In the name of allah
first i should say sorry for my english I would also like an attempt to tell how I've become a sunni Muslima
i was born in iran all my family are shia and they are living in mashhad city When I was 18 years old i went to university I had a friend who perform sunni pray after a while I started searching and studing about Islam
i Also read many books such as kafi night pishawar and ayanat and many books about shia and sunni
i decided chanche my self to another relegion coz The reason is for me the Shia beliefs don’t make sense i have read quran and noticed many ayehs are Unlike the Shiite faith for example shia just accept 4 or 3 sahaba! the Shia doesnt accept bilal habashi and suhaib rumi and khabbab ibn al-aratt and abdullah ibn salam and khebab ibn manzar and..
this hadith is very strange to me : الكليني عن حنان بن سدير عن أبيه عن أبي جعفر أنه قال: "كان الناس أهل ردة بعد النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) إلا ثلاثة فقلت: ومن الثلاثة فقال: المقداد بن الأسود وأبو ذر الغفاري وسلمان الفارسي, واختلفوا في عددهم فمنهم من زاد عن هذا العدد. والصحابة عند الشيعة قسمان
this hadith is popular in shia sources
quran is clear about sahabah :
59:10 And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful.
9:100 And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun (those who migrated from Makkah to Al-Madinah) and the Ansar (the citizens of Al-Madinah who helped and gave aid to the Muhajirun) and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.
9:117 Allah has forgiven the Prophet (SAW), the Muhajirun (Muslim emigrants who left their homes and came to Al-Madinah) and the Ansar (Muslims of Al-Madinah) who followed him (Muhammad SAW) in the time of distress (Tabuk expedition, etc.), after the hearts of a party of them had nearly deviated (from the Right Path), but He accepted their repentance. Certainly, He is unto them full of Kindness, Most Merciful.
i also asked many questions from shia aleems who working and teaching shia fiqh in the holy shrine imam reza(ra) they said umar ibn khatab killed fatima i asked what did imam ali do when that happened they make excuse for justify and somethings one of my friend suggested to me that watch fadak tv and yaser al habib some sunni converted to shia because of him i noticed he is true shia cause he is practicing shia without taqiyya and he belives that prophet wife is Whore!! i always though that shia respects to prophet wifes!
i read on a shia site there are many sunni aleems who have converted to shiaism,they claim many sunnis convert to the shia faith
indeed i have disappointed from shia and that does not appeal to me I searched for another religion, but nothing appealed to me. i wanted to be a christianity After one year of careful consideration, I decided to come back to Islam. This is the religion I want to be part of.
I still don't know everything about Islam and I still have a lot to learn but every day I thank Allah that he guided me the right way. And the more I know about Islam the more I realize for myself that I've made the right choice.
I don't want to label myself sunni or shia im muslim follow quran and sunnah.I feel a lot of inner peace now that I have found Allah..
thx Siamak from iran
