Dialog between a Muslim Scholar and Shia students Remember that the only sect that is saved on Judgment-Day is the one that strictly adheres to Noble Quraan and authentic Sunnah, You find today so-called Islamic sects which claim that they embody true Islaam. However, those sects do or say something that is totally against Quraan or Sunnah. “Ibathiah” which is the main sect in Oman, believe that the Noble Quraan is created rather than descended upon prophet Muhammad (P). This is totally contrary to the Quranic verse: “We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption)” (9:15). Shi’ites also believe that the Imam is impeccable, that is, he can never go wrong, and that he knows about the future. Can anyone know about the future other than Almighty Allaah?!! This belief of theirs contradicts the following verse: “He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make anyone acquainted with His Mysteries,”(26:72). Scholar Salman Al-Odah met in the US Shi’ite students from Bahrain and the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia and the following dialogue took place: Scholar: Tell me your opinion of the Khomeni of Iran? Students: He was a great Islamic leader. Scholar: Tell me your opinion of his revolution? Students: His revolution prevailed over Kufr and scooped the Islamic Ummah from the mire into which it plunged. Scholar: Do you think Khomeni put his trust in wrong places, that is, some of his followers who assisted him in his revolution were not worthy of his trust; they were deviant? Students: Absolutely not! All his supporters were true Shi’ite Muslims who could never betray him; they were true to the Islamic cause. Scholar: You said that Khomeni was a great leader and that he picked for his revolution the right people who could never betray him, because khomeni is an Imam and Imam can never go wrong. Is that what you said and meant? Students: Exactly. Scholar: Now tell me who is better Khomeni or prophet Muhammad (P)? Students: Prophet Muhammad, naturally. Scholar: Could the prophet go wrong? Students: Certainly not. Scholar: Could he put his trust in people unworthy of his trust? Students: Never. Scholar: So why do you disapprove of and slander those sahaba (prophet’s disciples) who were closest to him, like Abu Baker Al-Sadeeq and Omar Ibn Al-Khattab and say that those most righteous people of the prophet usurped khilafah from Ali Ibn Abi Talib. How could the prophet (P) trust those people whom you think are unworthy of his trust. The prophet (P) should have known better about their disloyalty. Students: They were loyal Muslims during the prophet’s life but they went astray after his death. Scholar: And do you think the matter of succeeding the prophet was so unimportant to Allah the Almighty that He did not tell the prophet (P) about it before he died? The Shi’ite were struck-dumb! There are many sects that consider itself Islamic while it is really not. Any sect that has among its articles of belief something against Quraan or Sunnah, no matter how small, is no longer Islamic. Remember, brothers and sisters, that while you follow theNoble Quraan and Sunnah you may do something or believe in something that automatically casts you out of the fold of Islaam. So beware! Stick to the letter to Quraan and Sunnah, no additions, no subtractions and no alterations. In this respect I remember a do’a (prayer) that the prophet used to say: “ O You who can turn eyes and hearts upside down do steady my heart on your religion”. Salaam
