Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Yazeed: (reponse To Some Salfis’ Endeavors To Purify Him) Azam Tariq's false attempts to represent Sunni aqeedah Azam Tariq's objection to the terminology 'Imam'Azam Tariq then sets his sites on our Imam as follows: Kr-hcy.com states: ANOTHER THING TO GUARD AGAINST IS THE USE OF TITLE OF "IMAM" AND ALAYHI SALLAAM FOR HAZRAT HUSAYN.
THE MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS UNCONSCIOUSLY REMEMBER HAZRAT HUSAYN AS "IMAM HUSAYN ALAYHI SALLAAM", ALTHOUGH THIS SMACKS OF SHIAISM. FOR ALL THE SAHABA, WE USE WORD (HAZRAT) OUT OF RESPECT AND REVERENCE FOR THEM SUCH AS HAZRAT ABU BAKAR, HAZRAT UMAR, HAZRAT USMAN, HAZRAT ALI ETC. WE NEVER SAY IMAM ABU BAKAR OR IMAM UMAR . Reply One Yet again this lying Nasibi is making a claim without any foundation i.e. lying again, yes the kaftan is being held high till the very end of this article.
We could produce countless writings of the Ahl'ul Sunnah wherein Husayn (as) has been referred to as Imam. This Nasibi's objective has nothing to with bringing Sunni Islam back to the grand old days and way of the Salaf.
It is do with replacing Sunni Islam with Nasibi ideology that showers grand accolades on the enemies of Ahl'ul bayt (as) such as Mu'awiya and Yazeed, something that none of the old ulema did save Ghazali (because of lack of knowledge), while Ghazali's boss imam Shafi'i said cursing Yazeed was acceptable.
Reply Two Azam Tariq Nasibi sought to set the alleged record straight by stating: Kr-hcy.com states**: FOR ALL THE SAHABA, WE USE WORD (HAZRAT) OUT OF RESPECT AND REVERENCE FOR THEM SUCH AS HAZRAT ABU BAKAR, HAZRAT UMAR, HAZRAT USMAN, HAZRAT ALI ETC. WE NEVER SAY IMAM ABU BAKAR OR IMAM UMAR.** If the terms Imam are not used for Abu Bakr and Umar it is because they never viewed themselves as Imams nor did Rasulullah (s) view them as such.
An Imam under Arabic terminology is one who leads and a Khalifah is one who follows. Abu Bakr never viewed himself as an Imam and underlined his own failings in his inaugural speech to mark his momentous coming to power in Saqifa Bani Sa'da, we are quoting from Tarikh Tabari Volume 9 page 201 : "Now then: O people, I have been put in charge of you, although I am not the best of you. Help me if I do well; rectify me if I do wrong".
If their own failings as Imams are proven it does in any way mean that no one can else can be referred to as Imam.
