Shia or Sunni - Simple Proof

Which religion is right - Shia or Sunni?

There are a lot of books to answer this question, among them are Alghadir, Almurajiat and Nights of Peshawar. However there are several simple proofs for Shia which every Muslim without prejudice will accept them.

Five simple questions from Sunni brothers

There is a common narration from Sunni and Shia sources that says: everyone who dies and he does not know the Imam of his time, dies the death of ignorance. 

Question #1: Did Fatima (SA), know Imam of his time or not? If she did not, she is died in ignorance, NauzoBillah, and if she did, her Imam was Ali (as) not Abubakr. So Fatima was Shia. 

Sunni brothers say that the leader must be chosen by a council and shia say that the prophet appointed and mentioned all 12 Imams.

Question #2: Which council appointed the second caliph? Second caliph was appointed by Abubakr not a council! while Aboobakr was appointed by council of 13 people

There is a reliable Hadith from Shia and Sunni sources that says: Caliphs after the prophet (pbuh) are 12 (Twelve successors Hadith). 

Question #3: What are your 12 Imams? Count them and you can not find twelve Imams in Sunni Muslims while shia have exactly twelve Imams

Sunni Muslims, take their religion from four Imams: Imam Malik, Imam Shafi’i, Abu-Hanifeh and Ahmad-ibn-Hanbal. 

Question #4: These four imams you have, lived in what century? And what is their relation with the Caliphs? The Shia Imams are their Caliphs as well. But you have four caliphs and four imams who lived almost 100 years after Khulafa.

Shia Muslims have thousands of prayers and Monajats from their twelve Imams available in several books like Mafatih Aljanan, Sahife Sajjadiey, Almoraqibat, etc. 

Question #5: How many prayers, hymns or praise of the Lord you have quoted from your first three Caliphs or your 4 Imams? Count them and you will find nothing countable.

Now decide, Shia are wrong or Sunni? Unfortunately some extremist Muslims like ISIS say that shia are Kafir! and killing them has the reward of paradise! while grand Sunni scholars like Sheikh Shaltoot have confirmed Shiite as a true Islamic religion.

Night of Qadr - Shia Islam

Tomorrow night, Ramadhan 23, is the most probable night of Qadr according to Shia documents. In this night we should be awake during night and pray for ourselves and the others. There are several doings listed in Mafatih book which we should perform in this night. The best action is praying for muslims, including ourselves, our parents, etc.

Pay attention to your own wishes, the wishes of your country; the patients, the disabled veterans, the grieved, the worried eyes, the need of the people around you, in your country, in the world of Islam and on the planet earth. On the Night of Qadr, ask God to make all these wishes, every single one of them, come true. (Imam Khamenei 2/17/2000)

Condolencecs on martyrdom of Imam Ali

Condolences on martyrdom of the first Imam of Shia Muslims, Imam Ali (as) AmiralMomenin (the grand leader of believers). He were hit on head by sword of Ibne Muljam (may Allah damn him) while in Sajdah of Morning prayer.

There is a narration which says that Imam Ali would give food to the orphans with his own hands so many times that once someone said we wished we were orphaned too so that Imam Ali would indulge us so much!  He would pay visits to the poor and the needy and the troubled and the stranded so often and so incognito that it is commonly said that it was only after he was stabbed that they just began to realize who that merciful person who would visit them and they never new him! (Ayatollah Khamenei, 31/12/1999)

A narrations from AmirAlmomenin Imam Ali (as) about thinking:
Make your heart alive by thinking and wake up at night (for worship) and be fearful of Allah, your lord

Why do Muslims Fast during Ramadan

All Muslims, Shia and Sunni, fast during the month of Ramadan (Ramazan), i.e. they eat something, called Sahari, before Azan of morning prayer (about 1:30 hour to sunshine) and then don't eat anything during daylight hours until Azan Maghrib (about 15 minutes after sunset). They also must not drink, have intimate relations, swim, etc. After Azan Maghrib, they break their fast (Iftar).

Now, the question is Why do Muslims Fast during Ramadan?

Simple answer is that it is Wajib(obligatory) in Islam for healthy adults according to Quran(2:183):

O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -

However, it has several advantages which some of them are described in Hadith of Miraj in where the prophet Muhammad(pbuh) ascended to the heaven and talked with Allah:

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) asked Allah: O God! What is the start of worship? He said: start of worship is fasting and silence. My Lord! What is the effect of fasting? Said: fasting leads to wisdom and wisdom leads to knowledge and knowledge leads to certainty; and when a person comes to the position of certainty, it’s no matter, his life is easy or difficult
Part of Hadith Meraj, BiharAlanvar, V 74, P 27

Arabic and Farsi translations

Islam Opinion about Jesus Christ

Quran (or Qoran) is the holy book of Muslims which is sent down to the prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Its content is not changed during more than 1400 years. Here you can find the opinion of Islam about Jesus Christ and the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. The following sentences are taken from Quran:

They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers. 5:72

They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the third of three (Trinity)." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. 5:73

So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 5:74

The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded. 5:75

Salavat for every day of Shabaan

In the name of Allah
It is reported through authentic sources that Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussein (AS)  used to recite the following Salavat every day in Sha`ban at the time sun passes the merdian (waqt-e-Zawal) and on the night of 15th Sha`ban.  The salawat is as follows:

In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful.
O' Allah! Bestow Your blessing on Muhammad and his progeny-the tree of prophet hood and  the trustees of the (Divine) Mission;
, the place of visits of the angels, the mine of Your Knowledge and the people of the Holy House of revelation.
O` Allah I Bestow Your blessing on Mohammad and his progeny who are a boat sailing in the deep waters of fathomless sea.  Safe is he who boarded it and drowned is he who discarded it.  Those who went ahead of them were misled and those legged behind them were ruined and those who adhered to them were united with them.
 O` Allah! Bless Mohammad and his progeny who are the strong refuge, rescue for the distressed and the helpless, shelter for the fugitives and protection.
O` Allah! Bless Mohammad and his Progeny with plenty of Your blessings which should please them and grant them their due and it should be fulfilled with Your might-O` the Lord of the Worlds!
O Allah: (please do) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad--
the pure, the pious, the righteous whose rights have been made incumbent upon us by You
and the obedience to whom has been deemed obligatory upon us by You and whose (divinely commissioned) leadership has been (also) deemed obligatory upon us by You.
O` Allah! Bless Mohammad and his progeny and embellish my heart with obedience to You and disgrace me not with disobedience to You and bless me with tenderness for one struck with poverty from Your sustenance for You have blessed me with affluence in livelihood and because You have displayed Your justice on me and bestowed life on me to live under Your shade.
And this is the month You have attributed to Your Prophet the chief of Your Prophets month of Sha`aban You have encompassed it with your mercy and pleasure.
The Messenger of god used to keep vigil in devotion during its nights and observed fasts during its days humiliating himself before You honoring and respecting it till his departure from this World.
O` Allah! Help us in following his life pattern and in achieving his intercession.
O` Allah! Appoint him as an intercessor for me and his intercession is accepted by You and appoint him to show us a simple path towards You and make me his follower till I meet You on the day of resurrection in a state that You be pleased with me ignoring my sins for You have prescribed mercy and pleasure from you and my entertainment a peaceful abode and the abode of virtuous people

Stop War On Yemen

Its about 50 days that another war is conducted by the puppets of USA and Israel in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia started a child killing war on a great nation, Yemen, only because they said no to alien interventions and decided to make an independent Islamic country.

Just like the other cases in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, the US, EU and some Arab media started the propaganda that we want to return the legal government to Yemen and repel the Houthi rebels!! However Iran is making intervention in Yemen and prevent us from peaceful operations in Yemen! Another joke :)

The truth is that everyday tens of children and women are killed in Yemen and eyes of media are closed on them because no country must wake up and ask for independence. All countries in the world must be under supervision of America (they still think they are a sheriff!) and if some country like Iran or Yemen take another scenario they must be imposed with sanctions or war!

A common attribute of all countries under attack is that they are Shia Muslims (Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Bahrain) and  USA fears from Shia Muslims. They experienced a Shia revolution in Iran by Imam Khomeini in 1979 which is standing against arrogance for about 37 years. Neither 8-year war stopped them nor hard sanctions. They fear that another Islamic revolution take places in Yemen, Bahrain, etc.

Martyrdom of Fatima Zahra (SA)

Today on 3 Jamadi Alsani 11 AH, the second Khalif and some others attacked the house of Fatima (sa) the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (sawa) and the greatest Lady of both world. They fired the door of her house and pushed it while Fatima was behind it. She hardly injured and her son, Mohsen, were aborted. After a while she martyred and according to her will, Ali (as) washed, shrouded and buried her holy body at night. Her grave is still hidden and will be appeared at the time of appearance of her grand son, Imam Mahdi (aj).

The Prophet (sawa) said, "Fatima is part of me. Whatever upsets her upsets me, and whatever harms her harms me." Sahih Muslim, v. 5, p. 54

Deep Condolences on martyrdom of Hazrat Fatima Zahra(sa).
