It means that at times...

It means that at times, God forbid, He performs an action due to His ignorance and then regrets it, and an interesting thing is that this belief is considered so important that no worship act is equal to it. Hence a whole chapter is devoted to Bada in Usul al-Kafi , the famous religious book of Shias.

A tradition is mentioned on page 84 of Usul al-Kafi that Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (as) said, “If people come to know about the reward in the belief of Bada they would not neglect it.” Another tradition says: Zurarah says that Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (as) said, “Allah does not give prophethood to anyone unless He makes him confess to five things: Bada, Mashiyyat (Will of God), Prostration, Worship and Obedience.” It is quite strange that this issue is mentioned in the reliable book of Shias.

It is surprising that these people believe in such a God Who regrets His own actions, and has to change His opinion. It is as if He is Fazlul Haq, the Governor of Bengal, who at first deposed against Pakistan and then regretted it. Objection 4: Taqiyyah (Dissimulation) “Taqiyyah is one of the best worship act for the Shias. The foundation of their religion stands on Taqiyyah itself. Taqiyyah means to lie.

It is narrated on page 488 of Usul al-Kafi that Imam Muhammad Baqir (as) said, “Taqiyyah is my religion, the religion of my forefathers, (God forbid), one who does not have Taqiyyah, has no faith.” It is narrated on page 483 of Usul al-Kafi that, “Taqiyyah is from the religion of God.” Shia gentlemen should tell us that if Taqiyyah had been actually religion or a part of religion why didn’t Imam Husain resort to Taqiyyah and pay allegiance to Yazid?

The Imam cut off the roots of Taqiyyah in the battle of Kerbala. He gave away his head but did not pay allegiance even for the sake of Taqiyyah. He made it clear from his behavior that ‘a religion based on Taqiyyah is not mine’.” Objection 5: Concealing religion Shias must also think over this narration that is present in their religious book. It is mentioned on page 485 of Usul al-Kafi that Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (as) said, “O Sulaiman!

You follow such a religion that God honors one who conceals it and disgraces one who reveals it.” It is narrated on page 482 of Usul al-Kafi : “Nine parts of religion are in Taqiyyah.” Shias must note that they are ordered, and that too by Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (as), to conceal their religion. If you reveal it, you would be disgraced.
