The purpose of this lecture - "Invitation to the Shia: Who is the Ahl al-Bayt (Family of the Prophet?)" Is to enlighten and educate the Shia and Sunni's as to who really is the Family of the Prophet and to invite the Shia to revert to pure Islam. Many Shiites individuals do not have full knowledge about all the doctrines of Shiism. So this lecture is not intended to offend the Shia, but rather to educate the Shia's and Sunnis. We do not harbour hatred toward the Shia. Furthermore, we oppose acts of violence between the Shia & Sunnis that are committed against individuals simply because they are Shia or Sunnis. _________________ An unbiased lecture by Adnan Rashid answering many commonly asked questions that many people have a misunderstanding of on this topic that has been talked about throughout the history of Islam - Who is the Ahl al-Bayt (Family of the Prophet?) Who are the Rightly-Guided Caliphs (Khalifas)? What does Allah say about who are the Ahl al-Bayt (Family of the Prophet) and where is the proof in the Quran? The status of abu bakr as siddiq, umar ibn al-khattab, Uthman ibn Affan, the wives of the prophet muhammad (peace be upon him) including Aisha Mother of the believers and many other Sahabah in the sight of Allah. Who are the people of the house according to the Quran and hadiths? What is the definition of a Sahabah? Who did the Sahabah consider who was the Ahl al-Bayt (Family of the Prophet?) Who was the Tabi'een and what did they consider who was the Ahl al-Bayt (Family of the Prophet?) Why do the Shia scholars not consider some of the sons of Hassan and Hussain as Ahl al-Bayt (Family of the Prophet?) How should we give Dawah to Shia and other misguided groups? How not to give Dawah?
