Are Shias Kaafirs?
By the editor-Al-Balagh,
P.O.B. 1925, Lenasia 1820, South Africa.
The
mullahs and their henchmen, who have NOTHING BETTER TO DO IN LIFE,
have now found a new playing game - that of calling our Shia
brothers as "Kaafirs." Allah (SWT) tells us in the Qur'an that we
must NOT call any Muslim a "Kaafir" (Qur'an, 4: 94); our
Beloved Rasoolullah (S) has expressly forbidden us from calling
fellow-Muslims as "Kaafirs." But these petty, puny priests, these
intellectual pygmies of the Muslim world, have taken upon themselves
the HUGE burden of deciding WHO is a Muslim and who is not - thus
relieving the Almighty of His responsibility, and at the same time
overriding and over-ruling our Nabi's express injunction!
On
Fridays and other occasions, these priests distribute their regular
pamphlets attacking the Shias as Kaafirs. Their newspapers (Ar-Rasheed,
Majlis, Sautul Islam, etc.) are invariably full of hate - articles
denouncing the Shias.
Imam
Khomeini was a so-called "Shia." Did any of our "Sunni" mullahs
achieve for Islam what Khomeini achieved? Our puny, pettifogging
priests are excellent at shooting their mouths, but they can do
NOTHING PRACTICAL for our Deen. The youth of today, and all
those who are Qur'an - and Prophet - lovers, who are lovers of LOGIC
and SOUND REASON, are simply FED-UP with these priests!
"AHLE-QIBLAH"
Some
500 years after the demise of the Prophet (S), the ulama/fuqaha of
that time decided to end their Takfeer preoccupation - (Takfeer =
calling Muslims as Kaafirs) - and declared finally that "LAA NAKFUR
AHADAN MIN AHLIL QIBLAH" ("We cannot brand anyone as a
"Kaafir" who is Ahle-Qiblah." That is, whoever faces the
Qiblah to perform his/her Salaat, CANNOT be called a "Kaafir.
May we
ask these bearded "men of God" the following question: "Do the
Shias face the WHITE HOUSE in Washington, DC or the BLACK HOUSE in
Makkah as their Qiblah when performing their Salaat?"
A
Hadith in Bukhari (reported by Abu Hurayrah) states: "Whoever
utters "LAA ILAAHA ILLAL-LAAH", has indeed entered Jannat." Let the
religiously cock-eyed priests tell us whether the Shias, who declare
and profess the SAME Kalimah as the Sunnis, will (according to this
Hadith) enter Jannat or not? Remember our Nabi (S) did NOT (repeat
NOT!) say: "Whoever utters LAA ILAAHA ILLAL-LAAH" has indeed
entered Jannat except the Shias."
We
call upon Muslims who truly love our Pure Deen of Islam, to become
militant, in the name of Allah (SWT) and His Beloved Messenger (S),
and ELIMINATE these PESTS, these MERCHANTS OF RELIGION who
grandiloquently call themselves "maulanas", "Sheikhs" and "Imams",
from our midst. The more we give our MISPLACED and MISDIRECTED
respect and attention to them, the MORE they sit on our heads! Let
us all do to them what Kamal Ataturk did to the mullahs of his
time. Only THEN will we have peace and tranquility in Muslim
society, and Islam will flourish and prosper once again.
Through
these priests, Islam has become the laughing-stock of the world.
Through these priests, Islam has taken a nosedive into degradation!:
Our
Nabi (S) has warned us and afforded us a clear-cut guidance as to
how we should behave towards our fellow-Muslims - of whatever
school of thought. He said: "THREE
Things
are the roots of faith: (1) Refrain from killing a person who utters
"There is no god but Allah"; (2) DO NOT declare him/her an
unbeliever no matter what sin he/she commits; (3) Do NOT
ex-communicate him/her from Islam for any of his/her action(s)."
(Narrated by Anas ibn Malik in SUNAN ABU DAWOOD).
