Need some help. Verse 5:55 and Shia argument

[Proud Muslimah]

Assalamualaikum...Need some help as to What cud be the most appropriate response to the following arguments :

' Qur’an clearly orders us to take Allah and His (swt)
messenger (asws) and those who give charity while in
ruku as our wali.
Hadiths prove that it was imam Ali ( asws ) only who
gave charity while being in ruku during salat.
Thus this verse from the Holy Qur’an explicitly mentions
the wilayat of imam Ali ( asws ) as obligatory.'

"
Kindly read the verse ahead in sequence with an incident
of Ghadeer... The Verse of Proclamation (Tabligh). - "0
Prophet proclaim what has been revealed to you from
your Lord, for if you do it not you have not conveyed His
message, and Allah will protect you from the (evil designs
of) people... Holy Our'an (5:67) Perhaps the most clear
portent of Imam Ali's excellence over the Muslims after
the Prophet, is the above ayah, which marks a decisive
phase in the history of divine revelation. After creating
this wide and wonderful world, the Almighty had sent an
unbroken chain of prophets to guide mankind towards
divine bliss. The last and the greatest link in this eternal
chain was Muhammad al-Mustapha (s.a.w.), who was
entrusted with the most comprehensive code of laws
capable of solving mankind's needs till doomsday. Now,
there no longer was need of any new messenger. But
nonetheless, the Wise Creator cannot leave mankind's
struggle of thousands of years to the whims and fancies
of fallible Arabs, who had spent the greater part of their
lives in idolatry and sin. Therefore to ensure the safety of
Islam and Muslims, Allah sent down this verse, appointing
Imam Ali as the Prophet's vicegerent. Narrators and
historians have testified to that great event. After
performing the farewell pilgrimage, as the Seal of the
Prophets was heading towards Madina, the Archangel
Gabriel suddenly appeared, at a place where the routes
parted for the different parts of Arabia. Learning the
Almighty's command, the Prophet at once stopped at the
pool Ghadir of Khum, and ordered all those who had gone
ahead, and those that lagged behind to hasten to his
station. When the great gathering of companions was
assembled in the midday sun, the Prophet said he had a
most important message to deliver.
A pulpit made of camel saddles was hastily set-up.
Ascending it, he delivered a sermon asking the people to
be witness that he had faithfully performed the task of
prophet- hood entrusted to him by the Almighty. The
multitude cried in one voice: "We bear witness 0
Messenger of Allah.
He asked, who in their opinion was more worthy of
obedience than their souls, to which they replied that
Allah and His Prophet know better. Then he said: "0
people Allah is my Master (Maula) and I am the master
(Maula) of believers." Hakim Hasakani in 'Shawahid al-
Tanzil', vol. 1, p. 191; Ibn Kathir, vol. 5, p. 209.
Muhammad (s.a.w.) then bent down and lifting up Ali ibn
Abi Talib (a.s.) in his hands, showed him to the vast
crowd and proclaimed those famous words, which
guaranteed the continuation of divine leadership:
"For whomsoever I am master (Ma ala), this All is his
master (Maula)..." For more details on historic events of
Ghadir Khum refers to such famous books as Musnad
Ahmad vol. 1, p. 118-119.; vol. 4 p. 281,270,272,273;
vol.5 p. 347,370; Mustadrak al-Hakim, vol. 3, p. 109;
Sunan ibn Majah and Hakim Hasakani, vol. 1, p.
190&191; Tarikh ibn Kathir vol. 5, p. 209,210,213.
Thrice he proclaimed these words before descending the
pulpit, relieved of having performed the great task which
would save the Muslims from going astray.
The great multitude of Muslims surged towards Ali ibn Abi
Talib (a.s.), felicitating him on his divine appointment.
According to such famous scholars as Zamakhshari and
Nasai, the first one to congratulate and swear allegiance
bai'a) to Imam Ali (a.s.) was Umar Ibn Khattab, who later
became the second caliph.

Gabriel descended again with another revelation, showing
that the Almighty was pleased with His Prophet for
having excellently performed the great final mission to
mankind.
"..today have I perfected unto you your religion and
completed upon you My blessings and approved for you
Islam as your religion..." Holy Qur'an (5:3)..."

[Furkan]

Let's assume the verse refers only to hazrat Ali, did the other 11 also give away in charity while in ruku?

Give me a break.

[Proud Muslimah]

As in bro ? Is it true that only hz Ali r.a gave away zakat in ruku?

[Proud Muslimah]

I read the Summary bro.. JazakAllah.. But I wasn't able to comprehend why was the other sahabi referred to in the ruku part? Also , is it not proven from any sunni ñarration that Ali r.a gave zakah in ruku?

[Proud Muslimah]

Bro Furkan , here's The note given by bro Hadrami :

Refutation of false
claim(Wilayat) made by Shia_S about 5:55 in Al Quran.
Shia scholars have been claiming always that in Sura
Maida, ayat 55 it ordered by Allah to make Ali(r.a) our
Khalifa or Supreme leader !!! They try to say that it is
ayat of Wilayat ! The ayat "Your ally is none but Allah
and [therefore] His Messenger and those who have
believed – those who establish prayer and give zakah,
and they bow [in worship]." 5:55....... Shia people try to
claim that here the Wali ( ﻭَﻝِ ) is Ali(r.a) ,based on their
sroty that, Ali(r.a) gave "zakat" to a poor person during
Salat, by moving his hands when he was in the stage of
RUKU !!! And their base of claim is also the word
( ﺭَﺍﻛِﻌُﻮﻥَ ). This is baseless and blind claim because of
these simple reasons-
1st* No mention of name of Hazrat Ali(r.a) here. 2nd*
As the name of Ali(r.a) is not directly mentioned, a
narration of hadis about this ayat is necessary, but there
is rarely any base !! Totally fabricated narration, there is
no necessary authenticity of this story.
3rd* Ali(r.a) is Amirul Mu’minin, he can’t harm Salat by
concentrating outside or moving fingers. And in Salat one
should be occupied (as Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam said) than moving to “Zakat” . As Quran says
to strictly concentrate in Salat. So , this story is slander
against Ali(r.a) .
4th* This Ayat mentions Zakat, that is given by going to
people, not when people come to you! This fabricated
narration making Ali(r.a) a person- who waits for people
to come and then give Zakat.
5th* During the lifetime of Prophet(s.a.w) , it was not
obligatory to Hazrat Ali(r.a) to give Zakat. As he and
many other sahaba were living under hard condition. He
even did not have MAhr to give in his marriage with
Fatima(r.a), so Rasul(s.a.w) advised him to hive his
metal armor.
6th* This is a blatant lie.AS the Shia narrations say, that
poor man was a CAPTIVE !! who was walking around in
Madina and asking for food !!!! Captive did not ran
away, but was wandering around !!
7th* Then why it is not a Sunnah giving Zakat while in
Ruku of Salat?! If Allah praised while giving Zakat inside
Salat (according to their narration) then it should have
been a Sunnah.

»»» Concerning the “ruku” «««
In this ayat Allah(swt) already mentioned about
establishing Salat, and we all know that Ruku, Sijdah are
included in Salat !! And in Arabic , words 3 rooted and
can change meaning when form changed in different
places. Here the Extra Ruku means -Submission to Allah.
As he said about Dawood(a.s)
[Dawud] said, "He has certainly wronged you in
demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And
indeed, many associates oppress one another,
except for those who believe and do righteous deeds
- and few are they." And Dawud became certain that
We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his
Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and
turned in repentance [to Allah]. Sura Saad (38:24)
Here Dawud(a.s) did not went to Ruku, rather fell to
sijdah, so we go to sijdah when we recite this ayat.
Rasul(s.a.w) said so. He fell down in the
submission to Allah. Similar about when Allah said
to Maryam(a.s) in Sura A’le Imran, Ayat 43. “ O
Maryam, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and
prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer]."
3:43 She was in a separate place under care of
Zakariyya(a.s), not praying salat in Jamaat !! So
clearly the meaning is "submission" also here!
Þ» Actual Answer: This ayat is about Ubada ibn
Samit(r.a) . If we look at the earlier ayats, Allah
says, - “ O you who have believed, do not take the
Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact]
allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to
them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them.
Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.” Al
Maidah (5:51) In the later ayats , Allah forbade
Association with Kuffar, and then told in the 5:55
about who should be taken ally. And it was revealed
regarding Ubadah ibn Samit when Jews asked him
to help them like how Abdullah ibn Ubai ibn Salul
helped Banu Qaynuqa. As Ubadah ibn Samit was
their ally before his acceptance of ISLAM . Ubadah
(r.a) was pure so rejected the Jews. Thus Allah
revealed this ayat to instruct us –who is our ally.
Ally is Muslims , not Jews or Nasara.
May Allah guide those who are in worng path !!

[Hadrami]

I read the Summary bro.. JazakAllah.. But I wasn't able to comprehend why was the other sahabi referred to in the ruku part? Also , is it not proven from any sunni ñarration that Ali r.a gave zakah in ruku?

Whether it was Ali or not, that besides the point and he explained the ridiculousness of that claim and how the real meaning is not bowing down as in prayer but in humbleness etc. He also mentioned that the ayat is related to Ubadah bin Samit ra and his jewish ally situation not about Ali ra at all.

There is a very simple and easy contextual explanation. The Qur'an isn't a book of hidden messages, it is apparent and obvious.

The verse in question is from Surat al-Maidah - 5:55.

This is not a standalone verse, it is part of several verses. Let us place them in their proper context:

Qur'an 5:51:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ أَوْلِيَاءَ ۘ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.

My comment: The Mu'mineen are being told not to take Jews/Christians as 'awliyaa. Does it mean taking them as leaders? No - wilayah in this case is referring to closeness, friendship, protection. Now, why is Allah (swt) telling this to the believers? The next verse explains.

Qur'an 5:52

فَتَرَى الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ يُسَارِعُونَ فِيهِمْ يَقُولُونَ نَخْشَىٰ أَن تُصِيبَنَا دَائِرَةٌ ۚ فَعَسَى اللَّـهُ أَن يَأْتِيَ بِالْفَتْحِ أَوْ أَمْرٍ مِّنْ عِندِهِ فَيُصْبِحُوا عَلَىٰ مَا أَسَرُّوا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ نَادِمِينَ

So you see those in whose hearts is disease hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful.

My comment: Some of the hypocrites (in whose hearts is disease) used the excuse that "misfortune may strike us" unless the believers made an alliance with the Jews/Christians in Madina. This was Abdallah bin 'Ubayy and his hypocrite group. Allah (swt) then says "But perhaps Allah will bring conquest...", in other words, in spite of what these hypocrites are suggesting, He will instead bring victory to the believers, and He will expose the hypocrites and their schemes.

Qur'an 5:53

وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَهَـٰؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ أَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّـهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ ۙ إِنَّهُمْ لَمَعَكُمْ ۚ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا خَاسِرِينَ

And those who believe will say, "Are these the ones who swore by Allah their strongest oaths that indeed they were with you?" Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers.

My comment: After Allah (swt) has given the believers victory, and exposed the hypocrites, the believers will recognise them and denounce them.

Qur'an 5:54

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّـهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ يُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّـهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّـهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, powerful against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allah ; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

My comment: Here Allah (swt) warns the believers against apostatizing from Islam, and threatens to bring forth people who possess the qualities that He mentions (if the believers should become apostates). This is obviously tied in with the warning in verse 51 (taking Jews/Christans as allies). In other words, whoever does this, contravening the order of Allah (swt), is an apostate. The warning is very severe.

Qur'an 5:55

إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّـهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ

Your ally is none but Allah and [therefore] His Messenger and those who have believed - those who establish prayer and give zakah, and they bow [in worship].

My comment: Here Allah (swt) tells the Muslims that their allies and protectors are Allah (swt), the Prophet (saw), and the believers. He then mentions some of the traits of the believers - they establish prayer, they pay zakat, and they bow down in worship. These are 3 seperate qualities, they are not one act - i.e. Allah (swt) isn't saying that they give zakat while they are praying and are in ruku'.

That would be"

يقيمون الصلاة ويؤتون الزكاة فالركوع

 "uqimoona as-salaata wa yu'toona az-zakaata fir ruku''".

They establish prayer, and give zakaat in ruku'.

The above, combined with the fact that "believers" is clearly plural, rules out it being about a single person, or about a person doing salaat and giving zakaat while he's in ruku'.

Qur'an 5:56

وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ اللَّـهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّـهِ هُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

And whoever is an ally of Allah and His Messenger and those who have believed - indeed, the party of Allah - they will be the predominant.

My comment: Once again, Allah (swt) says that the allies of the believers are Allah (swt), His Prophet (saw), and the believers. No mention of their qualities in this verse. This was already done above. But "believers" is still plural, negating it being about a specific believer.

Qur'an 5:57

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَكُمْ هُزُوًا وَلَعِبًا مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَالْكُفَّارَ أَوْلِيَاءَ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّـهَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

O you who have believed, take not those who have taken your religion in ridicule and amusement among the ones who were given the Scripture before you nor the disbelievers as allies. And fear Allah , if you should [truly] be believers.

My comment: Once again, Allah (swt) warns the believers against taking anyone other than Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw) and the other believers as allies. It is a clear shut case.

JazakAllahu khaira brothers.. It cleared that point , alhumdulillah..
Following are some comments frm a post on Sunni shia global debate fb grp where I posted an article frm twelvershia.net. ...

''Sister imam Ali a.s did not pledge alliance after 6
months because of fear , he decided to pledge alliance
because of his love for islam and to keep the stability.
Here is a biblical story that will make u understand imam
Ali a.s stance . He sacrificed his right for the well being of
islam and not fear . Same imam hassen a.s did when he
sacrificed his right to muawiyah. The Judgment of
Solomon refers to a story from the Hebrew Bible in which
King Solomon of Israel ruled between two women both
claiming to be the mother of a child by tricking the
parties into revealing their true feelings. It has become an
archetypalexample of a judge displaying wisdom in
making a ruling.''

'''I asked u tht question keeping this point alrdy in mind..
That's why I meant : If He a.s was a 'divinely appointed
first caliph' , why wudnt he stay firm for his right ? Why
would he give his right happily to baatil (maazAllah) to
rule over fr a long time .. Ali a.s himself acknowledged
the superiority of Abubakr a.s..brother..n it's clear from
the narration u shared in previous comments.. n wen He
acknowledged it ,why do shias hv to raise questions over
it?'' 

I hope I answered it right.. If not, plz leme know.. N I reckon they now wud bring the case of Sulah e Hudaibiya.. Other shias bring it too.. What shud be the possible reply in that case?

[Furkan]

Hazrat Ali gave his bayah the next day and renewed it after six months.

Shiites say that Ali didn't had enough manpower to fight against Abu Bakr. The funny thing is, when you tell them that the rebels such as malik ibn nuwayra became murtads because they refused to pay zakah, the shiites will tell you " No no no, malik was a sahabi who supported Ali over Abu Bakr, he wasn't a murtad"



Hani you might add this to your great topic of "Religion of excuses" ?

[Proud Muslimah]

He gave bayah the next day n then renewed it ..  Can I plz be provided with the narration n its grading ?

[Furkan]

I heard it from audio and read it on various articles.

For now I found this: https://islamistruth.wordpress.com/2010/12/19/fatimara-burning-of-house-bayah-of-alira/

[Proud Muslimah]

Abu Dhar Ghifari says, "That one day he was praying with
The Prophet when a beggar came to the Prophet's
mosque and begged for alms(charity). Nobody gave him
anything. The beggar raised his hands towards heaven
and said, "God! be a witness that I came to Thy
Prophet's mosque and nobody gave me anything." Ali
was bowing in the 'Rukuu' at that time. It was the order
from Allah to Ali in the prayer to give him alms. He
pointed his little finger which had a ring, towards the
beggar who came forward and took away the ring. This
incident happening in The Prophet's presence he raised
his face towards Heaven and prayed as follows:[1]
"O Lord! my brother Musa had begged of Thee to open his
breast and to make his work easy, to loose the knot of
his tongue that people might understand him, and to
appoint from among his relations his brother, as his
Wazier, and to strengthen his back with Aaron and to
make Aaron his partner in his work. O God! Thou said to
Musa, We will strengthen thy arm with thy brother.
Nobody will now have an access to either of you! O God!
I am Moh
ammad and thou hast given me distinction. Open my
breast for me, make my work easy for me, and from my
family appoint my brother Ali as my Wazier. Strengthen
my back with him."
Muhammad had not finished his prayers when Jabraeel
brought the above quoted verse i.e. Quran 5:55.

Is this narration sahih ? N wat mafhoom is to be taken from it ?

[Furkan]

In his famous commentary ibn Kathir made crystal clear, that he doesn’t accept narration about Ali giving zakat in rukoo as a authentic one.

He said:

﴿إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ﴾

(Verily, your Protector is Allah, His Messenger, and the believers…) means, the Jews are not your friends. Rather, your allegiance is to Allah, His Messenger and the faithful believers.

﴿الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلوةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَوةَ﴾

(those who perform the Salah, and give the Zakah…) referring to the believers who have these qualities and establish the prayer, which is one of the most important pillars of Islam, for it includes worshipping Allah alone without partners. They pay Zakah, which is the right of the creation and a type of help extended to the needy and the poor. As for Allah’s statement,

﴿وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ﴾

(and they bow down,) some people thought that they give the Zakah while bowing down. If this were the case, then paying the Zakah while bowing would be the best form of giving Zakah. No scholar from whom religious rulings are taken says this, as much as we know. Therefore,

﴿وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ﴾

(and they bow down,) means, they attend the prayer in congregation in Allah’s Masjids and spend by way of charity on the various needs of Muslims. Allah said;

﴿وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْغَـلِبُونَ ﴾

(And whosoever takes Allah, His Messenger, and those who have believed, as protectors, then the party of Allah will be the victorious.)

So, ibn Kathir apparently didn’t hold opinion that this verse revealed about Ali.

Jalal ad-Deen as-Suyoote in his “Jalalayn” said:

When [‘Abd Allāh] Ibn Salām said, ‘O Messenger of God, our people have shunned us’, the following was revealed: Your patron is God only, and His Messenger, and the believers who establish prayer and pay the alms, bowing down, humble, or performing voluntary prayers.

So it’s quet clear that Suyote also didn’t hold opinion that disccused verse was revealed about Ali (r.a).

And if anyone from scholars of tafsir, in their books mentioned narration that this was revealed about Ali (r.a), that doesn’t mean it was their own opinion. None of them named their books as sahih one.

Hazrat Ali gave his bayah the next day and renewed it after six months.

Shiites say that Ali didn't had enough manpower to fight against Abu Bakr. The funny thing is, when you tell them that the rebels such as malik ibn nuwayra became murtads because they refused to pay zakah, the shiites will tell you " No no no, malik was a sahabi who supported Ali over Abu Bakr, he wasn't a murtad"



Hani you might add this to your great topic of "Religion of excuses" ?

He gave baya and renewed it after 6 months??? LOL! What was the need for renewing it??? When exactly did the others renew theirs??? LOL!

For heavens sake, put something forward that makes sense or at least think and ponder over it before putting it forward.

There are many funny stories related to and told by many just like you have. The bottom line is Hazrath Ali (as) never put himself forward and above the welfare of Islam and never threatened the benefit and peace of the Muslims.

Going to war with Hazrath Abu Bakar (ra) was easy and a piece of cake but the consequences for Islam and especially the Muslims were severe and catastrophic.

Hazrath Malik bin Nuwayra (ra) was a companion of the Prophet (pbuh) and here we have people calling him murtad because of his difference with the first Khalif.

Tell me how does one become murtad by not paying zaka'ath??? Or refusing to pay??? How does one become murtad by not praying???

Where is the evidence that Hazrath Malik ibne Nuwayra (ra) refused to pay Zaka'ath??? This is your side of the story and only one side of the argument.
