Ahlel Bayt -Household of Prophet (pbuh)

Christians have monopolized on the memory of Prophet Jesus, despite the fact that the Muslims have a greater claim to him. Likewise, the Shia have monopolized on the memory of the Ahlel Bayt, despite the fact that the Sunnis have a greater claim to the Prophetic Household. Loving Ahlel Bayt is an obligation for Sunni Muslims, and this means the entire Ahlel Bayt – not just a segment of the Ahlel Bayt like the Shia do. The following articles will clear up some popular misconceptions.
This article proves that the Prophet's wives are Ahlel Bayt. It also presents a definition of what the term "Ahlel Bayt" means which may be different to the one prevalent among our Shia bretheren. In the Quran, Allah Himself declares the Prophet's wives to be the Ahlel Bayt and, thus, it is our assertion that they should not be excluded from our love.
Many of the Shia claim that the Prophet had only one daughter, namely Fatima, and hence deny the very existence of his other three daughters. This article proves without a doubt “using the Quran“ that the Prophet had more than one daughter. Thus, it is our assertion that all four of the Prophet's lovely daughters are part of the Ahlel Bayt.
It is sad and unfortunate that some people have tried to change the meaning of the Quran by playing word games with it. This article refutes these far-fetched theories such as the claims that Allah changed tenses in the Quran from feminine to masculine. We shall also examine the claims by the Shia Ayatollahs that the Quranic Verse 33:33 has been tampered with.
Some people enjoy posting half of a Hadith in order to “prove” their point. This is what we call "Half Hadith-ing." One of the most popular of the Hadith that are manipulated in such a manner is a narration by Zaid ibn Arqam. We shall examine this Hadith in this article and the reader will, Insha-Allah, realize that this Hadith actually affirms that the Prophet's wives are Ahlel Bayt.
All Muslims believe in respecting the Ahlel Bayt. However, many Shia espouse a viewpoint that goes against the Islamic concepts of egalitarianism and is a rejection of Quranic exhortations.
It is the Shia who are the Nasibis, because they hate the Prophet’s wives. The Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah loves the entire Ahlel Bayt, including the Prophet’s wives, all his children, Ali and his family, etc., whereas the Shia only love one segment of the Ahlel Bayt and despise other parts of it.
The Shia scholars do not have a good opinion of Aisha or of Hafsa. This article chronicles some of the allegations levied against the Mothers of the Believers. This collection of Shia sayings is very heart-wrenching for those who love the lovely wives of the Prophet of Islam.
The Quran bestows the title of “Mother of the Believers” (Umm Al Mumineen) to Aisha, Hafsa , and the rest of the Prophet’s wives: “The Prophet is closer to the believers than their ownselves, and his wives are their mothers.” (Quran, 33:6) If Aisha is the mother of the believers, then the people who slander her, insult her, and criticize her can not truly be believers.
The Munafiqoon slandered Aisha in the incident of al-Ifk, which took place in the lifetime of the Prophet. Allah Almighty Himself revealed verses in the Quran not only defending Aisha against slander but condemning anyone who does such a thing as an unbeliever. Slander against Aisha is Haram according to the Quran.
Aisha is of the Ahlel Bayt; she is the First Lady of Islam, the Queen of our hearts, the Mother of the Believers, and the beloved of Allah’s Beloved. Anyone who disrespects her, thereby disrespects the Prophet. This article is food for thought, a simple series of logical arguments backed by the Word of Allah.
The Shia make the claim that verse 33:33 makes the Ahlel Bayt infallible. However, this seems to be an exaggeration, and an unbiased analysis of verse 33:33 shows that nobody is made infallible by this verse. Furthermore, we expose the inconsistencies of many Shia missionaries and hope to impress upon our readers the fallacy in much of Shia theology.
The wives of Prophet Nuh and Prophet Lut were sinful and condemned in the Quran. The Shia bring up these two women in order to justify their position on the wife of Prophet Muhammad, whom they revile. We hope to, Insha-Allah, expose the weakness of the Shia argument in this article.
How is it that Shia missionaries can do Taqiyyah and deny that they hate the Prophet's wives, when they have authentic du'as which condemn Aisha and Hafsa, ask Allah to curse them, and to beat them. This is the depth of their hatred for the Prophetic Household, the Ummahatul Mu'mineen (Mothers of the Believers), and the Prophet's lovers. A very famous Shia du'a called Saname Quraish condemns Abu Bakr and Umar bin Khattab , as well as their two daughters: Aisha bint Abu Bakr and Hafsa bint Umar bin Khattab, the two lovely wives of the Prophet.
The Ahlel Bayt refers to the family of the Prophet. The Sahabah refers to the friends of the Prophet . The Shia claim to love the Ahlel Bayt only, and hate the Sahabah. The Nasibis, on the other hand, love the Sahabah but hate the Ahlel Bayt. Both groups are incorrect in their views. The correct position is to love both the Ahlel Bayt (Prophet's family) and the Sahabah (Prophet's friends).
It is unfortunate that we find many instances in our discourses with the Shia where they willingly take Hadith from Sahih Bukhari out of context to prove their point. One such instance is the Hadith about Bibi Aisha teaching two men how to do Ghusl. The Shia will claim that the Sunnis believe that Bibi Aisha did Ghusl naked in front of two non-mehrem men. In this article, we disprove this horrendous slander, both against Bibi Aisha and against our book of Hadith.
The Shia have changed the meaning of Ahlel Bayt (the Prophetic Household) and have pitted some members of the Prophetic Household against others. It seems they do not truly harbor love for the real Ahlel Bayt, including the Prophet's wives whom they curse, and the Prophet's daughters whom they deny.
The scholars of Sunni Islam are all agreed that whoever accuses Aisha of that which Allaah has stated she is innocent of, is a kaafir. This is because he has rejected Allaah's statement of her innocence in Soorat al-Noor. Whoever feels hatred towards the beloved of the Messenger of Allah will deserved to be despised by him on the Day of Resurrection.
The depths of hatred that the Shia Ulema have for the Prophet’s family (i.e. the way in which they disassociate themselves from his wife Aisha) manifests itself in the following fatwa passed by the Aalim Network on the very popular Shia website, Al-Islam.org. The Shia are discouraged by their scholars to name their daughters by the beautiful name of “Aisha”– such is their hatred for the beloved of our beloved Prophet.
Who are the Ahlel Bayt? Answer: Primarily, the Prophet’s wives are Ahlel Bayt. After them, there are others who were also called that, but it should be remembered that the ones with the most right to be called Ahlel Bayt are first and foremost the Prophet’s wives.
Ali was an embodiment of knowledge and wisdom. In this article, we relate 154 of his wise sayings. May Allah be well-pleased with him!
The Shia propagandists slander the Prophet’s wife, Aisha. It should be noted, however, that the Munafiqoon (Hypocrites) and Kufaar (Disbelievers) have always sought to hurt the Prophet by slandering his wife; as such, there is nothing new in the Shia tactics. During the lifetime of the Prophet, many of the enemies of Islam hurt the Prophet by slandering his wife, and this pained the Prophet very much.
* The Status of the 12 Imams
“Each one of them was a pious, upright Muslim from the noble Prophetic Tree and many of them were also among the foremost people of knowledge in their time.”
The classical scholars of the Shia claimed that there was Tahreef (tampering) of the Quran. They claimed that the “evil” Sahabah changed the Quran, and that the Mushaf we have today is not the real Quran (at least not in its unaltered form). The contemporary Shia scholars, however, completely deny that they believe in Tahreef or that this belief was ever a part of their sect. Nonetheless, despite this denial, many of the Shia Ulema hold onto the belief known as Tahreef bit Tarteeb (tampering in the order of the verses of the Quran such that the meaning of it is changed). Many Shia scholars claim that verse 33:33 was altered in such a manner.

Shia History

Here, we examine historical events that are important to understand in regards to the Sunni-Shia debate. We clarify certain historical events that are purposefully misconstrued by the Shia propagandists. We also delve into the origins of the Shia movement, as well as its impact on history.

The Shia oftentimes portray the incident of Saqifah as a sordid affair in which Abu Bakr supposedly skipped out on the Prophet’s funeral in order to greedily crown himself the Caliph of the Ummah. This couldn’t be further from the truth. This article accurately portrays the events of Saqifah in order to exonerate Abu Bakr of the Shia allegations. ....[....]

One of the most common lies in regards to Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) is that she left her house to fight Ali (رضّى الله عنه) in the Battle of the Camel. The truth is that Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) is innocent of this slander, and the reality is that it was the Shia [i.e. Uthman’s killers] who should be blamed for the Battle of the Camel. It was they who plotted the murder of the Prophet’s own wife and thereby declared war on Allah’s Messenger. ...[.....]

This article has traced the origins of the Shia, which date back to the assassination conspiracy of Umar by the Persian Harmuzan, the Christian Jafeena, and the Jew Saba. The latter’s son, Abdullah Ibn Saba, would carry on his father’s work by adopting the subterfuge tactics of the Jews of Yathrib. Ibn Saba was successful in weakening the Muslims from the inside by creating the Shia sect. Throughout its turbulent history, the Saba’ites, ancestors of the Shia today, have spread Fitnah to every corner of the Muslim world. .... [.....]

Both Ali (رضّى الله عنه) and Muawiyyah (رضّى الله عنه) were adherents of the same faith, of the mainstream Islam. There was, however, a third group which would form in the Battle of Siffin–the Khawaarij–who, via their relationship with the Saba’ites, were the ancestors of the modern day Shia movement. In fact, the Battle of Siffin was an important event in Islamic history to understand for this very reason as it raises many questions that the Shia cannot explain.... [.....]

The Shia spend so much energy beating themselves on the Day of Ashura, lamenting about how Yezid and the Sunnis killed Hussain (رضّى الله عنه). However, these Shia fail to mention who the real culprits are behind the massacre of Karbala. Indeed, it was the Shia of Kufa who can be held accountable for the death of the Prophet’s grandson (رضّى الله عنه). It was their betrayal and treachoury that led Hussain (رضّى الله عنه) to his imminent death.... [......]

In this article, we quote many narrations from Nahjul Balagha, in which Ali (رضّى الله عنه) professes his hatred for the Shia. We see that Ali (رضّى الله عنه) will disassociate himself from the people who profess to be his Shia. And it should be remembered that this collection of Ali’s sayings (رضّى الله عنه) are considered sacred by the Shia, from the most authentic source of Nahjul Balagha. And yet, they are a testament to the impending doom of the Shia and the disgust Ali (رضّى الله عنه) felt of the Shia... [.....]

This is a rebuttal of Answering-Ansar’s article entitled “Who Killed Imam Hussain? (AS)”. Answering-Ansar attempted to shift the blame away from the Shia, but this rebuttal clearly shows that there is no possible way that the Shia of Kufa can be exonerated. The Shia must acknowledge their illustrious history which involves betraying the Ahlel Bayt and leading their own Imam to his imminent death.... [......]
The first part of this article/fatwa deals with rebelling against a Caliph in general, the second part deals with Sayyiduna Hussain’s rising up against Yazid, and the third part deals with the opinion of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah regarding Yazid.... [.......]

The man who killed Sayyiduna Hussain (i.e. gave the death-blow) was a man by the name of Shimr bin Thil-Jawshan and he was a Shia, as recorded in both Sunni and Shia books. Shimr was part of the Shia, and then he betrayed Sayyiduna Hussain and joined Yazid’s men, giving Sayyiduna Hussain the death-blow..... [......]

The Shia sometimes ask why the Ahlus Sunnah does not participate in the Ashura comemmorations. This response by the Ahlel Bayt Admin should clarify the position of the Ahlus Sunnah, and it will expose the hidden agenda of the Shia who celebrate Ashura only as a means of spiting the Ahlus Sunnah.... [.......]

Abdullah ibn Saba was a Jewish Rabbi who “converted” to Islam in order to found the Shia sect. The modern day Shia propagandists will often deny the existence of Abdullah ibn Saba out of embarassment that this is their originator. And yet, Abdullah ibn Saba’s existence is well-known and has been accepted by the classical Shia scholarship, the Sunni scholarship, and even the Non-Muslim historians. Here, we see that the Jewish Encyclopedia has included an entry on the founder of Shi’ism..... [.....]

The “Jewish Encyclopedia” says:
  • ABDALLAH IBN SABA
    By : Hartwig Hirschfeld
    A Jew of Yemen, Arabia, of the seventh century, who settled in Medina and embraced Islam. Having adversely criticized Calif Othman’s administration, he was banished from the town. Thence he went to Egypt, where he founded an antiothmanian sect, to promote the interests of Ali. On account of his learning he obtained great influence there, and formulated the doctrine that, just as every prophet had an assistant who afterward succeeded him, Mohammed’s vizier was Ali, who had therefore been kept out of the califate by deceit. Othman had no legal claim whatever to the califate; and the general dissatisfaction with his government greatly contributed to the spread of Abdallah’s teachings. Tradition relates that when Ali had assumed power, Abdallah ascribed divine honors to him by addressing him with the words, “Thou art Thou!” Thereupon Ali banished him to Madain. After Ali’s assassination Abdallah is said to have taught that Ali was not dead but alive, and had never been killed; that a part of the Deity was hidden in him; and that after a certain time he would return to fill the earth with justice. Till then the divine character of Ali was to remain hidden in the imams, who temporarily filled his place. It is easy to see that the whole idea rests on that of the Messiah in combination with the legend of Elijah the prophet. The attribution of divine honors to Ali was probably but a later development, and was fostered by the circumstance that in the Koran Allah is often styled “Al-Ali” (The Most High).
