Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Origin of Shi'tte Islam and It's Principles Part 4 :allegations Against the Shi'a Refutation of the Claim that their are Un-Islamic Borrowings in Shi'a Beliefs. All that we have set down in this book is but a mere indication of the beliefs and convictions of the Imamiyah sect. It would require many volumes to deal with them in detail.

But the religious leaders, and indeed the Muslims in general, can tell us if there was anything in the facts that we have just stated which could be said to be the cause of the destruction of Islam, or if there is any matter which has been derived from Judaism, Christianity, or Zorastrianism (see introduction), or if anything appears which is against the basic principle of monotheism (tawhid) or against the Book (the Qur'an) and the sunnah (words and deeds of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)).

By God, you should be just and not simply utter caluminous remarks. Finally, our prayer is that our brothers in Islam should come out of the world of doubt and uncertainty, and gather together under the one banner of the Qur'an, so as to successfully regain their past glory. It is quite obvious that this is an impossibility as long as our sectarian conflicts continue. May God bless us with mutual tolerance and may the bonds of love between us be strengthened.

The Problem of Bada' In this matter also the Shi'as are much reviled. The misconstrues, distorting the concept of "bada", try to convince people that according to the Shi'a faith, God, the Almighty, performs actions of which He has no knowledge. God forbid. Can there be greater ignorance than this? This is plain infidelity because, on the one hand, it is a denial of the attribute of knowledge of God the Almighty, and on the other, He is considered as being subject to accidents and changes.

This negates the very essence of the infiniteness and absoluteness of God. The Imamiyah sect vehemently opposes these foolish and absurd ideas. Rather, no Islamic sect supports this misleading view. Of course, these nonsensical ideas have been attributed to some of those elements who believe in the physical body of God. Thus it was one of them who said about God, "Only excuse Me for My beard and private parts.

Otherwise you may ask Me anything you like." The correct meaning of "bada", which the Shi'as believe in, is included in the secrets and mysteries of the House of Muhammad (a.s.),.
