Shia Islam for Dummies: Ask Those who Know

[Abu Hurayrah]

[Shakir 9:26] Then Allah sent down His tranquillity upon His Messenger and upon the believers, and sent down hosts which you did not see, and chastised those who disbelieved, and that is the reward of the unbelievers.

This was about the unseen aid which the Muslims where receiving from Allah, during the battle of Hunayn. LIE number 101. Nothing to do with the Sahaba.

[Abu Hurayrah]

[Shakir 8:20] O you who believe! obey Allah and His Messenger and do not turn back from Him while you hear.
[Shakir 8:21] And be not like those who said, We hear, and they did not obey.

Ibn Ishaq said that this Ayah refers to the hypocrites, who pretend to hear and obey, while in fact they do neither. Allah declares that these are the most wicked creatures among the Children of Adam,

These verses is about the hypocrites, not the Sahaba. LIE number 102

[Abu Hurayrah]

[Shakir 8:23] And if Allah had known any good in them He would have made them hear, and if He makes them hear they would turn back while they withdraw.
[Shakir 8:24] O you who believe! answer (the call of) Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life; and know that Allah intervenes between man and his heart, and that to Him you shall be gathered.

It was also said that the Ayah (8:22) refers to some of the pagans of Quraysh from the tribe of Bani `Abd Ad-Dar, according to Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Ibn Jarir. Muhammad bin Ishaq said that this Ayah refers to hypocrites, as we stated. There is no contradiction here, because both disbelievers and hypocrites are devoid of sound comprehension, in addition to having lost the intention to do good. Allah states here that such are those who neither have sound understanding nor good intentions, even if they have some type of reason,
﴿وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ خَيْرًا لأَسْمَعَهُمْ﴾
(Had Allah known of any good in them, He would indeed have made them listen.)
He would have helped them understand. However, this did not happen because there is no goodness in such people, for Allah knows that,

The Command to obey Allah and His Messenger

Allah commands His believing servants to obey Him and His Messenger and warns them against defying him and imitating the disbelievers who reject him. Allah said,
﴿وَلاَ تَوَلَّوْاْ عَنْهُ﴾
(and turn not away from him...), neither refrain from obeying him or following his commands nor indulge in what he forbade,
﴿وَأَنتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ﴾
(while you are hearing.) after you gained knowledge of his Message,
﴿وَلاَ تَكُونُواْ كَالَّذِينَ قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْمَعُونَ ﴾
(And be not like those who say: "We have heard,'' but they hear not.)
Ibn Ishaq said that this Ayah refers to the hypocrites, who pretend to hear and obey, while in fact they do neither. Allah declares that these are the most wicked creatures among the Children of Adam,
﴿إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِندَ اللَّهِ الصُّمُّ﴾
(Verily, the worst of living creatures with Allah are the deaf) who do not hear the truth,
﴿الْبُكْمُ﴾
(and the dumb) who cannot comprehend it,
﴿الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ﴾
(who understand not. ) These indeed are the most wicked creatures, for every creature except them abide by the way that Allah created in them. These people were created to worship Allah, but instead disbelieved. This is why Allah equated them to animals, when He said,
﴿وَمَثَلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِى يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لاَ يَسْمَعُ إِلاَّ دُعَآءً وَنِدَآءً﴾
(And the example of those who disbelieve is as that of him who shouts to those that hear nothing but calls and cries.) ﴿2:171﴾, and,
﴿أُوْلَـئِكَ كَالأَنْعَـمِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ أُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْغَـفِلُونَ﴾
(They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones.) ﴿7:179﴾
It was also said that the Ayah (8:22) refers to some of the pagans of Quraysh from the tribe of Bani `Abd Ad-Dar, according to Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Ibn Jarir. Muhammad bin Ishaq said that this Ayah refers to hypocrites, as we stated. There is no contradiction here, because both disbelievers and hypocrites are devoid of sound comprehension, in addition to having lost the intention to do good. Allah states here that such are those who neither have sound understanding nor good intentions, even if they have some type of reason,
﴿وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ خَيْرًا لأَسْمَعَهُمْ﴾
(Had Allah known of any good in them, He would indeed have made them listen.)
He would have helped them understand. However, this did not happen because there is no goodness in such people, for Allah knows that,
﴿وَلَوْ أَسْمَعَهُمْ﴾
(even if He had made them listen...) and allowed them to understand,
﴿لَتَوَلَّواْ﴾
(they would but have turned...), intentionally and out of stubbornness, even after they comprehend,
﴿وَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ﴾
(with aversion.), to the truth.
﴿يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ﴾
(24. O you who believe! Answer Allah and (His) Messenger when he (the Messenger) calls you to that which will give you life, and know that Allah comes between a person and his heart. And verily to Him you shall (all) be gathered.)


Nothing to do with our topic, disobedience in UHUD, and nothing to do with the Sahaba.

[Abu Hurayrah]

[Shakir 3:151] We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust. (COWARDS WHO RAN AWAY IN AUHAD)

{ سَنُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلرُّعْبَ بِمَآ أَشْرَكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ سُلْطَاناً وَمَأْوَاهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَبِئْسَ مَثْوَىٰ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ }

We will cast terror (read ru‘b or ru‘ub) into the hearts of the disbelievers: after departing from Uhud they resolved to return in order to exterminate the Muslims, but they were terrified and did not return; for what they have associated, because of their associating, with God that for which He has revealed no warrant, that is, [no] argument in support of its worship, namely, idols; their abode shall be the Fire; evil is the abode, the resting place, of the evildoers, the disbelievers.

This is about the mushrikin. LIE number 104

[Abu Hurayrah]

[Shakir 3:176] And let not those grieve you who fall into unbelief hastily; surely they can do no harm to Allah at all; Allah intends that He should not give them any portion in the hereafter, and they shall have a grievous chastisement.

{ وَلاَ يَحْزُنكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي ٱلْكُفْرِ إِنَّهُمْ لَن يَضُرُّواْ ٱللَّهَ شَيْئاً يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَلاَّ يَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ حَظّاً فِي ٱلآخِرَةِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ }

Let them not grieve you (read yuhzinka, or yahzunka from [1st form] hazanahu, ‘he made him grieve’, an alternative expression to [4th form] ahzanahu, ‘he made him grieve’) those that vie with one another in unbelief, succumbing to it promptly by supporting it, namely, the Meccans or the hypocrites: in other words, do not be concerned for their unbelief; they will not hurt God at all, by their actions, only hurting themselves. God desires not to assign them any portion, any lot, in the Hereafter, that is, in Paradise, and that is why God forsook them; and theirs is a mighty chastisement, in the Fire.

This aya was also about the disbelievers of Maccah.

@Hurayrah, yes good job, you did it. Congratulation. Now good bye.*yawns*

[شمله ور خراساني]

STOP ATTRIBUTING THINGS TOWARDS ME THAT I HAVE NEVER SAID! SHOW ME WHERE I SAID THIS AS IT IS AS YOU SAID "the companions were all apostates" SHOW ME COME ON. Ta ba ado sari bache nawe ka os de rata da show na kro. If you don't show me where I said such thing then you are a liar! I am waiting now for you to quote me where I said this EXACT SAME THING.

why are you so jumpy? Whenver I ask you a question you become hostile. Don't you love your fellow Muslim brother? LOL

You said yourself that abu bakr siddique and umar radiallahu anhu were munafiqs. Or are you going to deny this?

[MeemWawMeemNoon]

Haider Bangash (or anyone esle who has a problem against the first three khulafaa'), what would it take for you to change your opinion of the first three khulafaa' of Khilafat-e Rashidah?
