Ask a Shia

[Karbala]

Salam,


Congratulations to everyone on reaching the holy month. I wish you all good luck in your fasting and search for the night of power.


Salafi = Wahabbi, they just think they are different.


The point I was making is that segregation of masjids isnt necessarily a sectarian thing. There is nothing in Shi'ism to stop us from praying in Sunni Masjids. In fact I regularly (2-3 times a month) pray in a local sunni masjid, I have no problems with it.


The difference in Ramadan timings is a fiqhi issue, not necessarily a sectarian one. There are differences even within Shi'as and Sunnis. E.g Sayyed Fadlallahs followers are beginning Ramadan tomorrow, Sistani the day after. The same can be said for sunnis.


So Hadjis assertion that Shia's are deliberately trying to break Islam into factions is a bit far-fetched.


I believe there are many inauthentic hadiths in Bokhari. Inshallah ill get to that in another post.

Unless of course, Allah (swt) wasn't aware that there would one day be a sect know as Al-Shee'a

I dont see how you associate the word "Shi'a" in the Quran 6:159 to mean Shi'a Ithna Asharis of today? Why dont you apply the same logic to 15:10 or 37:83. You will see the interpretation is absurd.
