What is the Belief of the Rafidhah in relation their Imams? The Raafidhah claim that their Imams are infallible and that they know the unseen. Al-Kulaini mentioned in Usool al-Kaafi: 'ImamJa'faras-Sadiqsaid:'Wearethekeepersoftheknowledgeof Allah, we are the interpreters of the commands of Allah. We are infallible,ithasbeenorderedthatwebeobeyedandnotdisobeyed. We are the clear sign of Allah on the earth and in the heavens.' Al-Kulaini says in al-Kafi: 'Chapter: If the Imams wish to know they will know.' Ja'far said: 'Indeed if an Imam wishes to know he will know. The Imams know when they will die, and they only die by choice.' Al-Khomeini mentioned in his book 'Tahreer al-Waseelah': 'Indeed our Imams have an exalted status, a lofty position and a natural caliphate to which all creation submits.' He also said: 'The twelve Imams have lofty positions with Allah. No close Angel or beloved Prophet has reached that position.'1 The Raafidhah adulate their Imams so much so that they favor them over all Prophets except Prophet Muhammad. AlMajlisi mentioned in his book 'Miraat al-Uqool': 'The twelve

Imams are greater and better than all the Prophets except for our Prophet Muhammad.' The Raafidhah even said, 'the Imams are the rightful caliphs of all creation.' Al-Kho'ie said in his book: 'Misbah al-Fuqahah': 'There is no doubt regarding their guardianship over the creation as is clear from the narrations, for they are the reason behind the creation. Through them creation is brought about and from them life comes forth. Had it not been for them, the creation would not be brought into existence. This Wilayah is similar to that of Allah's power over creation.'1 We seek refuge with Allah from this extremism and deviation! How can those Imams be the 'reason behind creation?' How can they be instrumental in the creation of all people? How can people be created for the sakes of the Imams? Allah says: pAnd I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Meo. (Quran 51:56)

We seek refuge with Allah from these devious beliefs which are distant from the Quran and Sunnah. Sheik Islam b. Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 'The Raafidhah claim that the Deen is given to the Rabbis and Monks who then decide what is Halal (lawful) and what is

Haram (unlawful), to them the Deen is that which their Imams have sanctioned for them.'1 Dear reader, if you want to see open polytheism and disbelief you have but to read the following lines of poetry said by their Sheik Ibrahim al-Aa'mili, who talks about Ali b. Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him: Abu Hasan you are the eye of the God You are the sign of His lofty abilities You are the one who knows the unseen Nothing escapes your infinite knowledge You are the controller of all creation To you belong its large bodies of water. To you belongs the command, you but wish and you will live tomorrow Another whose name is Ali b. Sulaiman al-Mazidi said upon praising Ali b. Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him: O Abu Hasan you are the husband of alButool You are the side of the God and the Soul of the Messenger You are the full moon and the sunshine of the intellect The Prophet called you on the unsettled day And stated that you were to lead in al-Ghadeer For you are the leader of all believers

By Allah, even the polytheists who were around before the advent of Islam never said a thing like this!

What is the reality behind the belief of 'ArRaj'ah' that the Raafidhah believe in?

The Raafidhah have innovated the idea of 'ar-raj'ah' (return to life after death). Al-Mofeed said: 'The Imamates unanimously agree that many of the dead will be brought back to life.' They believe that their last Imam 'Al-Qa'im' who will emerge towards the end of time from his tunnel, will slaughter all his opponents, including those who didn't agree with him in political issues. He will give back the Shi'ites their rights that have been taken away from them throughout the ages.1 As-Sayyid al-Mortada said in his book 'Al-Masail anNasiryah' that Abu Bakr and Umar will both be crucified on a tree that will be known during the time of al-Mahdi, who is their twelfth Imam. To them he is known as Qa'im Aali Muhammad. The tree they will supposedly be crucified on will be a healthy one and will turn dry after they are crucified on it.2 Al-Majlisi said in his book 'Haq al-Yaqeen' that Muhammad al-Baqir said: 'When the Mahdi appears, he will revive

1 - Awa'il al-Maqalat for al-Mofeed pg. 51 2 - Al-Khotoot al-Areedah for Muhib'bid deen al-Khateeb pg. 80

A'ishah, mother of the believers, and will administer on her the proper castigatory punishment.'1 The concept of 'ar-raj'ah' has witnessed much development. It has been stated that all the Shi'ite Imams will be brought back to life along with all their opponents. This ridiculous belief actually shows you the enmity they hold against Muslims. Surprisingly enough this belief was used to reject the belief in the Last Day. Basically, this belief deals with revenge from the opponents of the Shi'ites. The question that has to be asked is who are the opponents of the Shi'ites? The following narration shows you the hatred the Shi'ites harbor in themselves against the Sunni Muslims and how closely they stand with the Christians and Jews. Al-Majlisi mentioned in his book 'Bihaar al-Anwaar' that Abu Basir related that Abu Abdullah said that he said to me: 'O Abu Muhammad, its as though I am witnessing the time in which al-Qa'im will descend in as-Sahlah Mosque with his wives and family.' It was then mentioned: 'What will happen to the people of Dhimmah (i.e. Christians and Jews)? He said: 'We will make a treaty with them as the Messenger of Allah (|) did. They are to give Jizyah (head tax) in a lowly manner.' I asked: 'How about those who opposed you?' He said: 'No Abu Muhammad, those who oppose us have no share in our state. Allah has legalized for us to shed their blood when Qa'im comes forth. Today it is unlawful for us to do this, let no one fool you.

1 - Haq al-Yaqeen for Muhammad al-Baqir pg. 347

When al-Qa'im comes forth he will avenge for us and for the Messenger of Allah.'1 Dear brother/sister in Islam look at how the Mahdi of the Shi'ites will make peace with the Jews and Christians and fight the Sunni Muslims! One may say, those who will be killed are those who openly display enmity towards them, and AhlusSunnah do not hold enmity towards the family of the Prophet (|). In response to this, we say: 'There are many narrations in which the Raafidhah talk about the Nasibah, and when explained those who are meant by this are the Sunni Muslims.' One can read 'Al-Mahaasin an-Nafsaaniyah' for Husain Aal Asfoor ad-Drazi al-Bahrani and the book 'Ash-Shehab athThaqib fee bayan ma'na an-Naasib' for Yousef al-Bahrani.

What is the reality behind the belief of 'AtTuqyah' that the Raafidhah believe in? At-Tuqyah was defined by one of the present day scholars as: 'To say or do something which conflicts with your belief when you need to alleviate a harm that may befall you, your wealth or your honor.' They said that the Messenger of Allah (|) practiced it when Abdullah b. Ubai b. Salool, the head of the hypocrites, passed away. When the Prophet (|) went to perform prayers on him, Umar said to him: 'Hasn't Allah forbade you to do so?' The Prophet (|) replied: 'Woe to you! Do you know what I said? I said: "O Allah fill his mouth with fire, fill his grave with fire, and admit him into Hell-Fire.'1 Look at how they impute these lies to the Prophet (|)! Is it logical that the Companions all ask Allah to have mercy on him, while the Prophet of mercy curses him?! Al-Kulaini mentioned in his book 'Usool al-Kafi': 'Abu Abdullah said, O Abu Umar, 9/10ths of the faith is in Tuqyah. He who has no Tuqyah has no faith! Tuqyah is to be used in every part of the faith except in alcohol and wiping over the

socks.' Al-Kulaini also reported that Abu Abdullah said: 'Fear for your Deen, hide it away with Tuqyah! The one who has no Tuqyah has no faith.'1 It is also lawful according to the Shi'ites to swear by other than Allah in respect to Tuqyah, we seek refuge with Allah! Al-Hurr al-Aamili in his book 'Wasail ash-She'at' mentioned that Ibn Bukair mentioned that Zurarah mentioned that Abu Ja'far said: 'We indeed pass by those people who ask us to swear by our wealth of which we have paid out its Zakah (compulsory charity).' He said: 'O Zurarah if you are in a state of fear, make an oath with whatever they want you to swear by.' He said: 'May I be your ransom, even by divorce and emancipation of a slave.' He said: 'by whatever they want.' Sa'ma'ah related that Abu Abdullah said: 'If a person makes an oath with Tuqyah, he will not be harmed if he is forced and needs to use it.' The Raafidhah see Tuqyah a must and their religion is not complete without it. They are 'fed' its secrets in public and in private. They use it when they are in a tight situation. O Muslims beware of the Shi'ites!

What is the reality behind the belief of 'AtTeenah' that the Raafidhah believe in?

This belief pertains to the soil of the grave of al-Husain, may Allah be pleased with him. One of their deviants, Muhammad an-Nu'man al-Harithi - known as 'Ash-Sheik alMofeed' (i.e. the beneficial Sheik), mentioned in his book 'AlMazar' that Abu Abdullah said: 'In the soil of the grave of alHusain there is a cure from every sickness and it is the greatest cure.' Abdullah said: 'Put the soil of al-Husain in the mouths of your children.' He said: 'Some clothes were sent to Abu al-Husain ar-Rida from Khurasan, in which was some soil. He asked the Messenger: 'What is this?' He said: 'Soil from the grave of alHusain, he does not send any clothes or anything else unless there is a portion of this soil in that thing.' He would say: 'This is a sign of safety, by the will of Allah.' The man asked as-Sadiq about taking the soil of the grave of al-Husain and as-Sadiq said to him: 'When you take it, say: "O Allah I ask you by the right of the king who took it, and by the right of the Prophet who stored it, and by the right of the proper appointee to praise the Prophet Muhammad and his
