Conspiracy Against Imam Ali (PBUH) 5 - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief Conspiracy Against Imam Ali (PBUH) 5 2023-04-07 706 Views Imam Ali , Conspiracy Theory , Imam Ali vs In continuation of the discussions on the conspiracy against Imam Ali immediately after the death of the Messenger of Allah (PBUHH), we shall focus on other aspects of the topic in this article.
This Wahhabi fellow did not even give it a second thought that the Shia follow Imam Ali (AS) who was the BEST of the companions of the Prophet and their most knowledgeable one, the Strong Rope of Allah,(1) and His Right Path. (2) Neither his proximity of relationship with Prophet was preceded,(3) nor his preceding in accepting the religion. (4) We stick to the instructions of Ahlul-Bayt who are pure and infallible according to The Quran and Hadith.
Hence, we do not need to follow those of our companions who opposed/fought Ahlul-Bayt. Thus the Shia, indeed, follow the Sunnah transmitted by a Prophet’s companion, the best of them. However, Wahhabis follow the worst of them, that is Muawiyah, and take his Sunnah which has no similarity with the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH&HF). A Wahhabi mentioned: It is part of our Sunni dogma to respect and love all the companions of the Prophet.
Our scholars remind us that vilification of the companions is Kufr. Interestingly enough that those companions who remained loyal to Ali received severe punishment from the government of the time, and were not respected at all. One example is Abu Dhar who was exiled to the worst climate location in the reign of Uthman because they could not stop him from telling the truth. They kept him there till he died (martyred).
Abu Dhar was the one that prophet said in his virtue that “The Earth does not carry nor the Heavens cover a man more frank and truthful than Abu Dhar”. Wasn’t Abu Dhar a great companion of the prophet? So why shouldn’t they have respected him according to your judgment? It seems that even Uthman did not accept your type of judgment! nor Talha and Zubair when they were fighting against their legitimate Caliph Ali (AS). Are all of them Kafir by your judgment?
When the Shia reflect on the mistakes of their companions, they do so in retrospect of history. It would be very interesting to look at some of the comments of both the Wahabi and the Sunni scholars in this retrospect.
