Shia Islam
Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة Shīʿah), an abbreviation of Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي, "followers of Ali"), is a branch of Islam which holds that the Islamic prophet Muhammad's proper successor as Caliph was his son-in-law and cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib. Shia Islam primarily contrasts with Sunni Islam, whose adherents believe that Muhammad's father-in-law Abu Bakr was his proper successor.
Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shia Islam is the second-largest branch of Islam: in 2009, Shia Muslims constituted 10–13% of the world's Muslim population.Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam. In 2012 it was estimated that perhaps 85 percent of Shias were Twelvers.
Shia Islam is based on the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in hadith recorded by the Shia, and certain books deemed sacred to the Shia (Nahj al-Balagha). Shia consider Ali to have been divinely appointed as the successor to Muhammad, and as the first Imam. The Shia also extend this "Imami" doctrine to Muhammad's family, the Ahl al-Bayt ("the People of the House"), and certain individuals among his descendants, known as Imams, who they believe possess special spiritual and political authority over the community, infallibility, and other divinely-ordained traits. Although there are myriad Shia subsects, modern Shia Islam has been divided into three main groupings: Twelvers, Ismailis and Zaidis, with Twelver Shia being the largest and most influential group among Shia.

Islam
Islam (/ˈɪslɑːm/;Arabic: الإسلام, al-ʾIslām IPA: [alʔisˈlaːm]) is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion articulated by the Qur'an, a religious text considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God (Allāh), and, for the vast majority of adherents, by the teachings and normative example (called the sunnah, composed of accounts called hadith) of Muhammad (c. 570–8 June 632 CE), considered by most of them to be the last prophet of God. An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim (sometimes spelled "Moslem").
Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable and that the purpose of existence is to worship God. Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times before through prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims maintain that the previous messages and revelations have been partially misinterpreted over time, they are nevertheless all obliged, according to the Qur'an, to treat the older scriptures with the utmost respect.

Twelver
Twelver (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازده امامی, pronounced [ʃiːʔe-je dævɑzdæh emɑmiː]) Shia Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: إمامية) is the largest branch of Shia Islam. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the last Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, lives in occultation and will reappear as the promised Mahdi.
Twelvers believe that the Twelve Imams are the spiritual and political successors to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to the theology of Twelvers, the Twelve Imams are exemplary human individuals who not only rule over the community in justice, but also are able to keep and interpret sharia and the esoteric meaning of the Quran. The words and deeds (Sunnah) of Muhammad and the Imams are a guide and model for the community to follow; as a result, Muhammad and the Imams must be free from error and sin, known as Ismah or infallibility, and must be chosen by divine decree, or nass, through Muhammad.

The Twelve Imams
The Twelve Imams are the spiritual and political successors to the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the Twelver or Athnā‘ashariyyah branch of Shia Islam and in Alevi Islam. According to the theology of Twelvers, the Twelve Imams are exemplary human individuals who not only rule over the community with justice, but also are able to keep and interpret sharia and the esoteric meaning of the Quran. Muhammad and Imams' words and deeds are a guide and model for the community to follow; as a result, they must be free from error and sin, known as Ismah or infallibility and must be chosen by divine decree, or nass, through the Prophet.
The belief of Imamah
It is believed in Twelver Shia Islam that ‘aql, divine wisdom, is the source of the souls of the Prophets and Imams and gives them esoteric knowledge called Hikmah and that their sufferings are a means of divine grace to their devotees. Although the Imam is not the recipient of a divine revelation, he has a close relationship with God, through which God guides him, and the Imam in turn guides the people. The Imams are also guided by secret texts in their possession, such as al-Jafr and al-Jamia. Imamate, or belief in the divine guide is a fundamental belief in the Twelver Shia doctrine and is based on the concept that God would not leave humanity without access to divine guidance.

10:15Imam Mahdi Protecting Shia's from enemies.
Imam Mahdi Protecting Shia's from enemies.Imam Mahdi Protecting Shia's from enemies.
Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Mahdī (Arabic:محمد بن الحسن المهدي) (born c. July 29, 869 (15 Sha'bān 255 AH), in Occultation since 941) is believed by Twelver Shī'a Muslims to be the Mahdī, an ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imām of the Twelve Imams. Twelver Shī'a believe that al-Mahdī was born in 869 and did not die but rather was hidden by God in 941 (this is referred to as the Occultation) and will later emerge with Isa (Jesus Christ) in order to fulfill their mission of bringing peace and justice to the world. He assumed the Imamate at 5 years of age. To support Imam Mahdi's claim, Twelver Shi'as along with some other Muslim sects quote the following Hadith: "I and `Ali are the fathers of this nation; whoever knows us very well also knows Allah, and whoever denies us also denies Allah, the Unique, the Mighty. And from `Ali's descendants are my grandsons al-Hasan and al-Husayn, who are the masters of the youths of Paradise, and from al-Husayn's descendants shall be nine: whoever obeys them obeys me, and whoever disobeys them also disobeys me; the ninth among them is their Qa'im and Mahdi."[10] The eleventh Imam of the Twelve Imams Hasan al-Askari died on 1 January 874 AD (8th Rabi' al-awwal, 260 AH)[11] and since that day, his son Mahdi is believed by Shi'as to be the Imam, appointed by Allah, to lead the believers of the era. The most popular account of al-Mahdi in Shi'a literature is taken from his father's funeral. It is reported that as the funeral prayer was about to begin, al-Mahdi's uncle, Jafar ibn Ali approached to lead the prayers. However, al-Mahdi approached and commanded, "Move aside, uncle; only an Imam can lead the funeral prayer of an Imam." Jafar moved aside, and the five-year-old child led the funeral prayer for his father. It is reported that it was at this very moment that al-Mahdi disappeared and went into ghaybat, or occultation.[citation needed] -
20:12The Twelver Shi'a Islam & Imamiyyah
The Twelver Shi'a Islam & ImamiyyahThe Twelver Shi'a Islam & Imamiyyah
Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the Mahdi will be the returned Twelfth Imam who disappeared and is believed by Twelvers to be in occultation. Twelvers share many tenets of Shī'ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī Shī'ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and, for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Imām. People of the Twelver faith form majorities in Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrain; a plurality in Lebanon; and significant minorities in Kuwait, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Smaller minorities also exist in Oman, Yemen, Egypt, and Uzbekistan. Alevis in Turkey and Albania and Alawis in Syria share belief in the twelve Imams with Twelvers. The Twelvers are also known by other names, each connoting some aspect of the faith: The Shī'ah (or Shi'a) is commonly used as a synonym for "Twelvers" since this branch comprises the majority group of Shī'ī Islam. Ja'farī refers to Twelvers to the exclusion of the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī ("Fivers"). This term refers to the majority Twelver school of jurisprudence (a minority school, the Akhbarī, also exists). It is attributed to Ja'far al-Sadiq, who the Twelvers consider to be their Sixth Imām. The founders of the Sunni Hanafi and Maliki schools of jurisprudence narrated hadith from Ja'far al-Sadiq. Imāmī is a reference to the Twelver belief in the infallibility of the Imāms. Though the Ismā'īlī also accept the concept of Imāms, this term is used specifically for the Twelvers. Overview Twelvers believe that the descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his daughter Fatimah and his son-in-law 'Alī are the best source of knowledge about the Qur'an and Islam, the most trusted carriers and protectors of Muḥammad's Sunnah (traditions) and the most worthy of emulation. In particular, Twelvers recognize the succession of 'Alī, Muḥammad's cousin, son-in-law, the male head of the Ahl al-Bayt or "people of the [Prophet's] house" and the father of Muḥammad's only bloodline, as opposed to that of the Caliphate recognized by Sunni Muslims. Twelvers also believe that 'Alī should have been successor to Muḥammad. Although 'Alī is widely accepted by Muslims in general to be the fourth successor to the Caliphate after Uthman, for the Shī'ah, however, he is the first divinely sanctioned "Imām", or divinely appointed spiritual leader after the Prophet Muḥammad. The seminal event in Shī'ah history is the martyrdom in 680 CE of 'Alī's son Husayn, who led an uprising against the, illegitimate to them, Caliph. For the Shī'ah, Husayn came to symbolize resistance to tyranny. Regardless of the dispute about the Caliphate, Twelvers recognize the religious authority of the Twelve Imams, also called Khalīfah Ilāhi. The Ja'farī derive their Sharia, or religious law, from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The difference between Sunni and Shīʻa Sharia results from a Shīʻa belief that Muhammad assigned ʻAlī to be the first ruler and the leader after him (the Khalifa or steward). Moreover, according to Shīʻa, an Imam or a Caliph can not be democratically elected and has to be nominated by God. Sunnis believe that their Caliphs were popular and had greater vote so they were made caliphs. This difference resulted in the Shīʻa: -
47:52Introduction To Shia Islam
Introduction To Shia IslamIntroduction To Shia Islam
The Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة Shīʿah), or the Shiites (/ˈʃiːaɪts/), represent the second largest denomination of Islam. Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shi'a is the short form of the historic phrase Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي) meaning "followers", "faction" or "party" of Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Ali, whom the Shia believe to be Muhammad's successor in the Caliphate. Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam, and the term Shia Muslim is often taken to refer to Twelvers by default. As of 2009 Shia Muslims constituted 10-13% of the world's Muslim population and 39% of the Middle East's entire population Shi'i Islam is based on the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in hadith recorded by the Shia, and certain books deemed sacred to the Shia (Nahj al-Balagha). Shia consider Ali to have been divinely appointed as the successor to Muhammad, and as the first Imam. In the centuries after the death of Muhammad, the Shia extended this "Imami" doctrine to Muhammad's family, the Ahl al-Bayt ("the People of the House"), and certain individuals among his descendants, known as Imams, who they believe possess special spiritual and political authority over the community, infallibility, and other quasi-divine traits. Although there are myriad Shi'i subsects, modern Shi'i Islam has been divided into three main groupings: Twelvers, Ismailis and Zaidis. The word Shia (Arabic: شيعة shīʻah /ˈʃiːʕa/) means follower and is the short form of the historic phrase shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي /ˈʃiːʕatu ˈʕaliː/), meaning "followers of Ali", "faction of Ali", or "party of Ali". Shi'a and Shiism are forms used in English, while Shi'ite or Shiite, as well as Shia, refer to its adherents. The archaic and phonetically incorrect spelling Shaih was notably used by Winston Churchill in a discussion of the religious mixture of modern-day Iraq. Shia Muslims believe that just as a prophet is appointed by God alone, only God has the prerogative to appoint the successor to his prophet. They believe God chose Ali to be Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam - Peace be upon him) successor, infallible, the first caliph (khalifa, head of state) of Islam. Muhammad, before his death, designated Ali as his successor. Ali was Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) first cousin and closest living male relative as well as his son-in-law, having married Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) daughter Fatimah. Ali would eventually become the fourth Muslim (sunni) caliph. After the last pilgrimage, Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) ordered the gathering of Muslims at the pond of Khumm and it was there that Shi'a Muslims believe Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) nominated Ali to be his successor. The hadith of the pond of Khumm was narrated on 18th of Dhu al-Hijjah of 10 AH in the Islamic calendar (10 March 632 AD) at a place called Ghadir Khumm, located near the city of al-Juhfah, Saudi Arabia. Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) there stated: Oh people! Reflect on the Quran and comprehend its verses. Look into its clear verses and do not follow its ambiguous parts, for by Allah, none shall be able to explain to you its warnings and its mysteries, nor shall anyone clarify its interpretation, other than the one that I have grasped his hand, brought up beside myself, [and lifted his arm,] the one about whom I inform you that whomever I am his master (Mawla[a])), then Ali is his master (Mawla); and he is Ali Ibn Abi Talib, my brother, the executor of my will (Wasiyyi), whose appointment as your guardian and leader has been sent down to me from Allah, the mighty and the majestic. -

SHIA-"SUNNI" DEBATE: Sayed Ali Al-Shobayri vs. Mohammed Hijab [UNCUT]SHIA-"SUNNI" DEBATE: Sayed Ali Al-Shobayri vs. Mohammed Hijab [UNCUT]
The full recording of the debate between the (Usuli Twelver) Shia Muslim student of knowledge, Sayed Ali Al-Shobayri, and the "Sunni" Muslim polemicist and intellectual, of the Salafi movement, Mohammed Hijab. Topic: Mohammed Hijab's YouTube video entitled, "The REAL Differences Between SUNNI and SHIA". Subjects: 1. The preservation of the Holy Quran, in light of Shia and "Sunni" literature; 2. The status of the Sahaba (companions of Prophet Muhammad); 3. The concept of Imamah (divinely-appointed leadership), and what it entails - all three with utmost clarity from our side. Date: Saturday 17th June 2017 at 6:30 PM. Location: The meeting took place in a private and neutral venue in London, United Kingdom. The unfortunate breach of conditions which occurred: https://youtu.be/gXebIumf-EI (See our pinned comment for moments to look out for) The Rafida Team are pleased to announce that we have successfully met with the Salafi polemicist, Mohammed Hijab today, in order to address his video entitled, "The REAL Differences Between SUNNI and SHIA". Whilst our initial thinking was to refute - in an online series - the fallacious reasoning and false claims that he made, we thought it would be more appropriate to enter into a face-to-face dialogue. We invited Mohammed Hijab to privately meet with us (as opposed to a "debate" in Speakers' Corner), to which he duly accepted. The meeting enabled us to set the record straight, and despite the interruptions, we had managed to successfully refute all the baseless allegations he had levelled against Shia Islam. Due to breached conditions, the debate was cut short on the following grounds: - The management of the neutral venue informed local authorities (the police) about the constant disruption and aggressive behaviour caused by Mohammed Hijab's associates at the venue. - Bringing more than five people, when it had been agreed that only five people would attend along with the debaters. The venue was to be kept confidential, but despite this, it was common knowledge to a particular group of individuals - namely Ebn Hossein and Abu Ismail Al-Farsi, even though it was agreed neither were to attend, due to their poor manners. It is noteworthy to mention that this was the case even when both sides had agreed to a neutral, disclosed location - let alone a public debate in Speakers' Corner. - Midway through the debate, two Salafis entered attempting to intimidate the Shia attendee, asking, "Who are the Shias here?!" - The police attended as the security of the venue were appalled with the behaviour of those individuals. The debate was brought to an end, not before Ebn Hossein and Abu Ismail Al-Farsi assaulted a Shia brother as they were leaving the venue. It should also be noted that Hijab didn't even stick to the debate topic itself, by throwing in materials outside of the video in question.

pt.102 Proving Imam Al-Mahdi's birth according to Twelver Shias
The method used to grade the authenticity of Imam Al-Mahdi's birth is the same method used to grade the authenticity of the Prophet's Will in which Imam Ahmed Al-Hasan pbuh came with.Unfortunately, the Usooli Shias have used this method from a long time ago. As we can see in this video, a well known source of emulation "Sayed Kamal AlHaydari" is trying to present a research subject concerning the proof of Imam Al-Mahdi's birth, and shows us how many hadeeths have been untrustworthy due to the sickness of Ilm al rijal. Syed Ammar Nakshawani, well known English Shia lecturer,once said,that this is one of the ways we would need to use in order to see if a hadeeth is authentic or not, when the Prophet's Will was brought up to him...now I would like to see him tell me what he thinks about Ilm A...

Imam Mahdi Protecting Shia's from enemies.
Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Mahdī (Arabic:محمد بن الحسن المهدي) (born c. July 29, 869 (15 Sha'bān 255 AH), in Occultation since 941) is believed by Twelver Shī'a Muslims to be the Mahdī, an ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imām of the Twelve Imams. Twelver Shī'a believe that al-Mahdī was born in 869 and did not die but rather was hidden by God in 941 (this is referred to as the Occultation) and will later emerge with Isa (Jesus Christ) in order to fulfill their mission of bringing peace and justice to the world. He assumed the Imamate at 5 years of age.

The Twelver Shi'a Islam & Imamiyyah
Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the Mahdi will be the returned Twelfth Imam who disappeared and is believed by Twelvers to be in occultation. Twelvers share many tenets of Shī'ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī Shī'ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and, for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Imām. People of the Twelver faith form majorities in Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrai...

Introduction To Shia Islam
The Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة Shīʿah), or the Shiites (/ˈʃiːaɪts/), represent the second largest denomination of Islam. Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shi'a is the short form of the historic phrase Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي) meaning "followers", "faction" or "party" of Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Ali, whom the Shia believe to be Muhammad's successor in the Caliphate. Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam, and the term Shia Muslim is often taken to refer to Twelvers by default. As of 2009 Shia Muslims constituted 10-13% of the world's Muslim population and 39% of the Middle East's entire population Shi'i Islam is based on the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in had...

And from `Ali's descendants are my grandsons al-Hasan and al-Husayn, who are the masters of the youths of Paradise, and from al-Husayn's descendants shall be nine: whoever obeys them obeys me, and whoever disobeys them also disobeys me; the ninth among them is their Qa'im and Mahdi."[10]
The eleventh Imam of the Twelve Imams Hasan al-Askari died on 1 January 874 AD (8th Rabi' al-awwal, 260 AH)[11] and since that day, his son Mahdi is believed by Shi'as to be the Imam, appointed by Allah, to lead the believers of the era. The most popular account of al-Mahdi in Shi'a literature is taken from his father's funeral. It is reported that as the funeral prayer was about to begin, al-Mahdi's uncle, Jafar ibn Ali approached to lead the prayers. However, al-Mahdi approached and commanded, "Move aside, uncle; only an Imam can lead the funeral prayer of an Imam." Jafar moved aside, and the five-year-old child led the funeral prayer for his father. It is reported that it was at this very moment that al-Mahdi disappeared and went into ghaybat, or occultation.[citation needed]

Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Mahdī (Arabic:محمد بن الحسن المهدي) (born c. July 29, 869 (15 Sha'bān 255 AH), in Occultation since 941) is believed by Twelver Shī'a Muslims to be the Mahdī, an ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imām of the Twelve Imams. Twelver Shī'a believe that al-Mahdī was born in 869 and did not die but rather was hidden by God in 941 (this is referred to as the Occultation) and will later emerge with Isa (Jesus Christ) in order to fulfill their mission of bringing peace and justice to the world. He assumed the Imamate at 5 years of age.

Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam....
Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the Mahdi will be the returned Twelfth Imam who disappeared and is believed by Twelvers to be in occultation.
Twelvers share many tenets of Shī'ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī Shī'ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and, for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Imām.
People of the Twelver faith form majorities in Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrain; a plurality in Lebanon; and significant minorities in Kuwait, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Smaller minorities also exist in Oman, Yemen, Egypt, and Uzbekistan.
Alevis in Turkey and Albania and Alawis in Syria share belief in the twelve Imams with Twelvers.
The Twelvers are also known by other names, each connoting some aspect of the faith:
The Shī'ah (or Shi'a) is commonly used as a synonym for "Twelvers" since this branch comprises the majority group of Shī'ī Islam.
Ja'farī refers to Twelvers to the exclusion of the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī ("Fivers"). This term refers to the majority Twelver school of jurisprudence (a minority school, the Akhbarī, also exists). It is attributed to Ja'far al-Sadiq, who the Twelvers consider to be their Sixth Imām. The founders of the Sunni Hanafi and Maliki schools of jurisprudence narrated hadith from Ja'far al-Sadiq.
Imāmī is a reference to the Twelver belief in the infallibility of the Imāms. Though the Ismā'īlī also accept the concept of Imāms, this term is used specifically for the Twelvers.
Overview
Twelvers believe that the descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his daughter Fatimah and his son-in-law 'Alī are the best source of knowledge about the Qur'an and Islam, the most trusted carriers and protectors of Muḥammad's Sunnah (traditions) and the most worthy of emulation.
In particular, Twelvers recognize the succession of 'Alī, Muḥammad's cousin, son-in-law, the male head of the Ahl al-Bayt or "people of the [Prophet's] house" and the father of Muḥammad's only bloodline, as opposed to that of the Caliphate recognized by Sunni Muslims. Twelvers also believe that 'Alī should have been successor to Muḥammad.
Although 'Alī is widely accepted by Muslims in general to be the fourth successor to the Caliphate after Uthman, for the Shī'ah, however, he is the first divinely sanctioned "Imām", or divinely appointed spiritual leader after the Prophet Muḥammad. The seminal event in Shī'ah history is the martyrdom in 680 CE of 'Alī's son Husayn, who led an uprising against the, illegitimate to them, Caliph. For the Shī'ah, Husayn came to symbolize resistance to tyranny.
Regardless of the dispute about the Caliphate, Twelvers recognize the religious authority of the Twelve Imams, also called Khalīfah Ilāhi.
The Ja'farī derive their Sharia, or religious law, from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The difference between Sunni and Shīʻa Sharia results from a Shīʻa belief that Muhammad assigned ʻAlī to be the first ruler and the leader after him (the Khalifa or steward). Moreover, according to Shīʻa, an Imam or a Caliph can not be democratically elected and has to be nominated by God. Sunnis believe that their Caliphs were popular and had greater vote so they were made caliphs. This difference resulted in the Shīʻa:

The Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة Shīʿah), or the Shiites (/ˈʃiːaɪts/), represent the second largest denomination of Islam. Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shi'a is the short form of the historic phrase Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي) meaning "followers", "faction" or "party" of Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Ali, whom the Shia believe to be Muhammad's successor in the Caliphate. Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam, and the term Shia Muslim is often taken to refer to Twelvers by default. As of 2009 Shia Muslims constituted 10-13% of the world's Muslim population and 39% of the Middle East's entire population
Shi'i Islam is based on the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in hadith recorded by the Shia, and certain books deemed sacred to the Shia (Nahj al-Balagha). Shia consider Ali to have been divinely appointed as the successor to Muhammad, and as the first Imam. In the centuries after the death of Muhammad, the Shia extended this "Imami" doctrine to Muhammad's family, the Ahl al-Bayt ("the People of the House"), and certain individuals among his descendants, known as Imams, who they believe possess special spiritual and political authority over the community, infallibility, and other quasi-divine traits. Although there are myriad Shi'i subsects, modern Shi'i Islam has been divided into three main groupings: Twelvers, Ismailis and Zaidis.
The word Shia (Arabic: شيعة shīʻah /ˈʃiːʕa/) means follower and is the short form of the historic phrase shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي /ˈʃiːʕatu ˈʕaliː/), meaning "followers of Ali", "faction of Ali", or "party of Ali". Shi'a and Shiism are forms used in English, while Shi'ite or Shiite, as well as Shia, refer to its adherents.
The archaic and phonetically incorrect spelling Shaih was notably used by Winston Churchill in a discussion of the religious mixture of modern-day Iraq.
Shia Muslims believe that just as a prophet is appointed by God alone, only God has the prerogative to appoint the successor to his prophet. They believe God chose Ali to be Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam - Peace be upon him) successor, infallible, the first caliph (khalifa, head of state) of Islam. Muhammad, before his death, designated Ali as his successor.
Ali was Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) first cousin and closest living male relative as well as his son-in-law, having married Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) daughter Fatimah. Ali would eventually become the fourth Muslim (sunni) caliph.
After the last pilgrimage, Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) ordered the gathering of Muslims at the pond of Khumm and it was there that Shi'a Muslims believe Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) nominated Ali to be his successor. The hadith of the pond of Khumm was narrated on 18th of Dhu al-Hijjah of 10 AH in the Islamic calendar (10 March 632 AD) at a place called Ghadir Khumm, located near the city of al-Juhfah, Saudi Arabia. Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) there stated:
Oh people! Reflect on the Quran and comprehend its verses. Look into its clear verses and do not follow its ambiguous parts, for by Allah, none shall be able to explain to you its warnings and its mysteries, nor shall anyone clarify its interpretation, other than the one that I have grasped his hand, brought up beside myself, [and lifted his arm,] the one about whom I inform you that whomever I am his master (Mawla[a])), then Ali is his master (Mawla); and he is Ali Ibn Abi Talib, my brother, the executor of my will (Wasiyyi), whose appointment as your guardian and leader has been sent down to me from Allah, the mighty and the majestic.

The full recording of the debate between the (Usuli Twelver) Shia Muslim student of knowledge, Sayed Ali Al-Shobayri, and the "Sunni" Muslim polemicist and intellectual, of the Salafi movement, Mohammed Hijab.
Topic: Mohammed Hijab's YouTube video entitled, "The REAL Differences Between SUNNI and SHIA".
Subjects:
1. The preservation of the Holy Quran, in light of Shia and "Sunni" literature;
2. The status of the Sahaba (companions of Prophet Muhammad);
3. The concept of Imamah (divinely-appointed leadership), and what it entails - all three with utmost clarity from our side.
Date: Saturday 17th June 2017 at 6:30 PM.
Location: The meeting took place in a private and neutral venue in London, United Kingdom.
The unfortunate breach of conditions which occurred: https://youtu.be/gXebIumf-EI
(See our pinned comment for moments to look out for)
The Rafida Team are pleased to announce that we have successfully met with the Salafi polemicist, Mohammed Hijab today, in order to address his video entitled, "The REAL Differences Between SUNNI and SHIA".
Whilst our initial thinking was to refute - in an online series - the fallacious reasoning and false claims that he made, we thought it would be more appropriate to enter into a face-to-face dialogue. We invited Mohammed Hijab to privately meet with us (as opposed to a "debate" in Speakers' Corner), to which he duly accepted. The meeting enabled us to set the record straight, and despite the interruptions, we had managed to successfully refute all the baseless allegations he had levelled against Shia Islam.
Due to breached conditions, the debate was cut short on the following grounds:
- The management of the neutral venue informed local authorities (the police) about the constant disruption and aggressive behaviour caused by Mohammed Hijab's associates at the venue.
- Bringing more than five people, when it had been agreed that only five people would attend along with the debaters. The venue was to be kept confidential, but despite this, it was common knowledge to a particular group of individuals - namely Ebn Hossein and Abu Ismail Al-Farsi, even though it was agreed neither were to attend, due to their poor manners. It is noteworthy to mention that this was the case even when both sides had agreed to a neutral, disclosed location - let alone a public debate in Speakers' Corner.
- Midway through the debate, two Salafis entered attempting to intimidate the Shia attendee, asking, "Who are the Shias here?!"
- The police attended as the security of the venue were appalled with the behaviour of those individuals. The debate was brought to an end, not before Ebn Hossein and Abu Ismail Al-Farsi assaulted a Shia brother as they were leaving the venue.
It should also be noted that Hijab didn't even stick to the debate topic itself, by throwing in materials outside of the video in question.

pt.102 Proving Imam Al-Mahdi's birth according to Twelver Shias
The method used to grade the authenticity of Imam Al-Mahdi's birth is the same method used to grade the authenticity of the Prophet's Will in which Imam Ahmed Al-Hasan pbuh came with.Unfortunately, the Usooli Shias have used this method from a long time ago. As we can see in this video, a well known source of emulation "Sayed Kamal AlHaydari" is trying to present a research subject concerning the proof of Imam Al-Mahdi's birth, and shows us how many hadeeths have been untrustworthy due to the sickness of Ilm al rijal.

Special Universities For Twelver Shias
In Iran, Twelver Shias are given preferential treatment over other religions, even other Shias. They are given the country's top jobs -- no one else can even get near these jobs because of the discriminatory policies in place. As a result, the whole country suffers. Why can't Iran value its diversity instead of trying to destroy it through discrimination and repression?

Imam Mahdi Protecting Shia's from enemies.
Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Mahdī (Arabic:محمد بن الحسن المهدي) (born c. July 29, 869 (15 Sha'bān 255 AH), in Occultation since 941) is believed by Twelver Shī'a Muslims to be the Mahdī, an ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imām of the Twelve Imams. Twelver Shī'a believe that al-Mahdī was born in 869 and did not die but rather was hidden by God in 941 (this is referred to as the Occultation) and will later emerge with Isa (Jesus Christ) in order to fulfill their mission of bringing peace and justice to the world. He assumed the Imamate at 5 years of age. To support Imam Mahdi's claim, Twelver Shi'as along with some other Muslim sects quote the following Hadith: "I and `Ali are the fathers of this nation; whoever knows us very well also knows Allah, and whoever denies us also de...

The Twelver Shi'a Islam & Imamiyyah
Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the Mahdi will be the returned Twelfth Imam who disappeared and is believed by Twelvers to be in occultation. Twelvers share many tenets of Shī'ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī Shī'ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and, for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Imām. People of the Twelver faith form majorities in Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrai...

Introduction To Shia Islam
The Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة Shīʿah), or the Shiites (/ˈʃiːaɪts/), represent the second largest denomination of Islam. Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shi'a is the short form of the historic phrase Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي) meaning "followers", "faction" or "party" of Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Ali, whom the Shia believe to be Muhammad's successor in the Caliphate. Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam, and the term Shia Muslim is often taken to refer to Twelvers by default. As of 2009 Shia Muslims constituted 10-13% of the world's Muslim population and 39% of the Middle East's entire population Shi'i Islam is based on the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in had...

Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Mahdī (Arabic:محمد بن الحسن المهدي) (born c. July 29, 869 (15 Sha'bān 255 AH), in Occultation since 941) is believed by Twelver Shī'a Muslims to be the Mahdī, an ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imām of the Twelve Imams. Twelver Shī'a believe that al-Mahdī was born in 869 and did not die but rather was hidden by God in 941 (this is referred to as the Occultation) and will later emerge with Isa (Jesus Christ) in order to fulfill their mission of bringing peace and justice to the world. He assumed the Imamate at 5 years of age.
To support Imam Mahdi's claim, Twelver Shi'as along with some other Muslim sects quote the following Hadith: "I and `Ali are the fathers of this nation; whoever knows us very well also knows Allah, and whoever denies us also denies Allah, the Unique, the Mighty. And from `Ali's descendants are my grandsons al-Hasan and al-Husayn, who are the masters of the youths of Paradise, and from al-Husayn's descendants shall be nine: whoever obeys them obeys me, and whoever disobeys them also disobeys me; the ninth among them is their Qa'im and Mahdi."[10]
The eleventh Imam of the Twelve Imams Hasan al-Askari died on 1 January 874 AD (8th Rabi' al-awwal, 260 AH)[11] and since that day, his son Mahdi is believed by Shi'as to be the Imam, appointed by Allah, to lead the believers of the era. The most popular account of al-Mahdi in Shi'a literature is taken from his father's funeral. It is reported that as the funeral prayer was about to begin, al-Mahdi's uncle, Jafar ibn Ali approached to lead the prayers. However, al-Mahdi approached and commanded, "Move aside, uncle; only an Imam can lead the funeral prayer of an Imam." Jafar moved aside, and the five-year-old child led the funeral prayer for his father. It is reported that it was at this very moment that al-Mahdi disappeared and went into ghaybat, or occultation.[citation needed]

Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam....
Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the Mahdi will be the returned Twelfth Imam who disappeared and is believed by Twelvers to be in occultation.
Twelvers share many tenets of Shī'ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī Shī'ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and, for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Imām.
People of the Twelver faith form majorities in Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrain; a plurality in Lebanon; and significant minorities in Kuwait, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Smaller minorities also exist in Oman, Yemen, Egypt, and Uzbekistan.
Alevis in Turkey and Albania and Alawis in Syria share belief in the twelve Imams with Twelvers.
The Twelvers are also known by other names, each connoting some aspect of the faith:
The Shī'ah (or Shi'a) is commonly used as a synonym for "Twelvers" since this branch comprises the majority group of Shī'ī Islam.
Ja'farī refers to Twelvers to the exclusion of the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī ("Fivers"). This term refers to the majority Twelver school of jurisprudence (a minority school, the Akhbarī, also exists). It is attributed to Ja'far al-Sadiq, who the Twelvers consider to be their Sixth Imām. The founders of the Sunni Hanafi and Maliki schools of jurisprudence narrated hadith from Ja'far al-Sadiq.
Imāmī is a reference to the Twelver belief in the infallibility of the Imāms. Though the Ismā'īlī also accept the concept of Imāms, this term is used specifically for the Twelvers.
Overview
Twelvers believe that the descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his daughter Fatimah and his son-in-law 'Alī are the best source of knowledge about the Qur'an and Islam, the most trusted carriers and protectors of Muḥammad's Sunnah (traditions) and the most worthy of emulation.
In particular, Twelvers recognize the succession of 'Alī, Muḥammad's cousin, son-in-law, the male head of the Ahl al-Bayt or "people of the [Prophet's] house" and the father of Muḥammad's only bloodline, as opposed to that of the Caliphate recognized by Sunni Muslims. Twelvers also believe that 'Alī should have been successor to Muḥammad.
Although 'Alī is widely accepted by Muslims in general to be the fourth successor to the Caliphate after Uthman, for the Shī'ah, however, he is the first divinely sanctioned "Imām", or divinely appointed spiritual leader after the Prophet Muḥammad. The seminal event in Shī'ah history is the martyrdom in 680 CE of 'Alī's son Husayn, who led an uprising against the, illegitimate to them, Caliph. For the Shī'ah, Husayn came to symbolize resistance to tyranny.
Regardless of the dispute about the Caliphate, Twelvers recognize the religious authority of the Twelve Imams, also called Khalīfah Ilāhi.
The Ja'farī derive their Sharia, or religious law, from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The difference between Sunni and Shīʻa Sharia results from a Shīʻa belief that Muhammad assigned ʻAlī to be the first ruler and the leader after him (the Khalifa or steward). Moreover, according to Shīʻa, an Imam or a Caliph can not be democratically elected and has to be nominated by God. Sunnis believe that their Caliphs were popular and had greater vote so they were made caliphs. This difference resulted in the Shīʻa:
https://wn.com/The_Twelver_Shi'a_Islam_Imamiyyah
Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the Mahdi will be the returned Twelfth Imam who disappeared and is believed by Twelvers to be in occultation.
Twelvers share many tenets of Shī'ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī Shī'ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and, for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Imām.
People of the Twelver faith form majorities in Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrain; a plurality in Lebanon; and significant minorities in Kuwait, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Smaller minorities also exist in Oman, Yemen, Egypt, and Uzbekistan.
Alevis in Turkey and Albania and Alawis in Syria share belief in the twelve Imams with Twelvers.
The Twelvers are also known by other names, each connoting some aspect of the faith:
The Shī'ah (or Shi'a) is commonly used as a synonym for "Twelvers" since this branch comprises the majority group of Shī'ī Islam.
Ja'farī refers to Twelvers to the exclusion of the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī ("Fivers"). This term refers to the majority Twelver school of jurisprudence (a minority school, the Akhbarī, also exists). It is attributed to Ja'far al-Sadiq, who the Twelvers consider to be their Sixth Imām. The founders of the Sunni Hanafi and Maliki schools of jurisprudence narrated hadith from Ja'far al-Sadiq.
Imāmī is a reference to the Twelver belief in the infallibility of the Imāms. Though the Ismā'īlī also accept the concept of Imāms, this term is used specifically for the Twelvers.

The Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة Shīʿah), or the Shiites (/ˈʃiːaɪts/), represent the second largest denomination of Islam. Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shi'a is the short form of the historic phrase Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي) meaning "followers", "faction" or "party" of Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Ali, whom the Shia believe to be Muhammad's successor in the Caliphate. Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam, and the term Shia Muslim is often taken to refer to Twelvers by default. As of 2009 Shia Muslims constituted 10-13% of the world's Muslim population and 39% of the Middle East's entire population
Shi'i Islam is based on the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in hadith recorded by the Shia, and certain books deemed sacred to the Shia (Nahj al-Balagha). Shia consider Ali to have been divinely appointed as the successor to Muhammad, and as the first Imam. In the centuries after the death of Muhammad, the Shia extended this "Imami" doctrine to Muhammad's family, the Ahl al-Bayt ("the People of the House"), and certain individuals among his descendants, known as Imams, who they believe possess special spiritual and political authority over the community, infallibility, and other quasi-divine traits. Although there are myriad Shi'i subsects, modern Shi'i Islam has been divided into three main groupings: Twelvers, Ismailis and Zaidis.
The word Shia (Arabic: شيعة shīʻah /ˈʃiːʕa/) means follower and is the short form of the historic phrase shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي /ˈʃiːʕatu ˈʕaliː/), meaning "followers of Ali", "faction of Ali", or "party of Ali". Shi'a and Shiism are forms used in English, while Shi'ite or Shiite, as well as Shia, refer to its adherents.
The archaic and phonetically incorrect spelling Shaih was notably used by Winston Churchill in a discussion of the religious mixture of modern-day Iraq.
Shia Muslims believe that just as a prophet is appointed by God alone, only God has the prerogative to appoint the successor to his prophet. They believe God chose Ali to be Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam - Peace be upon him) successor, infallible, the first caliph (khalifa, head of state) of Islam. Muhammad, before his death, designated Ali as his successor.
Ali was Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) first cousin and closest living male relative as well as his son-in-law, having married Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) daughter Fatimah. Ali would eventually become the fourth Muslim (sunni) caliph.
After the last pilgrimage, Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) ordered the gathering of Muslims at the pond of Khumm and it was there that Shi'a Muslims believe Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) nominated Ali to be his successor. The hadith of the pond of Khumm was narrated on 18th of Dhu al-Hijjah of 10 AH in the Islamic calendar (10 March 632 AD) at a place called Ghadir Khumm, located near the city of al-Juhfah, Saudi Arabia. Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) there stated:
Oh people! Reflect on the Quran and comprehend its verses. Look into its clear verses and do not follow its ambiguous parts, for by Allah, none shall be able to explain to you its warnings and its mysteries, nor shall anyone clarify its interpretation, other than the one that I have grasped his hand, brought up beside myself, [and lifted his arm,] the one about whom I inform you that whomever I am his master (Mawla[a])), then Ali is his master (Mawla); and he is Ali Ibn Abi Talib, my brother, the executor of my will (Wasiyyi), whose appointment as your guardian and leader has been sent down to me from Allah, the mighty and the majestic.

The full recording of the debate between the (Usuli Twelver) Shia Muslim student of knowledge, Sayed Ali Al-Shobayri, and the "Sunni" Muslim polemicist and intellectual, of the Salafi movement, Mohammed Hijab.
Topic: Mohammed Hijab's YouTube video entitled, "The REAL Differences Between SUNNI and SHIA".
Subjects:
1. The preservation of the Holy Quran, in light of Shia and "Sunni" literature;
2. The status of the Sahaba (companions of Prophet Muhammad);
3. The concept of Imamah (divinely-appointed leadership), and what it entails - all three with utmost clarity from our side.
Date: Saturday 17th June 2017 at 6:30 PM.
Location: The meeting took place in a private and neutral venue in London, United Kingdom.
The unfortunate breach of conditions which occurred: https://youtu.be/gXebIumf-EI
(See our pinned comment for moments to look out for)
The Rafida Team are pleased to announce that we have successfully met with the Salafi polemicist, Mohammed Hijab today, in order to address his video entitled, "The REAL Differences Between SUNNI and SHIA".
Whilst our initial thinking was to refute - in an online series - the fallacious reasoning and false claims that he made, we thought it would be more appropriate to enter into a face-to-face dialogue. We invited Mohammed Hijab to privately meet with us (as opposed to a "debate" in Speakers' Corner), to which he duly accepted. The meeting enabled us to set the record straight, and despite the interruptions, we had managed to successfully refute all the baseless allegations he had levelled against Shia Islam.
Due to breached conditions, the debate was cut short on the following grounds:
- The management of the neutral venue informed local authorities (the police) about the constant disruption and aggressive behaviour caused by Mohammed Hijab's associates at the venue.
- Bringing more than five people, when it had been agreed that only five people would attend along with the debaters. The venue was to be kept confidential, but despite this, it was common knowledge to a particular group of individuals - namely Ebn Hossein and Abu Ismail Al-Farsi, even though it was agreed neither were to attend, due to their poor manners. It is noteworthy to mention that this was the case even when both sides had agreed to a neutral, disclosed location - let alone a public debate in Speakers' Corner.
- Midway through the debate, two Salafis entered attempting to intimidate the Shia attendee, asking, "Who are the Shias here?!"
- The police attended as the security of the venue were appalled with the behaviour of those individuals. The debate was brought to an end, not before Ebn Hossein and Abu Ismail Al-Farsi assaulted a Shia brother as they were leaving the venue.
It should also be noted that Hijab didn't even stick to the debate topic itself, by throwing in materials outside of the video in question.

Who Are The Alawites?
The Alawites, also known as Alawis (ʿAlawīyyah Arabic: علوية), are a prominent religious group, centred in Syria, who follow a branch of the Twelver school of Shia Islam but with syncretistic elements. Alawites revere Ali (Ali ibn Abi Talib), and the name "Alawi" means followers of Ali. The sect is believed to have been founded by Ibn Nusayr during the 9th century. For this reason, Alawites are sometimes called "Nusayris" (Nuṣayrī Arabic: نصيرية), though this term has come to have derogatory connotations in the modern era; another name, "Ansari" (al-Anṣāriyyah), is believed to be a mistransliteration of "Nusayri". Today, Alawites represent 12 percent of the Syrian population and are a significant minority in Turkey and northern Lebanon. There is also a population living in the village of...

[Documentary] Radical Islam
Jihad (English pronunciation: /dʒɪˈhɑːd/; Arabic: جهاد ǧihād [dʒiˈhæːd]), an Islamic term, is a religious duty of Muslims. In Arabic, the word jihād translates as a noun meaning "struggle". The word jihad appears in 23 Quranic verses.Within the context of the classical Islam, particularly the Shiahs beliefs, it refers to struggle against those who do not believe in the Abrahamic God (Allah). However, the word has even wider implications. Jihad means "to struggle in the way of Allah". Jihad appears 41 times in the Quran and frequently in the idiomatic expression "striving in the way of God (al-jihad fi sabil Allah)". A person engaged in jihad is called a mujahid; the plural is mujahideen. Jihad is an important religious duty for Muslims. A minority among the Sunni scholars sometimes refer...

Signs Of The Arrival Of Imam Mahdi
In Islamic eschatology, the Mahdi (Arabic: مهدي, ISO 233: mahdī "guided one") is the prophesied redeemer of Islam who will rule for five, seven, nine, or nineteen years (according to differing interpretations)[1][2] before the Day of Judgement (yawm al-qiyamah, literally, the Day of Resurrection)[3] and will rid the world of evil.[4] There is no explicit reference to the Mahdi in the Qur'an, but references to him are found in hadith (the reports and traditions of Muhammad's teachings collected after his death). According to Islamic tradition, the Mahdi's tenure will coincide with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Isa), who is to assist the Mahdi against the Masih ad-Dajjal (literally, the "false Messiah" or Antichrist).[5] Differences exist in the concept of the Mahdi between Shia Musl...

The Caliph - Part 2: Division - Featured Documentary
For almost 13 centuries, from the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 to the overthrow of the last Ottoman caliph in 1924, the Islamic world was ruled by a caliph. Translated from the Arabic ‘Khalifa’, the word ‘caliph’ means successor or deputy. The caliph was considered the successor to the Prophet Muhammad. It is a term that has, at times, been abused. In June 2014, a militant group calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (known as ISIL or ISIS) declared the establishment of a caliphate and proclaimed its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a caliph. This proclamation was rejected by the overwhelming majority of the world’s Muslims. ISIL had attempted to appropriate a title imbued with religious and political significance – and in doing so had cast a dark shadow over ...

The Way Of Jihad Documentary - Documentary Films (Official)
The Way Of Jihad Documentary - Documentary Films (Official) Jihad is an Islamic term referring to the religious obligation of Muslims to preserve the religion. In Arabic, the word jihād is a noun suggesting the act of "making every effort, applying oneself, struggling, hanging on". [1] A person taken part in jihad is called a mujahid, the plural which is mujahideen (مجاهدين). The word jihad appears often in the Quran, [2] typically in the idiomatic expression "making every effort in the way of God (al-jihad fi sabil Allah)", to refer to the act of aiming to serve the purposes of God on this planet. Muslims and scholars do not all settle on its meaning. Many viewers-- both Muslim [6] and non-Muslim [7]-- in addition to the Dictionary of Islam, [3] talk of jihad having two definitions: an i...

Twelver
Twelvers, Twelver Shī'ite or Imamiyyah (Imami Shi'a Islam) (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, pronounced [ʃiːʔe-je dævɑzdæh emɑmiː]) is the largest branch of Shī'ī (Shi'a) Islam. Adherents of Twelver Shī'ism are commonly referred to as Twelvers, which is derived from their belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imāms, and their belief that the Mahdi will be the returned Twelfth Imam who disappeared and is believed by Twelvers to be in occultation. Twelvers share many tenets of Shī'ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī Shī'ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and, for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in t...

Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam....
Twelver Shi'a Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, is the largest branch of Shi'a Islam. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the Mahdi will be the returned Twelfth Imam who disappeared and is believed by Twelvers to be in occultation.
Twelvers share many tenets of Shī'ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī Shī'ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and, for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Imām.
People of the Twelver faith form majorities in Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrain; a plurality in Lebanon; and significant minorities in Kuwait, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Smaller minorities also exist in Oman, Yemen, Egypt, and Uzbekistan.
Alevis in Turkey and Albania and Alawis in Syria share belief in the twelve Imams with Twelvers.
The Twelvers are also known by other names, each connoting some aspect of the faith:
The Shī'ah (or Shi'a) is commonly used as a synonym for "Twelvers" since this branch comprises the majority group of Shī'ī Islam.
Ja'farī refers to Twelvers to the exclusion of the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī ("Fivers"). This term refers to the majority Twelver school of jurisprudence (a minority school, the Akhbarī, also exists). It is attributed to Ja'far al-Sadiq, who the Twelvers consider to be their Sixth Imām. The founders of the Sunni Hanafi and Maliki schools of jurisprudence narrated hadith from Ja'far al-Sadiq.
Imāmī is a reference to the Twelver belief in the infallibility of the Imāms. Though the Ismā'īlī also accept the concept of Imāms, this term is used specifically for the Twelvers.
Overview
Twelvers believe that the descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his daughter Fatimah and his son-in-law 'Alī are the best source of knowledge about the Qur'an and Islam, the most trusted carriers and protectors of Muḥammad's Sunnah (traditions) and the most worthy of emulation.
In particular, Twelvers recognize the succession of 'Alī, Muḥammad's cousin, son-in-law, the male head of the Ahl al-Bayt or "people of the [Prophet's] house" and the father of Muḥammad's only bloodline, as opposed to that of the Caliphate recognized by Sunni Muslims. Twelvers also believe that 'Alī should have been successor to Muḥammad.
Although 'Alī is widely accepted by Muslims in general to be the fourth successor to the Caliphate after Uthman, for the Shī'ah, however, he is the first divinely sanctioned "Imām", or divinely appointed spiritual leader after the Prophet Muḥammad. The seminal event in Shī'ah history is the martyrdom in 680 CE of 'Alī's son Husayn, who led an uprising against the, illegitimate to them, Caliph. For the Shī'ah, Husayn came to symbolize resistance to tyranny.
Regardless of the dispute about the Caliphate, Twelvers recognize the religious authority of the Twelve Imams, also called Khalīfah Ilāhi.
The Ja'farī derive their Sharia, or religious law, from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The difference between Sunni and Shīʻa Sharia results from a Shīʻa belief that Muhammad assigned ʻAlī to be the first ruler and the leader after him (the Khalifa or steward). Moreover, according to Shīʻa, an Imam or a Caliph can not be democratically elected and has to be nominated by God. Sunnis believe that their Caliphs were popular and had greater vote so they were made caliphs. This difference resulted in the Shīʻa:

The Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة Shīʿah), or the Shiites (/ˈʃiːaɪts/), represent the second largest denomination of Islam. Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shi'a is the short form of the historic phrase Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي) meaning "followers", "faction" or "party" of Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Ali, whom the Shia believe to be Muhammad's successor in the Caliphate. Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam, and the term Shia Muslim is often taken to refer to Twelvers by default. As of 2009 Shia Muslims constituted 10-13% of the world's Muslim population and 39% of the Middle East's entire population
Shi'i Islam is based on the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in hadith recorded by the Shia, and certain books deemed sacred to the Shia (Nahj al-Balagha). Shia consider Ali to have been divinely appointed as the successor to Muhammad, and as the first Imam. In the centuries after the death of Muhammad, the Shia extended this "Imami" doctrine to Muhammad's family, the Ahl al-Bayt ("the People of the House"), and certain individuals among his descendants, known as Imams, who they believe possess special spiritual and political authority over the community, infallibility, and other quasi-divine traits. Although there are myriad Shi'i subsects, modern Shi'i Islam has been divided into three main groupings: Twelvers, Ismailis and Zaidis.
The word Shia (Arabic: شيعة shīʻah /ˈʃiːʕa/) means follower and is the short form of the historic phrase shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي /ˈʃiːʕatu ˈʕaliː/), meaning "followers of Ali", "faction of Ali", or "party of Ali". Shi'a and Shiism are forms used in English, while Shi'ite or Shiite, as well as Shia, refer to its adherents.
The archaic and phonetically incorrect spelling Shaih was notably used by Winston Churchill in a discussion of the religious mixture of modern-day Iraq.
Shia Muslims believe that just as a prophet is appointed by God alone, only God has the prerogative to appoint the successor to his prophet. They believe God chose Ali to be Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam - Peace be upon him) successor, infallible, the first caliph (khalifa, head of state) of Islam. Muhammad, before his death, designated Ali as his successor.
Ali was Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) first cousin and closest living male relative as well as his son-in-law, having married Muhammad's (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) daughter Fatimah. Ali would eventually become the fourth Muslim (sunni) caliph.
After the last pilgrimage, Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) ordered the gathering of Muslims at the pond of Khumm and it was there that Shi'a Muslims believe Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) nominated Ali to be his successor. The hadith of the pond of Khumm was narrated on 18th of Dhu al-Hijjah of 10 AH in the Islamic calendar (10 March 632 AD) at a place called Ghadir Khumm, located near the city of al-Juhfah, Saudi Arabia. Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassallam) there stated:
Oh people! Reflect on the Quran and comprehend its verses. Look into its clear verses and do not follow its ambiguous parts, for by Allah, none shall be able to explain to you its warnings and its mysteries, nor shall anyone clarify its interpretation, other than the one that I have grasped his hand, brought up beside myself, [and lifted his arm,] the one about whom I inform you that whomever I am his master (Mawla[a])), then Ali is his master (Mawla); and he is Ali Ibn Abi Talib, my brother, the executor of my will (Wasiyyi), whose appointment as your guardian and leader has been sent down to me from Allah, the mighty and the majestic.

Dr Steve Morrison and Larry Wessels of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater (YOUTUBE channel page CANSWERSTV: http://www.youtube.com/user/CAnswersTV?feature=mheesee; websites: http://www.MUSLIMHOPE.COM, http://www.BIBLEQUERY.ORG, & http://www.HISTORYCART.COM) host this series of shows. Islam is not a monolithic religion and consists of differing belief systems. Another sect of Islam is known as the 'Alawites (also known as Nusayris). Their religious beliefs differ greatly from those of the Sunnis and the Shi'ites and therefore they are considered outside of the Islamic faith by many within Islam. As a result of this they have been persecuted and have been considered wild outlaws. Two of their very distinctive beliefs are that they believe in a "battery-powered electric messiah" and that there is a "Trinity" but not as Christians would believe but this 'Alawite supreme manifestation of the "Trinity" is Muhammed, 'Ali, and Salman al-Faris. Millions hold to 'Alawite beliefs and their religion controls the nation of Syria today.
The Origin of the Alawites is in dispute. According to some sources they were originally Nusayri, a sect that broke ties with Twelver Shiites in the 9th century. The Alawites trace their origins to the eleventh Shia Imam, Hasan al Askari (d.873), and his pupil Ibn Nusayr (d.868). Nusayr proclaimed himself the "bab" or door (representative) of the 11th Imam. The sect seems to have been organised by a follower of Ibn Nusayr's known as al-Khasibi who died in Aleppo in about 969. Al-Khasibi's grandson al-Tabarani moved to Latakia on the Syrian coast. There he refined the Nusayri religion and, with his pupils, converted much of the local population. Today Alawites exist as a minority, but politically powerful, religious sect in Syria.
Theologically, Alawites today claim to be Twelver Shiites, but traditionally they have been designated as "extremists -- ghulat" and outside the bounds of Islam by the Muslim mainstream for their deification of Ali ibn Abi Talib or Ali. Only one holy book of the Alawites, Kitab al Majmu`, has been translated into French and printed. This was done in Beirut in the mid-nineteenth century by an Alawite convert to Christianity, who was later killed by a fellow Alawite for his treachery. The Alawite religion has many similarities to Isma'ilism. Like Ismaili Shi`as, Alawis believe in a system of divine incarnation as well as an esoteric reading of the Quran. Unlike Ismailis, Alawis regard Ali as the incarnation of the deity in the divine triad. As such, Ali is the "Meaning;" Muhammad, whom Ali created of his own light, is the "Name;" and Salman the Persian is the "Gate." Alawi catechism is expressed in the formula: "I turn to the Gate; I bow before the Name; I adore the Meaning." An Alawi prays in a manner patterned after the shahada: "I testify that there is no God but Ali." But he also must declare that he is a Muslim. Alawites believe that they are the true and best Muslims.
The Alawite religion is secret and Alawites do not accept converts or the publication of their sacred texts. The vast majority of Alawites know precious little about the contents of their sacred texts or theology which is jealously guarded by a small class of male initiates. At the age of 15 or 16 all Alawite men are given a few hours of initiation classes, but from then on, it is up to them to decide whether they want to become students of the religion, attach themselves to a Shaykh, and begin the lengthy initiation process and course of study in the religion.
'Alawites are an offshoot of Shi'ites. Some other Muslims, particularly in Syria and Lebanon, accept them as Muslims, but others consider themheretics (ghali) and outside of Islam. 'Alawites have seven pillars of Islam, including Jihad and devotion to 'Ali,who is divine. 'Alawites believe in drinking wine, and they have something similar to a communion service.
Tens of thousands of 'Alawites have been killed by other Muslims, but today 'Alawites are in control in the country of Syria.
Secrecy: ‘Alawites have tried to keep their inner teaching and rituals secret, somewhat like the masons or Mormons. One of their rituals is a communion, including drinking wine. Like Catholics, they believe that the wine is transubstantiated into deity, Allah.
The Five Pillars of Islam: the creed, prayer, alms, pilgrimage, fasting during Ramadan, are believed only as symbols and there is no need to practice them. They have two other pillars:
Jihad, or holy struggle/war, was also considered the sixth pillar by the Kharijites.
Worship of ‘Ali, (called Waliya), is the seventh pillar. This involves not only devotion to ‘Ali, but also struggle against ‘Ali’s enemies.

Theologically, Alawites today claim to be Twelver Shiites, but traditionally they have been designated as "extremists -- ghulat" and outside the bounds of Islam by the Muslim mainstream for their deification of Ali ibn Abi Talib or Ali. Only one holy book of the Alawites, Kitab al Majmu`, has been translated into French and printed. This was done in Beirut in the mid-nineteenth century by an Alawite convert to Christianity, who was later killed by a fellow Alawite for his treachery. The Alawite religion has many similarities to Isma'ilism. Like Ismaili Shi`as, Alawis believe in a system of divine incarnation as well as an esoteric reading of the Quran. Unlike Ismailis, Alawis regard Ali as the incarnation of the deity in the divine triad. As such, Ali is the "Meaning;" Muhammad, whom Ali created of his own light, is the "Name;" and Salman the Persian is the "Gate." Alawi catechism is expressed in the formula: "I turn to the Gate; I bow before the Name; I adore the Meaning." An Alawi prays in a manner patterned after the shahada: "I testify that there is no God but Ali." But he also must declare that he is a Muslim. Alawites believe that they are the true and best Muslims.
The Alawite religion is secret and Alawites do not accept converts or the publication of their sacred texts. The vast majority of Alawites know precious little about the contents of their sacred texts or theology which is jealously guarded by a small class of male initiates. At the age of 15 or 16 all Alawite men are given a few hours of initiation classes, but from then on, it is up to them to decide whether they want to become students of the religion, attach themselves to a Shaykh, and begin the lengthy initiation process and course of study in the religion.
'Alawites are an offshoot of Shi'ites. Some other Muslims, particularly in Syria and Lebanon, accept them as Muslims, but others consider themheretics (ghali) and outside of Islam. 'Alawites have seven pillars of Islam, including Jihad and devotion to 'Ali,who is divine. 'Alawites believe in drinking wine, and they have something similar to a communion service.
Tens of thousands of 'Alawites have been killed by other Muslims, but today 'Alawites are in control in the country of Syria.
Secrecy: ‘Alawites have tried to keep their inner teaching and rituals secret, somewhat like the masons or Mormons. One of their rituals is a communion, including drinking wine. Like Catholics, they believe that the wine is transubstantiated into deity, Allah.
The Five Pillars of Islam: the creed, prayer, alms, pilgrimage, fasting during Ramadan, are believed only as symbols and there is no need to practice them. They have two other pillars:
Jihad, or holy struggle/war, was also considered the sixth pillar by the Kharijites.
Worship of ‘Ali, (called Waliya), is the seventh pillar. This involves not only devotion to ‘Ali, but also struggle against ‘Ali’s enemies.

Kingdom of Hearts (Shiite Imam Shrine in Iran hosts millions of pilgrims)
The city of Mashhad serves as the spiritual capital of Iran. This city owes its significance to Imam Reza’s shrine which is the burial site of Ali Ibn Musa al-Ridha, the seventh descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the eighth imam in the Twelver Shi’i tradition.
Imam Reza’s Shrine complex, which is the largest mosque in the world by dimension and the second largest by capacity, is located at the heart of the city. The shrine attracts almost 30 million pilgrims from around the world every year. And to facilitate the visitors and run the complex there are countless devoted volunteers from all walks of life. In this exclusive Press TV documentary, we will visit the holy shrine in Mashhad and meet some of the people who have dedicated their lives to serve there.

The Alawites, also known as Alawis (ʿAlawīyyah Arabic: علوية), are a prominent religious group, centred in Syria, who follow a branch of the Twelver school of Shia Islam but with syncretistic elements. Alawites revere Ali (Ali ibn Abi Talib), and the name "Alawi" means followers of Ali. The sect is believed to have been founded by Ibn Nusayr during the 9th century. For this reason, Alawites are sometimes called "Nusayris" (Nuṣayrī Arabic: نصيرية), though this term has come to have derogatory connotations in the modern era; another name, "Ansari" (al-Anṣāriyyah), is believed to be a mistransliteration of "Nusayri". Today, Alawites represent 12 percent of the Syrian population and are a significant minority in Turkey and northern Lebanon. There is also a population living in the village of Ghajar in the occupied Golan Heights. They are often confused with the Alevis of Turkey, another Shia sect. Alawites form the dominant religious group on the Syrian coast and towns near the coast which are also inhabited by Sunnis, Christians, and Ismailis.
Alawites have historically kept their beliefs secret from outsiders and non-initiated Alawites, so rumours about them have arisen. Arabic accounts of their beliefs tend to be partisan (either positively or negatively). However, since the early 2000s, Western scholarship on the Alawite religion has made significant advances. At the core of Alawite belief is a divine triad, comprising three aspects of the one God. These aspects or emanations appear cyclically in human form throughout history. The last emanations of the divine triad, according to Alawite belief, were as Ali, Muhammad and Salman the Persian. Alawites were historically persecuted for these beliefs by the Sunni Muslim rulers of the area.
The establishment of the French Mandate of Syria marked a turning point in Alawi history. It gave the French the power to recruit Syrian civilians into their armed forces for an indefinite period and created exclusive areas for minorities, including an Alawite State. The Alawite State was later dismantled, but the Alawites continued to be a significant part of the Syrian army. Since Hafez al-Assad took power in 1970, the government has been dominated by a political elite led by the Alawite Al-Assad family. During the Islamic uprising in Syria in the 1970s and 1980s the establishment came under pressure, and the conflict continues as part of the Syrian civil war.
The Alawites take their name from Ali ibn Abi Talib, cousin, son-in-law and first male follower of Muhammad] who is considered by Shia Muslims the first Shia Imam and the fourth Rashidun (Rightly-Guided Caliph) by Sunni Muslims. French occupying forces used the term Alaouites, a transliteration into French.
In older sources, Alawis are often called Ansaris. According to Samuel Lyde, who lived among the Alawites during the mid-19th century, this was a term they used among themselves. Other sources indicate that "Ansari" is simply a Western error in the transliteration of "Nosairi". However, the term "Nusayri" had fallen out of currency by the 1920s, as a movement led by intellectuals within the community during the French Mandate sought to replace it with the modern term "Alawi". They characterised the older name (which implied "a separate ethnic and religious identity") as an "invention of the sect's enemies", ostensibly favouring an emphasis on "connection with mainstream Islam"—particularly the Shia branch. As such, "Nusayri" is now generally regarded as antiquated, and has even come to have insulting and abusive connotations. The term is frequently employed as hate speech by Sunni fundamentalists fighting against Bashar al-Assad's government in the Syrian civil war, who use its emphasis on Ibn Nusayr in order to insinuate that Alawi beliefs are "man-made" and not divinely inspired. Recent research has shown that the Alawi appellation was used by the sect’s adherents since the 11th century. The following quote from Alkan (2012) illustrates this point: “In actual fact, the name ‘Alawī’ appears as early as in an 11 th-century Nuṣayrī tract (…). Moreover, the term ‘Alawī’ was already used at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1903 the Belgian-born Jesuit and Orientalist Henri Lammens (d. 1937) visited a certain Ḥaydarī-Nuṣayrī sheikh Abdullah in a village near Antakya and mentions that the latter preferred the name ‘Alawī’ for his people. Lastly, it is interesting to note that in the above-mentioned petitions of 1892 and 1909 the Nuṣayrīs called themselves the ‘Arab Alawī people’ (ʿArab ʿAlevī ṭāʾifesi) 'our ʿAlawī Nuṣayrī people’ (ṭāʾifatunā al-Nuṣayriyya al-ʿAlawiyya) or ‘signed with Alawī people’ (ʿAlevī ṭāʾifesi imżāsıyla). This early self-designation is, in my opinion, of triple importance.

Jihad (English pronunciation: /dʒɪˈhɑːd/; Arabic: جهاد ǧihād [dʒiˈhæːd]), an Islamic term, is a religious duty of Muslims. In Arabic, the word jihād translates as a noun meaning "struggle". The word jihad appears in 23 Quranic verses.Within the context of the classical Islam, particularly the Shiahs beliefs, it refers to struggle against those who do not believe in the Abrahamic God (Allah). However, the word has even wider implications.
Jihad means "to struggle in the way of Allah". Jihad appears 41 times in the Quran and frequently in the idiomatic expression "striving in the way of God (al-jihad fi sabil Allah)". A person engaged in jihad is called a mujahid; the plural is mujahideen. Jihad is an important religious duty for Muslims. A minority among the Sunni scholars sometimes refer to this duty as the sixth pillar of Islam, though it occupies no such official status.In Twelver Shi'a Islam, however, Jihad is one of the 10 Practices of the Religion. Ahmadi Muslims consider only defensive jihad to be permissible while rejecting offensive jihad.
There are two commonly accepted meanings of jihad: an inner spiritual struggle and an outer physical struggle. The "greater jihad" is the inner struggle by a believer to fulfill his religious duties. This non-violent meaning is stressed by both Muslim and non-Muslim authors. However, there is consensus amongst Islamic scholars that the concept of jihad will always include armed struggle against persecution and oppression.

The full recording of the debate between the (Usuli Twelver) Shia Muslim student of knowledge, Sayed Ali Al-Shobayri, and the "Sunni" Muslim polemicist and intellectual, of the Salafi movement, Mohammed Hijab.
Topic: Mohammed Hijab's YouTube video entitled, "The REAL Differences Between SUNNI and SHIA".
Subjects:
1. The preservation of the Holy Quran, in light of Shia and "Sunni" literature;
2. The status of the Sahaba (companions of Prophet Muhammad);
3. The concept of Imamah (divinely-appointed leadership), and what it entails - all three with utmost clarity from our side.
Date: Saturday 17th June 2017 at 6:30 PM.
Location: The meeting took place in a private and neutral venue in London, United Kingdom.
The unfortunate breach of conditions which occurred: https://youtu.be/gXebIumf-EI
(See our pinned comment for moments to look out for)
The Rafida Team are pleased to announce that we have successfully met with the Salafi polemicist, Mohammed Hijab today, in order to address his video entitled, "The REAL Differences Between SUNNI and SHIA".
Whilst our initial thinking was to refute - in an online series - the fallacious reasoning and false claims that he made, we thought it would be more appropriate to enter into a face-to-face dialogue. We invited Mohammed Hijab to privately meet with us (as opposed to a "debate" in Speakers' Corner), to which he duly accepted. The meeting enabled us to set the record straight, and despite the interruptions, we had managed to successfully refute all the baseless allegations he had levelled against Shia Islam.
Due to breached conditions, the debate was cut short on the following grounds:
- The management of the neutral venue informed local authorities (the police) about the constant disruption and aggressive behaviour caused by Mohammed Hijab's associates at the venue.
- Bringing more than five people, when it had been agreed that only five people would attend along with the debaters. The venue was to be kept confidential, but despite this, it was common knowledge to a particular group of individuals - namely Ebn Hossein and Abu Ismail Al-Farsi, even though it was agreed neither were to attend, due to their poor manners. It is noteworthy to mention that this was the case even when both sides had agreed to a neutral, disclosed location - let alone a public debate in Speakers' Corner.
- Midway through the debate, two Salafis entered attempting to intimidate the Shia attendee, asking, "Who are the Shias here?!"
- The police attended as the security of the venue were appalled with the behaviour of those individuals. The debate was brought to an end, not before Ebn Hossein and Abu Ismail Al-Farsi assaulted a Shia brother as they were leaving the venue.
It should also be noted that Hijab didn't even stick to the debate topic itself, by throwing in materials outside of the video in question.

In Islamic eschatology, the Mahdi (Arabic: مهدي, ISO 233: mahdī "guided one") is the prophesied redeemer of Islam who will rule for five, seven, nine, or nineteen years (according to differing interpretations)[1][2] before the Day of Judgement (yawm al-qiyamah, literally, the Day of Resurrection)[3] and will rid the world of evil.[4]
There is no explicit reference to the Mahdi in the Qur'an, but references to him are found in hadith (the reports and traditions of Muhammad's teachings collected after his death). According to Islamic tradition, the Mahdi's tenure will coincide with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Isa), who is to assist the Mahdi against the Masih ad-Dajjal (literally, the "false Messiah" or Antichrist).[5] Differences exist in the concept of the Mahdi between Shia Muslims and adherents of the Sunni tradition. For Sunnis, the Mahdi is the Muslims' future leader who is yet to come. For most Shia Muslims, the Mahdi was born but disappeared and will remain hidden from humanity until he reappears to bring justice to the world, a doctrine known as the Occultation.
The Sunnis view the Mahdi as the follower of Muhammad and a leader of the Muslims, but, unlike most Shia Muslims, do not believe the Mahdi has already been born.[12] The Mahdi is expected to arrive to rule the world and to reestablish righteousness.[7]
Sunnis in general do not consider expansive genealogies for canonical traces of the Mahdi, do not believe he has yet been born, and reject the Twelver Shi'ite principle of the Mahdi's occultation. Sunnis do, however, rely heavily on traditionally canonical collections of narrations for derivations of the Mahdi's attributes and lineage. According to Sunan Abi Dawud, one of the six canonical books of Hadith in Sunni Islam, narrated by Umm Salamah, "The Prophet said: The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatimah." [13]

For most Shia Muslims, the Mahdi was born but disappeared and will remain hidden from humanity until he reappears to bring justice to the world, a doctrine known as the Occultation.
The Sunnis view the Mahdi as the follower of Muhammad and a leader of the Muslims, but, unlike most Shia Muslims, do not believe the Mahdi has already been born.[12] The Mahdi is expected to arrive to rule the world and to reestablish righteousness.[7]
Sunnis in general do not consider expansive genealogies for canonical traces of the Mahdi, do not believe he has yet been born, and reject the Twelver Shi'ite principle of the Mahdi's occultation. Sunnis do, however, rely heavily on traditionally canonical collections of narrations for derivations of the Mahdi's attributes and lineage. According to Sunan Abi Dawud, one of the six canonical books of Hadith in Sunni Islam, narrated by Umm Salamah, "The Prophet said: The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatimah." [13]

For almost 13 centuries, from the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 to the overthrow of the last Ottoman caliph in 1924, the Islamic world was ruled by a caliph.
Translated from the Arabic ‘Khalifa’, the word ‘caliph’ means successor or deputy.
The caliph was considered the successor to the Prophet Muhammad.
It is a term that has, at times, been abused.
In June 2014, a militant group calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (known as ISIL or ISIS) declared the establishment of a caliphate and proclaimed its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a caliph. This proclamation was rejected by the overwhelming majority of the world’s Muslims.
ISIL had attempted to appropriate a title imbued with religious and political significance – and in doing so had cast a dark shadow over a rich history.
This is the story of the caliph, a title that originated 1,400 years ago and that spanned one of the greatest empires the world has ever known.
In this episode of The Caliph, Al Jazeera tells the story of the caliphate, looking at the Sunni-Shia divide, and how this split arose from a dispute over who should succeed the Prophet Muhammad.

Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd
Muwahhideen Publications organized a LIVE Tele-Lecture with the Noble Shaykh Muhammad ibn Rabee' ibn Hadi' al-Madkhalee (May Allaah Preserve Him), son of Ash-Shaykh al-Allaamah Rabee' ibn Hadi al-Madkhalee (May Allaah Preserve Him) and a professor of 'Aqeedah in The Islaamic University of Madeenah. This lecture event was on Tuesday 8th January, 2013 and was broadcast LIVE in three Masaajid in Trinidad & Tobago and six Masaajid in the U.S. Masjid Al-Bukhaari, Florida, Masjid Ibn 'Abbas, Georgia, Masjid Uthaymeen, New Jersey, Masjid Nur Allaah, New York, Masjid as-Sahabah, Ohio and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan.
This session was translated LIVE into English.
Our Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Rabee' (hafidhahullaah) began by saying that truly the shi'a have been a tribulation and test from Allaah upon the Ummah; it has been a calamity that befell this Ummah and surely this is the way of Allaah, that He tests His slaves. For this dunya is a life of fitan, assessing the mettle of the servants of Allaah; it is an abode where good and evil mingle, contrary to the aakhirah which is the life of exclusive truth where evil does not mix with the good.
Shaykh Muhammad then went on to describe the history of this deviant group and how they came about. He explained the atmosphere after the murder of 'Uthmaan (radhiyAllaahu 'anhu) and the two positions held by the Sahabah concerning how the issue should be dealt with. He explained the role of the hypocrites in this fitnah and then went on to shed some light on the character of 'Abdullaah Ibn Saba' and the falsehood and shirk he injected into the pure Islaamic Creed from within. From them is his belief that 'Ali (radhiyAllaahu 'anhu) had more right to the khilaafah than Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthmaan (radiyAllaahu 'anhum). He then went a step further and declared 'Ali (radhiyAllaahu 'anhu) to be the embodiment of Allaah and exalted be Allaah above the falsehood that he claimed.
Our Shaykh proceeded to explain that there is a group of shi'a who believed that 'Ali (radhiyAllaahu 'anhu) was the best of the companions. However, they did not see the first three khulafaa as evil men but believed in their virtue, loved them for the sake of Allaah and even prayed for them. This group is the smallest and for the most part no longer existent.
Now, the matter has changed and they base allegiance and enmity on a person's stance on Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthmaan (radhiyAlllahu 'anhum); they make it obligatory to hate them and render them enemies of Allaah and if one refuses to do such they claim that this individual is misguided or might even make takfir on him.
The Shaykh then went on to say that the shi'a fall into two groups -- the twelvers and the zaydiyyah and between these two are vast differences in understanding and creed. The twelvers epitomize misguidance of the greatest magnitude; their beliefs are deeply rooted in shirk and even the affair of racism has entered upon them as they believe in the virtue of the Persian lineage.
Shaykh Muhammad (hafidhahullaah) continued by enlightening us about the linguistic meanings for the terms 'shi'a' and 'raafidhah' and explained the story behind them being referred to as the raafidhah.
He then proceeded to touch on their beliefs regarding the twelve Imaams whom they deify and deem to be infallible. Here the Shaykh listed the twelve Imaams and then explained that as for the twelfth Imaam, whom they claim has been alive for over 1200 years has never existed historically as his father, Hasan, never bore any children!
Our Shaykh further delved into some of their atrocious beliefs such as the deifying of Ahlul Bayt and their calling upon them in times of ease and hardship as well as their disgusting notion that the Qur'aan has been tampered with, is missing two thirds and the complete Qur'aan which they refer to as the version of Faatimah will only come in the time of the Mahdi. The consensus of the people of Islaam is that this is clear kufr.
Shaykh Muhammad (hafidhahullaah) concluded this sitting by saying that the danger and enmity of the shi'a is more severe than that of the jews and christians as acquisition of our wealth and land will please them (the jews and christians) but these shi'a have great resolve to spread their creed and would settle for nothing less than to drink our blood and ensure that no one from Ahlus Sunnah remains on the face of the earth. They sleep and awake upon their devilish schemes and plots.
This lecture is a must listen for the seeker of truth who wishes to acquaint himself/herself with the falsehood of the shi'a so that he/she may be wary of them as they seek to spread their repugnant beliefs.

The Way Of Jihad Documentary - Documentary Films (Official)
Jihad is an Islamic term referring to the religious obligation of Muslims to preserve the religion. In Arabic, the word jihād is a noun suggesting the act of "making every effort, applying oneself, struggling, hanging on". [1] A person taken part in jihad is called a mujahid, the plural which is mujahideen (مجاهدين). The word jihad appears often in the Quran, [2] typically in the idiomatic expression "making every effort in the way of God (al-jihad fi sabil Allah)", to refer to the act of aiming to serve the purposes of God on this planet.
Muslims and scholars do not all settle on its meaning. Many viewers-- both Muslim [6] and non-Muslim [7]-- in addition to the Dictionary of Islam, [3] talk of jihad having two definitions: an inner spiritual struggle (the "better jihad"), and an outer physical struggle against the enemies of Islam (the "lesser jihad") [3] [8] which may take a terrible or non-violent type. [1] [9] Jihad is commonly translated as "Holy War", [10] [11] [12] although this term is questionable. [13] [14] Baseding on orientalist Bernard Lewis, "the overwhelming majority of timeless theologians, jurists", and also experts in the hadith "comprehended the obligation of jihad in an army feeling." [15] Javed Ahmad Ghamidi states that there is consensus among Islamic historians that the idea of jihad will constantly consist of armed struggle versus wrong doers. [16]
It was generally meant that the order for a basic war could just be given by the Caliph (a workplace that was declared by the Ottoman sultans), but Muslims who did not recognize the spiritual authority of the Caliphate (which has been vacant because 1923)-- such as non-Sunnis as well as non-Ottoman Muslim states-- constantly aimed to their own leaders for the announcement of a jihad. There has been in truth no global warfare by Muslims on non-believers because the early caliphate. Some announced jihad by claiming themselves as mahdi, e.g. the Sudanese Mahommed Ahmad in 1882. [17] In classic Islam, the army form of jihad was also controlled to protect private citizens.
Jihad is a crucial spiritual duty for Muslims. A minority amongst the Sunni historians sometimes refer to this obligation as the sixth column of Islam, though it occupies no such main condition. In Twelver Shi'a Islam, nonetheless, jihad is among the ten Practices of the Faith.
The method of routine raids by Bedouin versus enemy people as well as settlements to gather spoils predates the revelations of the Quran. According to some historians (such as James Turner Johnson), while Islamic leaders "instilled into the hearts of the warriors the belief" in jihad "holy war" and ghaza (raids), the "fundamental structure" of this bedouin warfare "continued to be, ... raiding to gather booty". [33] Baseding on an additional historian (Majid Khadduri), it was the shift in focus to the conquest and spoils accumulating of non-Bedouin skeptics and also away from typical inter-bedouin tribal raids, that might have made it possible for Islam not just to broaden yet to stay clear of self-destruction.

Twelvers, Twelver Shī'ite or Imamiyyah (Imami Shi'a Islam) (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازدهامامی, pronounced [ʃiːʔe-je dævɑzdæh emɑmiː]) is the largest branch of Shī'ī (Shi'a) Islam. Adherents of Twelver Shī'ism are commonly referred to as Twelvers, which is derived from their belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imāms, and their belief that the Mahdi will be the returned Twelfth Imam who disappeared and is believed by Twelvers to be in occultation.
Twelvers share many tenets of Shī'ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā'īlī and Zaydī Shī'ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and, for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Imām.

A rare footage of Grand Ayatullah Sayyed Al-Khoei (ra) at his house receiving scholars and guests. Personalities in the video include: Sayed Abulqasim Al-Khoei, Sayed Ali Al-Beheshti, Sayed Murtadha Al-Khalkhali, Sheikh Murtadha Al-Boroujerdi, Sheikh Muhammed Ishaq Al-Fayyadh, Sayed Saleh Al-Khirsan, Sayed Muhammed Ali Al-Shirazi, Sayed Ibrahim Al-Shirazi, Sheikh Fakhruddeen Al-Zanjani, Sayed Muhammed Taghi Al-Khoei, Sayed Abdul Majid Al-Khoei, Sayed Ibrahim Al-Khoei, Sheikh Ja'far Al-Na'ini, Sheikh Muslim Al-Dawari, Sayed Murtadha Al-Nakhjawani, Sayed Abdul Hussain Al-Qazwini, Sayed Mohsen Al-Khalkhali, Sayed Muhammed Ali Al-Naji, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Kadhimi, Sheikh Muhammed Taghi Al-Mouseli.
Grand Ayatullah Sayed Abulqasim Al-Khoei (November 19, 1899 -- August 8, 1992) was one of the most influential Twelver Shi'a Islamic scholars (marja).
Due to his prominent position as a teacher and scholar in Najaf, he became an important leader of worldwide Shias. He was made the most prominent Grand Ayatullah in 1971 after the death of Ayatullah Sayed Mohsen Al-Hakim. In this position, he became a patron of numerous institutions across the globe that sought to provide welfare, and also provided scholarships to theological students from across the Muslim world.
He is considered as the architect of a distinct school of thought in the principles of jurisprudence and Islamic law, and one of the leading exponents of 'kalam'-scholastic theology- and 'rijal'- study of the biographies of transmitters of ahadith, the prophetic traditions, 'fiqh'- jurisprudence- and 'tafseer'- exegesis of the Qur'an. His interests included astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy.
After the 1991 uprising in Iraq, Al-Khoei was arrested by Saddam Hussein during the mass Shia uprising that followed the defeat of Iraqi forces. While under arrest, he was taken to Baghdad and forced to make public appearances with Saddam Hussein. Hussein eventually allowed Al-Khoei to return to Najaf, but he was placed under house arrest, and died in 1992 (1413 AH).
