al-Salamu `Aleykum,
This will be a big topic, and let me explain why.
Islam as we know it is a religion of strong evidence and clear proofs.
Let's talk about Tashayyu` though...
As you all know the Shia religious beliefs usually make no sense and are in complete contradiction to Qur'an, Sunnah and established historical facts.
When our early scholars bombarded them with strong evidence, leaders of the Imamiyyah resorted to fabricating excuses in their ancient books, and for each attack they fabricated a non-convincing excuse and sometimes they are forced to make up other excuses to cover up the first excuse.
This dear brothers is why the topic will be big, because Tashayyu` is a reactionary religion full of excuses. Their beliefs are so contradictory and even their excuses come out as contradictory.
What we're going to do, is that I'll list a bunch of titles, each title is problematic for Imami faith, under each title I'll list as many excuses as I can gather (listing the sources if possible) in a very simple brief way.
I want you guys to contribute and I shall update this post with all your contributions if they are correct and
follow the format below.
WHY DID `ALI NOT RETURN FADAK IN HIS REIGN AND DURING HIS LEADERSHIP?
-Because Fatimah was dead and so was the first Khalifah so `Ali ignored the matter. [Shia member on our forum]
-We Ahlul-Bayt do not take back anything which was taken away from us unjustly or through oppression. [`Ilal al-Shara'i`]
-He hated to take back something that Allah has already punished its usurper and rewarded the one who was oppressed. [`Ilal al-Shara'i`]
-If I were to take back Fadak and return it to Fatimah's children, my army would have turned against me because I changed `Umar's Sunnah and some would have rebelled. [al-Kafi]
-People thought that Fadak was public property for 25 years, if he gives it to his children they'll accuse him of corruption. [
rafed.net]
-He was going to spend its money on the poor and needy in any case so it makes no difference, thus he never returned it. [
rafed.net]
-What shall I do: Fadak, or no Fadak, while tomorrow this body is to go into the grave in whose darkness its traces will be destroyed and (even) news of it will disappear? (Meaning, he will die anyway so why bother returning it) [Nahj-ul-Balagha]
-He did not return Fadak, because he did not wish that people think that he asked for the Khilafah for the sake of material gain. [Ayatulla al-Tabrizi]
-He did not care for the materialistic matters nor the decorations of the worldly life. Since he is the owner, he can drop his right and no one can question him. [yahosein.net member]
-It is not known whether he took it back and gave the family of Fatimah its produce or kept it the way it was because of the circumstances at the time. [Ayatulla Rouhani, istefta.com]
-He did return it and all else is ignorance. He was the leader so all the produce that goes into Bayt-ul-Maal is under his control. [Yasir al-Habeeb, video lecture]
-He did not return Fadak nor did he change the rulings (of those before him) because he even in his position of Khalifah was in a state of extreme Taqiyyah. [Sayyid al-Murtada, al-Shafi]
-Maybe he and his family decided to make it a Waqf, they used to spend its produce on the Muslims. [Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, Fadak fil-Tareekh]
-Previous Khulafa' placed the land in possession of evil people from bani Umayyah, had he restored it by force these people would have reacted with open opposition, and spread rumours, Fitnah and hatred against the Imam. [shiapen.com]
-He was busy with priorities, such as overcoming social poverty, unemployment, alienation, criminality, nepotism... Fadak was a personal matter of low priority to him as a leader. [shiapen.com]
-He promised Rasul-Allah (saw) to not kill his opponents, returning it by force would have led to him killing Marwan. [shiapen.com]
-Fear that people would apostate if he were to take Fadak back. Just as fear of disputes and return to Jahiliyya prevented him from claiming his right of Khilafat back, the same applied to the Fadak dispute. [shiapen.com]
-The Caliph offered it to Musa bin Ja`far, but he said he would not accept it from him unless he gave him the entire piece of land, he claimed its borders (Fafak's) stretches from Africa to Yemen to Samarqand. [al-Kafi & Ja`far al-Subhani in al-Adwa']
-Due to the Fadak incident, Fatimah left this world in anger. He didn't want to reduce the anger of Fatimah by taking Fadak back. [Noorullah al-Tusturi, Majalis al-Mu'mineen]
-He never took Fadak back by sword because this family never use sword for their personal benefits. [Noorullah al-Tusturi, Majalis al-Mu'mineen]
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE 12th IMAM'S GHAYBAH?-He feared he would be killed by the Khalifah's soldiers. [Ghaybat al-Tusi]
-He did not wish to give Bay`ah to the oppressors as his fathers did. [`Ilal al-Shara'i`]
-To follow the Sunnah of previous prophets, such as `Isa (as) and Khadir (as). [Kamal-ul-Deen]
-He does not have companions with good qualities equal to the amount of the people of Badr [al-Mufid, Rasa’il al-Ghaybah].
-As a test from God, those who believe in Ghaybah are true believers. [Bihar-ul-Anwar]
-Allah deprived us of him because of our corruption. [Ghaybat-ul-Tusi]
-For a wisdom only Allah knows. [Center of Belief Research, aqaed.com & Ghaybat-ul-Tusi]
-Until all the believers who are born from the hypocrites have come into existence, then after it he shall appear and he won't forgive any denier. [Noorullah al-Tusturi, Majalis al-Mu'mineen]
-He fears that even the children of Fatimah may kill and cut him to pieces. [Ghaybat al-Tusi]
WHY DID `ALI MARRY-OFF HIS DAUGHTER TO `UMAR?-It wasn't his daughter, he told a Jewish Jinn female to marry `Umar in shape of his daughter. [Kashani, al-Wafi]
-`Umar threatened to accuse him of theft, so he had to marry her off to the Kafir to avoid physical harm. [al-Kafi]
-al-Zubayr bin Bakkar fabricated this story, no marriage took place. [al-Masa'il al-Sarawiyyah, al-Mufid]
-`Umar was not a Kafir, he was apparently Muslim so the marriage is legitimate and no one can blame `Ali. [al-Muhaqqiq al-Sha`rani, al-Wafi]
-There was a confusion, this was Umm Kulthoum the daughter of Abu Bakr, not `Ali. [shiachat.com]
-Many narrations show that they were enemies, so he can't have married her to him. [shiachat.com]
-The narration in the Shia books was said as Taqiyyah. [alqatrah.net, Yasir al-Habib]
-`Umar raped her without her guardian's consent, it was al-`Abbas who was responsible for this. [alqatrah.net]
WHY DID THE PROPHET (saw) NOT MENTION `ALI'S IMAMAH AT THE FAREWELL HAJJ?-He wanted to announce it in Madinah as he would have the support of the Ansar. [Sira` Quraysh ma` al-Nabi, `Ali al-Kourani]
-He feared the people would say he favored his cousin. [Tafseer al-`Ayyashi]
-The people were new to Islam so he feared they would say things about him. [al-Kafi]
-He feared the people would accuse him of lying. [Tafseer al-Meezan]
-Because Ghadeer was a strategic location where Muslims would gather then disperse to their lands. [The Thaqalayn Muslim Association]
-He chose a different location so that the matter of "Leadership"does not become lost among many other statements at `Arafat. [ghadir786.com]
-The people were tired from Hajj so he chose Ghadeer to give them a fresh start and distinctive attention. [ghadir786.com]
-Maybe because the people were busy with the rites of Hajj but later at Ghadeer they weren't occupied. [
Ayatulla Muslim al-Dawuri]
-He feared they would reject faith and return to disbelief. [Tafseer al-Safi]
-He feared they would harm or kill him. [Tafseer Bayan al-Sa`adah lil-Janabidhi]
-He had already said it enough times that there was no point in saying it again. [Shia member on our forum]
WHY DIDN'T `ALI ASK FOR HIS RIGHT OF IMAMAH?-Because Imamah is an obligatory duty like Salat, you have to go to it yourself and it won't come to you on its own, so it was the people's duty to go to `Ali and give it to him. [Al-Radi, Khasa'is al-A'immah]
