Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kashaful Wilayah Things Which Exclude One From the Religion It has been proven from the sayings of Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) that it is compulsory for man to know those things which will exclude him from the religion. Here we shall point out a few of those things: It has been clarified from our above words that the purpose of religion is to love Ahlul Bayt (as).

Then without doubt the first thing which will immediately exclude one from the religion is the hatred of Ahlul Bayt (as) or the love of Their enemies. Attention is that which keeps the love alive. Negligence is that which destroys the love. So being negligent in the love of Ahlul Bayt (as) is included in those things which will exclude you from the religion. Quran has clearly ordered us to perform muwaddah. As Allah says "O'Prophet! Say!

I do not ask you for any reward for My prophet hood except the love of My nearest kin." Muwaddah of Ahlul Bayt (as) is wajib (compulsory) because this is the reward of prophet hood, and without paying prophet hood its reward no one can enter into the religion. Therefore being negligent in the muwaddah of Ahlul Bayt (as) will without doubt exclude one from the religion. You must be very careful and be very aware of this extremely important matter.

Even having some minor negligence in the muwaddah of Ahlul Bayt (as) can destroy your whole iman (faith). We have spoken in great detail on this topic in our book Kashaful Muwaddah. Here we wish to say something that is off topic but will be of great benefit to you. All shia and sunni translators translate the word "qarba" (near kin singular form) as "qurba" which is absolutely wrong.

I have no idea where they get this translation from because in Arabic the word "qurba" is used for relatives (more than one). Qurba is plural while qarba is singular. In Quran Allah uses the word "qarba" which is feminine. For example the word "kabeer", it means great. Its superlative is "Akbar" which means the greatest. However akbar is masculine. Therefore when you see the term "akbar" it is referring to the greatest "man". Its feminine will be "kubra" which will mean the greatest "woman".

Likewise there is a word "sagheer" which means young. Its superlative is "Asghar" which means the youngest. Asghar is masculine. So akbar means youngest "man". Its feminine is sughra which means youngest "woman". The superlative of the word kareeb (near) is "Akrab" (nearest). Akrab is masculine.
