Below Are The Beneficial Points Covered by The Shaykh:

Introduction – Who are the Shīʿa?

• The word Shīʿa in the Arabic language means ‘the followers.’
• The legislative definition of the word Shīʿa refers to those who see ʿAlī (رضى الله عنه) as above and beyond ʿUthmā
• The scholars say that the Shīʿa sect has differerd from time to time in various conditions, and therefore had different definitions during each time.
• It is hard to come up with a solid definition regarding the Shīʿa because the stages and characteristics of Shīʿsm has differed from time to time.
• The Shīʿa divided into many groups, but all return to three main groups.

1. Al-Ismāʿiliyyah. These are the most wicked of the three groups.
2. Al-Ithnā ʿAshariyyah or the 12 Imāms. Hezbollāh branched out from here.
3. Al-Zaydiyyah. Ahl Al-Sunnah do not consider them to be outside the fold of Islām.

• Al-Ithnā ʿAshariyyah (The twelve Imāms) – this is a second main group of the Shīʿa.
• Mūsā Ṣadr came out of Iran in the second part of the last century, then moved to Lebanon and became a Lebanese citizen which at this time was very hard to achieve, but he had some ‘behind the doors’ help with this matter.
• This Mūsā Ṣadr started a group called ‘The Deprived’ – calling the people to be Shi’ī.
• Mūsā Ṣadr was later killed and until this present time the case is still open as to who killed him.
• The movement (of ‘Hope’) he founded before his death is now known as ‘Hizbullah’.
• The third main group of the Shīʿa is called Al-Zaydiyyah which has many sub-groups underneath it

The celebrations of the Shīʿa

• The definition of the word ‘Eid in Islām.
• ʿEid Baba Shujāʿ’i-Dīn – A celebration that praises the killer of ʿUmar Ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb (رضى الله عنه), Abu Lu’lu’ah Al-Majūsī – the fire worshiper.
• A true muslim would hate the one who killed ʿUmar Ibn Al- Khaṭṭāb (رضى الله عنه) and not glorify that person.
• The second celebration ʿEid Ghadīr Khum refers to a place far from the people that has water. Between Makkah and Madī
• ʿEid Ghadīr Khum is celebrated on the 18^th day of Dhū Ḥ
• The Shīʿa prefer this day of celebration over the other two ʿEids that are known to the Muslims in the sunnah.
• The Shīʿa celebrate ʿEid Ghadīr Khum because they claim that the prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) advised that ʿAlī (رضى الله عنه) should take over after him and be a ruler and khalīfah of the Muslims.
• Iran tried to influence the Muslims by using satellite channels and TV shows.
• Syrian sitcoms (under the supervision of Iran) on TV channels tried to brainwash the Muslims and Arabs with the Shīʿa ideology.

The celebration of ʿĀshūrā’.

• There is a group that celebrates ʿĀshūrā’ by making food and sweets and show happiness called Al-Nāṣibah, who hate the household of the prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم).
• The Shīʿa call the people of Sunnah Al-Nāṣibah.
• The people of sunnah and the Shīʿa agree on the hatred of those who celebrate the day Al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī was killed.
• There were other companions who were better than Al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī and were killed unjustly, such as his father. Why then are the Shīʿa not sad or celebrating the killing of ʿAlī Ibn Abī Ṭālib (رضى الله عنه).
