This Is One Of The Most Informative Playlists On Shia Islam's Sharia, Ijtihad, Taqlid, Usooli vs Akhbari, Marja I Have Ever Watched! Every Single Shia Including New Shia Reverts Should Absolutely Watch! Very Informative!

I finally got to finishing this entire playlist and it felt like I was sitting in a class where people on every level of Islamic knowledge would completely understand every topic discussed. It delve in to our classical scholars and their works and views and approaches. Very very beginner level on Shia Rijal. It discussed some of the most important hadith in regards to Sharia and what goes in the mind of a Shia jurist when deriving Hadith.

Official Statement from the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America concerning the Tragic Hate Crime at the Islamic Center of San Diego and the Systemic Rise of Islamophobia

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

“… and, persecution is graver than killing.” 

The Holy Quran [2:217]

At the beginning of this month, Dhul-Hijjah—the sacred Islamic month in which the sanctity of human life is emphasized—our community in the United States was unfortunately shocked to hear the devastating news of an armed attack on innocent people at a place that is both a mosque and a school. This occurred where God is worshipped, and in an environment of learning, self-improvement, and community service, which leaves no doubt about the motives behind this barbaric crime. Sadly, it once again underscores the systematic and hateful brainwashing that has contaminated so many people in the West. 

The Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America expresses its deepest sorrow, grief, and outrage over this horrifying tragedy that took place at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We offer our sincerest condolences to the families of the innocent Muslim victims, among whom were a heroic security guard and two dedicated school staff members, whose lives were brutally cut short in this senseless act of violence. We pray that Allah grants them peace in the hereafter, bestows patience upon their families, and heals the deeply traumatized San Diego community. 

While we mourn, we must simultaneously confront the bitter reality that this attack did not occur in a vacuum. National civil rights organizations and social policy institutes report that Islamophobia and anti-Muslim discrimination have risen sharply, and now represent a systemic trend across the West. Furthermore, the prevailing information confirms that Muslims remain the group most likely to face religious discrimination on the social level, particularly when interacting with financial institutions and seeking employment. As a result of these shifts, recent data highlight that while individual anti-Muslim hate incidents remain a serious issue, a defining feature of the current landscape is institutional and structural discrimination, frequently intertwined with dangerous political rhetoric directed against Muslims and crackdowns on specific forms of speech. The alleged perpetrators of this heinous act were teenagers. Thus, we must ask: Who fostered this toxic hate into their minds, and for what purpose? Who nurtured the vitriol that led them to attack innocent people, solely because they were Muslim, and defile a house of worship with bloodshed?

The Council does not merely condemn this attack; we call upon all people of conscience, faith leaders, and civil society to raise their voices. We must loudly demand answers to the questions of whom this hateful speech serves and how it can be allowed to be used as an instrument in our society. How can we realistically project an image of peace, democracy, and safety in this country and in the world when citizens are gunned down while preparing for prayer?

The Council strongly urges law enforcement, lawmakers, and government authorities to think deeply about this crisis and take prudent steps to curb all forms of hateful speech, work more diligently to build bridges of tolerance and discourse, eliminate systemic prejudice and pockets of racism and hate, and halt the rhetoric that continuously becomes the impetus for killing and attacking the innocent.

Dear community members,

It is not the first time we have faced such profound difficulties. This trial is part of an ongoing struggle that many of us face in our communities, and unfortunately, it continues to be fomented by certain extreme factors. Yet, history has shown your resilience. Stand firm in your faith, and act with prudence by being vigilant and safe. Take the necessary precautions, and as much as possible, participate in the upcoming religious congregations, especially Eid al-Adha prayers and the upcoming celebrations. Let us respond to hate with unity, resilience, and greater devotion to Allah.

With your conscience, your high character and commitment to knowledge, your deep understanding, and your utilization of the right strategic means and tools—coupled with unwavering Tawakkul (reliance) on Allah—we will pass through these dark difficulties. Take comfort and strength in the divine promise of the Almighty: “… the outcome will be in favor of the Godwary.” The Holy Quran [7:128]

The end of Dhu al-Qidah marks the martyrdom anniversary of Imam al-Jawad (p)

A Proof Beyond Age

One of the most remarkable things about Imam al-Jawad (p) was his age. After the martyrdom of his father, Imam al-Rida (p), many people struggled to understand how someone so young could carry the immense responsibility of Imamate. In a world where people often associate leadership with age and experience, the Imam’s life became a reminder that divine wisdom is not measured by years.

Ali ibn Asbat narrates:

“Imam al-Jawad (p) came out to inform us of his father’s death, so I observed his stature to describe it to our companions. He sat down and then said, ‘O Ali, God has used as evidence for Imamate what He used as evidence for Prophethood,’ then he recited the verse from the Holy Quran in which Allah says about Prophet Yahya, ‘And We gave him Prophethood while he was still an infant’ (Quran 19:12)”

(Al-Mufid, Al-Irshad, vol. 2, p. 292).

There is something deeply powerful in this moment. Imam al-Jawad (p) understood the doubts people carried, but instead of defending himself with status or force, he pointed them back to the Quran. Allah had already shown humanity that age does not limit whom He chooses. Just as Prophet Yahya (p) was granted prophethood in childhood, Imam al-Jawad (p) was granted divine knowledge and leadership at a young age. His wisdom, character, and ability to answer the most difficult questions left even senior scholars astonished.

On the anniversary of his martyrdom, this narration reminds us that Allah’s plans often challenge human expectations. We look at outward appearances, but Allah looks at purity, truth, and divine purpose. Imam al-Jawad (p) teaches us not to underestimate what Allah can place within a person, no matter their age. His life was short, but the light of his knowledge continues to guide hearts centuries later.

I See Many Shias Getting This Wrong When They Are Defending Tawassul! DUA IS NOT EQUAL TO WORSHIP! Let Me Explain

Please, please stop saying that Dua is worship. This is incorrect.

Anyone against Tawassul or Istighatha will always say, why are you "supplicating or doing Dua" to Ahlulbayt A.S? That is shirk because Dua equals worship and we only Dua to Allah swt.

They think, calling on them with our requests like saying Ya Allah swt cure me and saying Ya Prophet Muhammad A.S cure me, both is dua and worship hence its shirk.

Firstly, we do not dua or supplicate to the Imams A.S. with the intention that they are god's naothobila. We also do not worship them. Rather we ask them to fulfill our requests because we believe God has given them the power and permission to do so. No different

And if simply calling on or requesting our needs equated to worship then calling on anyone or seeking requests in general would be shirk which is an insane argument to believe. Calling on your mom to help get you something would be shirk.

And most Shia ask the Ahlulbayt A.S to pray on their behalf for their needs or when they go to them for intercession it means because God's most beloved and pious servants are most closest to God, the Ahlulbayt A.S can ask Allah swt on their behalf to fulfill their requests.

Back to the article:

What has prompted this question to be posed is the outward meaning of some of the verses of the Qur’an, which seemingly prohibit invoking anyone other than Allah.

>وأن المسجد ببه فلا تدعو مع الله أحداً.

“The places of worship belong to Allah, so do not invoke anyone along with Allah.”1

>ولا تجع من دون الله ما لا ينفعك ولا يضّرك

“Nor invoke besides Allah that which neither benefits you nor can do you any harm.”2

Referring to such verses, a group of people hold that calling on others and invoking dead sacred figures or righteous people as polytheism and an act of worshiping them.

In order to make clear the answer to this question, we ought to explain the meaning of the two terms, du‘a’ {supplication} and ‘ibadah {worship}:

As a matter of fact, the word “du‘a” literally means “calling” and “invoking” while the term “‘ibadah” means “worship”, and these two terms should not be considered synonymous.

That is, the word “call” or “invocation” does not always mean “worship” for the reasons that follow:

First: The term “da‘wah” (a derivative of du‘a’) has been used in some Qur’anic verses but not in the sense of “‘ibadah”. For example:

>إني دعوت قومي ليلاً ونهاراً

“He (Nuh) said, ‘My Lord! Indeed I have summoned my people night and day’.”3

Can we say that what Nuh (Noah) (‘a) meant is: “I have worshipped my people night and day”?

As such, it cannot be said that da‘wah and ‘ibadah are synonyms, or that to seek help from the Prophet or a righteous person is to worship him; for, da‘wah or nida’ {call} has more general meaning than worship.

Second: Du‘a’ in these verses does not absolutely mean invocation; rather, it means a particular call which can be a constituent part of the word “worship”; for, this group of verses are about idol-worshippers who took their idols as gods.

No doubt idol-worshippers’s humility, supplication and imploration were dedicated to the idols they described as possessors of the right of intercession, forgiveness, etc. and recognized as independent possessors of the affairs in this world and the hereafter. It is obvious that under such conditions to turn to these creatures in supplication or request of any kind will be considered as worship and devotion.

As vivid evidence to the fact that the idol-worshippers’ supplication or invocation is an expression of their belief in the divinity of idols, we introduce the following verse:

>فما أغنت عنهم ألهتهم التي يدعون من دون الله من شئ

“Of no avail to them were their gods whom they would invoke besides Allah, in any wise.”4

Therefore, the verses under discussion are irrelevant to our subject; our subject is concerned with the asking of one servant from another servant (of God) whom the former does not regard as lord and god nor an omnipotent master and possessor of the affairs in this world and the hereafter; rather, he regards him as an honorable servant who is loved by God and has been chosen for the station of prophethood or imamah {leadership} and God has promised to grant his supplication on behalf of His servants as He says:

>وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ جَآؤُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُواْ اللّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُواْ اللّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا

“Had they, when they wronged themselves, come to you and pleaded Allah for forgiveness, and the Apostle had pleaded for forgiveness for them, they would have surely found Allah all-clement, all-merciful.”5

Third: The quoted verses prove clearly that calling on someone {da‘wah} does not mean mere asking for a need or something to be done but a ‘devotional’ call. As such, in one of the verses, the term “‘ibadah” has been mentioned immediately after the word da‘wah:

>وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ

“Your Lord has said, ‘Call Me, and I will hear your {supplications}!’ Indeed those who are disdainful of My worship will enter hell in utter humility.”6

We notice that at the beginning of the verse, the term “ud‘uni” {call me} is followed by the term “‘ibadati” {My worship}. This testifies to the fact that da‘wah means a particular way of asking or seeking help from certain beings that have been recognized as having divine attributes.

Conclusion

From the three stated preliminaries, we reach the conclusion that the main purport of these Qur’anic verses is prohibition from calling upon the groups of idolaters who regard the idols as partners of God or having the power of intercession, and from any gesture of humility, meekness, or lamentation, seeking assistance, pleading, and request for intercession, or seeking help for the fulfillment of need with the belief that they are gods who have been commissioned to do divine acts and to do some acts related to this world and the hereafter.

What relationship do these verses have with imploring a pure soul which, according to the supplicator has not gone a speck beyond the limit of servitude, but a beloved and honorable servant of God?!

When the Qur’an says:

>"وأن المسجد لله فلا تدعوا مع الله أحداً."

“The places of worship belong to Allah, so do not invoke anyone along with Allah,”7

it refers to the way the Arabs before Islam called upon the idols, celestial bodies, angels, and jinns that they worshiped. This verse and other related verses are pertaining to calling upon a person or thing deemed as an object of worship.

No doubt, requesting from these beings in such a belief is tantamount to worshiping them. But what do these verses have to do with the idea of asking a person to pray for you without considering that person as god, lord or capable of governing world, but treats him instead as a worthy servant whom God loves?

Some may imagine that one can call on outstanding godly figures only when they are alive and it is an act of polytheism to do so after their demise. In reply, we say:

First: It is from the pure souls of such good servants (of God) as the Prophet and the Imams (‘a) who are, as described by the Qur’anic verses, alive and leading their purgatorial {barzakhi} life, that we seek aid and not from their dead bodies in the ground. And our presence in the vicinity of their shrines contributes to strengthening our communion with and attention to their sacred souls. According to hadiths, in these sites supplications are granted.

Second: Their being alive or dead cannot be a criterion for distinguishing monotheism from polytheism. It is worth noticing that our discussion is about the criteria of polytheism and monotheism, and not about the importance or unimportance of these supplications.

Of course, this issue (that is, the importance or unimportance of this kind of implorations) has been treated elsewhere.

Imam Tom Facchine From Omar Suleiman's Yaqeen Institute Makes A Formal Apology For The Many Mistakes & Misrepresentations Of Shia Islam & Iran In His Series

This is his apology video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5WT2K7I6EA

Speaking out works. May Allah swt bless both the Sunnis and Shias who spoke out against the propaganda and misinformation in these series. I saw many Sunnis defending Shias in the comments of every single video in that series. You can see my original posts in the reply where I copied and shared many of the comments.

Some of our Shia scholars who usually do not make such videos and speakers made videos correcting and refuting the misinformation:

A Response To Yaqeen Institute's Shi'ism Series By Shaykh Mahdi Rastani

A Response To Yaqeen Institute's Series On Shia Islam By Shaykh Azhar Nasser

Beyond Polemics: A Response to "Deep Dives" on Shia Islam By Yaqeen Institute With Shaykh Sayyid Sulayman Hassan

A Response To Shia Sunni Divide & Imam Tom Facchine By Sayyid Ammar Nakshawani

And of course my initial posts shared in this community refuting some of the misinformation as well! See links below for those posts.

I would also like to give a special thank you to Imam Tom for recognizing and admitting your mistakes. I know it takes a lot of courage to not only admit it but also make an apology video.

Allah swt loves those who recognize when they correct their wrongs. I hope you would have at least removed the videos with the misinformation or made a video correcting all your mistakes.

I wish more people could advise Tom in his apology to either remove the videos or correct his wrongs.

I hope inshAllah maybe a day comes when Yaqeen institute invites a credible Shia scholar for a lovely dialogue or interview!

Al-Suyuti stated in *Tarikh al-Khulafa’* (History of the Caliphs): Al-Tabarani and Al-Hakim recorded—on the authority of Ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him)—that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Gazing upon ‘Ali is an act of worship." He noted: "Its chain of transmission is *Hasan* (good)." Al-Tabarani and Al-Hakim also recorded this Hadith on the authority of ‘Imran ibn Husayn.

The thumbnail got me it was click bait had nothing to do with this reddit lol but I did watch the video for 10 minutes and it was interesting because it is a Sunni scholar who is not a wahabi and salafi and gives his own understanding regarding our beliefs or practices and he tries to give his reasons why we are wrong at the same time which if you are well versed in Islamic history and polemics you are like wow how do they get it wrong but at the same time I personally think the answers are not satisfying for a Sunni that is really striving towards the truth and asking questions.

If you do check out their video please be respectful and kind in the comments.

This channel doesn’t seem to want to sow hate against Shias and I appreciate that even if we are presented not entirely correct. They even have a video

https://youtu.be/F48FL38gUlE

saying istighatha is also a Sunni belief and Shias are not Kuffar for Tawassul, we should unite, Sunnis can pray behind us, and doing takfir against us is bad.

I appreciate this sentiment in these times for sure.

I completely forgot to add if any Sunni is interested in learning our beliefs from our own mouth like what does it mean to curse or why they feel the way they feel about Abu Bakr and some Sahaba feel free to read these articles:
