Every year, at the first Friday of Muharram, Shia Muslims commemorate the Global day of Ali Asghar (AS). Yesterday was the first Friday of Muharram and Iranian Shia as well as other Shia throughout the world, marked this international day.
Abdullah Ali al-Asghar ibn Husayn or simply Ali Asghar (d. 10 Muharram 61 AH (10 October 680 CE)) was the youngest child of Imam Hussein ibn Ali (grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the third Shia Imam) and Rubab (daughter of the chief of the Kinda Imra al-Qays tribe). The six month old Ali Asghar was killed during the Battle of Karbala and is commemorated in Shia as the "personified quintessence of the innocent victim".
The following are some photos from the Global day of Ali Asghar in Iran during Muharram 2016.
Today is the first day of Muharram in 2016 (1438 A.H).
Although Imam Hussain (PBUH) and his family and companions have not arrived yet to Karbala in such day but mourning ceremonies have got started at all over the cities in Iran as well as other countries by Shia Muslim people to follow Imam Reza�s mourning style for the martyrdom anniversary of the holy prophet Muhammad�s grandson, Imam Hussain.

Imam Reza, the 8th beloved Imam, said about his father, Imam Musa (Moses) Kazem (PBUH):
�No one could have seen my father�s smile when the month of Muharram came. Sadness was increasing in his face day by day till the tenth of Muharram [day of Ashura] and when the tenth day of Muharram would dawn, it would be a day of grief and weeping for him.�
I was searching web for the phrase "Shia Islam" and unexpectedly I found an image saying Shias are not Muslims!!
It was in a website from DAESH (ISIS) that are roots of terror in the world and destroyed the human face of Islam. DAESH people are Wahhabis, the followers of Bani Ummayyah who killed Imam Hussein (as), grand son of the Prophet Muhammad (sawa) and master of the youth of Heaven.
Now these wild and ugly-face people say that Shia are Kafir! So funny.
Shia believes in Allah and prophecy of Muhammad (sawa). They also believe in the day of Judgement. They pray towards Kaba and have the same Quran as other Muslims. So they are Muslims.
Why Shia Are TRUE Muslims?
Furthermore there are a lot of documents in Sunni books which say Shia are right. If you read historical books and some correspondence between scholars of Shia and Sunni, e.g. AlMurajiat or Nights of Pishavar you will simply find the truth. ValiAsr website has a lot of proof for Shia from Sunni sources.
Tabarani, a Sunni scholar says in his book Mujam AlOsat that prophet said: O Ali, you and your Shias are in the Heaven.
Previously in this blog, five simple proofs for Shia are provided (+) Also one of several Quranic reasons for Shia Islam is provided here: Shia Proof from Quran. Moreover hundreds of proofs can be found searching the web for the words Proof of Shia Islam or Why Shia is True...
Dear Muslims or Non Muslims who are trying to find the truth about Islam, PLEASE research before decision. READ Islamic books like Quran, Nahjulbalagha and Historical books directly not from unknown weblogs or unreliable sites. Moreover, note that Shia countries like Iran never started a war against other countries, and never conducted terrorist attacks against peaceful people. Note that all terrorist groups currently active in the world of Islam like DAESH, ALSHABA, ALQIDA, ALNUSRA, ... are Sunni extremist or Wahhabis not Shia. Open your eyes and be careful. Western media want to corrupt the face of Islam, so they create, grow and support terrorist groups within Muslims and they never say good news about Shia Muslims so that the axis of resistance against arrogance and Israel be weakened.
Now I repeat the article of Islamic Thinkers site from DAESH who says bullshits against Shia Muslims! May Google index my blog as well!
Among the various E-mails that we have been recieving from Muslims who claim to be Sunnis telling us not to call Shia�s "disbelievers" with the primary reason being "Not to cause disunity" and "They still believe in Allah & His Messenger", we tell them to refer to the scholars of the salaf and take into consideration as to what they have said about the Shia�s. In this articles are the words of the noble scholars of the past themselves. Read on to clarify your ignorant misconception once and for all. Just because you never heard any one of your collagues call Shia�s Kafir does not mean that they aren�t a Kafir. Do a little extra research and don�t be a shallow thinker who passes judgment from the surface�.
� Imaam ash-Shaafi`ee On one occasion ash-Shaafi`ee said concerning the Shi`ites, "I have not seen among the heretics a people more famous for falsehood than the Raafidite Shi`ites." [Ibn Taymeeyah, Minhaaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah, 1/39] On another occasion he said, "Narrate knowledge from everyone you meet except the Raafidite Shi`ites, because they invent Hadeeths and adopt them as part of their religion." [Ibid, p. 38]
� Imaam Abu Haneefah It was reported that often Abu Haneefah used to repeat the following statement about the Shi`ites, "Whoever doubts whether they are disbelievers has himself committed disbelief."
� Imaam Maalik Once Maalik was asked about them and he replied, "Do not speak to them nor narrate from them, for surely they are liars." [Minhaaj as-Sunnah, 1/37] During a class of Imaam Maalik, it was mentioned that the Raafidite Shi`ites curse the Sahaabah. In reply, he quoted the Quranic verse, "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and those with him are harsh with the disbelievers and gentle among themselves. So that the disbelievers may become enraged with them." He then said, "Whoever becomes enraged when the Sahaabah are mentioned is one about whom the verse speaks." [Tafseeer al-Qurtubee, Soorah al-Fath; Editors note: That is, anyone who is enraged by the mention of the Sahaabah is a disbeliever, because the verse says, "the disbelievers may become enraged with them (Sahaabah)."]
� Ibn al-Mubaarak Ibn al-Mubaarak was reported to have said, "Religion is gained from Ahl al-Hadeeth, scholastic theology and crafty exemptions from religious ordinances of Ahl ar-Ray and lies from the Raafidite Shi`ites." [Adh-Dhahabee, al Muntaqaa min Minhaaj al-I`tidaal, p. 48
� Abu Zur`ah ar-Raazee This great scholar was quoted as saying, "If you see someone degrade any of the companions of the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, know that he is a disbeliever. Because the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, was real, what he brought was the truth and all of it was conveyed to us by the way of the Sahaabah. What those disbelievers wish to do is to cast doubt on the reliability of our narrators in order to invalidate the Quraan and the Sunnah. Thus the disbelievers are the ones most deserving defamation."
� Al-Qaadee Abu Ya`laa It was reported that Abu Ya`laa said, "The position of jurists concerning one who curses the Sahaabah, believing that such an act is permissible, is that he has committed an act of disbelief. If he curses them but does not believe that cursing them is permissible, then he is guilty of immorality, and not disbelief." [Ibn Taymeeyah, as-Sawaarim al-Maslool, p. 569]
� At-Tahaawee In his book on the Islamic creed, al-`Aqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah, the author states, "We love the companions of Allaahs Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, without going overboard in our love of anyone of them or remaining aloof (tabarra) from any of them. We hate those who hate them or speak ill of them and we only speak well of them. Loving them is a religious act, and an _expression of faith and righteousness while hating them is an act of disbelief, hypocrisy and transgression." [Sharh al-`Aqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah, p. 528]
� Ibn Hazm al-Andaloosee One day during the period of Muslim rule in Spain, Imaam Abu Muhammad ibn Hazm was having a debate with some Spanish Catholic priests about their religious texts. He brought before them evidence of textual distortions in the Bible and the loss of original manuscripts. When they replied by pointing out to him Shi`ite claims also being distorted, Ibn Hazm informed them that "Shi`ite could not be used as evidence against the Quraan or against Muslims because they are not themselves Muslims." [Ibn Hazm, al-Fisaal fee al-Milal wa an-Nihal, 2/78 and 4/182]
Their claims have been rebutted by numerous other early scholars like Ibn Taymeeyah in Minhaaj as-Sunnah, adh-Dhahabee in Muntaqaa min Minhaaj al-I`tidaal, Ibn Katheer in his history book [al-Bidaayah wa an-Nihaayah], Ibn al-Jawzee in Talbees Iblees, and al-Qaadee ibn al-`Arabee in al-`Awwaasim min al-Qawaasim.
Contemporary Scholars
� Imaam al-Aloosee He declared the Raafidite Shi�ites disbelievers because of their defamation of the Sahaabah. His position was based on the rulings of Imam Malik and other scholars who were in agreement with him. In reply to their claim to be Ahl Bayt (the Prophet�s sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam family), al-Aloosee said, "No, they are really followers of the Devils and Ahl Bayt are innocent of them."

A message to Muslims who claim to be Sunnis: � From this we can clearly see as to the positions of the Shia�s. The ONLY exception on the present reality of the Shia�s would be the "Zaidiyyah" who fall into the "ahlul bida�ah" category. Others are more complicated like the Raafidhah (like those in Iraq and Iran) who claim in their own books that the Qur�an is distorted, that the Sahabah were Kuffar except three, who accuse the honor of the propeht (saw) and in particular Aisha (ra), they curse the Sahabah, they follow their 12 Imams as infallible as if they were prophets and many other Kufr deviations. They are Taa�ifatul Shirk, meaning that they are an entity of Shirk in general though some ignorant individuals who do not beleive as their imams do may still be Muslims from Ahl Al Qiblah, their Imams are Kuffar but their awam provided they reject the kufr of their scholars may still be Muslims. However the shi�a in Iraq are openly allied to the Americans against Muslims, this is Kufr Akbar that takes them out of the fold of Islam regardless of their �Aqeedah.
A message to the Shia�s: � We don�t care what you have to say in response to this. You can play your tuqiyyah all you want. Our positions towards you is clear. And we will expose you, your beliefs, your imams just like we expose everything that is clear kufr.
Sami Yusuf, Islamic singer, releases his haunting new debut single �Inna Fil Jannati� from his new album Barakah (scheduled for release 01 Feb 2016). This beautiful traditional Islamic piece and poem is about the love for the Ahl al-Bayt (or household of the Prophet [pbuh]).
In a narration (Bihar AlAnvar, V 44, P 194) from the prophet, its said that this poem is narrated by Gabriel for Imam Hassan (as) and Imam Hussein (as), sons of Fatiam (sa) while they were in cradle.
Surely, a river of milk flows in heaven
For the sake of Ali, Hussein, and Hassan
Whosoever loves them
Enters Paradise without sadness
Love of #AhlulBeyt (prophets family) is obligatory to us
Is there a Quranic reason to prove that Shiite (Shia) is the true sect of Islam or Sunni?
Of-course! there are several verses in Quran which can be used to prove Shia are right or Sunnah (Sunni).
The main difference between Shia and Sunni is the subject of Imamat; Shia says Imam is chosen by Allah and He must say to his prophet who is the Imam after him. They say that the prophet Muhammad assigned Ali (as) as his Imam. On the other hand Sunni brothers say that Imam must be chosen by a council and Abubakr is the Imam after the prophet. Here I prove that Imam must be chosen by Allah not a council.
Who must choose Imam (Caliphs) of the prophet Muhammad (sawa)?
Imamat in Quran
Quran says : . Indeed, I will make you an Imam for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my descendants?" [Allah] said, "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers (Quran 2:124) . In another place, in Shora chapter, Quran says: And their affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves (Quran 42:38) . Sunni Muslims use this last verse and claim that Imamat is an affair of Muslims and they must select an Imam by consultation. However the first verse says that Imamat is not an affair of people, its an affair and covenant of Allah and He must assign the Imam.
So, Imamat (leadership) is covenant of Allah not affair of people, and Imam must be chosen by Allah, not by consultation .
Criminal Regime of Saudi Arabia executed Sheikh Nimr, the grand Shia Cleric. Definitely blood of this oppressed martyr will speed up the countdown for fall of the Saudi wild and brutal regime.
Quran Says: And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir an authority (17:33).
The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks at the start of his course to clerics at the post-jurisprudence level in Tehran on Sunday, forcefully condemned the grave crime committed by Saudi Arabia- the assassination of the religious and innocent scholar- Sheikh Nimr Baqr al-Nimr. His Eminence stressed that the world should show a sense of responsibility towards this crime of the Saudis and similar crimes committed by them in Yemen and Bahrain, reiterating that without a doubt, shedding the blood of this innocent martyr will have an immediate impact and the hand of divine vengeance will snatch Saudi politicians by their necks.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said: �This innocent scholar did not invite the people to an armed struggle, nor did he endeavor to hatch a secret plot. The only thing that he did was to make criticisms in an outspoken manner and to counsel the people to do good and advise them against evil and this originated from his religious zeal.�
Ayatollah Khamenei described the martyrdom of Sheikh Nimr and shedding his blood without any cogent reasons as the political mistake of the Saudi government, adding: �Allah the Exalted will not forgive shedding the blood of an innocent person. Shedding the blood of this innocent person will cause serious troubles for the politicians and criminals of this regime in a very short period of time.�
His Eminence criticized the silence of those who make extravagant claims about freedom, democracy and human rights and condemned such people�s support of the Saudi regime that sheds the blood of innocent people just because they raise their voices against certain issues. He stressed: �The world of Islam and the whole world should have a sense of responsibility towards this matter.�
He stated that torturing the people of Bahrain and destroying their mosques and houses, and also bombarding the people of Yemen for more than 10 months are other examples of the crimes committed by the Saudi regime, adding: �Those who sincerely care about the fate of humanity, human rights and justice should pursue these events and they should not be indifferent about this situation.�
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution stated: �Shahid Sheikh Nimr will undoubtedly receive the grace of God and the hands of divine vengeance will surely snatch � by their necks - those cruel individuals who took his life and this is a source of comfort for us.�
Down with Saudi Arabia Regime .
May Allah speed up the appearance of Imam Mahdi (atfs).
