It is also mentioned in the same book of Khairul Khalaik that the Holy Prophet (S) said: “Ali (a.s.) and his Shias would get deliverance on Judgment Day.” The writer says that it cannot be contrary to this, because the words of the Prophet cannot be wrong. We should know that Allah says in the Holy Quran: “And most surely Ibrahim followed his (’s) way.” [^5] That is Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.) was on the religion of Muhammad (S). Allah says, they are the followers of Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.)[^6].

In the same way, the Holy Quran mentions in Surah Qasas about the followers of Prophet Moosa (a.s.): “And he went into the city at a time of unvigilance on the part of its people, so he found therein two men fighting, one being of his party and the other of his foes.” [^7] Qadi Baidhawi interprets it in the way that one of them were believers of Prophet Moosa (a.s.) and one from Bani Israel who opposed Moosa (a.s.) and was from the Copts.

Baidhawi writes that the Quran points to the Holy Prophet (S) and the gloss writer of Baidhawi says that this incident was included in the Quran for the Prophet only. The writer humbly says that since according to Allah, Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.) was called Shia of Muhammad and the followers of Prophet Moosa (a.s.) means Bani Israel and who were also called Shia of Moosa (a.s.), it means that the word of Shia is agreeable to Allah, so why do we take it to be disgusting.

Ahlul Sunnat hate this word but their disgust is in opposition to Allah. Now the writer asks that when according to the above words of Allah, Bani Israel are Shia of Prophet Moosa (a.s.) and according to the Relation (Manzilah) tradition[^8], the Prophet and His Eminence, Ali (a.s.) are like Prophet Moosa (a.s.) and Prophet Haroon (a.s.), then a question arises that like Shia of Moosa (a.s.), Shia of Muhammad (S) and Ali (a.s.) are all the followers of Islam.

Now are these people Ahlul Sunnat or Shia? Ahlul Sunnat may themselves decide this, as the writer does not want to say anything more in this regard.

Lastly, the writer says when the merits of Shia people are proved from the above sources and according to the Prophet, Shias of Ali (a.s.) is such a group that it would arrive at the Pool of Kauthar along with His Eminence, Ali (a.s.) on Judgment Day and get deliverance, in such circumstances, it does not befit Ahlul Sunnat to believe in the infidelity of the Shia sect and to justify cursing them.
