It is a common occurrence for the general Muslims to reject Shia beliefs, and demand proofs of the Shia doctrine from the Holy Quran. e.g., “show us proofs of the Shia beliefs from the Holy Quran”, yet when presented with the proofs, they often become more aggressive and unreasonable, so sadly, we are compelled to say to them “can you show us the recitation of the Azan, Aqamah and Salat from the Quran?”, they cannot and back-off, as these rituals are explained in the Ahadith.

Similarly, some Shia Muqalladeen (followers of Maraja) insist on proving the presence of the third testimony (third Shahadat) in the Tashahud from Ahadith. Once it’s shown to them from ‘Fiqh Al-Reza’ ( see Appendix I ) they say but show us from Kutab-e-Arbah (from the four books). Well, if we ask them, in a same way we ask Muslims, to show us some of their basic beliefs from the Kutab-e-Arbah. What are they going to do?

Let’s ask from them (the Muqalladeen) only five of the following, i.e., to show us from the Kutab-e-Arbah: Kalima-e-Tayyab; Usool-e-Deen; Faroo-e-deen, What they recite for the Nikah; What they recite for the Salat-e-Janaza; Show if Tashahud is limited to and is fixed to two testimonies from the Kutab-e-Arbah . For the 3 rd Testimony, however, in Al-Kafi, vol.

3, which is the first book from the Kutab-e-Arbah, it is in a Hadith that Tashahud is not fixed and is like Qanoot (more can be recited), and we find from a Hadith of Imam Ali -asws that one needs to renew his beliefs in the Tashahud (Appendix II).
