love of Sunni Muslims to the household of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) calling that
an important principle in Sunni communities.

He referred to the names of two of Imam Ali (AS) sons taken after Sunni figures, Umar and Abubakr and called that as an affection of Imam Ali (AS) towards companions of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
He called the disagreement between companions and household of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as an illusion of the enemies of Islam and stressed, “Affection and friendship with the household of Prophet Mohammad (AS) will not realize unless with a disavowal of the enemies of Islam.”
Prayer leader of Tripoli praised the unity of Shia and Sunni in Gonbade Qabus and called for boosting the practical unity between these Islamic denominations.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Unfortunately, some so-called Muslim scholars on their
payroll have also played a key role in keeping these differences alive.
Although I was born into aSayyid Sunni family, I did not know of
manydifferences while
growing up as a child. Our families always respected Imam Hussain (peace be
upon him) and his parents and participated inceremonies marking the
anniversary of his martyrdom (the 10th day of the month of Muharram
which is called Ashura) by reciting the first chapter of the Quran
(al-Fatihah) andother chapters and verses of the Quran and fasted on the ninth
and tenth days of that month.
Now when I give
lectures on Islam to non-Muslims, one of the questionsthey always ask me is
if I am Shia or Sunni. I ask them if they know the difference them by the
media. So they say Shias are the ones who are the bad guys, the militant
version of Islam, and cause all the trouble in the Middle East these days.
These non-Muslim
American the difference. They have no knowledge, other than what has been
given to audiences of mine are surprised to learn that some of the known
tyrants like Saddam Hussain and troublemakers like the PLO and Hamas are all
Sunnis, just as they are surprised to learn that Tariq Aziz ( Iraq ’s Foreign
Minister) was Christian and not a Muslim.
This is what I say
to them about Shi’ites.”If Ali Ib n Talib (cousin of Prophet Muhammad) was a
Shia, then I am a Shia. If he was a Sunni then I am a Sunni [i.e., a follower
of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)]. In Islam there are five recognized schools of
Divine Law: 1) Hanafi; 2)Shafi; 3) Maliki; 4) Hambali and 5) Jafari.
The first four are
called Sunni, and the fifth one, who in addition to following sayings and
actions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), also follows those of Ali and consider
him as the rightful successor of the Prophet, are called Shia. The first four
have many major theological differences among themselves and according to a
Christian friend of mine, “The only time Sunnis are united is when they are
fighting Shias.” Shi’ism started as a political movement (Shia means follower
or partisan) to help Ali become successor of Muhammad (PBUH.
Around every
successful popular figure, there are some admirers whose own future interests
rest with the rise of their leader. Thus in Indiana , we have “Friends of
Lugar Club”, who are hoping that some day Senator Richard Lugar will become a
US President. Nationally, we now have a Hillary Rodham Clinton Fan Club with
4,000 members! Thus, there were the Followers of Ali Club, which
later on became a political movement. During the initial battles with
unbelievers, Ali, the Sword of Islam, was in the
forefront and defeated and killed many of their leaders whose children and
grandchildren, even when they became Muslims, always remembered who killed
their father (animosity).
Ali was raised by
Prophet Muhammad as a child so he knew Islam very well. Thus, when he became
a judge, his judgments were based on strict Islamic principles, much to the
disappointment of many who expected him to be lenient to the rich and
powerful. He was so well respected and trusted by both Caliph Abu Bakr and
Umar, that in difficult cases they asked his opinion.
Nevertheless, I
tell my non-Muslim audience that both Shia and Sunni have many things in
common. They both believe in One God (Allah), follow the same Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as the last Prophet,
offer five daily-prescribed prayers, perform the prescribed fast in the month
of Ramadan, go to Mecca for the pilgrimage (hajj), read the same Quran, and
pay the poor-due.
However, my answers
can only satisfy my uninformed non-Muslim audience. The Sunni brothers,
misguided by western propaganda, who are ready to embrace non-Muslims
(especially the white ones), in the pretext of invitation to Islam, will not
do so for Shia. They are ignorant Sunnis. Our job as a missionary should be
to invite both groups to the true Islam and not chase them out. There is a
movement in the Sunni world to have Shias labeled as disbelievers. I have
been told thatSaudi Wahabi Mufti Shaykh Bin Baz has declared an edict that
the meat of the People of Book (Jews and Christians) is permissible for Sunni
Muslims to eat but not the meat slaughtered by Shias.
There are scholars
on both sides, like Imam Khomeini and Shaykh Shaltut of al-Azhar who have
done their best to minimize these differences and bring unity, but it is not
working due to the misinformation prevailing in the common masses of Sunnis
about Shi’ism. Thus I am listing their misconceptions of Shia belief and
practices. For answers, I have consulted two Shia scholars in America. Dr.
A. S. Hashim of Washington and Imam Muhammad Ali Elahi of Detroit.
Professor Seyyed
Hossein Nasr wrote to me “to ignore and not waste time in responding to such
wrong allegations.” He also mentioned that “a great deal of money and
effort is being spent in the last few years to fan the fire of hatred between
Shia and Sunni in the Persian Gulf region with obvious political and
economical fruits for powers to-be.”
However, in the
interest of Islamic unity, I must deal with the questions rather than shun
them. Please note that Imam Jafar (peace be upon him), founder of the Shia
school of law, was the teacher of Imam Abu-Hanifa (peace be upon him).
Misconception #1:
Shias have a different Quran. They add another 10 chapters to the original
Quran. Response: Not true. I have checked many times Quran kept in Shia homes
and mosques. I still find it the same as the original Quran. More recently, I
took care of an Iranian lady patient hospitalized here. I saw a copy of
the Quran by her side. I borrowed it from her and browsed
through cover-to-cover. In Arabic it was the same as our Quran. Of
course, since I did not know the Persian language, I can’t say much about the
translation. It is a sin to even say that the Quran can be changed or added
to by Shia when God protects it.
Misconception #2:
Some Shia considers Ali as God. Response: Not true. It is disbelief to even think of such
a thing. During the time of Ali, some pagan groups called Gholat did
consider Ali as Lord. When he found out, they were burned to death.
Misconception #3:
Shias have different declarations of faith and they add to the call to
prescribed prayer. Response: The declaration to become a Muslim, as
administered to non Muslims, is the same. Some Shia add to themselves, “Ali
is a friend of God (PBUH) or Ali is a spiritual leader of God,” after the
call to prescribed prayer, but notas part of the call to prescribed prayer.
Misconception #4:
Shias do not perform Sunnah prayers. Sunnah prayers are non-obligatory
prayers performed by Prophet Muhammad. Response: Shias
do perform non-obligatory prayers, 36 cycles per day in total, but call it Nawafil (extra) and not Sunnah
as all of the Prayers are Sunnah.
Misconception #5:
Some Shia believes the Angel Gabriel made a mistake and prophet hood was
meant for Ali and not Muhammad (PBUH). Response: Not
true. No Shia thinks of such false claims. “Only demented minds think of such
questions.”
Misconception #6:
Shias slander and ridicule the first three caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar and
Uthman) and Prophet Muhammad’s wife, Aisha. Response:
Shia considers the first three caliphs as companions and administrators, but
not spiritual leaders (Imams). Imam Jafar Sadiq, whose mother and grandmother came
from the line of Abu Bakr, said of Abu Bakr, “He gave me birth twice.” Aisha
is respected by Shias as the”Mother of Believers,” as Ali respected her when
he sent her back from Basra to Medina after the Battle of the Camel. If some
Shia do slander the three caliphs and Aisha, they do it out of ignorance
and should ask God’s forgiveness. (As we have witnessed how Imam Khomeini
The Shia bravely declared death of Salman Rushdie -The author of Satanic
Verses who abused the wife of Prophet Aisha and Only The Shia Leader
declared it as blasphemy, just for his Fatwa the whole western countries
became against Iran . See how much price did Shia pay to defend Aisha – while
Saudi Arabia , Kuwait , UAE etc. etc. as the Sunnigovernment were silent they
did not defend Aisha. Now who loves Aisha?)
Misconception # 7:
Shias combine all five prayers into one prayer in the evening. Response:
Not true. In Shia mosques, whether in Iran or the USA , all five daily
prayers are performed. Shia do combine noon and afternoon and evening and
night, but Shia scholars recommend performing them separately. Such
combinations may not be ideal, but better than not praying at all. How
can a Sunni who does not pray at all be better than a Shia who combines
prayers?
Misconception # 8:
Shias do not pay zakat (poor-due). Response: Not true. They not only pay
2.5% left over from savings as zakat, but also an additional 20% as Khums or
general charity. However, they prefer to pay directly to the needy, or their
grass roots recognized scholars rather than corrupt Sunni, or Shia (The
Shah?) governments.
Misconception #9:
Shias practice temporary marriages (Mutah). Response: Mutah
(temporary marriages) was allowed during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
and he himself practiced it. Ib n Zubayr was born out of the temporary
marriage. Later on Caliph Umar prohibited it due to social reasons as the
Islamic world was rapidly expanding. Shias
discourage Mutah but do not consider it prohibited. Some do abuse this. As a
temporary privilege during travel, it is better than adultery.
Misconception #10:
They consider Imams infallible and above the Prophets. Response: Not true. All
prophets are born Prophet but as mentioned in Quran about Abraham that after
passing the test, a prophet becomes a leader (Imam). Muhammad (PBUH) is the
Prophet (Nabi), Messenger (Rasul) and leader (Imam). Shias
consider The Imams as error free carriers of the message of Islam. Shias
consider Ali only as an Imam and not prophet. But his relevance in relation
to The Muslim Ummah in particular and the times in which we all live, his
contribution as “carrier” is more relevant than the Prophets before Muhammad
whose books are lost, and contributions are “legendary” at best.. With the
little knowledge I have, I have tried to do my best as a Sunni in defending
my Shia brothers in Islam with the hope and prayer to God Almighty that
He will “instill love in the heart of the believers” and bring us closer to
each other so that we jointly can fight our common enemy, Satan and his
followers.
