Shia, What's the Ruling on Rejecting Imamate of Ali & his Offspring? ~simple question~


I await the answer, and I think I'll ask also for a reference to a Shia website's fatwa on this, if that's possible.

I think this simple question ONLY is fair to ask, after you asked me 100 in that Imam Kazim's post (which I'll answer, trust me; I'll make it my assignment).

So yalla, cite for us SUNNIS the answer your scholars give for this question.

rater what is wrong with you....?? PLEASEEEE GUYS BEHAVEEEEE with your personal frustrations you will invite more hate, soon hate will cripple these rooms, and the intellect will be swept under the carpet....the true enemy of Islam is one who cannot indulge in peaceful ways, whether he/she is sunni, shia, wahabi, etc.

Now why is this considered as an act of Kufer??.

Simply because the QURAN confirms the Prophet is a revelation to mankind. The Quran being the physical aspect of a revelation and the Prophet the examplary via traditions, actions, practise, method, etc. So If Allah refers to Him (saw) as a revelation himself, then isnt it an act of Kufer to deny his traditions (hadith)?? There is ample evidence that Imam Ali (as) was appointed by the Prophet as his successor. Also extremely generous and weighty traditions from the Prophet and Quran via application forming the very establishment of the Ahlul Bayt as 12 to be our righteous leaders, as Imams.

Now let me ask you, denying the Prophet, Quran, Hadith, doesn't that conclude to one commiting an act of disbelief....you see belief is not only the submissive aspect of declaring faith in Allah and physical appreciation of the Prophet, but Belief is also a concentrated bond which unites the created and the creator with the will to accept both Allah in his decree and the Prophet in his traditions.

Rejecting the 12 Imams is very clearly an act of Kufer (disbelief) but does not make one a Kafir. Yes the Ayatollahs of Iran say the same. The same for a muslim to call another muslim a kafir, he/she commits an act of Kufer (agreed by both sunni and shia). You have to remember an act of Kufer and being a Kafir negate in similtude, they are not the same. For you to deny the Imams their position as your leaders, does not make u a Kafir unless u dont follow the Quran and Sunnah.

because you make very provoking remarks about the sahaba like you just did. You're not doing yourself any favours that way either.

And furthermore, why some people are so concerned about others this much? Why can?t they just live their lives and let the others do the same as long as they don?t cross the fundamentals of reason and Islam? You see people, many people just start to hate Islam (and they are Muslims) because of these topics. I mean, what do you care of someone believed that there are 12 men after the Prophet who actually support Islam? Or who would care of some other people believed of 10 people who were friends of the Prophet and they are going to heaven by certainty?

Damn people, other nation are getting way ahead of us and we still fight for a stupid details before 1400 years ago, and all of those why fight for are dead and went to their God and Allah will judge them

I remember when I was about 15 years old, I was so sure about everything and assuming that I have the only ?truth? in the whole world, but after a while I understood that only idiots think that way, and truth could be one in its fundamentals with many other shapes, and so: It could be in Christ, Allah, Omar, Ali, Aisha or any other noble thinking.

You see, this is the difference between us and you. We think that you are ?wrong? but not godless (Kafer) while you think that we are ?wrong and ?Kafers? as well. Yes, you are wrong about making those in frond of Imam Ali, for many reasons I don?t have the time to explain them, and the history is clear and shows how the so called ?Sahabah? fought each others and destroy Islam. I know this is not going to sink in, but that is just the simple truth, and if you want to make sure, just read ?The Story of Civilization? of Well Durant.

Now I will not care if you call me ?cowered? or not, because I know that you weren?t brave enough to read my reply to your racial mail, so how about facing me? Too bad man, but Iraqi men are really more than what you can reach.

What a fool!! I need to be 'saved' from God's punishment because I didn't elect a certain someone to manage our affairs as his subjects?? Is ruling others something the Ahlul-Bayt cared about that much??? Since when was ruling anything but a huge responsibility, huh??? Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, who (in our books is depicted) cries till he wets his beard..fearful of God and indifferent to this dunya's wreckage which is never lasting, Ali cares so much about the title of 'Ameer-ul-Mumineen', him and his offsprings??? Before you come and try to teach us our religion by citing hadiths u misunderstand, here or there, or ones that are weak and fabricated in our books which we still never hid away or whatever (a sign of STRENGTH AND KNOWLEDGE, that those hadiths don't harm our way, and aren't proofs against u, otherwise we'd hide them like ur scholars hide away from u so many things in ur authentic books and beliefs!!) before u cite such sunni sources, u have to explain to us why do we have hadiths that forbid us from electing him who seeks to rule by all means!! these hadiths are found in our Riyadh-ul-Saliheen major book of hadith collection (not one comparable to the Saheehs or the Sunans, but Sunnis know what I'm tlaking about), so...tell me how we should understand such hadiths, and tell me WHAT did abu bakr, omar and uthman benefit out of becoming rulers (upon ELECTION)! was there petroleum that they worried about looting those 'petro-dinars', or did they build palaces and establish ruling dyasties, or what exactly??? You gotta show us proofs as to what were they so eager to GET after becoming rulers!! even Fadak which u think Abu Bakr forbade lady Fatimah from inheriting..did he he get for himself? No. before u are all the history books, come proove it! AND don't forget to TELL US WHY ALI HIMSELF..didn't get Fadak BACK when he became a caliph? what, was busy u want to say? tsk tsk tsk tsk, think of a better excuse, liars!!!! he only believed Abu bakr's cited hadith on prophets leaving behind them no material wealth, just the knowledge they transmitted in their lifetimes!!!

Still, u adn others didn't answer me! I think ur answer may have been a 'coordinated' effort, but let me tell u it was a desperate, failed effort! i need to know the ruling on rejecting the Imamate! we all know that if a Muslim REJECTS (a word u urself used, by referring to the 'rejecter') if a Muslim rejects even ONE of the 5 pillars of Islam (to u they are 5 or 6, but always one of them is the Imamate) if he rejects ONE then he's NOT MUSLIM anymore, ok? That's why Abu Bakr waged wars on those who wouldn't give the zakat after the prophet's passing, by that rejecting the pillar of zakat in islam! so its logical to deduce that if u hold the imamate as a pillar of islam, and we reject it, then we are no longer muslims and deserve to be put to death?? trust me I have scanned pages from ur shia books (in arabic though, everything is in arabic! translate ur mother books plz and put them online, instead of the stupid 'Then I was Guided'!) i have scanned pages makign it CLEAR that every Sunni is 'Nasibi'!!!!! And I see in ur anti-Sunni websites that whenever u mention Wahhabis by making fun of their books..u'r actually using Sunni books!!! never did i see u use a purely "Wahhabi" book to make fun of, why? because u can't find such a book, so u use sunni works instead then in the title u write 'Sex and Wahhabis', like in ur answering-ansar website or some other 'Burhan' one! pathetic losers!! stop the taqiyyah! Iran has nukes soon and u'r still cowards??? come on, COME OUT, admit it!! we rejecters of Ali as the "Imam" worthy to rule him and his offspring only and those of hussein...we are Nasibis and Kafirs due to that, no?? COME OUT, DEMON SOUL!! ADMIT IT!!! COME OUT!!!! U ASK ME 100 QUESTIONS AND I PROMISE TO ANSWER THEM, and I ask one or two and this lousy answer is what i get??? and where is everybody else, huh? lol! all disappeared now?? tsk tsk tsk tsk :)

the quran itself contradicts ur blood-based form of government that u want us to submit to thru Shi'ism! I have enough logical arguments to silence u ppl forever, and the seeker of truth from among u.. is him only who'd be guided back to Islam.

ur stupid website made the wahhabis and deobandis ONE? lol and it said only those are nasibis? so the sunnis who make the caliphs in the order of 'abu bakr, omar, uthman, and ali'..ARE also according to YOU ..rejecters! what happens to a rejecter, in a shia context, in a shia state? tell me! but i'll tell u what happens to one who curses abu bakr, omar and uthman and aysha (whose love and respect is from our deen, just like loving ali and ahlulbayt): Allah himself declared those who are vexed by the companion of the prophet..He (swt) declared them KAFIRS in the last verse of surah Muhammad. Imam Malik (founder of the Maliki madhab) deduced the ruling of takfeer of the Shia based on that very verse. so, we have no taqiyyahs, and i'm telling u..in a sunni (khilaafah) state...all the shia would be put to death. maybe their men only. their women we'll take as captives and their kids we'll raise as sunnis, just like the muslims did with the jews of khaybar.

and hereby i declare REJECTIGN Ali and his offsprings as the Imams according to stupid Shi'ism, accepting him as the 4th best Muslim based on his own merits, NOT blood-based, though to Ahlul-Bayt is a special rank but when it comes to choosing our leader..there are criterion..none of which is based on WHOSE SON HE WAS!!! use our hadith where the prophet tells us to obey even an abysinian slave ruling us!!! Ahlul-Bayt..loving them is a duty on every Muslim; it's enough to prove their high special rank in our Islam by how in the prayers we perform..if one doesn't send prayers on them..his entire prayer is INVALID!!!!

stop worshipping them, fools. they are mere humans, only related to the prophet; the weren't infallibles! otherwise, y did Hassan give up khilaafah to Mu'awiyah????? isn't that a sin??? why did ALI say in Nahjul-Balaaghah he is NOT FIT to be an AMEER for us, but barely a WAZIR (2nd-in-command, sort of, 'vizir')???? doesn't that mean he rejected imamate and wilayah??? is he then a kafir too?? a nasibi? a ...self-hating person? looool!! how rediculous are ur books!!! i bet u didn't read Nahjul-Balaghah, but that's in it!! go tell me when u find it how the commentator on the book (if any) explained that saying of Ali :) then have a safe trip back to this journal :) ciao! lol

those who consider imam Ali(as) as fourth caliph are rejecter by itself as we shias consider him to be khalifa after prophet(saa) death and reject the one selected in sakifa bani saeeda(where dacoits/bandits use to meet and share their looted bouties)
