Ask a Shia

[Karbala]

So basically, this verse is about A'isha slandering Mariya. Interesting, isn't it

Again since I cant really follow the arabic allow me a few days to read for myself your source. Im having to rummage through a dictionary everytime I try.

The Shi'ite scholar Mullah Baqir Majlisi in his book Hayatul Quloob says:
1- Aa'ishah and Hafsah martyred Rasulullaah by giving him poison. (Vol. 2, Hayat-ul-quloob, page #870, Baqar Majlisi)


2- Mullah Baqir Majilisi comments about Ayesha (R.A.) and Hafsa (R.A.) that: "They were both hypocrites." (Hayatul Quloob: 2:745)

I have seen that on a few sites myself. May I warn you about copy and pasting from random anit-shia websites (eg. allahuakbar.net which I suspect you may have got this from). I am familiar with the works of Allamah Majlisi and I know that in his introductions he clearly states that some hadiths that he displays are inauthentic and that he simply states them for comprehensiveness. I suspect this is the case here.


Nevertheless from what I have read from Shia scholars the Prophet was most likely poisened by jewish woman. Nothing to do with Aisha or Hafsa. You can either trust me or I can provide sources if you really want me to

Sister, how can you expect me to turn around and walk away from someone who's religion condemns the companions of Mohammed (pbuh)?

My religion is the same as yours my brother. I never came on this site to convert people since we are all muslims already. I just wanted people to understand where we come from and to accept us as fellow muslims and to put an end to the bad blood between us. We do not curse all the companions of Mohammad.

Most Shi'ites and their scholars curse at the wives of Mohammed (pbuh).

That I must say is just wrong. Maybe some crazy minority somewhere do. But then again some crazy minority sunnis in Pakistan believe killing 8 Shias will send them to heaven. The wives all have the status as umm ulmomineen and Shias are not allowed to curse them. However the Shias do reserve the right to criticise them based on their actions. This is certainly the case with Aisha.

Karbala might say that he doesn't curse the companions and wives of Mohammed (pbuh).

I definitely don't curse the wives of the Prophet. As for the companions it is a different matter. If by cursing you mean insulting, slandering, abusing (arabic سب I think) that is not allowed. However concerning such companions as Muawiya or Yazeed then the Shia do practice لعن which carefully translates to "removing mercy". لعن is most definitely practiced and is even highly recommended in the Shia Madhab. To hate the killers of Hussain is only natural im sure you cannot blame us for that.

45. We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might),
46. And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta),


Al Haqa 45-46

Muslimah these arent threats since they are in the past tense. It is merely a statement backing up the previous verse that the Quran is an inspired revelation. A threat is always given in the future. This cannot be compared to the legislative threat in Surat al-Ahzab.

I come from a country in which the majority of the population are Shi'ites.

Interesting Bahrain? Iran? Iraq? Lebanon?


I come from a country the majority of which views me as a kaafir or a mushrik. Most of my family views me as such. However what I find astonishing is that some muslims claim to hold AhlulBayt in high regard and also put the suffix رضي..... after the names of their killers and oppressors.
