The Term "Shia" in the Qur'an and Sunni Sources - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief The Term “Shia” in the Qur’an and Sunni Sources 2021-06-24 1277 Views Shia , Shi'ite , Hadith sources Shia Muslims believe that based on the Qur’an and many authentic Hadiths, this branch of Islam is the real and pristine Islam preached and propagated by the Messenger of Allah; Hazrat Muhammad (PBUHH).

On the contrary, some of non-Muslim Wahhabis claimed that Shia Islam is made by a Jewish converted to Islam named Abdullah Ibn-Saba. Others claim that Shia Islam is invented by the Safavid dynasty (which ruled Iran in 16th and 17th centuries).

So, it is absolutely true to say that Shia Islam is the real transliteration of the Quranic and the Prophetic Islam.

Meanwhile, the term “Shia” means “followers and members of a party”. Thus, the term “Shia” alone has no negative or positive meaning unless we specify the leader of the party. If one is a Shia (follower) of the most righteous servants, then there is nothing wrong with being a Shia, especially if the leader of such party has been assigned by Allah. On the other hand, if one becomes the Shia of a tyrant or a wrong-doer, he shall meet with the fate of his leader.

In fact, the Qur’an indicates that on the day of Judgment, people will come in groups, and each group has its leader in front of it. Allah, to whom belong Might and Majesty, said: The day We shall summon every group of people along with their imam, then whoever is given his book in his right hand—they will read it, and they will not be wronged so much as a single date-thread.

(17:71) On the day of judgment, the destiny of the “followers” of each group highly depends on the destiny of his Imam (provided that they really followed that Imam). Allah mentioned in the Qur’an that there are two types of Imams. Some Imams are those who invite people to Hellfire.
