This humble study is for the sincere people that are seeking the truth. It is not intended to be an attack on a person’s identity, or on the culture that a person happens to be born into without full knowledge, or what one thought was Islaam without access to the full facts. Rather, it hopes to outline some of the beliefs of the Shee’ah and show how they are not in line with Islaam as presented in the Qur’aan, Sunnah (way) of Muhammad (S) or the understandings of the early generations of righteous Muslims. Please look at the evidence presented fairly as we do feel the need to resort to bringing about conflicts with the ignorant, facts have merely been presented and it is for the sincere reader to decide.
Unfortunately, due to the secretive manner of the ‘knowledgable’ amongst the Shee’ah, many people are not aware of their actual beliefs. Muslims are not conscious of the differences between Islaam and the Shee’ah belief. Most Shee’ah writings revolve around emotional issues of love for the Prophet’s family and people believe that the Shee’ah belief is just this. However, they can still be Muslims and love the family of the Prophet in the way that they deserve without being Shee’ah.
In our call to Tawheed, we are faced with many Shee’ah people who are not familiar with what the majority of their own scholars have invented which have thus rendered the Shee’ah belief system as heretical, contrary to the understanding of the family and companions of the Prophet and thus outside the fold of Islaam. We repeat that we are not trying to offend the average Shee’ah, who may not even practice Islaam, but the truth of what will be presented in this short work should be assessed fairly and unemotionally.
The religious beliefs and practices of extremist Shee’ah segregate them from Islaam, the Shee’ah have specific beliefs about Allaah and His attributes, the Prophets, the mission and call of Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wassallam) and even the Qur’aan.
May Allah al-Kareem al-Ghafoor have Mercy on all of us, save and protect us from the all evils, Forgive us our sins, keep us steadfast on His true Deen (as practised by our beloved Prophet SallAllāhu Alaihi wa Sallam, his Companions and the at-Taaba’een), Guide those of us who are Misguided, and unite the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad SallAllāhu Alaihi wa Sallam, Aameen!
