The consequences of Umar's actions against Hazrat Zahra (sa)

It is indeed unfortunate that this violent act of Umar set a precedent for future khalifa's, namely that a khalifa should secure bayya at all costs, and by whatever means he wishes albeit through intimidation, threats and violence. If threats could be made to the daughter of Rasulullah (s) then threats could be made to anyone. This is why the Salaf Imams / Khalifas that followed deemed Umar's actions as a model of best practice; a precedent had been set namely that it was lawful for duress to be used to secure compliance.

That is why we had the fasiq 6th Imam of Ahl'ul Sunnah Yazeed seeking to secure the bayya of Imam Husayn (as) who could point to Umar's actions as proof of the correctness of such an approach - namely that it was perfectly okay to terrorise Ahl'ul bayt to get your way. It is indeed tragic that the fire that Umar brought to the house of Sayyida Fatima (s) set a chilling precedent, and left a trail that lit the tents belonging to Sayyida Fatima's daughters on the 10th of Muharram.


Hajjaj bin Yusuf adopted similar methods of intimidation to quell opponents, and indeed this 'legitimate approach' continues until today. (Hajjaj bin Yusuf committed purges and genocide of men just like Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) did in Europe, women and children were killed, human beings insanely tortured though this is forbidden in Islam, killing hundreds of thousands of Muslims down to babies. He is applauded by many Sunnis today as he did some work on the grammar of the Qur'an! Oh yes, that forgives all, doesn't it! He was just a boy having a tantrum!). If today the masses complain of oppression and intimidation by their rulers they should know that their rulers' actions are perfectly lawful since they are adhering to the Sunnah of the Shaykhain.


The Arab world has been ruled by many terrorists who they have hailed as heroes and years later they have glorified them with romantic fairytales�history is, after all, written by victors, and the victors in this context were the Nasibis. You may applaud them, as some Nasibis have, but whatever you feel inside, terrorism is against the laws of Allah (sawt) and His Prophet, and the terrorist burns in Hell where Allah (sawt) will terrorise him.


Now we can see where Hajjaj, Saddam and Usama bin Ladin get their bad habits. There are some Muslims in this day and age who applaud terrorists who kill innocent women and children. There are others who don't like to condemn them, even though deep down they know it's wrong, simply because they get a kick out of getting their own back against their persecutors. There are others who will cover up their actions. And so it is with the Nawasib and their ugly past.

EID E GHADEER 1433 HIJRI MUBARAK TO YOU ALL

  

It is narrated in a Hadith e Qudsi, that Allah (twt) said:
لو اجتمع الناس كلهم على ولاية علي ما خلقت النار
“If people would gather on the wilayat of Ali (as), I wouldn’t create the Fire”.
( Ref : Biharul Anwar  Vol 39 Pg 247 ) 



Why do Shias celebrate Eid-e- Ghadeer? 

A question that the general Muslims often pose to the Shias – Why do Shias celebrate Ghadeer? What is so significant about the event that merits such pomp and splendor?
18th Zilhajj is the great day which the Shias consider as Eid-e-Ghadeer and celebrate by creating an atmosphere of extreme elation. Some people begin their preparations well in advance for this joyous occasion. The effort and hard work of innumerable researchers and scholars are devoted to this event.
An Objection
An objection is often raised as to why so much physical and mental effort is lavished on this event. If similar effort and hard work is instead invested in ironing out flaws related to education and society, it will be more beneficial for Muslims. After all, which social problem has been solved by the annual celebration of Ghadeer? What good has it done to the community by persistently confirming the successorship and absolute mastership of Ameerul Momineen Ali b. Abi Talib (a.s.)? Is it not better that we find a remedy to the various problems plaguing Muslims and let bygones be bygones?
This is not a new objection. The enemies of the Shia Isna Ashariah have made an issue out of this for several generations. Not surprisingly, the enemies have raised the objection keeping in mind the Shiite ideology. In this regard, they have learnt the tricks from the enemies of Islam because when the enemies of Islam and the Majestic Quran raise objections against Islam, they use similar tactics. For example, they say that why do we spend so much effort and wealth on religious customs such as prayers, fasting, recitation of Quran, etc. instead of spending it on economic growth and advancement of the community. Honestly speaking, by visiting the House of Allah every year and by persistently establishing the veracity of Quran and Islam, which of the ever-increasing problems and tribulations of the community has been resolved?
