INTRODUCTION
The Sunni Muslims of today have become targets of Iranian propaganda. By reading through Shia literature, they conclude that Khomeini was the great modern day Islamic leader who despised the separation of the Sunnis and Shias within the Islamic Community. They also believe that Khomeini preferred a total Islamic Unity of both Sunnis and Shias and that Khomeini respected the Great Prophet of Islam (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the Khulafa-e-Rashideen and all the Sahaba (radi Allahu anhu anhum ajma'in). They are also under the impression that Khomeini labelled as "Shaitaan" those who spoke of a separate Shia and Sunni group within the Muslim Community. Since the Shias subscribe to the holding of Meelad and Urs celebrations, the reading of Salat or Salaam on the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), visiting of graves, reading of Majaalis during Muharram, etc. Sunni Muslims are fraudulently led to believe, through the local Iranian agency, that there are no differences in Aqaaid (Beliefs) between Sunnis and Shias, more so, because the Shias also reject and refute the Najdi and Wahabi beliefs. In this manner, it would be a matter of time before the Shias gain closeness to the hearts of the Sunnis. This will give them a better and quicker chance to convert them to the Shia fold. This in reality, is the real basis of Taqiyyah.
WHAT IS TAQIYYAH?
NooreMadinah Network - http://www.NooreMadinah.net
TAQIYYAH, in Shia'ite doctrine, is the concealing of the truth for the purposes of misleading the innocent believers in the name of religion. This, in Shia'ite belief, is regarded as a great form of Ibaadah carrying a very great reward. In essence, Taqiyyah involves lying and deceitfully misleading innocent Muslims into the Shia'ite fold. For this purpose, it is important to clearly present to the Sunni Muslims the beliefs of "Imam" Khomeini. These beliefs are written by himself in two of his books, "KASHFUL ASRAR" and "AL HUKUMATUL ISLAMIA." It is from these books that one would discover the false Islam as propagated by the Iranians. It would further help us to stop their fierce propaganda work in South Africa. Alhamdulillah! The Sunnis, with the help of Quranic commentaries, examples from the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the history of the Khulafa-e-Rashideen and the history of the Sahaba-eKiraam (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in), Tableegh work and Islamic propagation is vigorous and successful amongst the South African Muslim communities. However, the Shia movement has attempted to undermine and retard the good Islamic propagation work carried out by the Sunnis. The Shia brand of Islam or so-called "Islam" incorporates the following beliefs:a. The HOLY QURAN in its present form is MUHARRAF (i.e. it has been changed and it is in an incomplete form). b. The KHULAFA-E-RASHIDEEN - The first three Khulafa who ruled after Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), namely, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu), Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (radi Allahu anhu) and Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (radi Allahu anhu) are regarded as wicked and sinful; and insults are heaped upon the beloved Companions of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to the extent that they are called MURTADD or apostate(one who is out of the fold of Islam). It is the responsibility of every Muslim to use every means at his or her disposal to wipe out the pest of Shia'ism and propagate the TRUE form of Islam.
9. Imaamat is the fifth pillar of Islam, the rejection of which amounts to Kufr. All the above Shia'ite beliefs are in direct conflict with established Islamic practices as shown by Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and the teachings of the Holy Quran. The lives and character of the illustrious Sahaba (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) have been confirmed by both Muslim and non-Muslim historians alike. The distorted views regarding the Sahabas, as presented by the Shia'ites, contradicts confirmed historical proof on the lives of the Sahabas. The Shia'ites believe that Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) was without distinction the first Caliph. They reject the Khilaafat of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu), Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (radi Allahu anhu) and Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (radi Allahu anhu).
HAZRAT ALI ON HAZRAT ABU BAKR AND HAZRAT UMAR (RADI ALLAHU ANHUM AJMA'IN)
The Muslim Revivalist (Mujaddid) of the 14th Century, A'LA HAZRAT IMAAM AHMED RAZA AL-QADERI (RADI ALLAHU ANHU) in his book, "GHAYATUT TAHQEEQ FI IMAAMATUL 'ALI AS SIDDEEQ," quotes from "SAWA IQUL MUHARRIQAH" that: "Imaam Abul Qaasim Ismaeel Muhammad Bin Al Fazl Balkhi in his Kitaab, 'AS SUNNAH' stated that Imaam ibn Hajjar Makki reported that Alqamah (radi Allahu anhu) narrated that Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) was once informed that some people declared that he (Hazrat Ali) is higher in status than Hazraat Shaykhain (Abu Bakr and Umar) - radi Allahu anhuma. "Upon hearing this, he (Hazrat Ali) stood on the mimbar and declared after praises to Allah and His Messenger (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), 'O People! News had reached me that some people are saying that I have a higher status than Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) and Umar (radi Allahu anhu). Had I clarified the ruling earlier on this matter, then the subscribers to such a view would have certainly been punished by me. " 'As from today, whosoever is heard to make such utterances is a slanderer (MUFTARI), and he shall be liable for the punishment of a slanderer, which is 80 lashes.' "Thereafter, he (Hazrat Ali) said, 'Without any doubt, after Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the most excellent in the Ummah is Hazrat Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu), followed by Umar, and after him Allah knows best whose status appears next.'" "Alqamah states that Sayyiduna Hassan Mujtaba (radi Allahu anhu) was present in that gathering and remarked, 'By Allah! If he (Hazrat Ali) was to make mention of the third name (after Umar Farooq), he would have mentioned the name of Uthman (radi Allahu anhu).' "
(Abu Bakr - radi Allahu anhu - and Umar -radi Allahu anhu) or they had similar intentions of becoming the government in power. "If they (the Muslims) did not side them (Abu Bakr - radi Allahu anhu - and Umar - radi Allahu anhu) then it was certain that they did not have the courage to speak out against those who behaved badly towards Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and his beloved daughter (Fathima - radi Allahu anha). "In short, even if mention was made in the Quran in clear words on this matter (The succession of Ali - radi Allahu anhu - as Caliph), they would not have changed their intentions, and even at the Command of Allah they would not have given up the seat (of Government). "Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu), who had harboured pre-meditated plans, if anything, would have falsely forged a Hadith to put an end to this matter, just as he had done so to prevent Hazrat Fathima (radi Allahu anha) from receiving her inheritance. And it was not impossible for Umar (radi Allahu anhu) in the matter regarding the Imaamat and Khilaafat of Ali (radi Allahu anhu) to negate such a verse (regarding the Khilaafat of Ali - radi Allahu anhu) either by saying that there was a mistake in Allah's Revelation of the Ayah, or that Gibraeel had erred in transmitting (Allah's Message) correctly to Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)." (KASHFUL ASRAR, PAGES 119-120)
WHAT THE GREAT SAINTS AND SCHOLARS HAVE SAID IN REFUTATION OF THE BELIEFS OF THE SHIAS
IMAM-I-RABBANI SHAIKH AHMAD SIRHINDI MUJADDID ALF THANI (RADI ALLAHU ANHU), who lived almost 400 years ago, has written a good deal about the Shias and their sect in many of his letters. He confirms the Caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu). In his famous book, "RADD -E-RAWAAFID", he states: Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) acknowledged Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique's (radi Allahu anhu) Caliphate willingly. The Shias, who knew this fact said, "He admitted it unwillingly." The Shias did not make any further comments.
They said, "We know, O Umar." Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu) went on, "Is anyone among you higher than Abu Bakr?" The Ansar replied: "We trust ourselves to Allah's protection from considering ourselves higher than Abu Bakr." Then, Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu) asked, "Who among you would tolerate to remove Abu Bakr from the ranking office where Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) appointed him?" The Ansar said, "None of us will tolerate it. We trust ourselves with Allah's protection from removing Abu Bakr." With the co-operation of the Muhajirs, they appointed Hazrat Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) as the Khalifa. Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Zubair (radi Allahu anhuma) came later. Both accepted the Khalifa. Hazrat Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) stood up three times and said each time, "Is there anyone among you who has given up choosing me as the Khalifa?" Hazrat Ali who was sitting in the front stood up and said, "None of us gives up. Nor shall we ever think of giving up. Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has put you ahead of us. Who on earth can remove you?" Thus, we have heard through strong and sound witnesses that the person who wanted Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu) to become the Khalifa and uttered the most influential words, was Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu). For example, after the Camel Event, Hazrat Abdullah bin Kawa (radi Allahu anhu) came to Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) and said, "Did Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) tell you anything about the Caliphate?" Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) replied, "First we mind our duty concerning the Deen. The archstone of the Deen is Salaah. And we like and choose for the world what Allah Ta'ala and His Messenger (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) have chosen from among us. We have therefore chosen Abu Bakr as the Khalifa." As Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was sick during the final days of his life, he appointed Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu) as the Imaam in his place so that he would conduct the Salaah. Each time Hazrat Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) called the Adhan, Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to say, "Tell Abu Bakr to be the Imaam for the people." He used to say this repeatedly. This was taken to imply that after his demise Hazrat Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) would be most suitable for Caliphate, and that each of Umar, Uthman and Ali (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) was the most suitable for the Caliphate among the people of his time.
