Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books All Solutions are with the Prophet’s Progeny The Shia in brief The talks about the Shia in the last years, especially after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, have been so widespread. The western information and its media spread everywhere in the world, focused on the Iranian Shia, describing them as ‘the fool of Allah’ one time and ‘terrorists’ another time.

This included the Lebanese Shia as well after they had threatened the American and western interests in Beirut. They were described as ‘excessive and extreme’. Not long after this, these descriptions were ascribed to all the Shia in the world. In fact, they included the Islamic movements everywhere in the world even if they were Sunni movements having nothing to do with the Shia.

It does not matter to us what the western information and enemies of Islam say or the false justifications and fabrications they follow, for ‘you may hope for the friendliness from every enemy, except the enemy of your religion’. What does really concern us is that which some Muslims say about the Shia. You hear from them wonders and wonders!

It is too odd that they do not have any evidence, clear proof or irrefutable argument in their false accusations, but they only repeat what their ancestors used to say without any analysis or verification. In addition to the actual definition of Shiism we have mentioned in our fourth book “ The Shia are the People of the Sunna ”, we see that we must show the Muslims, who seek the mere truth and do not fear a blame in the way of Allah, the sayings of Allah and His messenger (S) about the Shia.

Then, we shall be able to discuss the sayings of some approving and disapproving scholars and thinkers. The Shia in the Qur'an Allah the Almighty says: As for those who believe and do good - surely they are the best of men . Qur'an, 98:7 Jalaluddeen as-Sayuti says in his commentary (tafsir) of the Qur'an called ad-Durr al-Manthur fit Tafsir al-Ma’thur , “Abu Hurayra narrated that the Prophet (S) said: Do you wonder at the position of the angels to Allah?

I swear by Him, in whose hand my soul is, that the position of a faithful servant to Allah on the Day of Resurrection is greater than the position of an angel. If you want, you can read this verse: As for those who believe and do good, surely they are the best of men.
