Ask a Shia

[Hadji]

Just because something contains inauthentic hadiths doesnt mean you disregard it. The same argument can be made about Buhkaris work.

Mustadrak Al Saheehain isn't completely disregarded, only the unauthentic hadeeths are. Are you claiming that there are hadeeths in Bukhari that are unauthentic? Can you prove an example of one that is unauthentic in the standards of Ahlul Sunnah wal Jama'a?

Shi'as and Sunnis even within themselves cannot agree on a single date for Ramadan or Eid al-Fitr. This isnt an issue of Shia vs Sunni. Pray in different mosques? Wahabbis pray in different mosques to Sufis who pray in different mosques than Salafis who pray in different mosques than barelvis who pray ...............etc etc. Iraqis pray in different mosques than Pakistanis who pray in different mosques than Malaysians.....................etc etc. People will go to the mosque they are most comfortable in. This may be due to many things language, nationality, race not just Shi'a or Sunni.

I've lived in Bahrain for eighteen years. I can safely say that the Shi'ites know when Ramadan and Eid are, but they always postpone by a day, for the sake of going against Ahlul Sunnah wal Jama'a.


They choose to perform the prayers a few minutes later on purpose as well. It is not a matter of where they are living or convenience. Two masjids can be right across the street, but the Shi'ites would always pray a few minutes after.


Iraqis sometimes do pray with Malaysian and Pakistanis do the same. It doesn't matter what their nationality is. There is nothing written in their country's law that prohibits them from praying in the masjid that is populated by other Muslims. There is no such thing as an "Iraqi" masjid.


Anyways, I don't get what you mean by Wahabis and Salafis praying in different masjids. Can you tell me how Wahabis and Salafis are different in aqeedah?


Also, you are right about Sufis and Barelvis. I believe that the verses apply to them as well. But, in my opinion, the verses apply to Shi'ites more than anyone. Unless of course, Allah (swt) wasn't aware that there would one day be a sect know as Al-Shee'a, wal iyathu billah...
