View Full Version : Shia v/s Sunni: who's right
dhurandhar
November 25th, 2003, 12:24 PM
What I have read (from Allamah Tabatabai's book on Shi'ism) is that Prophet Muhammed had specifically mentioned Imam Ali as embodiment of Truth and the inheritor/successor after him because he was the first person with whom Muhammed revealed the Quran and Imam Ali volunteered to become the momeen (believer)...also in case of arbitration Muhammed said that out of 10 parts of arbitration..9 belonged to Imam Ali as he could do no wrong while 1 belonged to populace (shura)....
Inspite of this after Muhammed passed away.....Imam Ali was sidelined by Umar, Bakr et al and Islam was hijacked:D:D
So, I believe that Shi'ism is probably as close as real Islam could get and Sunni'ism is the heresy:D:D
Echarchans are welcome to post their rational thoughts..please provide links/references for your arguments:D:D

I am not asking for legal theories...I am asking for correct spiritual theory...in other words...do Sunni muslims agree that Prophet Muhammed chose Ali as his successor or not??
If not, why not? Budmaas please refer to proper source...:D
Because Sunni muslims try to do as Muhammed does rather than do what he says (i.e follow Imam Ali after I am gone).....I believe Sunni system is a deviation from real Islam...or heresy:D:D:D

Prophet Muhammed, as per my knowledge, did not appoint any successor. The decision of who would be his successor was made after his death where a council in Medina chose Abu Bakr as successor. This was accepted even by Ali. Therefore, a sunni system is in no way a deviation from real Islam.

that is Sunni side of the story.....Shia believe otherwise...it was because of Ali that Islam could manage to survive and thrive in Saudi Arabia and spread upto Iraq:D:D
One of the dark secrets about history of Islam is that Abu Bakr was scared senseless while hiding from polytheist marauders:D:D....on the other hand Imam Ali always took the most difficult tasks that even Muhammed would be scared to do...like Muhammed asking Ali to sleep in his bed while he would flee elsewhere so assasins would think they are going to murder Muhammed....:D

or alternatively speaking.....do you really believe that God can give commands or relay messages to a bunch of people (called sunnah)....or going by the religious norm (as in most religions) God chooses a particular person (a.k.a imam in the case for shi'a) for delivering messages or guidance to populace??

dhurandhar,
I just saw your PM.
This is the exact difference between shia and sunni. Shia people think that Prophet Muhammed specified Ali as the person who is suitable to manage things after him while sunnis think he has not determined anyone.
While most of the islamic world is covered by sunnis there are something arround 200-300 millions of shias living in Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan etc.
And I am not sure if you have quoted exact words of "Allame Tabatabaee" but he has been one of the most famous folks of shia which died about 15 years ago.

Yes, these are some of the reasons we shias believe Ali has really been Imam.
Some of his words (Complete lectures have been gathered in th old book "Nahjolbalaghe") :

Budmaas,
Real thing is that I really belive him (Ali). I really believe when Mohammad has taken care of Islam for so many years and he always used to ask muslims to write down something for relatives to read after your death then how is it possible that he has not thought about future of Islam after him.
He has left Islam and people for themselves after so much trouble, wars etc...? This is why we shias are sure that he has chosen someone to manage things.
For the reasons we shias think are firm enough we believe that person has bin Ali. His life has been full of things that makes me more sure of my opinion. "Oppose the oppressor and support the oppressed". This is the philosophy of Shia.
There is a cabala called "hadise Ghadire Khum" which quotes that at that day Prophet Muhammad told that Ali will be the person who will lead islam after him.
GHADIR : A festival of the Shi'ahs on the 18th of the month of Zu'l-HijjahThe festival is named Ghadir, "a pool", and the festival commemorates, it is said, Muhammad having declared 'Ali his successor at Ghadir Khum, a watering place midway between Makkah and al-Madinah.
This is what we shias believe in it but sunnis not.
This quote is the most fundamental thing which makes us believe into Ali being Imam and Shia being true.

Mac

I dont know how true it is but people used to whisper this during riots that whoever from hindus side were rioting were self-restrained from attacking Shias and Boharis as they are mild and less extreme than Sunnis (these are not my views :D). Even Shias and Boharis restrain themselves from participating into rioting activities.
Infact in our area only *one* muslim owned shop was not broken during riots and that was owned by Bohari !
This doesn't say whether Shias are better or sunnis are better but just my 2 cents.

Dear mac....no this was not what I expected....Budmaas is not even a muslim as per his acknowledgement...so don't worry about that:D
I am not a moderator...so once I start a thread I don't have control over it.
I respect your opinions as they come from somebody who believes or practices in Shi'ism....:D:D..but on this website its very unpredictable....threads get derailed depending on the general mood of the public or of the derailer...i myself have been guilty of that on several occasions:D:D:D
But atleast I made it clear that this was a intellectual type thread right from the start....what else could I do??

not to put my foot in my mouth! but u know dhurru, these shias who believe in "ALi" more then anything, how is it that they plotted against one of his SONS with kafirs to get him killed! i mean if YOU love someone then you wouldnt kill their sons would u! nice way of showing you love Ali! (peace be upon him!) :rolleyes:
and this is the reason shias "hit themselves" in muharamm the 9-11!!!!!
and Sunni is right and shia is wrong for the reason stated above. also Abu bakr (peace be upon him) was chosen because he was brave, he would sacrifice everything for God and His prophet (peace be upon him).
you know when Abu bakr and Prophet (peace be upon him) were hiding in a cave. there was a hole in a cave, and Abu bakr put his foot to cover the hole so that no insect can come in. and there was this snake who bit him and when Prophet (peace be upon him) found out he asked the snake why he bit Abu bakr (peace be upon him) and snake said he was stopping me from seeing you so i had to bit him. so Prophet (peace be upon him) put his saliva where Abu bakr (peace be upon him) was bitten and he became fine after that.
i am not sayin who was more brave Ali (pbuh) or Abu bakr(pbuh) if you look at the bravery alone, OMER (pbuh) was more brave. Prophet (pbuh) made dua to God that make either Omer (pbuh) or abu jandal Muslim as they were the powerful people of the time, and God chose Omer (pbuh) to be a Muslim!
in another: there was a time when people were required to make donations and Prophet (pbuh) called Omer (pbuh) and said what have u given and he replied i have left half of my property/money at home and half i have given as a donation. when it was turn of Abu bakr, he replied i have given everything except God and His Prophet (peace be upon him)
ALSO: disrespecting any PROPHET! is a bad thing! They all have their status, but that dont mean that one prophet is Worse or coward. the reason that they were all prophets were because they would do anything for GOD!
and as for sunni/shia debate: we are supposed to look for hadiths (these can also be narrated by other prophets such as Ali/Abubakr peace be upon them) and Quran to follow in our daily life, if we cannot find any then the ULMAs/IMAM who have immense knowledge can "make up". for example if there is nothing in hadith or Quran about taking photos, then these Imams can get together and make up! this is allowed. also even before doing this if we find prophets (abubakr.Omer etc) have actually said something about photos then we are supposed to act on that, then our Imam cant make up! (by making up i dont mean make up anything they feel like, as i said get together discuss and then following sunnah/hadith etc make up a reasonable solution)

December 12th, 2003, 12:22 AM
Also when Prophet (pbuh) asked Ali to sleep in his bed, do u know what Prophet (pbuh) said to Ali "SEE YOU TOMORROW" and ALi (pbuh) was happy because he knew that meant that there is NO WAY any one can kill him now.

and whoever said about ABubakr (pbuh) shitting his paints, is wrong as i have proved above! but please refrain from using this kind of rubbish! as it is hurtful! and in future if echarcha/moderator find this can they please remove that message! because how would u feel if i started slagging your (not moderators but the echarchan who post somethin bad about others religion) religion

where did you hear all these fairy tales??:D:D....all that you have mentioned is a false propaganda..fabricated to malign Shi'ism...not to be found in authentic texts or treatises on Islam:D:D
there never was nor there is going to be any Muslim braver than Ali...period:D:D.....It was only due to Ali that Islam survived in Arabia...Ali never stepped back nor conspired against his enemies...he just destroyed them...regardless of their size and prowess....even Sunni's have a war cry of Ya Ali....not Ya Bakr or Ya Omer:D:D
LB....to make a rational argument...these stories don't help...I agree that I went a bit too far describing Bakr as not quite brave...but this is exactly what I have heard from some Sunni's as well...may be its just hearsay:D

loverboy... i am not a musluim but i come from a muslim majority city in India. I find this thread rather interesting. if you think dhurandher or budmass are wrong prove it with sound reasons. They are proving their point of view and so you are. they are saying what they know. If you think they are wrong take this thread as an opportunity to convince them. Try not to loose your cool and still prove your point. this is an opportunity for you to enlighten us non muslims about something we dont know.

LB when someone dies in your family what you do go on the streets and celebrate? I don't think so. I believe that you sit at home and just cry in his rememberance and do some matam (may be).
The only reason shia's/bohri's beat themself is to morn for the death in family. I hope i made my point here.
And JFYI I follow Bohra religion which dose not either follow the footprints of shia's or sunni's although shia's and bohri's have lot in common but still there is some difference.

Shia abd sunni both are right and both are as good muslims as shivites and vaishnavites are good hindus....
Every sunni loves and respects Ahalal Bait or people who belong to the family of the prophet..every muslim say these words in his prayer....wa ala aali muhammadinv...meaning ......and of the family of muhammad.....all muslims ask to bless muhammad/ibrahim and their family...in these verses at least five times a day..
Allahuma salle aala muhammadivn wa ala aali muhammadivn innaaka hamidum majid...allahuma barikala ibrahim wa ala aali ibrahim innaka hamidum majid....
muslims know about the above...so there is no question of any loss of love or hatred for Imam Ali or Fatima or ayesha or Hasan or hussain..(Peace be on all of them)....
There are differences in all religions Islam also has...but Muslims are living with them for centuries now...there is agrowing movement for Ittehad or unity among various sects...but some people lead by Iblis always try to divert muslims from the main message..
I believe and I'am not a wahabi...that the message is important not the messenger,,,whether i mail you thru yahoo or hotmail does not matter as long as you get it.....its the junk mail which is annoying....and there are always people to send you junk mail..like the impotent man of echarcha...(no offense)

Good post Dhurru. (Bhat not :D waala)
Those who cursed those belonging to other sects or passed absurd comments reg. their beliefs in this thread are the chewtiyaas of highest order.
The most fascinating feature of this religion is the concept of universal brotherhood. This thread makes a mockery of it.
Muhammad (PBUH) said once 'A Muslim who considers another Muslim, anything but a Muslim , does not belong to my Ummah' (The words might be different, but the msg is the same. He was referring to the factions among the believers and he prolly foresaw the forthcoming divide).

Every sunni loves and respects Ahalal Bait or people who belong to the family of the prophet..every muslim say these words in his prayer....wa ala aali muhammadinv...meaning ......and of the family of muhammad.....all muslims ask to bless muhammad/ibrahim and their family...in these verses at least five times a day..
Allahuma salle aala muhammadivn wa ala aali muhammadivn innaaka hamidum majid...allahuma barikala ibrahim wa ala aali ibrahim innaka hamidum majid....
muslims know about the above...so there is no question of any loss of love or hatred for Imam Ali or Fatima or ayesha or Hasan or hussain..(Peace be on all of them)....
There are differences in all religions Islam also has...but Muslims are living with them for centuries now...there is agrowing movement for Ittehad or unity among various sects...but some people lead by Iblis always try to divert muslims from the main message..
I believe and I'am not a wahabi...that the message is important not the messenger,,,whether i mail you thru yahoo or hotmail does not matter as long as you get it.....its the junk mail which is annoying....and there are always people to send you junk mail..like the impotent man of echarcha...(no offense)
bhat....the question is why or how would God deliver message to multitude of people (Sunnah?) versus a chosen one (Imam?)
this is what it all boils down into...my question is quite fundamental.....in almost all religions the master chooses his successor...its not a democratic process...so why do you think Muhammed would leave a void??
did Muhammed specifically say that make a committee and decide for yourself....I believe its unlikely...as a true prophet Muhammed would never do that...and so I find it quite obvious that Muhammed would have chosen Ali because Ali never doubted Muhammed...also Ali had divine possessions....but to my knowledge nowhere it is mentioned that Bakr or Omar had such divine possessions....even Muhammed underwent divine possessions and that is how holy Qur'an was dictated to him or flowed out of him:D:D
as to LoverBoy's question....you don't own Islam..so if you don't have rationale in support of your statements..it just reflects you are just a sheep...as for me I care for TRUTH...no matter how hurt I get in the process or how much I hurt others...because eventually TRUTH prevails:D:D

Budmaas...I disagree with your opinion of myself:D:D
It would be more accurate to say that:
Dhurru - is another vagabond who has no relation with any religion except TRUTH. Exposing confusing/fraudulent/paradoxical issues & laughing at them is his job

first god never delivered message to any Imam.....that is the difference betweeen Imama and prophet....(if you think otherwise its your problem)
secondly Muhammad never chose anyone he left this decision to the sahabas whom he trusted....(if you think otherwise its your ego...)
Ali had no devine possessions kindly let me know what they are exactly if you think otherwise...
The truth of the matter is Islam is all about unity,consensus and fair ,justice ....which it acheived considering arabs where what they were before and after Islam..a much improved lot...this difference is very minute considering the massive bloody battles before.....
The truth is somewhere else..not in finding slightest of minus points in someone.....attacking Islam by finding faults in any human being will never succeed,Quran itself says about the drawbacks of human beings....it also says not to give status to any human being more than he deserves..not like god certainly...
so you find no images or photographs of these great sahabas or Imams.....they all beleived in one thing that.........The message of Islam is greator than any of them......be peace be on all of them...
Still dragging or cribbing about these..will make me think otherwise...about you....:D :D :D

religion is politics in the name of god.
mohammad (pbuh) started a great thing.If handled properly(a.k.a. Nehru/Gandhi dynasty) future generations of his 'successors' would have had been able to live comfortably for as long as the 'philosophy' survived (like Sydna,Aga Khan etc..)
So this 'effort' to be the 'true' followers of Mohammad (pbuh).
All religions have outlived their utility. Its time mankind moved ahead on UNIVERSALLY accepted principals and doctrines of what is good, desirable and practicable.

Read the books by the famous scholar Allamah Tabataba'i and you will know that this is not MY ego or MY thoughts....these are thoughts from a scholar who is reputed in the Islamic studies and research:D:D

They are proving their point of view and so you are. they are saying what they know. If you think they are wrong take this thread as an opportunity to convince them. Try not to loose your cool and still prove your point. this is an opportunity for you to enlighten us non muslims about something we dont know.
ok sorry, but i was merely saying. say if i quote Holy Quran, are you going to read it and check what i have said is true? u will accept it? consequently if i say somethin gwithout quoting, it is still true (if i ever give my opinion in my religion i will state them) what ever i have said about ALi sleeping in the bed, Abu bakr giving his things, etc have been true.
budmass: i dont think i have said anything stupid in my post or atleast this thread. (if you cant say something nice please refrain) and i am not a WAHABI!!!!!! and certainly not a third class. but then if u think i am then u must be that aswell, since it takes one to know one!
and the people (shias) beating themselves it happens in PAKISTAN (stayed there for 10 YEARS!!!!!!) every moharram, i see people in the street crying and hitting themselves. so i know. and i dont think that God has given them special priveliges that all their relatives will die on moharram between 9-11! :rolleyes:

I 'm here to smile & laugh not to get headaches. :rooleyes:
Excercising your brains gives you headache?
Most of us here for a smile and laughter ... but in the process if we can expand our knowledge ... anything wrong with that?
I think these few threads are going just fine ... I think.
