When people are fixated on an issue, reasoning usually gets thrown out the window
As usual the symbols { } have been used to provide further clarification
A mental, spiritual and logical ‘emptiness’ which appears to be systemic has affected peoples all over the world in various fields including religion. In hard times or uncertain times people like to cling to just about anything that will give them comfort.
The failed and left behind person does the same when he or she turns to the stimulation of drugs to remove themselves from the bitterness of reality they find in their condition to move into the freewheeling world of make-believe. The thing is, this is NOT a new phenomenon.
For example, how can any moral, logical thinking individual in America based on repeated gaffs, lies, repugnant actions simply IGNORE ‘spiritual values and logic’ and STILL be in favor of that lunatic Donald J. Trump? After a few of his lies and shady actions were exposed, one would think that a person would avoid any affiliation with that poor excuse for a human being. However, due to several factors including ‘blind stupidity’ and lack of a true moral compass, the secret place in the heart where values of the spirit lay according to Islam, becomes COMPRIMISED and the result is ‘spiritual and logical blindness’!
Another example is that Gulen character living in the USA, who, as one of our Turkish brothers has declared, “Is likened to a Mahdi to his followers who are made up of part Shi’a and part Sufi rubbish.” When people operate without common sense, they are liable to fall for such devilish characters as Gulen or a Jim Jones. And when the walls come crashing down on these woebegotten followers, as surely as must happen, they are in such a state of stupefaction feeling helpless, useless and desperate so much so that some will try to take their own inadequate lives when cornered and about to forcibly face reality.
The same case can be made for the ‘fans’ of Adolf Hitler back in the days when he was a rising ‘star’ in Germany in the early 1930’s. With all of his tough talk and with the exceptionally nefarious deeds of his brown shirted followers where was the ‘moral compass’ of the reality of true faith and belief in the ‘religious texts’ for those people?
Where was it? Apparently, they were so busy having grand delusions about themselves and the possibilities of their superiority over others that they forgot the simple moral actions of civilized human beings. So, with this example, it should be clear by now that when any anti-christ mesmerizer comes along he will definitely succeed when, and only when, people take for themselves the comfort of moral bankruptcy over moral fortitude.
Every human being is bound to taste death: but only on the Day of Resurrection will you be requited in full (for whatever you have done) whereupon he that shall be drawn away from the fire and brought into paradise will indeed have gained a triumph: for the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment of self-delusion. Q (3: 185)
As I have dealt with this before, I can be brief. This is nothing new and the Old Testament, New Testament and Quran give examples of how people who can see and hear simply have become deaf, dumb and blind! Impossible as it may seem, the similitude of these people are like the lemmings who march in unity in a certain direction right into the sea thereby creating their own mass suicide!
For these people, it is like they have fashioned a ‘strange world’ for themselves built up with impenetrable walls that will NOT allow common sense to enter but rather permits a strange, unreal, fantasy to exist stemming from ‘false’ desires and hopes. And this so-called fantasy becomes a real world to them with an existence surviving all on its own.
It is like a crazy person who invents imaginary situations in order to feed his idiot-beast which in reality does not exist except in the mind of the one who is delusional! Therefore, the delusion takes on a life all of its own and what is fake or false can now be perceived as being correct! Hence, the use of the following verses which show that people have the ability to manufacture lies and turn them into so-called truths in order to find a zone of comfort for their own depravity and spiritual bankruptcy!
Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch {both shall fail}. Matt (15: 14)
Therefore they could NOT believe because of what Esaias (pbh) said:
HE {THE ONE GOD} has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart{s} that they should NOT see with their eyes, NOR understand with their heart{s} and be converted and I {Jesus} should heal them {that my words be allowed to enter their hearts with GOD’s PERMISSION and they should have the chance to be redeemed}. John (12: 39-40)
But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.
In whom the god of this world {corruption in all of its forms} has blinded the minds of them which BELIEVE NOT, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ {as to what is truth and what he really stood for} who is the image {?*} of GOD should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians (4: 3-4)
*Because GOD has NO IMAGE like unto idols or anything that we can imagine, ACCORDING TO THE UNITY OF ALL THE SCRIPTURES, the word ‘image’ is best replaced by the word slave or the word servant of GOD! All men of good faith and understanding know or will admit that the New Testament has undergone some significant changes from the so-called ‘original’ documents. Hence, what is declared of Paul’s declaration in Acts of comparing GOD to the ‘GREAT UNKNOWN’ would fit the replacement of the word ‘image’ with another concept as was presented here.
For as I {Paul} passed by and beheld your {pagan} devotions, I found an alter with this inscription, to the UNKNOWN GOD {unfathomable, unseen and above ANY description whatsoever}. Whom you therefore ignorantly worship; HIM I declare unto you. Acts (17: 23)
How that they {the Disciples of Jesus} told you there should be mockers in the Last Time, who should walk after their own lusts.
These are they who separate themselves {from those who are in earnest about living and understanding of the Way of the Spirit}, {they then are concerned with only worldly things which are} sensual, having not the Spirit. Jude (1: 18-19)
And even as they did NOT like to retain GOD in their knowledge, GOD gave them over {for GOD is EVER in CONTROL} to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are NOT convenient {as approved of by GOD}.
Being filled with all {kinds of sin such as} unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; {and} whisperers {spreading falsehoods}.
Backbiters, haters of GOD, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to {their} parents.
Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection {in their hearts} implacable {unable to reason correctly}, unmerciful.
Who knowing the Judgment of GOD {have a mind to read the truth and have been confronted with it} that they which commit such things {and rejoice in those things} are worthy of {spiritual} DEATH, not only do the same but have pleasure in them {when seeing others of like disrepute} that do them {do the same}. Romans (1: 28 -32)
Deaf, dumb and blind, they will not return (to the path). Q (2: 18)
The parable of those who reject faith is as if one were to shout like a goat-herd, to things that listen to nothing but calls and cries; deaf, dumb and blind, they are void of {true} wisdom. Q (2: 171)
Say: “shall WE tell you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds?
Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works?
They are those who DENY the SIGNS of their LORD and the fact of their having to meet HIM (in the Hereafter): vain will be their works, nor shall WE on the Day of Judgment, give them any weight {whatsoever}.
HELL is their reward because they REJECTED FAITH*, and took MY SIGNS and MY MESSENGERS by way of jest. Q (18: 103-106)
*Rejection of faith here is the choice to live worldly enjoyment of various kinds and regard any study to seek out the truth of sacred works, without being bombastic, corrupt or narrow-minded, beneath their so-called precious dignity.
When looking under the subject of ‘what do the Shi’a think of Abu Bakr and ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab under Google certain feelings come to mind. This article is NOT meant to inflame passions but rather to question the logic and intelligence of certain beliefs held by certain groups (mainly the 12vers or the Shi’a sect featured in Iran), which is their freedom/choice, who claim to be following Islam and are sincere to the truth.
Then whose truth are we comparing it to? The truth claimed by the VAST MAJORITY of MUSLIMS that is who! First of all, the Shi’a religion which is Muslim in belief in declaring only ONE GOD and that the PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbh) is HIS PROPHET contains about 14 to 15% of the total population of ‘those who declare themselves to be Muslim’. They are also, and this is important, PEOPLE OF THE KIBLAH as to the ‘direction of Prayer’.
HOWEVER, their ‘belief system’ is very repugnant to many Muslims, especially those who claim to be Sunni Muslims, due to some of their ‘odd’ practices and very odd and illogical beliefs. In fact, they are in my opinion more closely related to the Jews and Roman Catholics when it comes to ‘dogmatic’ and ‘saintly’ expressions which in reality are based on a system of logic that is patently and moronically absurd!
Let’s start off with an example of a type of little bit of logic similar to what they use to ‘fit’ a square peg in a round hole’! By doing these absurd mental gymnastics, they try and distinguish themselves as so-called ‘superior (true) Muslims while showing that the Sunni Muslims have taken a ‘wrong turn’ in their worship! By following that type of logic they can cleverly bend the truth to that what supports their ‘corrupt doctrines’.
Here goes a sample (one that I made up out of whole cloth to show how stupid things can get) concerning their ludicrous and fallacious thinking:
A black turban means that it is a NEGRO turban because NEGROES ARE BLACK. Therefore, any person who wears a black turban must not only be a NEGRO but also must come from Africa because that is where Negroes come from.
That type of logic is not only ludicrous but it is also dangerous basically because it is emotional, primitive and full of holes!
When one goes into Wikipedia to find out their feelings toward Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, it becomes apparent that they have NO RESPECT WHATSOEVER FOR THE FIRST TWO CALIPHS FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbh)! Nor do they have any respect for the 3rd CALIPH but that is another story!
However, in reality and most importantly they show a lack of reverence towards ALLAH, which is their disgrace, and their doctrines, in a very perverted way, can be used to show that Prophet Muhammad (pbh) was not a very ‘bright’ individual!!! That is also their disgrace!
In order to pull off this stunt while making themselves look superior, they have to arrange things in a very clever way. They have to make out that Abu Bakr and ‘Umar are bad guys who ‘stole’ the leadership of the Muslims after the death of the Prophet (pbh). Therefore, they will take any little HUMAN INTERACTION and make it SEEM like there was a PLOT to derail their bigger-than-life hero, ‘Ali bin Abu Talib (ALLAH be pleased with him).
Now we can build on these stories (actually fables) and every century add little pieces of false knowledge for the common man’s consumption. And as we have seen with paganism and Christianity unchained, it titillates the soul of many who like joining partners with the ONE GOD in one way or the other either directly or, in their case, INDIRECTLY, while having a ‘special relationship to the Divine’ through certain men-channels called the ‘Infallible Imams’.
Now to the meat of the matter! The Quran and the Bible have had things to say about certain things which would, in truth, lay waste to Persian Shi’a beliefs! We don’t even need voluminous sayings of the Prophet (pbh) to show where the Shi’a have gone dramatically wrong. Even common sense will be a boon to us when we explore the Shi’a tendency to build up a false philosophy of belief!
In several of my articles I have had a discussion of the Shi’a-type faith basically centering in on the Twelvers or what can be called Persian Islam or that philosophy they try to pass off as Islam. I have also noted three important facts besides what was discussed in the past:
- The Book of Daniel (pbh) in the Old Testament declares that they shall ‘fail’ (fall) in their attempt to establish {their} the corrupt vision of the Islamic Mahdi.
And in those times there shall be many {who} stand up against the king of the south: also the ROBBERS OF YOUR PEOPLE {WHO TOOK YOUR PEOPLE CAPTIVE AND TRANSPORTED THEM TO PERSIA} SHALL EXALT THEMSELVES TO ESTABLISH THE VISION BUT THEY SHALL FALL {FAIL}. Daniel (11: 14)
Thawdan narrated “ALLA’s Messenger (pbh) said; “Definitely, there will come a time when the nations will gather against you, just as people gather around a feast.” A man said, “Will it be because we are few at that time, O ALLAH’s Messenger?” He responded, “No, you will be numerous in those times, but you will be as useless as the scum of the sea, and ALLAH will remove the fear that your enemies used to possess concerning you from their chests and HE will place al-Wahn in your hearts”. It was said, “What is al-Wahn?” The Prophet (pbh) responded, “Love of life, and hatred of death.” (Ahmad, Abu Dawood)
- That their basic creeds are quite unsound and based on twisted logic from Sufi, un-Islamic thought.
- That they have a major book called al-Kafi that includes suggestions that the Quran is NOT complete in its present form or that it is corrupted and that their big discussion on the Quran revolves around ‘huge chunks’ of missing qur’anic text which they NOW claim is only a few missing words.
So, what can their whole philosophy be boiled down to? Their whole philosophy can be stated to be, when looked at under a microscope, a disgraceful, episodic approach to emasculating GOD, HIS Prophet and the Prophet’s Companions.
How is this done? This is done through several ways but the major way is to declare a lie whenever their ‘keystone’ piece of logic is questioned. In fact, their key piece of logic which is based on the romantic notion of Ali and his wife Fatimah, the daughter of Prophet Muhammad (pbh), is very similar to the Roman Catholic’s veneration of Mary the mother of Jesus and Jesus himself!
All of these personages (Ali, Fatimah and Mary the mother of Jesus) were blessed people. However, in reality, these people do not compare to the level reached by the prophets. Furthermore, Prophet Muhammad (pbh), the greatest of all human beings to walk this planet, considered himself in the truthful light of being no more than a man like you or me.
Finally, because it was prophesied that the Muslims would fall into the SAME PRACTICES, for example, committing SHIRK, AS THEIR PREDECESSORS DID (Jews and Christians), the Shi’a have come very close to sharing a type of deification with Ali, Fatimah and their 11 Imams as the Christians did with Jesus (the so-called son of GOD and Mary the so-called mother of GOD).
You would tread the same path as was trodden by those before you inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of a Dhab (a desert lizard), you will enter too. We said: O Messenger of ALLAH, do you mean the Jews and Christians? He said: Who else? (Muslim)
In order to accomplish this disgusting fact, the Shi’a have to attack anything that stands in the way of their corrupted logic. They do this by besmirching the beloved Companions of the holy Prophet (pbh) which declares two basic things:
- The Holy Prophet’s (pbh) perception and close ties with his loyal Companions were misplaced and infantile showing that his own brain was not normal because he was easily fooled and so delusional.
- The ONE GOD WHO placed in HIS MOST HOLY WORD THE QURAN an action of Abu Bakr of being with Muhammad (pbh) in the ‘cave’ and the actions of pleasing ‘Umar by having 3 things ‘Umar was thinking about being placed, once again, in ALLAH’s MOST EXCELLENT AND WELL PROTECTED BOOK, THE QURAN, shows that the ONE GOD… actually this thought is too disgusting to be put on paper!
So every time an objection comes up concerning their (Shi’a narrative) philosophy of who should have become the first Caliph or why their 12 Imams are Infallible, they have their invented and perverted twists on history to be used to continue to back them up. What this means is that their belief system amounts to outright SHIRK covered over by a thin veneer of respectability.
From the article “A Veil of Tears”
Most Shi’a sects of today show variations in their beliefs such that at certain times one can hardly believe that they and the Sunnis claim the same religion. In fact, the Shi’a sect was not overly large until ‘forced conversions’ happened in Persia where the vast majority of the Sunni population was FORCED to convert to Shi’ism. However, this forcing of people to believe in a religion or a type of a religion is TOTALLY FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM:
Let there be NO COMPULSION in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: Whoever rejects Tagut {anything worshiped besides ALLAH including so-called go-betweens and this takes in to consideration such things as SHRINES} and believes in ALLAH has grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that NEVER breaks and ALLAH HEARS and KNOWS All THINGS. Q (2: 56)
The trick of the Shi’a is to follow in the footpaths of those who are called Sunni Muslims (the rightful heirs to the religion of Truth) by shadowing their precepts and then veering away by certain invented principles. And because modern day Shi’ism is based, in part, on ‘forged Sufi-type practices’ their illogical theories on Islam are nonsensical to the rational mind.
Hence, their main strong point for their continued INVENTED DOCTRINES comes from attacking most of Prophet Muhammad’s Companions. In doing this, they can feel free to create myths and legends that are pure hogwash and truly anti-Islamic. To put it simply, if one takes the brakes away from the race car, how is one going to stop it when needed?
Get rid of the vast majority of the Companions and their sayings and practices and BINGO! You can RE-CREATE your own idea of the religion of Islam! For example, one can even honor a person who wrote two books in proclaiming that the Quran is NOT PURE! Of course ONE DOESN’T GO AROUND OPENING UP THE ‘DRAFTS OF SATAN’ TO THE COMMON PEOPLE JUST LIKE VARIOUS SECTS OF CHRISTIANITY, FOR EXAMPLE, THE MORMONS DON’T GIVE ITS ‘NEW MEMBERS’ THE FULBLOWN SECRETS BEHIND THEIR RELIGIOUS VAGARIES.
A Shi’a scholar HONORED in a prominent Shrine by the Shi’a in the so-called holy city of Najaf by the name of Mirza Husain bin Muhammad Taqi An-Nawari At-Tabarsi wrote two books claiming that the Quran is NOT completely accurate due to corruption and missing information.
One of his books is called The Decisive Say on the Proof of Alteration of the Book of the Lord of the Worlds. Both of his criminal books discuss the ‘proof of the corruptions’ found in the Quran. However, Scriptural-wise, even the Jewish Book, called Zephaniah in Chapter 3 verses 9-10, claims that the Quran is pure and this Jewish Book was written down a couple of hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus (pbh).
Besides this, there is the Arabic proof for the Quran being protected found in the Quran as well as historical evidence of various kinds. After carefully contemplating this knowledge, even an average intelligent person can see that At-Tabarsi was nothing more than a ‘pious fraud’ and a devil besides! But a celebrated devil who STILL has a Shrine dedicated in his honor!
So what are we looking at here in brief? In brief we are looking at several major Shi’a NON-ISLAMIC practices like:
- 1. Worshiping at ‘illegal shrines’ and asking for blessings and other things to be granted to them. This is similar to the practice of praying to a statue hoping for some benefit. Only three shrines are legalized in Islam: Bayt al-Maqdis, the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina and the Kaaba in Makkah!
- 2. Attacking the blessed Companions by holding them to be ‘evil’ or untrustworthy except for a few. If the Companions’ sayings are proving that the Shi’a ‘doctrines’ are nothing more than invented fallacies, then the way to overcome that is to ‘vilify’ the Companions of Prophet Muhammad (pbh).
- 3. Defacing the Prophet by making the Prophet (pbh) look like a ‘simpleton’ by ignoring his dictates and cancelling out his legitimate sayings. And implying that he was easily duped by twisted and insincere people who pretended to be his closest associates.
- Entrusting false scholars by following non-Islamic practices invented by their scholars.
- 5. Ignoring or twisting many sayings of the Prophet (pbh) to suit their own agendas like their type of combining of prayers.
- 6. Attributing one or more of GOD’s EMINENT POWERS to a few mortal men (the divine and holy Imams) whom they consider as ‘INFALLIBLE’ in religious matters as well as knowers of the UNSEEN – the so-called Infallible Imams.
Ibn Hanbal declared:
‘Abdullah bin Ahmad has related to us from Abu al-Harth Surayj bin Yunus from Abu Hafs Abbar from Hakam bin ‘Abd al-Malik from Harth bin Hasirah from Abi Sadiq from Rabi‘ah bin Najidh from ‘Ali who said: “The Messenger of Allah (pbh) told me: ‘You are like Jesus. The Jews hated him so much that they slandered his mother, and the Christians, because of their extreme devotion to him, placed him in a position which was NOT his. ‘Ali went on to declare, “Two types of persons or groups are doomed concerning me; the devoted extremist exalting me TO WHAT I AM NOT, and the spiteful hater bearing malice towards me and slandering me”. (Ahmad)
‘Imraan bin Husayn declared that the Prophet (pbh) said: “Verily the best among you (to follow) is my generation (the Messenger Muhammad (pbh) and his Companions, then those who follow, and then those who follow them…” (Muslim)
The best people, of course, that understand Islam and what it is about will come from the first generation in Islam – the Messenger Muhammad (pbh) and his Upright Companions and these people are the people of the highest standing in Islam who are NOT equaled by succeeding generations.
“And whosoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger after the right path has been shown clearly to him, AND FOLLOWS OTHER THAN THE ‘BELIEVERS’ WAY, WE shall KEEP HIM in the path HE HAS CHOSEN and land him in Hell – what an evil destination!” Q (4: 115)
Ibn ‘Umar reported ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) as saying, “When you see people who revile my Companions say, “Allah’s curse be on your worst ones.” (Tirmidhi)
Every human being is bound to taste death: but only on the Day of Resurrection will you be requited in full (for whatever you have done) whereupon he that shall be drawn away from the fire and brought into paradise, will indeed have gained a triumph: for the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment of self-delusion. Q (3: 185)
