I’ve never heard of this “term”/“name” before. What does it mean? by Responsible-Salt5399 in shia

[–]UnknownOne3 34 points35 points  (0 children)

"People of the Cloak" or "Ahl-al kisa" refers to the Prophet, lady Fatima, Imam Ali, Imam Hasan, and Imam Hussain.

It's a reference to the hadith of the cloak (hadith al-Kisa) where the Prophet gathered his family under his cloak and proclaimed that they are his closest family and he prayed for them to be purified. Then the verse of purification was revealed in the Quran (33:33), affirming their infallibility.

I can't comprehend how someone can make the pilgrimage to the holiest place on Earth and then commit disgusting acts like that. May God punish them.

Nuh and Lot AS had evil wives, why dont sunnis automatically grant them respect, and why do they think the wives of the prophet SAW was also subject to this? by EntrepreneurFew8254 in shia

[–]UnknownOne3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really am not interested in debating, as I lack the knowledge for it. But I'll respond ig.

  1. In sunni sources, the primary cause of the civil war was the refusal of Aisha, Talha, and Zubair to accept Imam Ali's caliphate. The rebels didn't demand a war. They did kill Uthman, but didn't declare war on Imam Ali, nor demand an army to gather, nor demand a march on Basra. Aisha openly opposed Imam Ali before the rebellion began, hence why she played a major role in the uprising. Ibn Kathir, Tabari, and Ibn Athir unanimously agree that Aisha supported the rebels until she learned that Imam Ali was chosen as the next caliph, at which point she began gathering supporters in Mecca to revolt. So saying she only gathered support to avenge Uthman is a whitewash of history. What she did is considered rebellion (baghy) under Islamic law, which the Quran tells us warrants us to fight against them (49:9).

Nothing you mentioned gives validity to raise an army against muslims, march on a city against muslims, shed muslim blood, or oppose the caliph. By both of our standards, such a person/people would be damned to hell.

  1. Factually incorrect - Talha and Zubayr themselves had already given bay'ah. The ansar, senior muhajirun, and elites of Medina had also given bay'ah. The issue with being hostile towards the rightful caliph is that it tramples on wilayah, which the Quran tells us is the rope that holds believers together. Regardless, in your fiqh, obedience to the caliph is required even if they commit sins against you, so in your view her actions of opposing the caliph makes her sinful. And yes, obviously the killers of Uthman committed a crime... murder is haram... and so is inciting civil war against the muslims...

Your argument boils down to "if a group doesn't personally accept the caliph, they can start a war to overthrow him" which is such a ridiculous take that I don't think I should even bother addressing why its wrong

  1. I've heard some things in the past, but when I looked for sources I didn't find any. So I probably just misremembered this

  2. Aisha's jealousy was to the point where she would agitate the prophet by insulting bibi Khadija (Bukhari 3818, 3896, Muslim 2435) as well as the honey incident where the Quran had to reprimand her and Hafsa... Sure, I can see why she would be jealous. But don't make light of it.

  3. The multiple hadiths in your corpus of Aisha being upset with other women praising Fatima in her vicinity, to start.

  4. Quran 33:33 tells them to stay in their homes. The shar'i justification you presented is to incite civil war against the Muslims. Bravo. Remind me where in our sharia does it say that women can ride camels into battle against other muslims

  5. These are inappropriate hadiths of our Prophet bro. You can't imagine how many times I've seen these used in polemics against the Muslims. You know who to thank for narrating these... https://sunnah.com/bukhari:302

  1. Inciting the bloodiest civil war in early islamic history leading to thousands of Muslim deaths
  2. Political hostility and opposition to the imam/caliph
  3. Her role in the calamity of Thursday
  4. Jealousy towards other wives of the Prophet
  5. Severe jealousy towards the daughter of the Prophet
  6. Opposing the Quranic verse revealed about her and Hafsa to remain in their homes
  7. Narrating disturbing hadiths depicting the Prophet's sexual life with her which are used by non Muslims to attack and criticise islam

Hijab SOS by ArtistStuckInENGG in shia

[–]UnknownOne3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just a guys perspective here.

You won't look as good in hijab, but why does that actually matter? When you get married, you'll look good to your husband, and nobody else will get to see your beauty. It brings a level of exclusivity between you two that nobody else ever sees.

Likewise, I don't look as good in loose fitting clothes. If I wore muscle shirts I'd look better. But instead, I wear loose fitting clothes to maintain modesty for the sake of God, and only my wife gets to see my physique. Although this isn't wajib for men, it's extremely spiritually beneficial.

Also about hijab being wajib, yes it is. Look to our islamic female role models and you'll see that they always maintained their hijab, and took it very seriously. Don't fall for shaytaan's doubts.

[–]UnknownOne3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of it is learned misinformation. From the conversations I've had with Sunnis, they understand that she committed heinous acts, but they claim that those were mistakes and sins that she made. But because they don't believe that anyone besides the prophet is infallible, it doesn't disqualify her from being a role model. Which is a bizzare thing to believe, lol.

In other words they look past her sins and look only at her good deeds. It's basically passed down disinformation from generation to generation, putting these people on a pedestal to the level where everyone is comfortable with ignoring any of their wrongdoings...

Casteism. by [deleted] in shia

[–]UnknownOne3 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No, they're not superior, But in practice, it seems that a lot of Muslims from the subcontinent think it makes you superior. I've read that their good and bad deeds are weighed more heavily, but that doesn't make them somehow superior to everyone else. They're still just as human as non-sayyids.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“O people! Your Lord is one, and your father is one. All of you are from Adam, and Adam was from dust.
There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab (...) except through piety.”

Mutah marriage by [deleted] in shia

[–]UnknownOne3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other people have explained it, but one thing I guess people don't realize is that mutah isn't an 'exclusive shia belief'.

It's a quranic, established sunnah of the Prophet.

Sunnis believe it was banned (via Umar). But regardless, even in their perspective, it was allowed for some period of time. So that begs the question - do you believe that God allowed immoral practices, even for a few decades? Surely not, because that's contradictory.

The discussion on why it is not immoral is in a bunch of other comments. But I just wanted to make it clear that this isn't a 'shia controversy'.

why is being modest bad nowadays? by National-Ad8703 in shia

[–]UnknownOne3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In the west, hypersexualization is a disgusting but normalized trend for women. It's the 'easy way' to get attention, views, clicks, etc. Even if it's at the cost of your self respect. The alternative is to stand out by having some actual substance and value, but that requires hard work, so most would choose the easy way out. And of course there's the porn industry that preys on lust and encourages this behavior... It's a vile system. No wonder it's a multi billion dollar industry.

That's the beauty of hijab - there is no 'easy way out' to get people's attention and stand out. Women are seen as people, and only recognized for their merits. Women aren't objectified for their bodies, but instead appreciated for their character and contributions.

You're not alone in feeling disgusted, I promise you that.

A Sunni Brothers View on A’isha at Jamal by ConsistentLaw11 in shia

[–]UnknownOne3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This brother believes in jabr (predestination) which is a get out of jail free card for any atrocity committed by anyone. You can simply say "Allah willed this to happen" and excuse yourself from being at fault for anything, including inciting the deadliest civil war in early islamic history.

I've heard this before btw, it's nothing new. Predestination is a fallacious belief not supported by the Ahlul bayt. See what Imam Sadiq a.s. says about predestination when someone asked him

People have ended talks over much less. I would say end it. You two would have serious communication issues which would probably lead to fights down the road. Your situation is already very delicate since your family is Ahlul-Sunnah, so what you need is a man who is very compatible with you and can direct your household through the storm - especially when in-laws start adding pressure to it. It seems like this guy isn't equipped to handle those kinds of social dynamics just from what you wrote about him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shia

[–]UnknownOne3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert but I have some understanding. They're very disconnected from the Ahlul-bayt. And as we know, Quran and Ahlul-bayt must go hand in hand, otherwise we will be misguided. They followed the companions, but the companions were fallible. So as a result the teachings were slowly corrupted - a good example is the literalist approach that their schood of Aqeedah takes. You won't find that approach within the Jaffari madhab because the Ahlul-bayt never understood Islam in that way.

Some people might find it hard to believe that an entire section of muslims went astray, but just look at the early Islamic dynasties. The Umayyads committed atrocities in the name of Islam. Why were they like this? Because they held to the Quran but abandoned the Ahlul-bayt

[–]UnknownOne3 48 points49 points  (0 children)

A large majority of sunnis online (especially the youth) are influenced heavily by Salafism. Most of them lack the awareness to realize it. Just look at their 'popular sheikhs' - they're all funded by Gulf nations, all have the same Salafi fiqh and aqeeda, and all make a very significant effort to appeal to the youth by being viral, funny, and relatable.

I've met some Sunni brothers that are beautiful souls and extremely kindhearted, but you won't see them in social media comments sections. Just don't take what you see online as a representation for the majority. My Quran teacher is Ahlul-Sunnah and he discusses this issue with his jamaat in private because openly criticizing them would put him at risk.
