatures in the heavens and on earth have willing or unwilling bowed to His Will (accepted Islam) and to Him shall they all be brought back. Say: "We believe in Allah and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham Isma’il Isaac Jacob and the Tribes and in (Books) given to Moses Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord; we make no distinction between one and another among them and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)."[Qur'an;
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ ﴿٨٥﴾
"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ادْخُلُوا فِي السِّلْمِ كَافَّةً وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٢٠٨﴾ فَإِن زَلَلْتُم مِّن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْكُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّـهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ﴿٢٠٩﴾
"O ye who believe! Enter into Islam whole-heartedly; and follow not the footsteps of the evil one; for He is to you an avowed enemy. If ye backslide after the Clear (Signs) have come to you, then know that Allah is Exalted In power, wise."
"O ye who believe! fear Allah as He should be feared and die not except in a state of Islam."
'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger as saying: He who introduce deviations in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected.—Aisha, Translation of Sahih Muslim, Book 18: The Book Pertaining to Judicial Decisions (Kitab Al-Aqdiyya)
Narrated Aisha:Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody introduce deviations [Bid'ah] something which is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected."—Aisha, Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 49: Peacemaking
Similar statements are found in other verses of the Qur'an and other Hadith as well. Hence in a completed din Islam. there is no room to introduce new doctrine or practices.
The message of Islam is very clear, any new deviation by twisting the meanings of Qur'an or Hadith, will lead to the path of destruction, hence one has to be very careful, to discern the political history form the Din of Islam, completed and practiced by the Last Messenger Muhammad [peace be upon him] and his pious companions [Allah be pleased with them]. Any difference of opinion among the pious companions is the matter between them and Allah, we are nobody to judge them. We are commanded:

“If Thy Lord had so willed, He could have made Mankind one people: but They will not cease to dispute.”(Qur’an;11:118),“The One Who created death and life, so that He may put you to test, to find out which of you is best in deeds: He is the All-Mighty, the All-Forgiving.”(Qur’an;67:2)
The Root of Affirmation of ‘Islamic Faith’ is based on the conviction upon unity of Allah (Tawheed). In order to be a Muslim one has to believe in the Six Articles of Faith, which has been repeatedly mentioned in Qur’an at;24:62, 2:136,177,285, 4:136, 3:114, 4:78, 54:3, 17:99, 29:20, 64:67 and many other places.
The Islamic creed of confession (Shahada) is the verbal commitment and pledge to testify:
لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله
“La ilaha Illallah , Muhammad-ur- Rasul-Allah”
None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah
The ‘Five Pillars of Faith’ are the physical manifestation of combination of faith and practices, which are also the forms of worship (Qur’an;2:21, 43:64, 69:52); the first two; Shahada & Salah (prayer 5 times a day) are daily, next two Zakat (Charity, Alms) ) & Saum (fasting, during month of Ramadan) are annual and the last, Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah) is once in life if one can afford.
The six ‘Articles of Faith’ are orally confessed by the Muslims (believers), which should also be deep rooted, in the heart:
1) To affirm his/her belief in Allah (Single God).
2) To believe in His messengers (from Adam, Noah, Abraham to Moses and Jesus,25 mentioned by name in Qur’an), and Muhammad (peace be upon him) to be His Last Messenger for humanity.
3) His books, Qur’an and all scriptures revealed to His Messengers which also include the original Torah, Psalms (Zabur) and original Gospel (Injeel) to Jesus Christ (pbuh).
4) To believe in Al Ghaib [metaphysical creatures] like the angels, Jinns, etc.
5) Resurrection after death on the Day of Judgment, accounting and the scales, hell and paradise.
6) The good and evil of destiny are in the power of Allah, the Most High.
*********
Note:
If a Muslim fails to perform some of his obligations and is remiss in practice or commits some such actions as are forbidden, yet he firmly believes in the liability of all above obligations and the impropriety of all unlawful deeds, he will continue to be a Muslim though he will be a sinner: “On that Day, the scale of justice shall be established. Those whose scale of good deeds will be heavy, they are the ones who will attain felicity, and those whose scale is light, they shall find themselves in loss for they had done injustice to Our revelations.”(Qur’an;7:8-9). The sinners must repent: “Our Lord! we have wronged Our own souls: if Thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be lost”(Qur’an;7:23), “Then We have given the Book for inheritance to such of Our servants as We have chosen: but there are among them some who wrong their own souls; some who follow a middle course; and some who are by Allah’s leave foremost in good deeds; that is the highest Grace.”(Qur’an;35:32),“Whosoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be in the company of those whom Allah has blessed – the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous: What excellent companions they will be!”[Qur’an;4:69,( also,18:87-88)]
*************
Oneness of God: The God (Allah) is One and the Only One. He is not two in one or three in one. This means that Islam rejects the idea of Trinity or such a unity of God which implies more than one God in one.
Oneness of Mankind: People are created equal in the Law of God. There is no superiority for one race over another. God made people in different colors, nationalities, languages and tribes to recognize each other. No one can claim that he is better than others. It is only God Who knows who is better. It depends on piety and righteousness.
Innocence of Man at Birth: Muslim believes that people are born free of sin. It is only after they reach the age of puberty and it is only after they commit sins that they are to be charged for their mistakes. No one is responsible for or can take the responsibility for the sins of others. However, the door of forgiveness through true repentance is always open.
State and Mosque (Religion): Muslims believe that Islam is a total and a complete way of life. It encompasses all aspects of life. As such, the teachings of Islam do not separate religion from politics. As a matter of fact, state and religion are under the obedience of Allah through the teachings of Islam. Hence, economic and social transactions, as well as educational and political systems are also part of the teachings of Islam.
Jihad- Important Element of Faith (Ayman): Strenuous Efforts (Jihad) made sincerely for advancement of the cause of Allah, though not included among five pillars of Islam; but it is an important element of the Faith (ayman, Belief).(Qur’an;49:15). The aim of making Strenuous Efforts (Jihad) is three fold: The first and foremost is to; ‘Strive Against Selfish Desires’ (Nafs ammarah), to purify the heart, so that the faith (ayman) of Islam is deeply rooted in the heart, to become fully subservient to the commands of God and His Apostle Secondly, making strenuous efforts (Jihad) to convey the Last message of God (Islam) to the humanity(Dawah) called Bigger Jihad (Jihad Kabira)(Qur’an;25:52). Thirdly Jihad (warfare) is to be conducted by Islamic State to provide protection to Muslims and non Muslims against oppression. The specific word used exclusively for warfare is Qitaal(Qur’an;2:216-217) or Qatelu, wa-Qatalu (Qar’an;4 89-91). The warfare is to be conducted with in laid down Islamic principles. Killing of innocent people and creating mischief on earth (fisad fil ardh) for power and glory is not Jihad.
The Prophet (pbuh) & Household: Muslims extremely love the Prophet and his household, Allah says: “The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves and his wives are their mothers (Umuhatul Momineen)”(Qur’an;33:6). Hence they can not tolerate any blasphemy against them. The House Hold of the Prophet (pbuh), in addition to his wives also includes his daughter Fatima, her husband Ali Bin Abu Talib, their children Hassan and Husain. All the members of Household of Prophet(Ahl-ul-bait), were virtuous human being, they greatly contributed towards the cause of Islam. Prophet loved them all. Imam Hussein laid down his life for the just cause of Islam.
The Pious Companions of the Prophet (pbuh): The Prophet (peace be upon him) had rightly guided successors among his blessed companions, who followed his footsteps (Sunnah) to the best of their abilities in spreading knowledge, preaching Islam, and managing the affairs of Islamic State. The disputes that took place among the Prophet’s Companions were the result of sincere interpretations that they worked hard to reach. Whoever was right among them will be rewarded twice, and whoever was wrong among them will be rewarded once and his mistake will be forgiven. It may not be appropriate for any believer to criticize them rather they deserve of beautiful praise. (Qur’an;7:42-43, 57:10, 9:100 & 59:10).

Be it Known, That;
Islam [Surrender to the Will of God] is a universal message, which addresses all mankind. As such, it has something to say to every human being. Therefore, it does not hold anyone in disregard unless that person or group chooses to take a hostile attitude to Islam.
If one combines this with the fact that it is permissible for Muslims to marry Jewish or Christian women or eat their permissible food, it will be appreciated that Muslims do not reject anything simply for being Jewish or Christian.
Qur’an grants special status to Jews and Christian as “People of Scriptures” [recipient of earlier Revelations of God i.e. Torah and Gospel] and calls them to common grounds:
Say: "O followers of earlier revelation! Come unto that tenet which we and you hold in common: that we shall worship none but God, and that we shall not ascribe divinity to aught beside Him, and that we shall not take human beings for our lords beside God. "And if they turn away, then say: "Bear witness that it is we who have surrendered ourselves unto Him."(Qur’an;3:64)
Muslims do not take a hostile attitude towards any person, group, race or faith unless they begin by taking hostile attitude towards them or towards their faith, because Allah says:
“As for such [of the unbelievers] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, God loves those who act equitably. God only forbids you to turn in friendship towards such as fight against you because of [your] faith, and drive you forth from your homelands, or aid [others] in driving you forth: and as for those [from among you] who turn towards them in friendship; it is they, they who are truly wrongdoers! [Qur’an;60:8-9]
Islam has an argument, reason and proof for everything. A Muslim, therefore, is neither afraid of polemical dialogue nor avoids it. At the same level, Islam expects reason and proof form all those who claim to advance arguments against Islam: “Tell them; Bring forth your arguments (of what you state) if you are in the right”(Qur’an;2:111)

Rafidah, (Arabic: “Rejectors”), is broadly, used for Shia Muslims who reject (rafd) the caliphate of two successors of Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] Abū Bakr and Umar. Many Muslim scholars, however, have stated that the term Rafidah cannot be applied to the Shias in general but only to the extremists among them who believe in the divine right of Ali to succeed Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] and who condemn Abū Bakr and Umar as unlawful rulers of the Muslim community. To the majority of the Shias , who do not condemn immediate successors of Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] and only assert Ali’s right to the caliphate over Muāwiyah (the first Umayyad caliph), the term Rafidah is pejorative, coined by their opponents to cast the shadow of extremism on them.
Many Sunni scholars including Ibn-Taymiyah consider the fundamental doctrines of Shias in direct conflict with the teachings of Qur'an and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him], thus heretics. Shias are mostly criticized for giving divine attributes to the family of Ali and his Lineage which places them above the prophets of God. This has manifested itself in Shia prayers to saints and imams which is forbidden in Islam. It has been argued that they have turned Islam into cult that insults the prophet's closest companions and faith into an everlasting struggle for power and corruption. Scholars have since called them "Rafidah" which means those who refuse the truth and many no longer believe that Shia should be considered Muslims any more.
Sheikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said: The nifaaq and zandaqah (found) with the raafidah is more than that which is (found) with all the sects/groups. Rather, it is inevitable that every single one of them has an aspect of nifaaq. For indeed, the basis of the nifaaq that is founded upon lying, is that a man utters with his tongue that which is not in his heart just as Allah has stated about the Munaafiqoon. The raafidah consider this to be from the fundamentals of their religion and name it taqiyyah, and they relate this (on behalf) of the leaders of ahlul bayt, whom Allah freed from (all) of that. [Source: Minhaajus Sunnah 2/46]
It remains to be seen as to what is Shiaism? Cult, Heretics, Deviants, an Other Religion, Rafidah or merely an other sect of Islam? You decide, this site can only assist ........ explore .....
