12th Imaam of the Shiites The similarity between SHI'ITES rituals and Christian rituals WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE IN KILLING OF KARBALÂ? |
Here we come to
Expose Tawheed in Shias thought , Shia Believes in one God
like other Muslims , but Tawheed is not a saying , it is a
practice also. Prayers , Bowing , Hajj , Asking things to be in future is
the hand of Allah only , and if someone do such things to any
creation then he is committing a shirk and being a disbeliever
, what about someone who is bowing to human like him , forgetting
that he is a human , but knowing only that he is his Imam. Bowing can't be even a kind of respect , Islam had giving
this right to Allah only as the prophet Muhammad said in his Ahaadeeth.
I would like to ask the Shi'ites in all parts of the world to
think deeply about the statements they read in their visits to
the grave sites of the imams, those statements which have no
benefit to them or to the imams. Once more, I would like to
hold the Shia religious leadership responsible for leading
the Shi'ites down this road. Until this day, I have not been
able to find one book of reference among the Shia books that
suggests reading the noble Qur'ân instead of those statements
when visiting the grave sites of the imams. I do not know why
the Shi'ites ignore the words of Allah and depend on the words
of people. Even though supposedly these words could have been
the authentic words of an imam, why do we prefer his words to
those of Allah? If the purpose of the visit is to gain reward
in the hereafter, reading the noble Qur'ân guarantees that
reward. And if the purpose is to honor the imam, reading the Qur'ân
guarantees this as well. I am fully aware and certain that the
theory of reform will face the classical answer which we hear
too often from our Fuqaha, may God forgive them, which is
these visits (statements) came from our imams. Undoubtedly
they know better than we do regarding this matter.
