Nafizzey:I think your question is very personal. What you choose to do and with who is a matter of individual choices. Mut'ah is never meant to be obligatory. You don't have to do it. But theoretically, it is very much wrong to make forbidden in the religion of Allah what Allah has made permissible. I'm certain majority of Shia if not the overwhelming majority settle for permanent marriage and not mut'ah. They even settle for monogamy and not polygamy. The Almighty says: Marry One.... Just like polygamy that Christians can use as a weapon to try to tarnish the image of Muslims with, the case of mut'ah for the Shia is same. People use it as an excuse to label the Shia because they simply say this option was not made forbidden, regardless if individuals do practice it or not. For the conditions to do mut'ah (which must be in writing) and how to do it and with who you can do it, i.e if you choose to do it and you have a person who also makes a personal choice to do it, please review: www.mutah.com |
Newnas:Mut'ah is not a pre-Islamic Jahiliyyah practice as you claimed. what would happen to verse 4:24? you cannot therefore compare Mut'ah to a Jahiliyyah practice like alcohol consumption. in the Holy Quran Allah (swt) first revealed in verse 2:219 that in alcohol is greater harm than good. then in verse 4:43 it was revealed not to approach prayer in a state of drunkenness. Then in verse 5:90 it was revealed that alcohol is an abomination and the work of shaitan, so avoid it. no where in the Holy Quran after the revelation of verse 4:24 was Mut'ah gradually discouraged. you may provide us with a verse, like in the case of alcohol, where Mut'ah was forbidden. you cannot! secondly, there were sahaba born out of Mut'ah and there are records in Sunni Sihah books that it was practiced after the death of the Prophet (s) by Sahaba revered highly by Sunnis, and the idea of it being prohibited came during the time of the second Sunni caliph Umar Ibn al-Khattab. the Shia sheikhs could not have "fabricated" hadiths in highly revered Sunni books such as Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim even though there are numerous Shia narrators accepted as trustworthy in the Sihah hadith of the Sunnis. and yet, many hadiths did not find their way into Bukhari and Muslims because hadiths in Bukhari and Muslim were cherry picked to conform to certain ways, beliefs and concepts held by the authorities of the time. clearly, Mut'ah marriage is a subject of dispute between the Sunnis and Shia. again, you come to my point that the contention is whether or not Mut'ah was forbidden by the Prophet (s) in the long run or whether he never forbade it. it is wrong to call it "evil" when it is authorized in the Quran and there is no verse prohibiting or abrogating it in the Quran. the Quran takes precedence over hadiths. the hadiths cannot abrogate the Quran if the Quran does not abrogate itself. in fact, we do not even believe in abrogation. what is in the Quran is valid for all times. it is true you cannot compare Misyar and Mut'ah. it did not even exist in the time of Jahiliyyah, nor was it practiced at the time of the Prophet (s). Misyar has no place in the Quran and Sunnah. complete bid'ah and can rightly be called pro$titution. you are clutching at straws and trying hard to make a response. the facts are there regardless of the adjectives you use to label a Sunnah of the Prophet (s). |

Newnas:Thanks! But I wasn't arguing with you. I'm only teaching you things you ignore or don't know. I'm trying to remind you as we are taught in the Holy Quran that "the reminder might be of gain to the believers", whether you're thankful or unthankful. |

MrOlai:Mr Olai, how can you call something that at a point in time was permitted by the Prophet "evil"? From all account, Sunnis agree that mut'ah was at a point in time-during the lifetime of the holy Prophet-permissible and also practiced by the sahabah. The Shia differ in that they insist mut'ah was never made forbidden later on by the Prophet (s), but it was prohibited by the second Sunni caliph Umar and see that prohibition as bid'ah. That is the point of contention: whether it ceased to be permissible or not. Aside, it can be described as a "discontinued Sunnah" at worst, and was practiced during the lifetime of the Prophet by the sahabah. Your Hadith books record sahabah who were born out of mut'ah. How can you then refer to it as evil? Mut'ah marriage carry all the conditions of permanent Islamic marriage, and the only exception being that it is with a limited timeframe/expiration. Also, a virgin or a dependent female cannot practice it on her own without the consent of her male family guardian. Likewise in permanent marriage, a dependent must seek permission of her male guardian. As for the article, I stopped reading where it is stated that a child born out of mut'ah cannot inherit from his father. I also wanted to stop before that where I read that mut'ah is about a man paying a woman to satisfy desires. These are fabrications and lies just to discredit the Shia for holding on to a Sunnah and rejecting a bid'ah by Umar and nothing more. Mut'ah is a remedy to pro$titution and widows and divorcees. Since you refer to it as "one of the evils Shia people are spreading on the land", can you tell us more about "the evils Sunni people are spreading in the land?" Have you heard of MISYAR pro$titution? At least mut'ah is Sunnah and supported in the Quran in verse 4:24. But misyar practiced in Saudi is not. What of JIHADUN NIKAH (Sunni girls ganged ra.ped by Sunni fighters as their contribution to "jihad" ) practiced in Syria by Sunni terrorists? Is that not evil? What of adult brea$feeding? Is that good and Islamic to you? You guys should stop your filthy ignorance against the Shia. This hate of yours will not stop the Shia ideology and the teachings of the Ahlul Bayt, which is nothing but pure Islam in accordance with the Holy Quran and the Sunnah. You cannot fight a faith or beliefs which live in people's minds and hearts with lies and intimidation. It wouldn't work. It will only depict you as filthy or a foul ignoramus. And by Allah, these false accusations and propaganda will only harm Islam in general and all of us as Muslims in eyes of non Muslims. Even in the bible mut'ah is there. It can be compared to concubinage which prophets of Allah are recorded to have practiced, e.g. Prophet Solomon (as). May Allah guide us all. |

Inna lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi rajiun |
superstar1:Do you mind telling and explaining who do you think is the "oppressed" and who is the "oppressor" in all of this and after all said and done. Thank you. |
guru1234:Did he really give bay'ah? You need to research please. Aside, we are not to discriminate in our beliefs on the prophets of Allah. Not on the sahaba who are even criticized/condemned and also praised in the Holy Quran. Of course, they were not uniform. Amongst them were the good, the bad and the ugly. |
Rrankdonga: |
guru1234:do not "bro" me into darkness. i'm no bro of you in that. even if we agree verse 159 of chapter 6 has nothing to do with verse 154, and it has to do with people in the time of the Prophet (s), then how does a word (shia, in the indefinitive sense) being used got to do with the Shia of Imam Ali (as)? whether or not its in the time of the Prophet (s), if you are a shia of darkness and misguidance, then it is wrong. in fact, if those "shia" condemned were in the day of the Prophet (s), then you have a lot more to answer. those were definitely not the Shia of Ali (as), but some deviant sahaba (contemporaries of the Prophet) who are described in Surat al-Munafiqun as staunch in hypocrisy. this goes to show that NOT ALL of those companions who declared their faith in Islam were genuinely Muslim. therefore the Shia of Ali (as) are justified in their approach of only honoring the companions who abide by the Thaqalain (Quran and Alul-Bayt). secondly, i would agree with you that the word is "completely" bad, if you agree to condemn Prophet Ibrahim (as), as he is described in the Quran as a shia of Noah (as). then, you must also condemn the third Sunni caliph (Usthman) for having his own shia. the word "sunnah" has no negative connotation. agreed. but were you told to use or rather abuse that word to create a deviant "shia" (following/division) and tag yourself with the name to be different? and who first gave you that name? and whose sunnah do you really follow? i already presented a link on that topic. you should review it if you please. i also gave you hadiths from the mouth of the Prophet (s) saying good about the "Shia of Ali". is that not enough? rather, misusing a positive word (sunnah) to create division after the death of the Prophet (s) is what appeals to you because your ancestors were converted at the point of the sword (not the word) to overwhelmingly follow one strain of Islam, however deviated that strain was/is. ancestor worship has no place in the Islam of Muhammad (s). |
Bismillah...let us start from the first point, since everything here is copy/paste gibberish. the first point you made is that Allah has spoken "bad" about the "Shia" in the Quran. the verse 6:159 in reference has to do with verse 6:154 as continuation and Banu Israeel before the birth of Prophet Muhammad (s). so one only wonders how this verse refers to the Shia/Muslims of the nation/religion of Muhammad (s), even if the word was used "bad". second point, in the Holy Quran, the word "Shia" is also used in a positive sense. in Quranic verse 37:83 : "And most surely Abraham was among the Shi’a of him (i.e., Noah)” you can also check Holy Quran 28:15 where the believing follower/companion of Prophet Musa (as) is called "Shia" by Allah (swt). the Prophet Muhammad (s) used the word "Shia" positively in reference to the loyalists of Imam Ali (as) amongst the Sahaba. The Prophet said: "Ali and his Shia shall be the saved ones on the Day of Judgment". if you are making your case based on the name, then the word is used both positively and negatively in the Holy Quran. the difference is to be a "shia" of the person Allah (swt) approves of and not a "shia" of the enemy of Allah and His prophets, nor someone who become a nominal "shia" of an evil person or be "shia" to do evil. be Shia to do good. followers of Usthman, the third Sunni caliph, were also called "shia of Usthman". were they evil too? according to Imam Baqir (as), those verse 6:159 refers to are the people who have abandoned the Hadith al-Thaqalain, the Declaration of Ghadir Khumm by Prophet Muhammad (s) and the people who have abandoned the Ahlul-Bayt (as). those are the people condemned by the Quran for splitting apart (from the truth) and forming groups away from the truth in Islam. you can find out more: "The Term Shi’a in Qur’an and Hadith" http://www.al-islam.org/shiite-encyclopedia-ahlul-bayt-dilp-team/term-shia-quran-and-hadith now tell us who gave you the name "Sunni" or "Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah"? check this: "Why It Is Bid'ah, Forbidden And Sinful To Be "Sunni" https://www.nairaland.com/1001212/why-it-bidah-forbidden-sinful your arguments, which are copy/paste, and red herrings and loads of rubbish and shallow thinking are therefore not worthy of genuine responses and the time it would take reasonable people on this forum to dissect the many false and shallow claims and respond to one after the other. the copy/paste is meant to overwhelm by the magnitude of its overloaded claims and forgeries so as to dissuade anyone from attempting to disprove them. naturally anyone would not venture into such overloaded topics to respond to them all. and i sincerely doubt you have read and understood (talk less of researching on all the claims of) the copy/paste works you have presented. and i doubt others too would bother to even read such gibberish. if you are a follower of truth, you would have attempted a topic/subject at a time in individual threads. discuss it and make your case and get responses. but your intention is to tarnish the name and image of others and to go on the attack. anyways, just from the onset as i have proven above, your thread and claims lack substance for being fake, misinterpretation, forgeries and lies, even though you are not the author but just a propagator of the evil and lies through copy/paste that another person has authored. |

handsomeclouds:The Vikings and the Eskimos :p |
TonyeBarcanista:Wa aleikum assalam Thank you sir. |
handsomeclouds:thanks for the wish. please keep wishing and even praying...as long as you dont kill us, and kill no one for their beliefs. |
Why I Think Shi'a Islam And The Shia Islamic Movement Of Zakzaky Will Continue to Grow in Nigeria after the Zaria Massacre? i explained in my reply to the below post. handsomeclouds:you really have no idea who Shia Muslims are and what they are made up of. if Shi'ism was to die, it would have died after the Tragedy of Karbala. this goes to show that killing Shias and using force against them will only make them stronger. the saying goes that "what does not kill makes you stronger"...for the Shia, it is "what kills makes you stronger"!!! the above are not my words. and i am not saying this because i happen to share the same beliefs with those people you are trying to intimidate. i say this based on historical facts. one of the slogans often repeated by the Shias is the words of Imam Ali Ibn al-Hussain Zaynul-Abideen (a)-the fourth Shia Imam. he is the great grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (s). after the Tragedy of Karbala, and the beheading of his father, Imam Hussain (a)-the grandson of the Prophet (s)-Imam Zaynul Abideen (a) told Yazeed the tyrant the following words: "do you threaten me with death? surely death to us is a tradition, and our honor from Allah is martyrdom". another instance in the history of the Shia is the price they used to pay under the Sunni Abassid and Umayyad dynasties, which were very anti-Shia. to visit the tomb of Imam Hussain (a), the rulers made a rule that every Shia intending to visit that tomb will have to get his arm amputated as a price. the Shia willingly offered their arms to be amputated. the love the Shia have for the family of the holy Prophet Muhammad (s) is a story and traditional of pure loyalty, and love. the epitome of love and dedication. after all the carnage in Zaria, and even if Sheikh Zakzaky does not return alive, Shia Islam will continue to grow in Nigeria and Africa and in the world as a whole. likewise, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria will grow. note that of the estimate 15-25 million Shias in Nigeria, not all Shias follow Zakzaky's Islamic Movement in Nigeria organization, even though Zakzaky's organization is the largest Shia group by far with an estimate of anything between a minimum 3 to a maximum 10 million followers. people who have never heard of the word "Shia" (anglicized "Shi'ite" ) have come to heard of it. you cannot fight a belief or an idea. and going by Shia history, using force and death to threaten or intimidate only gives the Shia more fuel to advance their cause. Shia Muslims use the oppression meted on them to advance their cause. an image of an oppressed people evokes the emotions even of non-Muslims. so what is going on in Nigeria is not going to stop the spread of Shia Islam, but the opposite. this massacre in Zaria has made Shia Islam more popular. it is the greatest publicity and help being done to Shias. and the pains and sufferings even Sheikh Zakzaky went through, he will not mind the sacrifice and in fact he will see it as a small price to be compared to the price/sacrifice Imam Hussain (a) paid in Karbala facing the umayyad tyrant, Yazeed Ibn Muawiya. the Shia will not fight back, and they will not cause any trouble for fellow citizens. in fact the Tragedy of Karbala is referred to as "the Triumph of Blood over the Sword"!!! Mahatma Gandhi, the founding father of India and non-violent independence activist, in reference to the Tragedy of Karabal stated: " I learnt from Hussain how to be oppressed and achieve victory"!!! peace has been their (the IMN) banner. they will continue to be peaceful. they will continue to bear the pain and suffering and continue to propagate the truth so more people will see the light and accept the true image of Islam, which is peace and mercy. the only thing they will do is to continue their processions and creating awareness, may be seek legal means through NGOs and world organizations, and protests around the world, and even possibly going to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague. what has been done in Zaria is absolutely the wrong decision if the intention was meant to silence a belief or idea. |
sosanova:Shia are not terrorists but are the victims of terrorism since the very day the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him and his Ahlul-Bayt) passed away. Shia will never resort to terrorism. The only thing these inhumane treatments and crimes against humanity will lead to is a case at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. I have very deep belief that the ICC will take up this matter. |

December 21, 2015Sani Tukur https://media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2014/07/450x364xZakzaky-e1406800190960.jpg.pagespeed.ic.QrkBqex9dX.jpg The spiritual leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, a group propagating the Shi’ite ideology in Nigeria, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, is currently in police custody, being guarded as he received treatment at an undisclosed, the Inspector General of Police, Sunday Arase, has said. A clash between members of the sect and the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, on December 12 and 13 in Zaria left a yet unknown number of sect members, including the sect’s second-in-command, Muhammad Turi, dead. The Chief of Army Staff earlier disclosed that the Shi’ite leader and other suspects arrested during the clash were handed over to relevant authorities for prosecution. He however did not specifically disclose the “relevant authority” detaining Mr. El-Zakzaky, and followers. PREMIUM TIMES reliably gathered Monday that Mr. Arase disclosed to members of the special committee of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) who met him in his office today that Mr. El-Zakzaky was currently under police custody. The NSCIA had last week raised a seven-man committee, with Daud Naibi as chairman and Ishaq Oloyede, Muzammil Hanga, Abubakar Tsav, Ibrahim Suleiman, Yusuf Ali, Abubakar Siddique and Is-haq Oloyede as members. The committee was mandated to meet all parties involved in the clash and report to the council. During the meeting with Mr. Arase and all the Deputy Inspectors General of Police, Assistant Inspectors General of Police and Commissioners of Police at the force headquarters in Abuja, the NSCIA delegation sought to know the whereabouts of the Shiite leader, a police source at the meeting told PREMIUM TIMES. Mr. Arase, our source said, admitted that Mr. Elzakzaky was in police custody receiving treatment, but could not yet grant anyone access to him until his health improves. The police chief reportedly assured the delegation that Mr. El-Zakzaky was doing well and not under any life-threatening condition. The source, who was present at the meeting, told PREMIUM TIMES that the police boss also said after Mr. El-Zakzaky’s recuperation, he would have to seek “orders from the above” before allowing the NSCIA delegation access to the sect leader. Mr. Arase reports directly to President Muhammadu Buhari, and at times through the the National Security Adviser. Apart from seeking to be allowed access to Mr. El-Zakzaky, the NSCIA delegation had requested Mr. Arase to allow the bodies of those killed in the clash to be released to their families for burial. The delegation also demanded to know the exact number of those killed and injured in the clash and wanted access to the injured. In his response, the police inspector-general promised he would revert to the NSCIA after seeking permission on the best response to the delegation’s requests. The Nigerian troops had laid siege on the Shiite enclave on December 12 and 13, arresting Mr. El-Zakzaky, his wife, and an unspecified number of his followers. The sect’s headquarters as well as its leader’s residence were flattened . Although the Nigerian government is yet to react to the killings, the Nigerian Army claimed Mr. Buratai narrowly escaped death after the sect members attacked his motorcade and attempted to deny him passage. The group’s spokesman, who earlier blamed the army for the killings, was also killed hours after releasing the statement. The killings attracted local and global attention, with Iranian authorities reportedly summoning their ambassador for debriefing. The Christian Association of Nigeria, and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs also urged the Nigerian government to investigate the Zaria killings. The Secretary General of the NSCIA, Is-haq Oloyede, last week said the Muslim leaders decided to come together “to express their concern about what is happening in Zaria and call for restraint on the part of all stakeholders in the interest of peace and security of Nigeria”. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/195546-igp-says-el-zakzaky-in-police-custody-needs-orders-from-above-to-allow-access-to-him.html |

Nigeria must bring to justice the perpetrators of Zaria massacre: Ayatollah Khamenei's advisor Dec 20, 2015 Ayatollah Khamenei's senior adviser in International Affairs, in an interview with Khamenei.ir said: "We demand that the Nigerian government instantly prosecute the perpetrators of the Zaria massacre and bring them to justice for the barbarian crimes they have committed." Speaking about the massacre of approximately one thousand people in Nigeria, Dr. Ali Akbar Velayati stated: "The news of the barbarian attack on Nigerian Muslims, which led to the killing and injury of a large number of believing and God-seeking people of the largest Islamic country in Africa, has created immense grief and sorrow for Muslims across the globe." The senior advisor to Ayatollah Khamenei in International affairs brought up the killing of a large number of Muslims in Nigeria, including three sons of Nigerian Muslim leader, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, during a 2014 rally in support of Palestine on the international Quds day and further added: "The memory of the aggressive and violent measures as well as the barbaric killing of Muslims in Nigeria during the Quds Day rally in the month of Ramadan last year is still alive." "The only sin these innocent protesters had committed," said Dr. Velayati, "was supporting Palestine and opposing the decades-long crimes of the Zionist regime and the occupation of Muslims' first Qiblah." Dr. Velayati further cited that " Without a doubt, the massive 2015 Arbaeen procession--the yearly remembrance of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (pbuh), the grandson of the Holy Prophet of Islam--held by millions of the followers and lovers of the progeny of the Prophet (peace be upon them), provoked the Zionist regime and the Wahabbi aggressors (who are the survivors of the Umayyad caliphate in our time) to support an unprecedented and felonious attack on Muslims." The senior advisor to Ayatollah Khamenei in international affairs expressed condolences to the families and the survivors of the agonizing disaster and said: "We pray for the health of the honorable scholar Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, the great leader of the Islamic Awakening movement in Nigeria and his respected family, as well as those wounded in this painful incident." "Accordingly, all Muslims who are held in prison under medieval tortures must be released and we ask the Nigerian government to immediately prosecute, arrest and bring to justice the perpetrators of this disaster for the barbaric crimes they have committed," he emphasized. Dr. Velayati said: "We are certain that the blood of the martyrs of the recent disaster will bring greater insight and awareness among the general public and will also reinforce truth-seeking in the continent of Africa." The senior advisor to Ayatollah Khamenei in international affairs added: "While the community of Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky in Zaria is comprised of mostly Shia Nigerians, Sunni and Christian Nigerians were also dedicated to and joined his efforts to grow a peaceful, educated and dedicated network of persons who worked to bring stability to Nigeria." Dr. Velayati said: "Because the efforts of Sheikh Zakzaky to reflect the true nature of Imam Hussein’s message, there is no conflict between the various schools of thought that make up the community, and they are able to work in unity and solidarity, despite their various religious practices." http://english.khamenei.ir/news/2914/Nigeria-must-bring-to-justice-the-perpetrators-of-Zaria-massacre |
