Then stop engaging me in discussions.
With your eyes closed shut, I cannot show you the sun even if a hundred of them rise in the sky. So enjoy being an ignorant fool.
Are you saying you have demonstrated that which your scholars failed to do since day one? That makes you superior to them and knowing how foolish you can be, I can only imagine how foolish your scholars are!
Fine display of your foolishness. Zakat is in the Qur'an and rejecting it is like rejecting a part of the Qur'an and therefore the entire Qur'an. The hadith clarifies what the Qur'an establishes, i.e., Zakat.
In the case of Imamah, neither the Qur'an nor Sunnah establishes it and the fake "Sonnah" transmitted by Kufans - which establishes it - also claims that there aren't 313 men in your midst for the scared one to come out.
All that bark but no bite. Your first "infallible" Imam (ra) accepted leadership as per the foundations laid down during Saqeefah and he even referenced it as a legitimate methodology in Nahjul Balagha.
Are you serious? How was Imam Ali (ra) named the Fourth Caliph? Divine Intervention? Or did the people come after him since he was the most deserved after Uthman (ra)?
Also, as I alluded to earlier, he clearly said, "Verily, the people who payed allegiance to Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, have payed allegiance to me based on the same principles as the allegiance to them. So anyone who was present has no right to go against his pledge of allegience, and anyone who was absent has no right to oppose it. And verily shura (consultation) is only the right of the Muhajirs and the Ansar. So if they decide upon a man and declare him their imam, then it is with the pleasure of Allah. If anyone goes against this decision, then he must be persuaded to follow the rest of the people. If he persists, then fight with him for leaving that which has been accepted by the believers. And Allah shall let him wander misguided and not guide him." (Nahjul Balagha Letter 6)
Go ahead, deny your own first "infallible" Imam (ra), like you rejected your sixth "infallible" Imam (ra), lol.
The army of 5000 men were Sahaba (ra) and their offspring? Ya jaahil, who moved the capital to Kufa? The other Sahaba (ra) or Imam Ali (ra)? It was Imam Ali (ra) who did so and hence, it was his "supporters" that resided mainly in Kufa. The same "supporters" whom he admonished in Nahjul Balagha, the same supporters (or cut from the same cloth) who duped Imam Hassan (ra) and later assassinated Imam Hussain (ra).
Once again, I quote your own first "infallible" Imam (ra) for you.
"And verily shura (consultation) is only the right of the Muhajirs and the Ansar. So if they decide upon a man and declare him their imam, then it is with the pleasure of Allah".
I have a feeling you will soon oppose Imam Ali (ra) on electing a leader much like you opposed Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (ra) on the punishment for those who refuse to pay Zakat.
You clearly do not understand the difference between established beliefs and their clarification in Qur'an and Sunnah AND misguidance which has no root in Qur'an and Sunnah. Zakat is the former; Imamah is the latter (in case you still don't understand).
All this back-n-forth because the dimwit you are, you did not read your own evidence properly.
"Then stop engaging me in discussions"
I'm not engaging you in anything. As long as you talk about my faith, community and people in a wrong and negative way I won't sit and stay silent.
"With your eyes closed shut, I cannot show you the sun even if a hundred of them rise in the sky. So enjoy being an ignorant fool"
Now that's the talk of an ignorant fool. Can't explain yourself when asked then come out with silly examples and comments. You haven't changed.
"Are you saying you have demonstrated that which your scholars failed to do since day one? That makes you superior to them and knowing how foolish you can be, I can only imagine how foolish your scholars are"
Now this is the talk of an arrogant individual. Start a thread and discuss what you want. That's the way to do it.
"Fine display of your foolishness. Zakat is in the Qur'an and rejecting it is like rejecting a part of the Qur'an and therefore the entire Qur'an. The hadith clarifies what the Qur'an establishes, i.e., Zakat"
Stop being a fool and then hiding behind your foolishness. Prove to me from the Qur'an that if you refuse to pay Zakah or hand in the Zakah money to the ruler of the time then you have committed a serious crime and by Shariah law you face the death penalty. That's what I asked you. I don't know why you're bringing in irrelevant stuff to this thread.
"In the case of Imamah, neither the Qur'an nor Sunnah establishes it"
Imamah is clear in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Your Caliphate isn't based on Qur'an or sunnah.
"and the fake "Sonnah" transmitted by Kufans"
The Kufans were put under siege by your Caliphate. A ruthless individual by the name of Ubaydallah ibn Ziyaad was made governor of Kufa just to terrorise and crush them. Well that's your Caliphate there for you. That's what your Caliphate brought.
"which establishes it - also claims that there aren't 313 men in your midst for the scared one to come out"
Sarcastic comments don't bother me. It just shows your weakness.
"All that bark but no bite. Your first "infallible" Imam (ra) accepted leadership as per the foundations laid down during Saqeefah and he even referenced it as a legitimate methodology in Nahjul Balagha"
What were the foundations for Caliphate that were laid down in Saqifa. You make claims but can't back them. You say things but can't explain.
"Are you serious? How was Imam Ali (ra) named the Fourth Caliph? Divine Intervention? Or did the people come after him since he was the most deserved after Uthman (ra)?"
You tell me how he was named the 4th Caliph. Care to explain. Why was he the most deserved after Usman. Why not before him.
"Verily, the people who payed allegiance to Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, have payed allegiance to me based on the same principles as the allegiance to them"
What are those principles?
"So if they decide upon a man and declare him their imam, then it is with the pleasure of Allah. If anyone goes against this decision, then he must be persuaded to follow the rest of the people"
So those who went against this decision (opposed the 4th Caliph) were do you put them.
"All this back-n-forth because the dimwit you are, you did not read your own evidence properly"
You're the one being a dimwit going back n forth then bringing in irrelevant stuff. Because you say something then you can't explain it. You make a claim but can't back it. That's all you.
"You clearly do not understand the difference between established beliefs and their clarification in Qur'an and Sunnah AND misguidance which has no root in Qur'an and Sunnah. Zakat is the former; Imamah is the latter (in case you still don't understand)"
Oh I clearly understand. Be it former or latter or what ever else, you demand then be ready and prepared to deliver. Either use the Qur'an only then discuss by that. Set your principles first then discuss. Don't discuss then Start rearranging principles as you go along
"I have a feeling you will soon oppose Imam Ali (ra) on electing a leader much like you opposed Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (ra) on the punishment for those who refuse to pay Zakat"
Don't go by feelings, go by facts and principles. Prove it from the Quran. Or accept the fact that it's not necessary that everything has to be in and from the Quran and exactly the way you want it.
