By doing so, the Wahabis obtained victory over all the Shia in the world.
By doing so, the Wahabis obtained victory over all the Shia in the world. In fact, the plot was to degrade the Shia and drive them to the camps in Saudi Arabia to meet there all kinds of insults, torture and killing. Allah says: The Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians until you follow their religion . Qur'an, 2:120 Today, we see the Jews and the Christians (the United States of America and western countries) show cordiality to the Wahabis.
Or, are they pleased with them, because they themselves flatter and show them cordiality? At the same time, they are also full of grudge against the Shia in Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran and even in France.
They used all kinds of the media to defame and accuse the Shia of terrorism, fanaticism, and puritanism.[^2] The media, financed by the Wahabis, was successful in dividing the Shia, making some of them disagree with others, doubting their beliefs, and concentrating on some negative practices that some of ignorant Shia follow in Ashura.
They openly criticized the great religious authorities, suspected their justice and honesty and accused them of leaving the wealth of Muslim for their children to spend it recklessly. The media was successful in buying the consciences of some prominent Shia personalities to raise the banner of deviation for misleading. In fact, there was no time more dangerous to the Shia than this time. The true Shia must think of the affairs deeply, because they are threatened by many enemies.
Anyhow, their patience and faith bring good news of optimism. Allah the Almighty says: Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel for then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, and be patient; surely Allah is with the patient . Qur'an, 8:46 As we have said that the doubt of the Kharijites was based on the saying that “the judgment is Allah’s alone”, the doubt of the Wahabis was based on the saying that “servitude is to Allah alone”.
Despite the fact that two sayings are alike, the saying of the Wahabis is more effective than the saying of the Kharijites who focused on the rule (judgment). Before Imam Ali (a.s.), the rule was assumed by Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman who all ruled as they liked and gave judgments that contradicted the clear texts of the Qur'an and the Sunna of the Prophet (S), but no one objected to them. At least, history did not mention to us any objection that was worth mentioning.
