What is the Belief of the Rawaafidh in relation to the Quran that we have today?

The Rafidhah of today, known as the Shi'ites state that the Quran we have in our possession is not the Quran that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (|). They claim it has been tampered with and verses have been removed and others put in. The majority of the Shi'ite Traditionalists believe that the Quran has been tampered with as is mentioned by an-Noori atTabrisi in his book: 'Faslul-Khetaab fi Tahreef Ke'tab Rab'bil Arbaab'. Muhammad b. Yaqoob al-Kulaini said in his book 'Usool al-Kafi' under the chapter: 'No one was able to gather the Quran except for the Imams': 'Jabir said that Abu Ja'far said: 'No one claims to have gathered the Quran, but is a liar. No one was able to gather it and memorize it as it was revealed by Allah except Ali b. Abi Talib and the Imams that came after him.' Jabir also reported that Abu Jafar said: 'No one can claim to have gathered the entire Quran except for the Imams.' Hisham b. Salim reported that Abu Abdullah said: 'Indeed the Quran that was brought by Jibreel to Muhammad had 17000 verses.'

This means that the Quran the Raafidhah claim to have is more than the Quran we have today by three times! We seek refuge with Allah from them! Ahmed at-Tabrasi said in his book: 'Al-Ihtijaaj' that Umar said to Zaid b. Thabit: 'Indeed Ali brought the Quran while in it the shameful affairs of the Muhajireen and Ansar were unveiled.' Zaid attested to this, and then said: 'When I finish gathering the Quran as you have instructed me to do, will not the complete Quran that is with Ali render my work void?' Umar said: 'What should we do?' Zaid said: 'You know better how to make tricks!' Umar then said: 'There is no solution, except that we kill him and are at peace from him. He then panned out a scheme to kill him through Khalid b. al-Walid, but he was incapable of carrying it out.' When Umar became the Khalifah, he asked Ali to give him the Quran, so that he could change it. Umar said: 'O AbulHasan, why don't you bring forth the Quran, which you presented to Abu Bakr, so that we can gather upon it.' He said: 'Impossible, do not even try! I only brought it forth to Abu Bakr so that the evidences could be established against him and so that you would not say on the Day of Resurrection: 'We were ignorant of this' or that you say: 'You have not brought it forth.' This Quran can only be touched by the pure and the regents of the Prophet. Umar said: 'Will there be a time wherein it will be made apparent?' Ali said: 'Yes, when the Mahdi comes forth, he will make it apparent.' No matter how much the Shi'ites appear to have cast aside

the book of an-Noori at-Tabrasi, an apparent display of Taqiyah, this book holds hundreds of textual evidences from their scholars and from their own source books, which clearly proves that they believe the Quran we have today is distorted, but because they do not want to cause a commotion regarding their beliefs about the Quran, they try to distance themselves from this belief. So it seems that there are two versions of the Quran; the first is known to us and the second is a secret, hidden away from the eyes of people. Of the chapters that are hidden away is the chapter of al-Wilayah, which the Shi'ites claim was removed from the Quran, as was mentioned by An-Noorsi at-Tabrasi in his book: 'Faslul Khitaab fi Tahreef ke'taab rab'bil arbaab'. He also mentioned that a verse 'wa rafa'na laka dhikrak' which they claim was dropped from Surat ash-Sharh (Chapter 94). The Shi'ites are not ashamed to say this openly, even though it is well known that this chapter was revealed in Makkah and Ali at that time was not married to the Prophet's daughter.

What is the Belief of the Raafidhah in relation to the Companions of the Prophet ( )? | The Rafidhah swear at them and impute disbelief to them, may Allah be pleased with all the Companions. Al-Kulaini said in his book 'Foroo al-Kafi' that Ja'far said: 'People apostatized after the death of the Prophet (|) except for three.' He was asked, 'Who are the three?' He said: 'Al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad, Abu Dharr al-Ghifari and Salman al-Farsi'.1 Al-Majlisi said in 'Bihaar al-Anwaar' that a freed slave of Ali b. al-Husain said: 'I was with Ali during his free time and I said to him: 'Indeed I have a right to know about Abu Bakr and Umar. He said: 'They are Kaafir; whoever loves them is Kaafir as well.' On the authority of Abu Hamzah ath-Thumali that he asked Ali b. al-Husain about Abu Bakr and Umar and he said: 'They are Kaafir; whoever stands with them is Kaafir as well.'2 In the Tafsir of al-Qummi, at the exegesis of verse 90 of Surah an-Nahl: pIndeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to 1 - Foroo al-Kafi pg. 115 2 - Bihaar al-Anwaar, by Al-Majlisi vol. 69 pg. 137-8. It is important for us to note that Ali bl al-Husain and all the family of the Prophet are innocent of these lies that have been fabricated by the Raafidhah.

relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression .o (Quran 16 :90)

He said: 'Immorality signifies Abu Bakr, bad conduct signifies Umar and oppression signifies Uthman.'1 Al-Majlisi in Bihaar al-Anwaar said: 'The reports that indicate the apostasy of Abu Bakr, Umar and their likes, and the reward of cursing them and declaring one's innocence from them are great in number and cannot all be mentioned in this volume or in many volumes. What we have mentioned is sufficient for him whom Allah wants to guide.'2 Al-Majlisi has mentioned in Bihaar al-Anwaar many narrations that indicate that Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Muawiyah, may Allah be pleased with them all, are in caskets of Fire, we seek refuge with Allah from this evil!3 In his book 'Ihqaaq al-Haq' al-Mar'ishi, said: 'Al'laahum'ma sal'lee ala Muhammad wa ala Aa'lee Muhammad wul'an sanamai Quraish wa jibtaihima wa taghootaihima wabnatai'hema.' Meaning: 'O Allah praise Prophet Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and curse the 'two idols' of Quraish and their two Jibt (superstitious) and Taghoot (false objects of worship) and their two daughters.' Meaning: Abu Bakr and Umar, and their daughters A'ishah and Hafsah, may Allah be pleased with them all.

1 - Tafsir al-Qummi vol. 1/390 2 - Bihaar al-Anwaar vol. 30/230 3 - Bihaar al-Anwaar 30/236

Al-Majlisi in his treatise known as 'Al-Aqaa'id' (The Creeds) said: 'What is known by necessity in the Imamate faith, is the lawfulness of Mut'ah marriage (temporary marriage), Tamat'tu Hajj and declaring one's self innocent from 'Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, and Mu'awiyah, Yazid b. Muawiyah and all those who fought against Ali, may Allah be pleased with him.' On the Day of Aashoorah, a dog is paraded and is called 'Umar', and is then mercilessly beaten with sticks and stones until it dies. A goat is then paraded which is called 'A'ishah', and its hair is plucked and it is beaten by shoes until it dies.1 They also celebrate the day in which Umar al-Farooq was assassinated. To honor his killer, Abu Lo'loah al-Majoosi, they call him: 'Baba Shujaa ad-Deen.' May Allah be pleased with all the Companions and wives of the Prophet, may Allah praise him. Dear brother/sister in Islam, look at how this deviant sect despises the best of creation after the Prophets and Messengers. Allah and His Messenger both have praised them and the Ummah has unanimously come to know of their trustworthiness, virtue and merit and Jihad in the path of Allah.

Common Traits between Jews and Raafidhah

Sheik al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 'The sign of this is that the ordeal of the Raafidhah is similar to that of the Jews. The Jews said kingship can only be in the family of Dawood and the Raafidhah said that Imamate can only be from the children of Ali.' The Jews said: 'There can be no Jihad in the path of Allah until the Pseudo-Christ emerges forth and the command to fight is given. The Raafidhah said: 'There is no Jihad in the path of Allah until the Mahdi emerges and a caller calls from the heavens to fight.' The Jews delay their prayers till the stars are ablaze at night and the Raafidhah delay the Maghrib prayer till that time at night. The Prophet (|) said: "My Ummah will be in a state of good affairs as long as they do not delay the Maghrib prayer till the stars are ablaze at night." (Ahmed, Abu Dawood and Ibn Majah - Hasan)

The Jews distorted the Torah, as did the Raafidhah with the Quran. The Jews do not see it lawful to wipe over the socks during ablution, as is the belief of the Raafidhah. The Jews despise Jibreel, and they say: 'He is our enemy

from amongst the Angels.' The Raafidhah say: 'Jibreel made a mistake in giving the Wahi (revelation) to Prophet Muhammad.'1 The Raafidhah also agreed with the Christians in relation to the dowry; they do not give their wives dowry, for the Raafidhah believe in temporary marriages and see it as lawful. The Jews and Christians are better than the Raafidhah, for whentheJewswereaskedwhothebestofallJewswere,theyreplied 'thecompanionsofMusa'andwhentheChristianswereaskedwho the best of all Christians were, they said the companions of Jesus. And when the Raafidhah were asked who the worst amongst them were, they said the Companions of Prophet Muhammad.2 The Jews divide people into two categories, Jews and other nations. The other nations include anyone who is not a Jew. The Jews believe that they themselves are the believers. As for other nations, they believe them to be polytheists, disbelievers who know nothing about Allah. It is mentioned in the Talmud: 'All nations other than the Jews are polytheists'. Their Rabbis inculcate this teaching among the Jews. Jesus himself was not safe from their treachery. In the Talmud it is mentioned that Jesus was a 'disbeliever who knew nothing about Allah.'

1 - There is a group of Raafidhah who claim that Jibreel was treacherous in delivering the Message and gave it to Muhammad instead. Ali was more righteous than the Prophet in this regard! Dear Muslim look at this flagrant lie, Allah says: 'The Trustworthy Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] has brought it down' what do you say about this belief my dear Muslim? 2 - Minhaj as-Sunnah for Sheik Islam b. Taymiyyah 1/24.

The Raafidhah believe themselves to be the only believers; all other groups other than them are non-Muslim, who have apostatized and have no share in Islam. The reason the Raafidhah impute disbelief to other Muslims is that they do not recognize the Wilayah (guardianship/power) of their Imams. The Raafidhah consider this to be a pillar of Islam. According to them, a Muslim who does not believe in Wilayah is a non-believer, similar to a Muslim who disbelieves in the Testimony of Faith and prayers. The Wilayah is given priority over all the pillars of Islam. Al-Burqi narrated that Abu Abdullah said: 'There is no true believer except us and our Shi'ite brethren, and all other people are not true believers.' In the exegesis of al-Qummi it is narrated that Abu Abdullah said: 'There is no one on the religion of Islam except us until the Day of Resurrection.'1
