In this thread, with the help and persmission of Allah, I shall refute all doubts the Rafidah raise in their foolish and failed attempt to exclude 'Aishah, the Mother of the Believers, from her lofty status of (spiritual) motherhood. This thread will basically contain two parts:
- How to refute the Rafidah's claim from the Qur'an in regards to the title 'Mothers of the Believers'
- How to refute the Rafidah's claim from the Sunnah in regards to the title 'Mothers of the Believers'1. How to refute the Rafidah's claim from the Qur'an in regards to the title 'Mothers of the Believers'The Rafidah propagandists try very hard to waterdown a verse in the Qur'an that must feels to them like a dagger in their back (not on their skulls, exceptionally ...):
النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ
"The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers." (Quran 33:6)
Imagine for a second if that verse would have been revealed for the mothers of their Imams! They would have written thousands of books, quoting the verse left, right and centre. In fact they have started whole TV shows where they champion fabricated and alien titles such as:
أمهات المعصومين
('The Mothers of The Infallibles' !!!)
Here a book with a cover of homosexual looking 'Imams' and their mommies, distributed by the Ayatullat Al-Khoie (Al-Chainsmokey) publications again with the fabricated title 'The Mothers of the Infallibles':
Here the evil looking hooked nosed Rabbi Mohammad (father of the even more doomed looking Sadiq) Al-Shirazi's book, also titled 'The Mothers of The Infallibles':
Look how they brainwash their gullible followers with fabrications for which Allah has sent down no authority. Fabrications such as the (unknown) mother of the Mahdi and a bunch of other mothers who were never mentioned with any title in the Qur'an.
Back to verse 33:6 that like so many other verses destroys Shiism completely (hence they have to resort to lies and all sorts of acrobatic interpretations to distort the clear-cut/muhkam verses of the book of Allah)
This verse is very clear, muhkam (non-ambigious, clear-cut), the Ummah had never any difference of opinion in regards to this verse. This verse includes ALL wives of the Prophet (صل الله عليه وسلم) and their status is venerated. Now many of you know that the Rafidah are notorious for their weakness in Arabic (yes, even the so called Arab Rafidah who sit and learn with a bunch of Iranian Ayatullats who can't even recite a Fatiha properly after hitting the age of dinosaurs), this is why their evil 'scholars' and propagandists fool their laymen (who mostly know jack about Arabic) with the lie that this verse has actually nothing to do with respecting the wives of the Prophet (صل الله عليه وسلم), they claim it merely states that their relation to us is like the relation one has to his own mother in regards to marriage i.e. ones mother is mahram and hence marrying her is forbidden and in conclusion marrying any wives of the Prophet (صل الله عليه وسلم), is prohibited, and this is the only message of the verse.
They claim that this is all the verse is about. Of course (as usual) this is nothing but a lie, not just from a linguistic point of view (every Arab kid knows that mother/Umm has a special status in the language, hence Allah called Makkah UMM Al-Quraa' i.e. the MOTHER of all towns), but even from a Qur'anic context. Since the Rafidah are also very unfamiliar with the Qur'an and always commit blunders whenever they want to attack the Sahabah (like when they recite verses how 'Aishah and Hafsah were rebuked by Allah, yet forgetting that similar verses were sent down in regards to the Prophet himself were he was harshly rebuked!), there is no wonder that they commit blunders in regards to this verse as well, as there actually does exist a clear verse that solely deals with the topic of prohibition of marrying the Prophets (صل الله عليه وسلم) wives (after his demise). This is the verse:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا....وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْذُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَنْ تَنْكِحُوا أَزْوَاجَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَبَدًا إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَظِيمً
"O ye who believe! …Nor is it right for you that ye should annoy Allah's Messenger,
or that ye should marry his widows after him at any time. Truly such a thing is in Allah's sight an enormity." (Quran 33:53)
I could actually stop here and by now you should know how to refute every Rafidi who comes up with the cheap Shubha (doubt) that the verse 33:6
'is merely about the prohibition of marrying the Prophets (صل الله عليه وسلم) wives'. Citing the correct verse above is enough to silence them and prove their ignorance in regards to the Qur'an. And in all fairness, although very very rare, there are some Shia scholars who had the decency and sincerety to actually admit and confirm that the famous verse 33:6 which is always (rightfully) cited by Sunnis
is in fact a praise in and by itself, of course such reasonable and pro-Qur'an scholars are shunned by the more lunatic and extremists Rafidah such as the Shirazis-Yasser Al-Khabithis who regards such scholars as deviants and Sufis (the irony, calling others Sufis whilst walking over coal ...). Here some Shia Tafsirs proving my point (needless to say that Sunni Tafsirs state the same i.e. that the verse includes veneration of the status and not just prohibition of marriage):
Shia Tafsir (contemporary)
Tafsir Al-Mizan by Ayatullah Al-Tabatabai
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
وقوله: (وأزواجه أمهاتهم) جعل تشريعي أي انهن منهم بمنزلة أمهاتهم في وجوب تعظيمهن وحرمة نكاحهن بعد النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم
'And His [Allah's] speech: "(... and his wives are their mothers ...) This is the Sharia ruling i.e. his wives are to the men like their mothers,
and by necessity they (i.e the wives of the Prophet) have to be honored and are not allowed to be taken as wives after Prophet(saw).
[Tafsir Al-Mizan, Surah Al-Ahzab, 1-8)
Shia Tafsir (classical)
As mentioned before, many extremist Rafidah will protest and reject Tabatabi claiming that he's deviant anyway, a Sufi ('Arifi) and what not. To their dissapointment, even their very classical Rafidah were not as ignorant as to claim that verse 33:6 contains nothing but the 'hurmah' (prohibition) of marrying the Prophet's wives. They too confirmed that it actually does contain praise and that the wives of the Prophet
must be honoured (nonetheless, they still made Takfir on 'Aishah with a bunch of fabricated narrations such as that Ali divorced her i.e. she is no wife anymore!).
Tafsir Al-Safiوأزوجه أمهاتهم منزلات منزلتهن في التحريم مطلقا وفي استحقاق التعظيم
('... And his wives are their mothers ...) means they share the station of prohibition in marriage
and deserving treatment of grandeur.'
[Tafsir Al-Safi , Volume 4, p. 168]
However in this crazy Sabaite religion you can witness one of the strangest beliefs mankind might have ever witnessed. In the religion of the Rafidah somebody can divorce ones wife after ones demise! These fabrications and totally unislamic beliefs are happily embraced by the Rafidah:
Tafsir Noor Al-Thaqalayn
عن القائم (عليه السلام) انه سئل عن معنى الطلاق الذي فوض رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) حكمه إلى أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام)؟ قال: إن الله تقدس اسمه عظم شأن نساء النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) فخصهن بشرف الأمهات، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): يا أبا الحسن إن هذا الشرف باق ما دمن على الطاعة فأيتهن عصت الله بعدي بالخروج عليك فأطلقها في الأزواج، وأسقطها من تشرف الأمهات ومن شرف أمومة المؤمنين
It is narrated from Imam Al-Qaim (Mahdi) that he was asked about the right of divorce, That the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله) left it at the discretion of Amir Al-Mu'mineen (i.e Ali)?” He replied: “The Almighty Allah, hallowed be His name,
gave an exalted status to the wives of the Prophet and gave them the honour of being the mothers of the faithful. Thus the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله) told Amir Al-Mu'mineen : O Abu Al-Hassan, this status is valid for them till they remain in the obedience of the Almighty Allah. So whoever of them disobeys Allah and after that me, comes out in armed confrontation against you,
remove her from my wife-hood and take away her status of motherhood of faithful.”
[Tafsir Nur Al-Thaqalayn, Vol. 5, p. 372]
^As you can see, despite the narration being a fabrication and opposed to Islamic beliefs, yet there is a truth in it that was put on the tongue of another fabrication i.e. the Shia hidden useless Mahdi, namely thath Allah gave an exalted status to the wives of the Prophet and gave them the honour of being the mothers of the faithful/believers. As you can see, classical Rafidah and some today know very well how right Sunnis are by quoting that verse in defense of all wives (including 'Aishah), hence their last resort is Takfir and exclusion of 'Aishah of being the Prophet's (صل الله عليه وسلم) wive in the first place. The dilemma for them is that the Prophet (صل الله عليه وسلم) - who according to them has the knowledge of the unseen in an absolute sense - never divorced 'Aishah, so they made up the belief that it was 'Ali who divorced her on his behalf.
The 12th Imam of Shias was right in saying that Allah gave an exalted status to the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) when he declared them the mothers of the believers. But he lied when he said that the status was taken away from 'Aishah, for the first Imam Ali said, as is mentioned in Nahj Al-Balagha after the battle of Jamal:
ولها بعد حرمتها الاولى والحساب على الله
'She has
the same respect afterwards as she had earlier, and the accountability is on Allah to take.
[Nah Al-Balagha, p. 335]
There is no doubt that the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) will be his wives even in the Hereafter:
We read in Hadith a prayer of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) regarding his wives. It is stated:
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : سألت ربي عز وجل أن لا أزوج أحدا من أمتي ، ولا أتزوج إلا كان معي في الجنة فأعطاني
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: 'I asked Allah that I marry none of my people
but she be with me in the Heaven and I was granted.' (Mustadrik Al-Hakim, Hadith 4650. Hakim termed it as Sahih)
And as they were to be the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) both here and hereafter so the wives of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) were not allowed to marry any other person. Following narration makes it absolutely clear:
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : المرأة لآخر أزواجها
Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said: ‘[In the Paradise,] a woman will be with her last husband.’ (Tabaqaat Abu Shaikh p.270. Albani classified it as Sahih in Silsala Sahiha H. 1281)
قال حذيفة لامرأته إن أردت أن تكوني زوجتي في الجنة فلا تزوجي بعدي فإن المرأة لآخر أزواجها ، ولذلك حرم الله تعالى على أزواج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يتزوجن بعده
Huzaifa (Prophet's Companion) said to his wife, 'If you wish to be my wife in the Heaven do not marry anyone after me for a woman will be with last of his husbands and for this reason Allah forbade it for the wives of the Messenger (pbuh) to remarry after him.' (Mushkil Al-Athaar 2/147 Hadith 552)
CONCLUSION:It is proven from the books of Sunnis and Shias that the verse of Holy Quran 33:6
does not merely deal with the prohibition of marrying the Prophets (صل الله عليه وسلم) wives after his demise. This is a unacademical and distorted claim championed by modern day Twelver Shia who go as far as to mock the (valid) Sunni understanding by asking questions such as:
'Are you Sunnis saying you could have seen 'Aishah without Hijab?'
'If she was your mother, does that mean that you could have lived with her in a house?'
These question are even more unacademical and childish, for Shia Tafsirs themselves state that 'mother of the believers' is no biological relation, it is rather a spiritual relation. So 'Aishah, Maymunah, Khadijah were all non-Mahrams to all men, yet they were their mothers in a spiritual sense. We read in the Shia Tafsir:
Tafsir Namuneh/al-Amthal Fi Tafsir al-Qur'an (written by Ayatullat Naser Makarem Shirazi and other researchers)در اينجا سؤ الى مطرح است و آن اينكه آيا تعبير ((ازواجه امهاتهم )): ((همسران پيامبر مادران مؤ منين محسوب مى شوند)) با چيزى كه در چند آيه قبل گذشت تضاد ندارد؟ زيرا در آنجا مى فرمايد: ((كسانى كه گاهى همسرانشان را بمنزله مادر خود قرار مى دهند، سخن باطلى مى گويند، مادر آنها فقط كسى است كه از او متولد شده اند)) با اين حال چگونه همسران پيامبر كه مسلمانان از آنان متولد نشده اند مادر محسوب مى شوند؟ در پاسخ اين سؤ ال بايد به اين نكته توجه كرد كه خطاب مادر به يك زن يا بايد از نظر جسمانى باشد يا روحانى ، اما از نظر جسمانى تنها در صورتى اين معنى واقعيت دارد كه انسان از او متولد شده باشد، و اين همان است كه در آيات پيشين آمده كه مادر جسمانى انسان تنها كسى است كه از او متولد شده است ، و اما پدر يا مادر روحانى كسى است كه يكنوع حق معنوى بر او داشته باشد، همچون پيامبر (صلى اللّه عليه و آله و سلّم ) كه پدر روحانى امت محسوب مى شود، و هم به خاطر او همسرانش احترام مادر را دارند.
'A question arises here that isn’t the explanation of the verse (and his wives are their mothers) against the verses mentioned before. Because there it is mentioned ‘Those who declare their wives as their mothers, and in fact they use false words, their mothers are only the ones who bore them.’ In this situation, how can the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) be considered the mothers of the believers. This point should be noted in answering the question at hand that addressing a woman as mother is either due to biological relation,
or spiritual relation. This meaning could be only in the case of biological relation, and this is the same thing which is mentioned in the earlier verses, that a person’s biological mother is only the one who bore him. But the spiritual mother and father are those who have a kind of special right over them,
as the Prophet (peace be upon him) is considered the spiritual father of the nation, and due to him, his wives hold the respect which a mother holds.[Tafsir al-Amthal Fi Tafsir al-Qur'an/Tafsir Namuneh, Vol. 17, p. 180]
The matter of fact is that the verse proves the veneration of the status of the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him). It is also proven from the authentic books of Shias that 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) specifically held this status of respect even after the battle of Jamal, yet most Rafidah scholars - due to their hatred of Islam and due to the fact that they can't attack the Prophet's personality directly, so they try to attack him indirectly by accusing his wives and almost every single companions of his all sorts of crimes -deny the obvious veneration (takfrim/ta'dhim) that the verse contains for the the Mother of the Believers.
