Tariq's patriarchal efforts to bestow his corrupt views on the unsuspecting Ahl'ul Sunnah means nothing when we have specific hadith wherein the Prophet of Allah (s) referred to Imam 'Ali (as) as an Imam, when he declared: "Three things have been revealed to me about Ali: That he is the Sayyid al Muslimeen (Chief of Muslims), Imam-ul-Muttaqeen (Imam of the Pious), and wa Qa'id ul Ghurrul Muhajj'ileen (Leader of the bright-faced people on Yaum al Qiyamah)" Taken from Al Mustadrak , by Imam Hakim, p 137 & 138 Riyadh al Nadira, by Mohibbudin al Tabari, Vol 2, p 122 If Azam Tariq finds the term abhorrent then he is free to do so, for the only people that are entitled to refer to 'Ali (as) as an Imam are those that are pious.

Nasibi have no correlation with piety. They extol Dhaalim Khalifahs, incite fitnah, lies and shed the blood of innocent Muslims. Imam 'Ali (as) is not the Imam of Dhaalims and dog/bear/sister/mother/man/daughter/boy penetrator, only the pious. Azam Tariq's objection to the terminology 'alahis salaam' Kr-hcy.com states**: SIMILARLY AFTER THE NAME OF EVERY SAHABI WE USE AND WRITE THE WORD (RADIALLAHU ANHU I.E. MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM) AND NEVER USE THE WORDS LIKE (ALAYHI SALLAAM I.E.

PEACE AND BLESSINGS OF ALLAH BE UPON HIM) WHICH ARE RESERVED FOR ONLY THE PROPHETS. AS SUCH, WE NEVER WRITE OR UTTER HAZRAT ABU BAKAR (ALAYHI SALLAAM) OR HAZRAT UMAR ALAYHI SALLAAM BUT IN CASE OF HAZRAT HUSAYN WE USE ALAYHI SALLAAM. HAVE WE EVER GIVEN A THOUGHT WHY IT IS SO? IT IS BECAUSE OF THE INFLUENCE OF SHIAISM WHICH HAS IMPERCEPTIBLY CREPT INTO OUR MINDS** .

Reply Although this Nasibi's comments have no bearing on the Shi'a, we would like to point out that he is yet again falsely claiming to represent Ahl'ul Sunnah aqeedah. What greater evidence can we cite to counter this Nasibi than the fatwa of Sunni Islam's most beloved opponent of the Shi'a, al Muhaddith Shah Abdul Aziz Dehlavi?

When this question was posed to him he replied as follows: "The term alahis salaam can also be referred to for non-prophets, and evidence of this can be ascertained from the fact that in the books of hadith the words alahis salaam can be found next to the names of Hadhrath 'Ali, Hasan, Husayn, Fatima, Khadija, Abbas.

Some Ulema have opposed this, in opposition to the Shi'a, but this terminology is not prohibited under the Shari'a Fatal Azeezi page 235 Similarly Allamah Alusi wrote: "On this matter the views of the Ulema are different.
