QTV is a private 24-hr. "Islamic" channel owned by the ARY Digital Networks, one of the most prominent entertainment powerhouse of Pakistan. ARY is a world-renowned gold brand, founded by nd abbreviated after Haji Abdur Rauf Yusuf.
QTV presents itself, and claims to be the only 24-hr. Islamic channel. Which it definitely is not. Why such a name has been adopted for a so-called "Islamic" channel? The answer: Money. Allah forbid, these people have made the deen of Islam into a commercial business. Everyday, you see promos of a new "Naat" or "Hamd" CD being released by another layman Qadri. So much passion, the outburst of the Nabi's love gets displayed in the output as mere screams and chants... For Allah's sake is this a joke? A name I would like to mention is Farhan Qadri (the youngster). Only Allah Knows what his intentions are. It's good that children in this age are creating love for Islam. But he doesn't recite, he screams and shouts. Though the words are beautiful, his style, expression, etc. is just too painful! For God's sake, if you don't have a good voice, then atleast limit your vocal limits instead of exceeding your vocal pitch to the point that it sounds like a riot (Allah forbid)!
I myself am an avid admirer of appraisals of Allah and His Habib (SAW). But the overly-joyous shouting by the reciters is nothing else but show and income. I feel very bad saying this, but from more than two years of observation, I think I know quite enough.
Beautiful reciters such as Abdur Rauf Rufi sahib, Qari Waheed Zafar Qasmi, Khurshid Ahmad (Marhoom), Zain Bhikha, Ahmad Bukhatir, etc. are some of the names that are definite exceptions. They were and are the real Aashiq-e-Rasool (Lovers of the Prophet (SAW)). Uwais Raza Qadri was fine at the beginning. His "An-nabi salloo alayhi" is one of my favourite naats. But I recently came to know from some of my contacts that Uwais sahib had rejected an invitation by a majlis for naat-recitation because he wasn't getting paid enough! Furthermore, I've also heard that he charges Rs. 100,000+ for one of his mehfils. Astaghfaar!
Is this why they praise the Prophet (SAW)? To make it as a source of income? To pose themselves as lovers of the Prophet (SAW)?
Secondly, the owners of QTV (the ARY Group) are the very same people who own such channels as the FTV (Fashion TV) Pakistan, The Musik, ARY Shopping Channel... Amazing! Are you getting my point?
It means that the money they earn from sleazy, disgusting and non-Islamic channels such as FTV Pakistan, The Musik and Shopping Channel, which also promote promiscuity, is being used (or atleast a portion) in funding for the QTV channel! HARAM MONEY!
Once, I was passing by some channels as usual and suddenly stopped my fingers at QTV. I saw the promotion of an exercising equipment (belt), and who else was promoting it but a typical cheaply-paid model wearing a kind of extended bikini and shorts. She was jumping up and down, strolling, running, twisting around... ON QTV!
Female naat-khwans come and recite... but with tonnes of makeup decorated. They were shiny, glamorous clothes. The Prophet (SAW), according to a hadi'th, had said that women and men alike should not wear glamorous clothes or tight clothes so as to attract the opposite gender and make fun of oneself. But this all happens in ARY's QTV!
Most of us know that Istikhara is a personal experience referring to the individual act of praying to Allah exclusively for His Help and Guidance. But according to QTV, it's easier to do it by calling at a special telephone number charged at Rs. 14 something + tax and then let some aamil to command the jinns under his possession to remove his grief. HOW DEVIANT!!
At the end, I would like to state a Qur'anic ayah, very relevant to such "propagation of Islam":
O YE WHO BELIEVE! TAKE NOT FOR FRIENDS AND PROTECTORS THOSE WHO TAKE YOUR RELIGION FOR A MOCKERY OR SPORT...
[Surah Al-Maeda - Ayah 57]
May Allah Protect Us From Such Hypcorisy!
Aameen!

Why don't you just mind your own business. Why talking about Qtv And Not talking about Peace tv and other channels? you just jelus. Is wearing a tie aloud in Islam? The answer is no. zakir nalaik also said may peace be upon him to yazeed.Astagfirullah.Think first. You don't have any proof that haram money goes to Qtv. Now music is Haram. Zain Bhikha Ahmed Bukhatir they all use music.
ReplyDeleteNow don't you ever think about Qtv.
Don't talk only about QTV. See, Peace TV. Shame On You Dr. Zakir Naik. You Are Not A Muslim. Just Doing All There Things For Money. You Even Don't Know Who Is YAZEED. Let Me Tell You. YAZEED IS THE BIGGET CRIMINAL WHO HAS ASSASINATED OUR BELOVED LEADER 'HUSSAIN'(PEACE BE UPON HIM).
ReplyDeleteAnd You Talk About Us. Yes. I Do Say "I Will Even Die For My Beloved Prophet And You Are The Guys Againts Us."
Q TV Is The One Which Has Made Our Hearts Sweet.
sameer kahtib sir,
ReplyDeletecome on u cannot justify bad by pointing fingers at something else.QTV is just creating fuss and nothing else it has made islam froam religion of action into religion of hymns and chants
Oh! You Too Cannot Justify That. You Have Started To Criticize And The One Who Criticizes is Not A Muslim.
ReplyDeleteWe Don't Care Whatever You Say. But, When You Point Us, We Have To Take Some Action. So, We Are Saying You Not To Point Us. Just Point Yourself First. You Great Dr.Zakir Naik, And A Big Fool Of Yazeed.
Now, You Say No Salam Should Be Recited. Let Me Tell You. Salam Is The First Thing Which Sahaba(Companions) Of The Holy Prophet(PBUH) Used To Do When They Came Before Him. If It Was Wrong, He Would Prohibit It From Doing. But, He Instead Used To Reply Them.
Now, What Does Qur'an Say About It. Qur'an Says, "INNALLAAHA MALAAIKATUHU YU SALLOONA ALAN NABI, YAA AYYU HALLAZEENA AAMANU SALLU ALAI HI WA SALLI MU TASLEEMA" Which Means. "Beshak Allahu Taala Aut Uske Farishte Aap Sallellaahu Alai He Wasallam Par Durrod O Salam Bhejtein Hai. Ai Eeeman Waalon, Tum Bhi, DUROOD O SALAM Bheja Karo"
It Says, DUROOD and Also SALAM. Now, You Say NO To Salam. So, The One Who Goes Reverse To Qur'an Is KAFIR. Its Proved That You People Are KAFIR.
QTV Has Naats. Naat Is The Sunnah. It Was Recited By OSMAAN(RAH ), ALI(RAH ), Abu Bakr(RAH ) etc.. You Are Going Reverse To That And You Are Not Following Prophets. YOU ARE KAFIR.
mohtaram sameer sahib,
ReplyDeletemain khud ahl-e-sunnat wal jamah se taluq rakhta hoon. to be very accurate, on the 15th of March, yaani chand din pehle, main apne chotay bhai ke saath humari gali ki masjid main mehfil-e-meelad main gaya.
plus, i am also practicing to be a naat-khwan someday, Insha'Allah.
the point of concern is only that the haram money coming from the memon-controlled qtv is clearly against islamic teachings. ARY channel nay hi FASHION TV aur THE MUSIK jaise fahaash channels bhi kholay huway hain. doosri taraf, unhi paison se woh QTV ko fund kartay hain. don't u see?
islam main, u cannot use haram means even to promote islam. your money should be purely earned and spent.
aagay aapki marzi. mera rab behtar jaanta hay ke main ne kitni research ke baad yeh brief sa article likha. i am Insha'Allah writing a full detailed article on this matter, with 100% references and proof. Insha'Allah then u might not have any problems believing me.

aap ka bhai,
zaki
Yaar, Assalam. Hamari Zindagi Hi Kitni Hai Aur Hum Hai Hi Kitne. Chodo QTV Ke Funds Ke Baare Mein. Leave About The Funds Of QTV. Un Ka Result Aakhirat Mein Ayega Na. Allah Knows What They Will Get. If They Are Doing Good, They Will Get Good Result In Aakhira. If Bad, Hell Will Be Their Destination.
ReplyDeleteLeave All These. QTV's Owner Is Also From Ahle Sunnat. Now, We Are Making Out Sunni Group To Get Bad Name. Yaar, Our Thing Is To See QTV And Become The Slave And Ashiq Of Out Prophet(PBUH). Don't Waste Time In Internal Matters of QTV. Whats The Profit With That? More and More, If You Tell That, All The People Will Leave Watching QTV. They Will Go Back In Islam And Shariat. Let The Funds Go Anywhere. Just Encourage People To Watch QTV Only On Basis That It Teaches Islamic Things.
Allah Hafiz. Hope You Will Leave Criticizing QTV Now.
bhaijan,
ReplyDeletemujhe ziddi mat kahiye ga. laykin main apni baat pe abhi bhi qayem hoon.
agar research nahin kare ga koi to nuksaan humara sab ka hay. Aap ne Abdullah bin Saba ka naam suna hoga? Woh badbakht jis ne Shiah firqa banaya. Woh aik Yahudi tha par woh Musalman honay ka naatak karta tha. Logon ne us zamany main us ki itni research nahin ki thi laykin nuksaan kya huwa? Behkaway main aakay log Shia hogaye...
anyways, zikr karna bohat umda cheez hay. Allah ko bohat pasand hay. Par aakhir main, baat wohi aagayi. Allah says in The Qur'an:
"Main ne jinns aur insaanon ko payda nahin kiya sivaye apni ibadat ke liye"
IBADAT is the first priority. Secondly, QTV main aik show aata hay "ROOHANI KHAZAIN" (something like that). Us ka jo host hay woh aaj kal Geo ke dramay "MERI ADHOORI MOHABBAT" main aik Hindu baap ka role ada kar raha hay. Shirk main to aa hi gaya woh. Aur qoh QTV main bhi kaam karta hay.
Anyways, I don't believe in firqa-parasti (sectarianism). My father was Ahl-us-Sunnah wal Jama'ah. My naanka is Doebandi. I pray in a Barelvi mosque. So, I am a mix of all these and hence I consider myself to be only a simple regular Muslim. Just a Muslim. Alhamdulillah.

ReplyDeleteEid E Meelad Un Nai Aap Ko Mubarak Ho,
Main Aap Se Sirf Ye Poochna Chaahta Hoon Ke QTV Pe Kya Be-Imaan Ke Programs Aarahain. Haan, Mujhe Maaloom Hai Ke Usko Funds Music TV or Doosre Channels Se Aate Hain.
Laikin, Ham Kitne Hain. Aap Ne Suna Hoga "Dr. Shykh-ul-Islam Muhammad ahir Ul Qadri" Ka Naam. Unka Ek Jalsaa QTV Ne Meelad Se Pehle, Lahore Me Rakha Tha. This was last year. While he was explaining the the name of MUHAMMAD(SAWS). The clouds formed themselve and MUHAMMAD Name Was Written in the clouds in Arabic. The Moon Was The "SWAD" og "SALLELLAAHU ALAIHI WA SALLAM".

This Means That Allah And his Prophet(PBUH) Are Accepting The QTV's Acts. Please, Don't Criticize Anyone. They Are Also From Ahle Sunnat. First, Let Us Be Perfect. If You Do This, It Will Create Some More Groups, Like QTV Group And ANTI-QTV Group.
Ye Bekaar Research Ke Time Mein 100 Bar Durood Padhe, Bada Sawaab Milega. At Least, Watch QTV In That Time, You Will Get Knowledge. No One Will Listen To You. If You Still Want To Go Ahead Criticizing Your Own Brothers. Then, Allah Is The Saviour.
first get this straight ur Dr Tahir ul Qadri..is not part of ahlesunant wal jamaat..
ReplyDeleteagar poochna hai to Syed Shah Turab ul Haq Qadri se pooch len..warna Ameere Ahlesunnat Wal Jamaat Maulan Ilyas Qadri se pooch le..ya phir Hazrat Akhtar Raza Khan Barelvi se pooch le..btw to the author..u cant be mix of deobandi and barelvi..btw barelvi and ahlesunnat wal jamaat(qadris) are the same thing..no difference..but deobandi have diffrnt belvs thts y we shudnt follow em..

dear brother Umer,
ReplyDeleteassalamu alaikum. thank u for ur comment.
just an advice though, rather, a request... plz write "Allah" with a capital A the next time...
thank you...
ur brother in Islam,
Zaki Khalid Iqbal Sharif
Assalaam to the author, I appreciate that you are very much interested in bringing the undistorted message of Islam but look at your own page of this article which says "Nation's hero - Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan" then it says "Insha'Allah, one day Pakistan will indeed become the centre of World Khilafah - The Caliphate of Pakistan".... I have a question here for you, are u ever aware of any Khalifah who was without a bread, wearing suit with a TIE ?.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure who this person is as I am not from Pakistan, he may be a very pious person, excellent by character and a helper of the poor by Allah's grace but that does not mean that he can get away with not portraying the basic qualities of being a pious muslim moreover a good Khalifah.
Like the other brother said first get yourself(ourself) right before pointing at others, if we are to find faults with one another then we would only indulge ourselves in doing it for quite a long time until we know that we really have lost a lot of time in debating and gathered nothing for the aakhirath. We would realize that we have wasted a long time only during the last few breaths(at death bed).
I agree Zakir Naik from Peace TV is revered by a lot of people from his Jam'ath and disdained by the Ahl-e-Sunnath-Wal-Jam'ath for his portrayal of being a muslim in a westerners attire and not showing due respect to the great Shaikhs of Islam after the Tab-e-Tabiyeen period which is evident from his comment on yazid and naming the Karbala battle as a political battle.
Regarding the Naat Khwans raising their voice so high in an unpleasant tone is I guess is more like a wajd just to make the Hamd-o-Sana of Habibullah (S.A.W) great and keep echoing if not the whole naat at least the main character(Habibullah (S.A.W)) of the naat, if you are to suppress this then you would also have an objection to Azaan being recited so high in some Masajid with a hi-fi echoing loud speaker in which the Kalima is recited so high that if you stand near the loud speaker you be disgusted because of the sound it produces but can you say I am disgusted because the Kalima is recited so loud ?
The female naat khwans do come in with tonnes of make-up with shiny and glamorous attire, they are females they can/will always try to look good, it is up to us about how strong is our Imaan, if our Imaan is strong enough then we would not consider to even glancing them once.
Whichever Imaam one follows, whichever Jam'ath one belongs to, just keep stuck to your Imaam and Jam'ath because the yahood, nasaara, kuffar, mushrik and munafiq are only looking for such differences amongst us Muslims to break us still further.
Allah Hafiz,
Assalaathu wassalaamu alan Nabiyul Mustafal Muqtaar Sayyidina Muhammadin Salallahu alaihi wa aalihi wa ahl-e-baithihi wa sallam.

Dear brother Nawaz Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteAssalamu Alaikum wa RahmatAllah
First of all, wishing you a very happy EID.
Now coming to your comment, you tried to create an impression when you said “Nation’s Hero – Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan” was posted on the blog. I hint you wanted to ask me why I think that way. Is that it? I’m still not sure… what are you trying to ask when you mentioned the above statement? Please reply to me later.
If you are a Muslim from the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamah, I would like to present just some hadith which prophesize the Revival of Khilafah. Before that, why Khilafah is necessary? Because it is the Crown of the Ummah. Democracy is a sham. The term and its methodologies in themselves are shirk. The word “Democracy” comes from two Latin words: “demos” meaning “people” and “cracius” meaning “rule”. In short, “rule of the people”, which is totally against the ayahs of The Qur’an in which Allah says “Sovereignty (al-haakamiyya) belongs to Allah alone and for mankind is khilafat”
(Surah Yousuf Verse 40, Surah Bani Israel Verse 111, Al Kahaf verse 26)
What is Khilafah? Is it the system of perfect justice propounded by Allah Himself which the kafirs so feel threatened by and hence treacherously had it demolished through the freemason Ataturk? Indeed so.I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but you don’t need to cry that we never had a khalifa without bread, suit and tie i.e. without a posh life. That’s just the beauty of Khilafah. If the Khalifa is doing wrong, only he’s accountable for his deeds to Allah and only he does sin. Wheras if we (the masses of the Ummah) collectively do shirk and don’t do collective taubah, like that of Prophet Yunus’ nation, and still keep embracing “democracy”, “socialism”, etc. we will ALL BE DOOMED FOR ALLAH’S WRATH. WE ARE ALL ACCOUNTABLE. There are not always mishaps… history has proven that there were more good Khalifahs in number than the bad ones. This maginificence prompted Phillip K. Hitti to write several beautiful stories and real historical events of life under various khalifahs. It was a khalifah who established the “Moorish” Umayyad empire in Spain (Andalusia, Cordoba, Grenada, etc.) It was a Khalifa who had built the Dar ul Ilm in Baghdad from where countless eminent scholars emerged.
A prophecy by the Prophet (pbuh) for the future:
“… THEN THERE WILL BE KHILAFAH ON THE METHOD OF PROPHETHOOD”
(Musnad Ahmad)
The best thing about khilafah is, you don’t have to be insecure by custom-made, custom-tailored unjust laws made by a few bunch of elite individuals (bankers and financiers who have power worldwide). The outset does look amazing, the inside is sheer agony and shirk. How beautifully The Qur’an says that “Allah owns everything” (Al Maeda Verse 180) and that “Man is only a custodian” (Al Hadeed Verse 7). Only khilafah ensures that “No legislation will be done repugnant to The Qur’an and Sunnah” (Al e Imran verse 180, Al Hujurat verse 1) and that there is “no authoritarianism, mutual consultation” (Ash Shura Verse 38. This is probably one of the strongest points ever. No authoritarianism means no ruler or even Khalifah can solely have powers. They will be equally distributed. Why should there be no laws made which are not in accordance with The Qur’an and Sunnah? Because Allah says at several places in The Qur’an:
“....and they wish to go for judgment to the taghoot (those authorities
which govern in violation of Allah's laws) while they have been ordered to
reject them...” (4:60)
“...those who do not make decisions according to Allah's laws, are kafir”
(5:44)
“.... those who do not make decisions according to Allah's laws, are zalim
(mushrik)” -(5:45)
“..... those who do not make decisions according to Allah's laws, are fasiq
(disobedient”) - (5:47)
A SIMPLE QUESTION: Who is Al Aleem? Our presidents or the parliament who formulate laws or The Creator Himself who Created Us? I leave it up to you to decide.
Now regarding the other thing you said: ”First get youself right and then point at others”
By Allah, neither have I ever claimed to be a very pious and sinless person, neither will I say so because not only me, even the topmost momins used to say “We are sinful… we are sinful… Oh Allah! Please forgive us! We are sinful!” Even the Prophet (pbuh) himself used to do taubah several times a day. One hadith says 70 times, the other says 90. No matter which one is correct, it proves that no matter how clean and pure one is, he is always at the behest of Allah’s Mercy and can never just walk around and say with confirmation that “Hey, I’m sinless man!” So you tell me, did Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the Mercy for Mankind, need to do taubah? Try to absorb the wisdom in it. What you’re trying to tell me, is that one should already be free of sin and bad deeds before pointing at others. Hmmm… I guess if someone is RAPING a woman on the street, I shouldn’t stop him because I’m not of that level of goodness? Please, this one example in itself is logical enough. Our Prophet (pbuh) said in a hadith that if one sees something bad going on, he should stop it with his hands. If not, then with his tongue. If he can’t even stop it with his tongue, he should atleast curse it in his heart. The Blessings of Allah be Upon him, our Prophet (pbuh) gave us such a wonderful moral guard for use, yet we seem to just cry every day and night like the so-called “enlightened moderate Muslims” (seculars) who say “Hey… look at yourself first! Are you a sinless person?”
The Qur’an mentions the concept of amr bil-ma’roof wa nahi anil-munkar (Propagation of all that is good and prohibition of all bad) at several instances. It is a religious duty upon all of us. This is the biggest dilemma in the Ummah. We indeed try to propagate all that is good through various channels, articles, books, etc. and we never prohibit or atleast POINT AT all that is BAD. A tragedy indeed.
I can’t seem to understand what is so wrong in giving people information about whom the owners of the channel are, what their corporate-oriented fraud profiles are, the ARY Group, who paid millions of dollars to our current president Zardari in the 90s for allowing them to import gold to Pakistan, mostly as a monopoly, as reported in Pakistan’s National Accountability Bureau case report which started from the 10th of Sept. 05’ against Mr. ARY and other people. The same ARY Group, while on the one hand running a “religious” channel also ran the off-the-limits episode on one of its programs “Talking Divas” in 2006-07, which is aired from Britain, in which a gay and lesbian “Muslim” came to the show as guests. The show was hosted by three “divas” (imagine what their roles were). The shocking thing was that the gay man and the lesbian woman were distorting verses of The Qur’an to “prove” that there is “no prohibition of homosexuality in The Qur’an” (Allah forbid!) and that such phenomenons are “instinctive and GENETICALLY present”. You can do a simple Google search and find out after careful analyses that there is no such thing as being a GENETICALLY-PRONE GAY OR LESBIAN. All these are self-created, self-fostered phenomenons, just like the people of Prophet Lut’s nation used to do. And all this was being said on ARY DIGITAL! Then one last example, that of FTV (Fashion TV), the cursed channel with cursed people who have instigated the “upbringing” of Pakistani “fashion” with half-naked women sleazily walking on ramps. To Hell with such Hypocrites who on the one hand teach something else on QTV while on the other hand have something else to say on FTV and ARY.
You say that “we would realize we have wasted a long time only during the last few breaths”. I have mentioned The Qur’an’s stance on the pointing and prohibition of badness above. I don’t consider myself to waste my time. Allah Knows how I spend my average day. I am also an active da’ee for the revival of Khilafah and spreading the deen of Islam’s teachings (by the Grace of Allah). I think your “naat khwans” are wasting their times because though they ARE doing a beautiful deed, they should DO SOMETHING PRACTICAL and STRUGGLE-ORIENTED also instead of LIVING TILL THEIR LAST DAYS IN COUNTLESS SEAMS OF IDIOTICALLY-SPIRITUAL WORLDS. Get over the spiritual side for Allah’s sake! They are good things, but are best when within limits. One should balance things, instead of going in EXCESS of them, mostly of which are neo-platonic concepts of belief.
Regarding Dr. Zakir Naik. For one, listen, many high-ranking scholars have given fatwas on Khomeini because of his constant blasphemy against Ummul Momineen Hazrat Ayesha (May Allah be Pleased With Her) and against the first three Rightful Caliphs (Khulafa e Rashidoon Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman). I request you to kindly read the aqeedah of Shias here:
http://islamicweb.com/beliefs/cults/shia.htm
or you can search for the 'Shia' section there
The Shias have themselves invented the false history of “Yazeed” being responsible for the martyrdom of Hussain (May Allah Be Pleased With Him). This is a centuries-old unconfirmed statement that has ever-so grown itself out, that even you might think I am some freak from a weird cult. But I don’t care what others think. If me and people like me who investigate and search for the truth finally found out the right history, its our duty to inform everyone. Do you think Dr. Zakir Naik is a worthless and stupid person because he said that the whole incident was political? No!
But terming Yazeed bin Muawiya as a “momin” or “kaafir” is not the fundamental priority and concern of religion. So I ask you, kindly DO SOME RESEARCH AND THEN REACH CONCLUSIONS. Kindly go through Ayah 6 of Surah Hujurat . May Allah Reward You. And remember, there are a lot of disinfo agents on the Net. I also advise you to verify what EVEN I MYSELF AM SAYING to fulfill the spirit of the ayah above so that you can know that I hold good intentions.
Our Prophet (pbuh) gave the good news of Jannah for the person who would “conquer the land of Qaiser” i.e. the land to which Alexander the great belonged. An expedition did go there and among all others, both Hazrat Hasan and Hazrat Hussain (May Allah be Pleased With Them Both), the blessed grandsons of the Prophet (pbuh) were present in the team of the expedition. Do you know who was the leader of that very expedition? It was none other than… Yazeed bin Muawiya himself. That means, it was HE who has the good news of Jannah, whereas the filthy Rafidi (Shias) malign and SWEAR at him without any references AT ALL that Hazrat Hussain was killed by Yazeed. Yazeed bin Muawiya was from the Banu Umayya clan, and a cousin of Hazrat Uthman (May Allah Be Pleased With Him). The Shias even vilify Hazrat Uthman. They have nothing else to do!
Click the link to the articles below which prove that Hussain (May Allah Be Pleased With Him) was killed by the Shias themselves:
http://www.ahlelbayt.com/articles/history/ashura
Heck, the Shia cult was founded by a Jew named Abdullah ibn Saba (who was a Jew from Yemen) who had supposedly “converted to Islam”. If you want detailed insight, please go through this beautiful article:
“ORIGINS OF THE SHIA SECT”
http://www.theunjustmedia.com/Islamic%20Perspectives/Feb%202008/Origins%20of%20the%20Shia%20Sect.htm
Furthermore, to authenticate this research, if you still have doubts from a Muslim source, here is the link to the official report on Abdullah ibn Saba in the Jewish Encyclopedia website, which also establishes the fact that it was ABDULLAH IBN SABA WHO FOUNDED THE SHIA SECT. Please click the link below:
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=189&letter=A&search=Abdullah bin Saba
As for what the Shia think of us, here are some beliefs:
The Shi'ites say this regarding Sunni Muslims "Although Allah, the Exalted, has not created a creature worse than a dog, yet a Nasbi (ie. A Sunni) is worse than even a dog." (Haqqul Yakeen (Persian) Vol 2, P. 516) Here the Shi'ites have said that Sunni Muslims are worse than Dogs!
The Shi'ites say that we will never go to Paradise! "It is contained in several sources of information that they, (the assumed Imams of Shias) said: 'Should every angel that Allah, the Exalted and Gracious, has created, every prophet that Allah has appointed, every truthfull martyr, (collectively) pray to Allah, the Exalted and Gracious, to release a Nasbi (a Sunni) from the Hell, Allah would never release him." (Haqqul-Yaqeen, (Arabic), Vol. 2 P. 192) This is what the Shi'ites realy think about us!!! They say that if anyone who is a Sunni Muslim will go to Hell!!! Don't these Shi'ites know what they are saying??
This is what the Shi'ites say will happen when their so-called Imams will return "When Qaem alaihissalam appears, he will start slaughtering Sunnis and their Ulema before slaughtering the infidels (kuffar)." (By the term "Quem" the Shi'ites mean Imam Mahdi, their twelveth Imam) So here the Shi'ites state that we are not Muslims, and that we are worse than the infidels (kuffar)
The Shias believe in Taqiyyah (hiding the truth and to lie), according to their book Usul-e-Kafi. Furthermore, according to them, 9/10th of Deen is Taqiyyah. This means they actually hid the truth of Yazeed and made him a killer (Allah forbid).
They say that “one should dissociate with the 4 idols: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan, Muawiyya and 4 women Ayesha, Hafsa, Harid, Umm-al-Hakam” (Haqqul Yaqeen- Vol. 2 P519/ Furru Kaafi P342 Vol 3/ Jilaa - ul- Uyoom -P45 - 46/ Hayaatul Quluub P 375)
Furthermore, they say that one should curse the above 4 after each prayer (Ainul Hayaa P559) Astaghfirullah! Are these the people on whose theory you believe?

Here’s what Imam Bukhari of the Sahih Bukhari hadiths has to say regarding Shias:
It’s a fatwa:
“I don’t see any difference between praying Salah behind a Jahmi or a (Shia) Rafidhi and a Christian or a Jew. They (Jahmis/Rafidhis) are not to be greeted, nor are they to be visited, nor are they to be married, nor is their testimony to be accepted, nor are their sacrifices to be eaten.”
(Khalq Af’aalul-’Ibaad, p.14)
REGARDING THE ISSUE OF NAAT-KHWANS:
Noise is wajd? Since when is noise that makes one feel uneasy ever even logically or religiously “wajd”? Isn’t there another means of reciting beautiful chants and hymns? Again I say this, many naat-khwans nowadays scream to the top and every word has so much echoes with full-fledged flangers bouncing off every direction… please, use common sense that Allah Has blessed you with and realize that there are no alternatives to such bizarre acts.
You tried to “logically” explain with the example of the adhaan in this matter. For your information, Islamic History records a very famous event, in which during the Caliphate of Hazrat Umar (May Allah Be Pleased With Him), there was a man (I forgot his name) who had a sore and faulty voice. Now see, it’s Allah’s Will that he did not get a good voice. The Creator made him by His Own Will. That man was once passing by a group of caravans and was reciting the adhaan out loud (in his sore voice). Much to his surprise, a Jew came to him with some gifts, mostly in gold. Upon this, the man enquired why he was being presented with such lofty items. The Jew replied:
“My daughter had plans to accept Islam for quite some days now. But thanks to you, after listening to your adhaan, she HAS CHANGED HER MIND”!!
This means that his sore voice changed the woman’s mind to accept Islam. It’s very simple: If you are not blessed with something, leave it, pray for it or search for alternatives! Even The Qur’an explains this issue:
“And be moderate in thy pace, and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt is the braying of the ass” (Surah Luqman, Ayah 19)
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE ABOVE AYAH:
I will not quote this ayah out of context (the one mentioned above). I will Insha’Allah try to mention some of the background to this ayah. This is part of the advice given by Hazrat Luqman the Sage to his son regarding the deeds and characteristics of a momin. Because if you read a bit up on Surah Luqman ayah 12, Allah says that “We bestowed (in the past) wisdom on Luqman” This means whatever he (Luqman) was saying was a result of Allah’s wisdom, not just random advice. You can read similar ethical/moral advice in ayahs above ayah 19 also. Insha’Allah you will see for yourself what Luqman the Sage had to say. So this is in regards to the “noise” and “screams” issue.
THE FEMALE NAAT-KHWANS ISSUE:
Islam, in The Qur’an and Hadith, does not merely prescribe limits related to physical/spiritual acts upon females, but also upon males as well. In this regard, men and women both have designated obligations to undertake. To quote your saying:
“The female naat khwans do come in with tonnes of make-up with shiny and glamorous attire, they are females they can/will always try to look good, it is up to us about how strong is our Imaan, if our Imaan is strong enough then we would not consider to even glancing them once”
Brother, kindly read carefully through what you have mentioned yourself. Do you agree? Yes, indeed it is a God-given instinct in females that they try to look good, there’s no harm in that EXCEPT for WHO they are beautifying themselves up for. They can ONLY beautify themselves up for their husbands, not even in front of their fathers and brothers. There is a hadith which mentions that Asma, the daughter of Abu Bakr and sister of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Ayesha came in the presence of the Prophet (pbuh). At the time, she was wearing thin and a bit transparent clothes. The Prophet (pbuh) at once turned his blessed face away and pointed towards his face and hands, indicating that except the hands and face, nothing of the Muslim woman is allowed to be seen (by a non-mahram). Other hadith also mention that women AND MEN ALIKE are not permitted to wear TIGHT, OVERLY-GLAMOROUS clothing so as to attract the opposite sex. I ask, why the mimicry of the female presenters on Saudi channels? If you REALLY DO intend on doing da’wah or reciting chants for women, then women can call them at home or arrange seminars in each others’ houses. Their coming on TV for “information” for no definite alternative choice proves that they have the greed for promotion and publicity, like many of their male counterparts too. Furthermore, today's age is such that the majority of people are such who cannot protect their iman when they watch ANY woman on TV. Allah forbid! I would like to mention here a latest on the host of the QTV program “Roohani Dunya”. The former host used to talk very politely, “Salam sister, yes, yes, May Allah reward you, yeah, this, that, what how…” And now, I saw him on a drama serial aired on Geo TV titled “Meri Adhoori Mohabbat” (My Lost Love) in which he plays the role of an angry brother of a Hindu girl who falls in love with a Muslim man. Sheesh!
You said:
“Whichever Imaam one follows, whichever Jam'ath one belongs to, just keep stuck to your Imaam and Jam'ath because the yahood, nasaara, kuffar, mushrik and munafiq are only looking for such differences amongst us Muslims to break us still further”
You are right. I don’t think I have targeted any “Imam” or “Jamaat” (as can be seen in the article). Read some of the comments above that which you have given… one of the “Aashiq-e-Rasool” made some strong comments for me. An obviously disillusioned brother, for whom I pray to Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala to Guide him.
At the end, I hope and pray to Allah Ta’ala that I conveyed to you (properly) my views and what I strongly feel is correct.
Appreciate your generous comment.
May Allah Ta’ala forgive me for any possible mistakes.
A bit about me: I am 19 years old, was born in Al Ain, U.A.E. and shifted to Lahore, Pakistan in 2005. Am currently a student of Software Engineering. Still have a long way to go to obtain knowledge of deen and obtain hidayah. May Allah Help me and Guide me. Aameen!
