40 Basic Beliefs of the Shia Sect

In the name of Allaah the Most Benecient, the Most Merciful

Compilers Note

This kitaab 40 Beliefs is a very concise sample of thescholarly research of Hadhrat Imaam Ahlus Sunnat r!a" #hichhe done as an introduction of the Shia Sect!

$or many days friends have persisted that a conciseintroduction be %iven to the Ahlus Sunnah #al &ama'ahconcernin% the Shia Sect( so that those misconceptions #hich

are bein% created amon%st the Sunnis be removed! )anysimple( i%norant )uslims( merely because of i%norance believethe Shias to be an Islaamic %roup and treat them *ust as)uslims are treated( causin% many destructive evils to becreated! The perception of this need #as further intensi+ed#hen my patron and head Hadhrat )oulana Siddee, AhmadSaheb r!a"( the administrator of )adrasah &amiah ArabiyahHatorah district Baandah( ordered me #ith this task! Incompilation of this -itaab as far as possible I attempted to use

the phrasin% of Imaam Ahlus Sunnat r!a" instead of my o#nbut in some places because of a severe need I did other#ise!

Thus if any de+ciency is perceived it should be attributed to thede+cient kno#led%e of the compiler! I have taken most of thecontents of this -itaab from Takmilah Tambeehul Haaireen in#hich 40 important rules of the Shia Sect are mentioned!

It is hoped that after readin% this -itaab( the Ahlus Sunnah #al&ama'ah #ill have no trouble in understandin% the reality of the

Shia Sect( #hich is a %reat ob*ective for publication of this-itaab! )ay Allaah Ta'ala accept it and %rant the .mmat theability to %ain ma/imum bene+t! Aameen!)uhammed Abdul Aleem $aroo,iServant of arul )uballi%een 1uckno#23 ThulHi**ah 5677 Hi*ri

Belief 1

Badaa

Badaa is an Arabic #ord! In all dictionaries its meanin% is tocome to kno# somethin% unkno#n! In the 8uraan )a*eed this#ord is abundantly used in this meanin%!

The shias belief that Allaah Ta'ala %ets Badaa i!e! Allaahforbid" Allaah is i%norant! This belief is %reatly emphasised inthe shia sect and %reat re#ard has been promised from Allaah

Ta'ala for it! The Sinless Imaams mention that as lon% as theAmbiyaa A!S" are not made to testify to this belief they are not%iven prophethood! Also( the #orship of Allaah is not e,ual inany belief as in this belief! In .soole -aafy #hich is a veryauthentic book of the shia sect an independent chapter is foundre%ardin% Badaa! Belo#( from this very book pa%e 34 a fe#ahadeeth are been recorded concernin% the above mentionedbelief!

5" 9urarah Bin Aa'yun narrates from Imaam Baakir or Saadi,that the #orship of Allaah is not in anythin% as in Badaa!

2" )aalik &uhany narrates that he heard Imaam &a'+r Saadi, say:If people kne# #hat re#ard there is in ackno#led%in% Badaathen never #ould they abstain from ackno#led%in% it'

6" )ura;im Bin Hakeem narrates that I heard Imaam &a'+rSaadi, say :


3/28

he #irst, Imaam &a'+r Saadi, mentioned that Allaah Ta'alanominated my son Ismaeel for Imaamat after me! It should beclear that from amon%st the si%ns of an Imaam #hich arementioned in books of the shias is that an Imaam is born from

the thi%h and this verse is #ritten on his forehead ?our @abb's#ord is completed in truth and *ustice! Also( @asulullaahS!A!=" %ave Hadhrat Ali @!A" 52 sealed envelopes #hich

&ibreel Ameen brou%ht! Thus( it is necessary that Ismaeel #asalso born from the thi%h and the verse must be also #ritten onhis forehead! There must be in one envelope his name! Butremorsefully( Allaah never kne# that this capability is not inIsmaeel! Therefore Allaah had to announce that Ismaeel #ill notbe the Imaam( rather )usa -aathim #ill be the Imaam! Allamah

)a*lisy narrates in Bihaarul An#aar and )uha,,i, Tosee alsonotes this narration in


4/28

Badaa concernin% Abu )uhammed! That #hich #as unkno#nbecame kno#n! &ust as after the death of Ismaeel( Allaah %otBadaa re%ardin% )usa #ho made apparent the true reality(and this matter is *ust as you thou%ht even thou%h sinful people

dislike it and after me Hasan Askary is my successor'

Shia scholar$s confession re"ardin" the %elief ofBadaa

There remains no scope of denial after the true reality of

Badaa and its clari+cation is found in the books of shias!


5/28

interpretation proved to be inappropriate( the #eakness of#hich the )u*tahid Saheb perceived himself and then aftermentionin% an interpretation from Allamah )a*lisy he takespleasure! Hence( in Isti,saul Afhaam volume 5( on pa%e 60(

observe this te/t :And from amon%st the interpretations is thisthat these prophecies #here for comfortin% believers #ho #erea#aitin% the ease of the friends of Allaah and the %ainin% of theupper hand of the truth and people of the truth( *ust as thereare narrations concernin% the ease and victory of the Ahle BaitA!S"! If the Aimmah A!S" had to inform the shias in the verybe%innin% that the opposition #ill remain triumphant( thedi>culties of the shias #ill be severe and they #ill not %ainease but only after a thousand or t#o thousand years( they

#ould have become despondent and turn a#ay from the een!Thus( they informed their shias that the time of ease is comin%soon'

Also in .sool -aafy on pa%e 266 it is mentioned

:Hasan Bin Ali Bin ?a,teen narrates from his brother Husain #honarrates from his father Ali Bin ?a,teen that Abul Hasan said:$rom t#o hundred years shias #here %iven hope'! ?a,teen

Sunni" told his son Ali Bin ?a,teen shia" :=hat is the matterFThat #hat #e #ere promised #as ful+lled and that #hat yourImaams promised you has not been ful+lled'! Ali replied to hisfather :That #hat you #ere told and that #hat #e #ere told( allcome from one place! But( your promised time has come! Thus(you #ere told reality( it has been ful+lled! And our promisedtime never came! Thus( #e #ere entertained #ith hopes! If #e#ere told that this matter #ill not take place until t#o or threehundred years( then hearts #ould have hardened and mostpeople #ould have turned a#ay from een of Islaam! That is#hy the Aimmah for the sake of consolin% people's hearts saidthat this matter #ill very ,uick and very soon take place!'

The interpretation #hich becomes apparent from the abovepassa%e never +ts in those narrations #herein a certain matteris prophesied #ith a speci+c time and then that matter doesnot become apparent on its speci+ed time! Also( theseinterpretations have no eDect in those narrations #herein theImaamat of a speci+c person has been prophesied and contraryto the prophecy he does not become the Imaam or he dies


6/28

before that time! )oreover if #e accept these interpretations infavour of the shia scholars( the result #ould be that the reason#hy the prophecies of the Imaaams #here incorrect #as notbecause Allaah does not kno# the condition of the future( but

the actual reason is that the Aimmah made prophecies toconvince their shias and they said such thin%s to console them!If the shias #ere not convinced and consoled they #ould revert!

Belief '

(hen an"r&, Allaah can not di)erentiate %et!een afriend and an enem&

It is a belief of the shias that #hen Allaah is an%ry( then inan%er Allaah cannot distin%uish bet#een a friend and an enemyto such an e/tent that in an%er instead of enemies( Allaahcauses harm to friends! hC Gonder( is this suppose to be the%lory of AllaahF And can such a @abb be #orthy of believin% inF

It is narrated in .soole -aafy pa%e 262 from Imaam Baa,ir

Indeed Allaah had ordained this matter i!e! the appearance of

)ahdi for the 0 year after hi*ri! But( #hen Husain )ay Allaah'sblessin%s be on him" #as killed the an%er of Allaah becamevery severe on the people of the earth! Thus( the appearance of)ahdi #as delayed till 540 hi*ri! But #e informed you and youmade it famous( and you disclosed the secret!


7/28

Allaah feared the Saha%ah ./A of /asulullaah .SA(

Shias believe that Allaah feared the Sahabah @!A" of

@asulullaah S!A!="! That is #hy Allaah used to do many thin%s(hidin% it a#ay from Sahabah @!A"! Apparently( the shias out oftheir o#n ideas #ant to present the Sahabah @!A" asoppressors( but in actual fact they have not thou%ht of thehelplessness and suppression of Allaah that is proven in resultof it! It comes in Ihti*aa* Tabrsy that &anaab Ameer A!S" said:Allaah kept the name of his


8/28

Shias say that Allaah is not the creator of everythin%! This isalso a famous belief of the shias and is mentioned in theirbooks of beliefs! They say that Allaah is not the creator of both%ood and evil( because it is bad to create evil and Allaah does

not do bad thin%s! @ather( servants themselves are the creatorsof evil! Based on this there are numerous and countlesscreators!

Accordin% to the Ahle Sunnat Allaah is the creator of both %oodand evil! And it is not bad to create evil( rather it is bad tocreate #ithin oneself the ,uality of evil from #hich the bein% ofAllaah free!

Belief

Accordin" to the shias there are fundamentals of 5ufr inthe personalities of the Na%is

It is the belief of the shias that in the noble personalities of theAmbiya A!S" Allaah forbid" fundamentals of kufr are found!

In .soole -aafy( in the chapter concernin% the fundamentals of

kufr and its principles( there is a narration from Abu Baseer

:Imaam &a'+r Saadi, said that there are three fundamentals ofkufr! reed( pride and *ealousy! reed #as in Aadam! =hen he#as prohibited to eat from the tree( %reed prepared him untilhe ate from that tree! Gride #as in iblees! =hen he #as orderedto make sa*dah to Aadam he re*ected! And *ealousy #as in thet#o sons of Aadam! Because of this one killed the other!@evie# the above narration that ho# Hadhrat Aadam A!S" hasbeen e,ualled to iblees! ne fundamental of kufr is in iblees( inthat case one is also in Aadam A!S"! @ather the shias mentionHadhrat Aadam A!S" to be more evil than iblees( because theyhave proven only one fundamental of kufr in iblees i!e! prideand they have proven t#o fundamentals of kufr in Aadam A!S"!reed has already been mentioned in this narration! &ealousy ismentioned in another narration! Hence( it is mentioned inHayatul 8uloob volume 5( pa%e E0 that Allaah preventedAadam from bein% *ealous on the Aimmah of the Ahle Bait andsaid( Be#areC o not look #ith a *ealous eye at my li%hts(other#ise I #ill distant you from my nearness and dis%race you


9/28


10/28

they did not even convey the la#s of Allaah! Hence( on theoccasion of the far#ell Ha* @asulullaah S!A!=" #as ordered toannounce the direct -hilafat of Hadhrat Ali @!A"! But@asulullaah S!A!=" delayed it sayin% that my nation is still ne#

)uslims! If I %ive such an order concernin% my brother thepeople #ill be enra%ed! Then Allaah had to reprimand a%ainthat @asulC If you do not do such( you #ill not be relieved ofthe obli%ations of prophethood! n this also the @asul delayed!Lventually Allaah had to make an assurance of safety! Besidesthis( also after this assurance the @asul did not clearly convey!He said ambi%uous #ords! The limit is this( that only because offear he hid many verses of the 8uraan #hich neither anyonehas kno#led%e of to up this day( nor it can be %ained no#! $or

more details on this belief see L'madul Islaam( the #ritin% of)aul#y ildar Ali( a %reat mu*tahid of the shias"

Belief 8

Na%i .SA( use to reect the fa2ours of Allaah

This is also a belief of the shias re%ardin% the Ambiyaa thatthey use to re*ect the sent favours of Allaah! Allaah use to over

and over send favours to them but in no #ay they #ould acceptit! Lventually Allaah had to tempt them! In .soole -aafy( pa%e274 there is a lon% narration( the cru/ of #hich is( Imaam &a'+rSaadi, mentions that from the side of Allaah( &ibreel Ameencame to @asulullaah S!A!=" #ith the %lad tidin%s of the birth ofa child and said


11/28

The onlookers should ponder that #ho is this child and@asulullaah S!A!=" is not acceptin% the birth of #hom! And theshias put this slander on Hadhrat $atimah @!A"( that she #asnot pleased #ith martyrdom in the path of Allaah! =e seek

refu%e in Allaah from such thin%s!In the above mentioned incident the martyrdom of HadhratSayyiduna Husain @!A" is bein% re*ected! This belief of theshias is so stran%e!

Belief 10

Am%i&a .AS use to see5 remuneration from the

creation for their teachin"

It s a unanimous belief of the shias that the Ambiya A!S" usedto seek remuneration from the creation of Allaah for theirteachin% and they say that the master of the Ambiya S!A!="#as ordered in the 8uraan by Allaah to ask people pay for histeachin%! =e seek refu%e in Allaah! =hat an insult sho#n to theAmbiya A!S"!


12/28

meanin% of the abovementioned verse is


13/28

E" The composin% of the 8uraan )a*eed( also thearran%ement of the Aayats and Surahs has bein%tampered #ith!

)oreover no elo,uence and rhetoric has remained in the8uraan( it is not the miracle of @asulullaah S!A!="! @ather( it iseradicatin% the een of Islaam! In it there is dis%race to cient to %ain information on thistopic! compiler"


14/28

@asulullaah S!A!="! Hence( after the demise of @asulullaahS!A!="( Hadhrat Ali @!A" divorced Hadhrat Aaesha Siddi,ah@!A"! =e seek refu%e in Allaah from such thin%s!

Belief 13

Accordin" to the shias, the pure !i2es of /asulullaah.SA( are e


15/28

#ho endured %reat di>culties for the sake of eenK #ho #avedthe Ma% of Islaam from one corner of the #orld to the othercornerK #ho left their close and distant relations solely for thesake of een! Also( in praise of them( Allaah Ta'ala has revealed

numerous verses in the 8uraan )a*eed! But sorro#fully(accordin% to the shias( the entire %roup of the noble Sahabah@!A" are not #orthy of reliance! This is the very reason #hythe connection of shias has not remained #ith anythin% of theeen of Islaam!

Belief 16

Belief 18

he t!elfth Imaam disappeared

It is a belief of the shias that the 52th Imaam )ahdi hasdisappeared and is concealed in a cave( from #here( no time ofcomin% out is stipulated! This belief is so common that there isno need at all to %ive reference of any book! This is %enerally

mentioned in the books of shias!

Belief '0

he miracles of all the Am%i&a are %& the Imaams

@e%ardin% the Imaams the shias have this belief that they have

the miracles of all the Ambiya by them! The staD of )usa( therin% of Sulaimaan( Isme Aa;am and the army of &innaat etc etc!)oreover( they kno# the time of their death and the death ofthe Imaams is in there control! In .soole -aafy( -itaabulHu**ah( many ahaadeeth are found on this topic!

Belief '1

At the time of the mart&rdom of Imaam +usain ./A theAn"els misunderstood

It is mentioned in an authentic book of the shias( .soole -aafy(that at the time of the martyrdom of Hadhrat Husain @!A" theAn%els sou%ht permission from Allaah to help Hadhrat Husain@!A" and the An%els thou%ht that no# by Allaah %ivin% uspermission to help Husain( #e #ill de+nitely %et the opportunityto help! But sorro#fully so much delay took place by the An%elsin comin% from the sky to the earth that Sayyiduna Husain @!A"#as martyred( #hen the An%els #ent back and complained toAllaah! So Allaah Ta'ala told the An%els that %o sit and lament


17/28

at the %rave of Husain( #hen Husain #ill rise from the %ravethen you should help him!

This entire incident is narrated in .soole -aafy( pa%e 54(

chapter Nerily the Aimmah never do anythin% e/cept #ith apromise from Allaah( from Imaam &a'+r Saadi, i this manner

:The An%els sou%ht permission from Allaah to help HadhratHusain( so Allaah %ave them permission! Hence( the An%elsstarted %ettin% ready and started preparin% e,uipment for #ar!In the meantime Hadhrat Husain #as martyred! Then theAn%els descended from the sky( #hile the life of Husain #as+nish and he #as already martyred( on #hich the An%els told

Allaah( that AllaahC ?ou %ave us permission to descend fromthe sky and help Hadhrat Husain! But #hen" #e descended(?ou took hold of his soul! Then Allaah sent revelation to theAn%els( that An%elsC" remain at the %raveside of Husain tillyou see Husain comin% out of the %rave! At that time you"should help him presently keep cryin% over him"'!Gonder over the above mentioned belief in the li%ht of thisnarration( then such thin%s #hich are contrary to the intellect#ill be kno#n( #hich besides the shia sect no sect is ready to

accept!

Belief ''

A stran"e ad2ice of /asulullaah .SA( for +adhrat Ali./A

It is a belief of the shias that @asulullaah S!A!=" advisedHadhrat Ali @!A" that AliC -eep on bein% patient even thou%hthe 8uraan is distorted( the -a'abah is ra;ed to the %round andyour honour is ruined! This is the very reason #hy the 8uraan#as distorted in the times of Hadhrat Abu Bakr @!A"( Hadhrat.mar @!A" and Hadhrat .thmaan @!A"( but Hadhrat Ali @!A"remained silent and he never ob*ected to anythin% that #asa%ainst the Shariat in the time of the Three -halifas @!A"!Asta%+rullaah!

Belief '-


18/28

+adhrat Ali ./A$s actin" a"ainst the ad2ice of/asulullaah .SA(

It is already kno#n from the previous belief that accordin% to

the advice Hadhrat Ali @!A" had to patient over everythin%!But( after the martyrdom Hadhrat .thmaan @!A"( Hadhrat Ali@!A" fou%ht a%ainst Hadhrat Aaesha @!A" and Hadhrat)ua'a#iyah @!A" only because they intended to populari;ematters a%ainst Shariat! This is #orth ponderin% that in thetime of the Three -halifas @!A" the 8uraan #as distorted( aninnovation like Tara#eeh #as started( an Ibadat like )uta'h #asmade Haraam( but Hadhrat Ali @!A" remained silent! =hereasHadhrat )ua'a#iyah @!A" #e seek refu%e in Allaah" #as not a

bi%%er criminal than Abu Bakr and .mar @!A"( but Hadhrat Ali@!A" #as prepared to #a%e #ar a%ainst him! This belief is socommon that it does not need more e/planation!

Belief '4

+adhrat Ali ./A ne2er had condence on his arm&

Shias believe that the three khalifas before Hadhrat Ali @!A"

dischar%ed matters #hich #ere in conMict to the Shariat( butsolely because of the fear of his army bein% separated he didnot point out to those matters #hich #ere in conMict to theShariat! Hence( in .soole -aafy( -itabur @audah( on pa%e 27 itappears

:The rulers before me done such thin%s in #hich theyintentionally opposed @asulullaah S!A!="( they broke the la#sof the @asul and they chan%ed the Sunnat of the @asul( and if Iincline the people to#ards forsakin% those la#s and then I do itin its ori%inal form i!e! in the manner it #as in the time@asulullaah S!A!="( my army #ill distant from me'

The cru/ of the above narration is that Hadhrat Ali @!A" hadsuch an army Allaah forbid" that if the complete een #as tobe put in front of them they #ould be out of the control ofHadhrat Ali @!A"! )oreover( the ob*ective of Hadhrat Ali @!A"#as not the fervour to spread een( rather he consideredamassin% an army to be superior to een!


19/28

Belief '3

Shias ha2e no o%ection on the di)erences of thecompanions of the Aimmah

Shias %reatly honour the companions of their homemadeImaams! espite that the Imaam #as alive they had *ointdisputes( but those disputes #here not lifted! It came to thee/tent that speech and salaam #as %iven up but accordin% tothe shias none of those companions of the Aimmah are at fault!

They believe all to be %ood and they accept them! n thecontrary they do not at all honour the companions of@asulullaah S!A!="! If any dispute took place amon%st

themselves( and this also after the demise of @asulullaahS!A!="( then accordin% to the shias it is e/tremely necessary tospeak ill of one %roup in contrast to the other!

=hen the shockin% diDerences of the companions of theImaams are presented to the shias( then they dod%e it sayin%:It is not far fetched of the mercy of Allaah that throu%h themediation of so and so Imaam this sin is for%iven'

$rom this belief this can be understood that the shias have noconnection #ith Hadhrat


20/28

stran%e that they have truthfulness( trust and loyalty in them(and those people #ho accept you( they do not have in themtruthfulness( trust and loyalty! The narrator says" Hearin% thisImaam &a'far Saadi, sat up strai%ht and an%rily turned to#ards

me and said There is no een for that person #ho accepts anImaam #ho is not from Allaah's side( and the person #hoaccepts an Imaam #ho is from Allaah's side( there is noreproach on him

=e come to kno# from the above mentioned narration of.soole -aafy that in the time of the Imaam those #ho #herethe follo#ers and companions of the Imaam they did not have#ithin them trust( truthfulness and loyalty! @ather all these

,ualities #here present in the Ahle Sunnat! If this condition ismentioned of the people in the time of the Imaam then #hat#ould be the condition of the present day people!

8iyaas -un 9a ulista )an Bahaar )ira

And more surprisin% is that the companions of the Aimmahused to accuse their Imaams and made it their habit to falsifythem! The books of the shias are +lled #ith many narrations on

this topic! Hence( a very detailed narration is mentioned onpa%e 566 of @i*aal -ashy( #hich is a very authentic book ofthe shias sect! By studyin% it( it could be estimated that #hatlies the companions of the Aimmah attributed to their Imaamsand then #hat stron% curses the Imaams made on them!

Belief '6

he companions of the Aimmah neither ac=uired fromthe Aimmah the principles of 9een nor the %ranches of9een !ith con2iction

The shias also have this belief re%ardin% the companions oftheir Aimmah that they neither ac,uired from the Imaams theprinciples of een nor the branches of een #ith conviction!


21/28


22/28

In the reli%ion of the shias to lie is a very splendored act of#orship #hich the shias have prescribed its name asTa,iyyah! By seein% the books of the shias it becomes kno#n

that in speakin% Ta,iyyah i!e! lies" #hat %reat re#ards thereare! In this most lofty #orship( 7P50 portions of een ismentioned!

It comes in .soole -aafy( pa%e 435

:Imaam &a'far Saadi, said that from 50 portions of een(Ta,iyyah is 7 portions and the person #ho does not makeTa,iyyah is irreli%ious! And Ta,iyyah is in everythin%

besides nabeeth and makin% mash on socks'!

It comes in .soole -aafy( pa%e 434

:Imaam Baa,ir A!S" said that Ta,iyyah is my een and theeen of my fore fathers! And the person #ho does not makeTa,iyyah is irreli%ious'!

Shia scholars make this attempt that the meanin% of Ta,iyyah

is not to speak lies and re%ardin% this they attempt to present alot of interpretations( but based on those narrations #hereinthe meanin% of Ta,iyyah points out to lies nothin% %oes their#ay! As an e/ample( vie# this! It comes in .soole -aafy( pa%e434

:Imaam &a'far Saadi, A!S" said that Ta,iyyah is from theeen of Allaah! The narrator says that I said" =hat( is it fromthe een of AllaahF The Imaam said ?es( by Allaah( it is fromthe een of Allaah and undoubtedly ?usuf 4said that peopleof the caravanC ?ou are thieves( #hereas( by Allaah( they neverstole anythin%! And Ibraheem said that I am sick( #hereas( byAllaah( he #as not sick'

In this hadeeth the virtue of Ta,iyyah is kno#n and it alsobecomes kno#n that Ta,iyyah is a habit of the )essen%ers!

4This is an accusation on Hadhrat ?usuf A!S"! He de+nitely never told the people of thecaravan that they are thieves! This is only mentioned in the 8uraan Shareef i!e! anannouncer announced that people of the caravanC ?ou are thieves! )oreover the

announcer accordin% to his thou%ht %ave a true announcement! As for the incident ofHadhrat Ibraheem A!S"( then de+nitely he said himself to be sick and in actual fact atthat time he had the sickness of distress and %rief!


23/28

Also( it became apparent that Ta,iyyah is to lie( because oneperson has not stolen( but he said himself to be a thief! And oneperson #as not sick( but he said himself to be sick! Thementioned Imaam Saheb says this very thin% to be Ta,iyyah

and every person in the #orld calls it lies!

This belief and its proofs are mentioned so plentifully in thebooks of the shias that if presented( a voluminous book couldbe compiled( because the dependence of the shia reli%ion is onthis and on the like of such illo%ical ideas( #hich no one in the#orld is ready to accept!

Belief '8

It is e

are alone at any place and they a%ree to adultery( for #hichthere are no #itnesses also( then there is no harm! Hence( in$urooa'e -aafy( volume 2( -itaabun

26/28

be sacri+ced upon you( you order us to #ear trousers and youemphasis upon it( but you yourself took oD your trouser'! TheImaam said :on't you kno# that the lime has covered theSatr'!

Belief -4

It is permissi%le to do unnatural acts !ith !omen

It is a belief of the shias that there is no #ron% in doin%unnatural acts #ith ones o#n #ife! This belief is very clearlymentioned in all their books! And more astonishin% is that theyprove this dis%ustin% act from a verse of the 8uraan! =e seek

refu%e in Allaah from such thin%s"!

Belief -3

Sadah ilaa!at and ana>ah Namaa> is permissi%le!ithout (udhu and !ithout husul

Accordin% to the shias there is no #ron% in makin% Sa*dahTilaa#at and &ana;ah


27/28

It is a belief if the shias that the Aimmah used to *oin in the*ana;ah namaa; of their enemies and instead of dua'a forfor%iveness they used curse them( and they used to teach their

disciples and follo#ers the very same! A very lon% hadeeth ismentioned in $urooa'e -aafy( volume 5( pa%e 77( the cru/ of#hich is :Imaam Husain #ent to the *ana;ah of a hypocrite! nthe #ay one of his slaves met him! The Imaam asked him:=here are you %oin%F' He said :I am runnin% a#ay from the
