Shia Pen

Chapter One: Introduction

 

The inspiration behind this article, was not to spread hatred against or belittle the Ahle Sunna, on the contrary we were forced to write it to address the frequent attacks and acerbic remarks by the Nasibi elements within Ahle Sunnah. They claim that the Shi’a have nothing to do with the Ahlulbayt [as] rather they are the true lovers of Ahlulbayt [as]. The website www.ahlelbayt.com is one such example. We shall analyse the matter in detail by highlighting the matter from various angles such as:

  1. The founding forefathers of the school of our opponents i.e. their characters in the principle books of their school that depicted their open involvement in ‘Nasb’ (Nasibism) and Kharijism, hence they have no right to mock the Shi’a.
  2. The ‘no objection certificates’ (NOCs) issued by prominent Imams of Ahle Sunnah to some notorious Nasibies and their granting them the status of being Thiqa and various other grand accolades.
  3. Their double standards in dealing with Rawafid (Shias) and Nawasib.
  4. For those who yap that each and every Sahabi was just and it is incumbent on us to follow each of them, we will prove from the statement of Sunni scholars that Nasibism emerged from right amongst the Sahaba and was strengthen during the era of Taba’een and by the belief of following each and every Sahabi, these people are in fact becoming the follower of ‘Nasb’.
  5. For those anti-Shia fanatics who teach their adherents not to side with Shias because they vehemently reject some of the Sahabah beloved by the former, we will show them that by the same token, the Shias should also not discuss unity with Ahle Sunnah since their roots lie in Nasibism, despite this the Shias still exhibit open-mindedness.
  6. For those ignorants who claim that the Shi’as have received their teachings from Abdullah ibn Saba, we will challenge them to present a single statement or teaching that has been narrated from Abdullah ibn Saba in the Shi’a sources. Then we will show them that they have clearly inherited their school’s teachings from the open Nawasib. Only then it will be evident that who follows who!
