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

A thorough study of Shi’ism will divulge that instead of being a branch within Isl\u0101m, Shi’ism <\/span>is a totally distinct and remote religion that does not have any affiliation with Isl\u0101m. Actually <\/span>Shi’ism is a sect which stems from Judaism, which was cunningly established under the <\/span>name of Islam. Shi’ism contradicts all the fundamental beliefs and teachings of the pristine <\/span>faith of Islam. Shi’ites claim to be Muslims but their beliefs do not only contradict the <\/span>teachings of Islam but are also hostile, deceptive and harmful in its very nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Since Abdullah Ibn Sabah’s religion (Shi’ism) was nothing but his own concoction based <\/span>upon hypocrisy and lies, he personally implemented its fallacious tricks and encouraged his <\/span>followers to do the same against Muslims. He adopted a host of tactics for different Muslims <\/span>of diferent circles. For instance, to some he preached that Sayyidina Ali (\u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647) was the ‘Wasi” <\/span>(successor) of Nabi \ufdfa and he was the only person who was legally entitled to the Khilafah <\/span>after the demise of Nabi \ufdfa ; and the other Caliphs of Isl\u0101m had usurped the Khilafah by <\/span>force and had deprived him of his legitimate right.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, it was incumbent upon every Muslim to expose and fight against the <\/span>supposedly cruel treatment meted to Sayyidina Ali (\u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647) by the first three Caliphs of Isl\u0101m. To <\/span>others, he convinced that Sayyidina Ali (\u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647) was the final prophet of Isl\u0101m. To others he went <\/span>to the extent of declaring that Sayyidina Ali (\u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647) was not a mere man but was God’s incarnation <\/span>on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since his only objective was to confuse the minds of the Muslims against the rightly guided <\/span>Khulafah, he always had a new tale up his sleeve to serve his evil objectives. It is clear that <\/span>Shi’ism was introduced as an anti-Islamic movement by a group of spiteful Jews whose <\/span>ultimate purpose was to corrupt and debase the pristine teachings and tenets of Isl\u0101m, thus <\/span>putting an end to the progress and success of Islam and mankind at large.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
