Its feminine will be karba which means the nearest "woman"...
Its feminine will be karba which means the nearest "woman" which is Syeda Fatima Zahra (sa). This is why Allah ordered us to love those who are associated with Syeda (sa) (qaraba). The second thing which will exclude one from the religion is to decrease or increase those who are considered as Aimmah Masoomeen (as). This is an extremely important issue. However people do not ever give any importance to this issue.
We must be very careful and not shrug our responsibility regarding this very sensitive issue. Imam is that sacred term which countless shia have sacrificed themselves in order to protect the honor and dignity of. Shia have never ever used this term for a non Masoom. However nowadays simpleton shia have begun allowing any non Masoom to use this title for themselves in the name of "unity" with other muslims.
Non shia have intentionally used this term in order to destroy the importance of the title of "Imam" because imamate is not included in their usool e deen. However even though shia know the importance of the title of Imam, suddenly out of ignorance and without any fear of Allah, they have begun using this word for any non Masoom the same way as non shia. We shall tell you what an "Imam" is and what is the importance of "Imam" to Allah. Sura Tawba ayah 36: "Lo!
the number of the months with Allah is twelve months by Allah's ordinance in the day that He created the heavens and the earth. Four of them are sacred: that is the right religion" In this ayah Allah is telling us that the 12 months are the true religion.
In Umda tul Matalib First Edition page no 239, Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said, "These 12 months are the 12 Imams (as)." You must ponder upon this point that Allah did not declare His tauheed as the true religion nor did He declare the prophet hood of RasoolAllah (saw) as the true religion. He declared the number of 12 Imams (as) as the true religion. Now you must realize that how greatly Allah wishes to protect the number of 12.
Including another or excluding one of those whom Allah has included in the 12 is the same as if you have destroyed the whole religion. Therefore anyone who excludes even just one of those 12 or includes even just one other with Them, then most certainly he becomes excluded from the religion because the 12 Imams (as) are the true religion. The third thing which can exclude one from the religion is personality worshipping.
