About



This site is dedicated to those members of the Prophetic Household (the Ahlel Bayt) who have been abandoned and forsaken by the Shia. This includes the Prophet’s wives–Aisha (R.A) and Hafsa (R.A)–as well as his daughters: Zaynab (R.A), Ruqayyah (R.A), and Umm Kulthoom (R.A). It is evident that the Shia propagandists have slandered the Prophet’s wives and have even denied the existence of three of his lovely daughters. It is for this reason that we amongst the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah (i.e. the mainstream Muslims) find it incumbent upon ourselves to defend the honor of the Ahlel Bayt, and to become the intellectual Vanguard of Sunni Islam.

The Ahlel Bayt were never Shia, but rather were always part of the mainstream Islam. How could the Ahlel Bayt be Shia when Allah said in the Quran:



 مُنِيبِينَ إِلَيْهِ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿٣١﴾ مِنَ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ ﴿٣٢ 


"and be not amongst those who join gods with Allah, those who split up their Religion, and become shias (sects) - each party rejoicing in that which is with itself". (Quran, 30:31-32) 
The transliteration of the Arabic reads:

“Muneebeena ilayhi waittaqoohu waaqeemoo alssalata wala takoonoo mina almushrikeena. Mina allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanoo shia an kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona”

In the Nahjul Balagha, one of the most revered books of the Shia, Ali (R.A) said in Sermon 126:

"With regard to me, two categories of people will be ruined, namely he who loves me too much and the love takes him away from rightfulness, and he who hates me too much and the hatred takes him away from rightfulness. The best man with regard to me is he who is on the middle course. So be with him and be with the great majority of Muslims because Allahâ hand of protection is on keeping unity. You should beware of division because the one isolated from the group is a prey to Satan just as the one isolated from the flock of sheep is a prey to the wolf. Beware! Whoever calls to this course [of sectarianism], kill him, even though he may be under this headband of mine." (Source: Al-Islam.org, http://www.al-islam.org/nahjul/126.htm)
It is truly sad that people have exploited the memory of the Ahlel Bayt in order to schism into various sects, against the Command of Allah. The Ahlel Bayt were Muwahiddoon (Unitarians of Islam) who would never split into sects. The Ahlel Bayt website was designed by the Muwahiddoon as an open invitation to the Shia of the world to reject sectarianism and accept the Islam of the mainstream orthodoxy, the same group to which the Ahlel Bayt belonged to.

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.

Imamah, Imamate


The major difference between the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah and their Shia brothers is the doctrine of Imamah. The articles below will show that the concept of Imamah is the negation of the central tenet of Islam–namely that Prophet Muhammad is the seal of the Prophets.
For hundreds of years, the Shia scholars have not been able to answer the “Quran Challenge.” The Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah has repeatedly challenged the Shia to produce even one single verse in the Quran that outlines the Shia concept of Imamah.
In Part I, we challenged the Shia to produce even a single verse in the Quran that proved their doctrine of Imamah. After miserably failing at this task, there were many “cop-out” semi-responses to our challenge. We shall address them here, and it will become abundantly clear to the unbiased reader that the weakness of the Shia responses is indicative of the baseness of the belief in Imamah.
In this article, we examine every single time the word “imam” is used in the Quran. We find that the Quran does not mention the Infallible Imams of the Shia in any way, shape, or form. This article proves that the Shia can never answer The Quran Challenge.
This article continues from where we left off in our earlier articles entitled “The Quran Challenge.” We have already discussed how important Imamah is to the Shia, and how they view it as more important than Prophethood/Messengership. And we have also seen how the doctrine of Imamah is not referred to in the Quran at all. Now we compare this with the plethora of verses in the Quran which discuss Prophethood/Messengership. Whereas the Quran talks about many Prophets/Messengers, we fail to see any discussion of mysterious Imams. The obvious question is why would Allah mention Prophethood/Messengership so many times in the Quran, but fail to mention Imams, which–according to the Shia–are more important than the Prophets/Messengers?
In this article, we prove that the Shia believe their Imams to be superior to Prophets, and we do this from their own sources. We then explain the danger of this belief, and how it is clearly Kufr (disbelief). This article shatters the prevailing misconception that the differences between Sunni and Shia are minor.
The Christians ascribe Allah’s Attributes to Isa (عليه السلام). Likewise, the Shia ascribe Allah’s Attributes to the Imams. The Shia believe in the Infallibility (Ismah) of Imams. In this article, we will examine what exactly Infallibility (Ismah) means to the Shia and why the rightly guided Ahlus Sunnah considers this belief of the Shia to be Shirk.
The Shia have exalted their Imams to a level of Shirk, granting them powers, abilities, and qualities only befitting of Allah Almighty. This article is only the tip of the iceberg, but it is a good insight into the manner in which the Shia exalt their Imams and commit Shirk in the process. Included are Shia Hadith pertinent to the matter.
The Shia believe that the Imams know when they are going to die and die only by their own will. This contradicts the Islamic belief, for not even the Prophet Muhammad (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) knew when he was going to die, and he definitely did not do so out of his own control. It is a fundamental belief in Islam that nobody knows when they are going to die and nobody has any control over it save Allah Almighty.
The Shia believe that their Infallible Imams posses knowledge of Al-Ghaib (the Unseen). This belief is a complete contradiction of the numerous Quranic verses which categorically prohibit the knowledge of Al-Ghaib. This exaggeration and exaltation of their Imams is Kufr.
The most reliable Shia book of Hadith is Al-Kafi. In it, we find narration after narration about Imamah, and we shall herein examine some of the troubling Shia Hadith. The Shia have gone away from the Quran and instead they derive their faith from the sayings of their Imams (i.e. Hadith including Al-Kafi).
Ayatollah Khomeini and the rest of the Shia Ayatollahs exploit the teachings of Shi’ism in order to further their own power and status. The Ayatollahs elaborate on the concept of Infallible Imams, and by doing so, they indirectly boost their own position and status since they are the interim Imams. This article explores the concept of Wilayat ul-Faqih.
The idea that one lineage is superior to another runs contrary to the egalatarian spirit of Islam. The leadership of the Muslims cannot be confined to one family as the Shia claim it is, but rather it is open to any Muslim, namely the one who is most pious, regardless of his familial descent of which he had no control whatsoever.
In this article, we explore the history of Imamah, and we find that after the death of each of their Imams, the Shia split into more and more sects. Each sect took a different person to be the successor to the dead Imam. The Shia criticize the Ahlus Sunnah for not following the Imam, but they themselves cannot decide upon who is the Imam!
When the 12th Imam supposedly went into occultation, various Shia leaders self-proclaimed themselves as representatives of the Hidden Imam in his absence. They began collecting Khums (religious tax) in the name of the Hidden Imam. This article explores this fraud.
The occultation of the Imam is 100% in variance with the very basis of the reason the Shia claim we need an Imam. The Shia belief is in fact not self consistent. On the one hand, the very reason we need an Imam is to lead, but now the Imam has been in occultation, so what benefit does the Imam give now?
Imamah is the foundation of Shi’ism; the Ahlus Sunnah rejects Imamah because the doctrine makes little logical sense. Indeed, there are many perplexing questions for the Shia as well as several holes in the doctrine of Imamah. In this article, we put to the test the doctrine of Imamah and see how it measures up in the light of logic.
In this article, the author presents the hypothetical scenario that he becomes convinced that we need to follow Infallible Imams and that he wants to convert to Shi’ism. The question then presents itself: which of the dozens upon dozens of Shia sects should he follow? Which chain of Imams is the correct one? This dilemma underscores the invalidity of the Imamah doctrine.
The Shia are waiting for their Twelvth Imam to descend upon them. The evidence suggests that the person that the Shia will take as their Twelvth Imam will be none other than Dajjal, as prophecized in the Hadith of the Prophet. The Ahlus Sunnah should thus always keep in mind that the Shia are the future followers of Dajjal.
This was in response to an email query sent to us by a brother named John. We decided to make our reply public in case it should help any others as well. May Allah guide Brother John and us to Truth!

Shia Texts

Shia Believe in Holy Books After the Quran


As Muslims, we believe in the finality of Prophethood and the finality of the Holy Books. Prophet Muhammad (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) was the final Prophet. The Quran was the final Holy Book of Allah.
The Shia reject both of these central tenets of Islam. They extend the Prophethood through their Imams, who are considered by them to be superior to Prophets (other than Prophet Muhammad). The Shia also believe in holy books after the Quran, including the Mushaf Fatima (Book of Fatima), Al-Jamia, and Al-Jafr (The Parchment). According to the Shia, these are books divinely inspired from Allah. There are many Shia Hadith which refer to these three holy books, and we shall herein reference them.
These Shia Hadith are in Al-Kafi, the most important of the four books of Shia Hadith. These Hadith can also be found on the very popular Shia website, Al-Shia.com.
(see: http://www.al-shia.com/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part4/part4-ch40.htm)
Another popular Shia website, Al-Islam.org, explains what these holy books of the Shia are.
(see: http://www.al-islam.org/organizations/AalimNetwork/msg00357.html)
  • Al-Jamia
The Shia believe that this book, Al-Jamia, contains “all the lawful and unlawful” as well as “all matters that people need.” It is considered to be more complete than the Quran, and it is also much larger than the Quran, apparently the size of the leg of a huge camel.
According to the Shia website, Al-Islam.org:
“Al-Jami’a is a book of 70 cubits long. It is a book which was dictated by the Prophet (SAW) to Imam Ali (AS) and, according to traditions preserved by Kulayni in his al-Kafi, has details of all the halal and the haram. It also has all the legal judgements that people need to know.”
(source: Al-Islam.org,
http://www.al-islam.org/organizations/AalimNetwork/msg00357.html)
The Shia will sometimes defend themselves by saying that these holy books are not extensions of the Quran because they do not dictate religious law. But the reality is that Al-Jamia supposedly contains the complete Shariah, or religious law! It has the Shariah compensation for even the scratch caused by a person. It is thus quite literally a “better” Quran.
Let us examine the Shia Hadith from Al-Kafi in regards to al-Jamia:
Hadith 635, Ch. 40, h 1
The Imam (a.s.) then said, “O abu Muhammad, with us there is al-Jami’a. What do they know what al-Jami is?” I then asked, “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, what is al-Jami’a?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “it is a parchment seventy yards by the yards of the Messenger of Allah long that contains his dictations that is engraved in to with the right hand writing of Ali (a.s.). It contains all the lawful and unlawful and all matters that people need, even the law of compensation…[even for] a scratch caused to a person.” He then stretched his hand to me and asked, “May I, O abu Muhammad?” I then replied, “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, I am all at your disposal.” He pinched me with his hand and said, “Even there is the law of compensation for this.”
(Source: Al-Shia.com,
http://www.al-shia.com/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part4/part4-ch40.htm)
Hadith 639, Ch. 40, h 5
Then they asked the Imam (a.s.) about al-Jami’a. The Imam (a.s.) replied, “It is a parchment that is seventy yards long with a width of hide like that of the leg of a huge camel. It contains all that people may need. There is no case for there is a rule in it. In it there is the law to settle the compensation for a scratch caused to a person.”
(Source: Al-Shia.com,
http://www.al-shia.com/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part4/part4-ch40.htm)
Hadith 640, Ch. 40, h 6
“With us there are such things that because of which we do not need people [but] instead people need us. With us there is a book that the Messenger of Allah had dictated and Ali (a.s.) had written it down. It is a book. In it there are all laws of lawful and unlawful matters.”
(Source: Al-Shia.com,
http://www.al-shia.com/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part4/part4-ch40.htm)
  • Al-Jafr
Another Shia holy book includes “Al-Jafr” which is a parchment that contains the knowledge of not only Prophet Muhammad (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم), but also of the past Prophets and Infallible Imams. Al-Islam.org says:
“…al-Jafr, on the other hand, is a book which Imam ‘Ali inherited from the Prophet. It contains knowledge of past and future events.”
(source: Al-Islam.org,
http://www.al-islam.org/organizations/AalimNetwork/msg00357.html)
Not only this, but it would contain knowledge of the future including the names of every king who would rule on earth. Such knowledge is of course not contained in the Quran, so we see that the Shia belief in such a lofty book really decreases the signfiicance of our Quran. We find the following Shia Hadith in Al-Kafi:
Hadith 635, Ch. 40, h 1
The Imams (a.s.) remained silent for a while and then said, “With us there is al-Jafr (the parchment). What do they know what al-Jafr is?” I then asked, “What is al-Jafr (the parchment or a container) ?” The Imams (a.s.) said, “It is a container made of skin that contains the knowledge of the prophets and the executors of their wills and the knowledge of the scholars in the past from the Israelites.”
(Source: Al-Shia.com,
http://www.al-shia.com/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part4/part4-ch40.htm)
H 639, Ch. 40, h 5
The Imam (a.s.) said: “It [Al-Jafr] is the skin of a bull which is full of knowledge.”
(Source: Al-Shia.com,
http://www.al-shia.com/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part4/part4-ch40.htm)
Hadith 641, Ch. 40, h 7
The Imam (a.s.) said, “I swear by Allah that with me there are two books in which there is the name of every prophet and the name of every king that would rule on earth.”

  • Mushaf Fatima
Perhaps the most important of the Shia holy books after the Quran is the “Mushaf Fatima,” or the “Book of Fatima.” What is extremely troubling is that the Shia believe that after the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) died, Fatima (رضّى الله عنها) took over the role of Prophethood by recieving divine inspiration. Fatima (رضّى الله عنها) supposedly recieved divine inspiration, and she would then narrate these divine revelations to Ali (رضّى الله عنه) who would write it down. It should be noted that this is slander against Fatima (رضّى الله عنها), and the Shia are accusing her of creating a holy book after the Quran and thereby acting as a Dajjal, or false prophet.
The Shia narrations boast about how much greater the Mushaf Fatima is than the Quran, declaring that it was “three times bigger than your Quran.” The Shia will deny that this is the “Shia Quran” and they will try to cogitate that there is no comparison between the Quran and the Mushaf Fatima. Then, we wonder: why is their own Imam making such a comparison in the Hadith? Logically, since the Shia Hadith is comparing the Mushaf Fatima to the Quran, the unbiased person must come to the conclusion that the Shia believe them to be on a similar level.
The Mushaf Fatima actually contains information in it that is not in the Quran, including knowledge of future events. The Shia believe that Mushaf Fatima, along with Al-Jamia and Al-Jafr, are books that were restricted to the eyes of the Infallible Imams and nobody else. It was these books which supposedly gave the Imams their immense knowledge.
Let us see Shia Hadith from Al-Kafi on this matter:
Hadith 635, Ch. 40, h 1
The Imams (a.s.) remained silent for a while and then said, “With us there is the book (Mushaf) of Fatima, (a.s.) What do they know what Mushaf of Fatima is?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “Mushaf of Fatima is three times bigger than your Quran. There is not even a single letter therein from your Quran.”
(source: Al-Islam.org,
http://www.al-islam.org/organizations/AalimNetwork/msg00357.html)
Hadith 636, Ch. 40, h 2
“The heretics will appear in the year one hundred twenty eight (745/746AD) because I have found it in the Mushaf of Fatima (a.s.).” The narrator has said that he asked the Imams (a.s.), “What is Mushaf of Fatima?” The Imams (a.s.) said, “When Allah took the Holy Prophet (s.a.) from this world, it caused such a degree of grief to Fatima (a.s.) that only Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, knows its extent. Allah then sent an angel to her to offer solace and speak to her. She complained about it to Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) who asked her to inform him whenever she would find the angel speak to her. She then informed him when the angel came to speak. Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) then would write down all that he would hear of the conversations of the angel so much so that his notes took the shape of a whole book.”
(source: Al-Islam.org,
http://www.al-islam.org/organizations/AalimNetwork/msg00357.html)
Hadith 639, Ch. 40, h 5
The narrator has said that he asked the Imams (a.s.), “What is Mushaf of Fatima?”The Imam (a.s.) waited for quite a while. Then he said, “You ask about what you really mean and what you do not mean. Fatima (a.s.) lived after the Messenger of Allah for seventy-five days. She was severely depressed because of the death of her father. Jibril (a.s.) would come to provide her solace because of the death of her father. Jibril would comfort her soul. Jibril would inform her about her father and his place and of the future events and about what will happen to her children. At the same time Ali (a.s.) would write all of them down and thus is Mushaf of Fatima (a.s.).”

  • Conclusion
How can the Shia then claim to be Muslim when they believe in holy books after the Quran? We do not believe that people of the Bahai faith are Muslim, simply because they follow another holy book after the Quran! Truly, such beliefs constitute Kufr Akbar (Major Disbelief).
Another oddity is that the Shia Imams supposedly possessed books of immense knowledge and yet they hid them from the world, according to the Shia. These Imams did not share these books with their Shia followers. Today, we do not find any Shia who has ever seen these three mysterious holy books. Indeed, the Shia believe that the Hidden Imam has also hidden these books with himself. Imams are meant to guide, so why would they possibly hide books of knowledge? The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) was given the Quran, but he did not hide this holy book from the people. Instead, he shared it with the world and told everyone to spread it so that people be guided.
It would be childish of the Imams to say “this book is mine…stay away!” In fact, in the Shia Hadith, one of the Infallible Imams of the Shia says:
“With us there are such things [i.e. Jafr Al-Jami] that because of which we do not need people [but] instead people need us.”
(Source: Al-Shia.com,
http://www.al-shia.com/html/eng/books/hadith/al-kafi/part4/part4-ch40.htm)
It is a bit odd that the Imam would be boasting about this. The only explanation as to why the Shia Imams hid their holy books is that these books simply did not exist and are a figment of the Shia imagination.
The truth is that the fundamentals of the Shia faith–in particular the institution of Imamah (which is the major difference between the Ahlus Sunnah and the Shia)–are simply not in the Quran. Thus, the Shia are forced to find the tenets of their faith in another book. On the other hand, the rightly guided Ahlus Sunnah will continue to reject any holy books after the Quran, and instead vehemently defends the absolute finality of the Quran and the Islamic message.
