Behind the Curtain

Sadly, it is generally believed, both by Muslims and non-Muslims throughout the world that Shi’ism is a branch of Islam. It is mostly believed that there are no fundamental differences between the pristine teachings of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah (Sunnis) and the teachings of Shi’ism.

A thorough study of Shi’ism will divulge that instead of being a branch within Islām, Shi’ism is a totally distinct and remote religion that does not have any affiliation with Islām. Actually Shi’ism is a sect which stems from Judaism, which was cunningly established under the name of Islam. Shi’ism contradicts all the fundamental beliefs and teachings of the pristine faith of Islam. Shi’ites claim to be Muslims but their beliefs do not only contradict the teachings of Islam but are also hostile, deceptive and harmful in its very nature.

Every religion recommends a code of conduct for its adherents and this code contains certain injunctions and prohibitions. However, no religion has ever recommended or approved of lying, cheating, backbiting or any other practice of the same genre.

Since Abdullah Ibn Sabah’s religion (Shi’ism) was nothing but his own concoction based upon hypocrisy and lies, he personally implemented its fallacious tricks and encouraged his followers to do the same against Muslims. He adopted a host of tactics for different Muslims of diferent circles. For instance, to some he preached that Sayyidina Ali (رضي الله عنه) was the ‘Wasi” (successor) of Nabi ﷺ and he was the only person who was legally entitled to the Khilafah after the demise of Nabi ﷺ ; and the other Caliphs of Islām had usurped the Khilafah by force and had deprived him of his legitimate right.

According to him, it was incumbent upon every Muslim to expose and fight against the supposedly cruel treatment meted to Sayyidina Ali (رضي الله عنه) by the first three Caliphs of Islām. To others, he convinced that Sayyidina Ali (رضي الله عنه) was the final prophet of Islām. To others he went to the extent of declaring that Sayyidina Ali (رضي الله عنه) was not a mere man but was God’s incarnation on earth.

Since his only objective was to confuse the minds of the Muslims against the rightly guided Khulafah, he always had a new tale up his sleeve to serve his evil objectives. It is clear that Shi’ism was introduced as an anti-Islamic movement by a group of spiteful Jews whose ultimate purpose was to corrupt and debase the pristine teachings and tenets of Islām, thus putting an end to the progress and success of Islam and mankind at large.
