Curses from Shia brother
Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa
Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this
question:
Mr Burhan,
All your efforts to try and spread this wrong
and malicious messages wont bear fruit. In all centuries gone by there have
been a continuous legitimate line of Imams and their Dai's and many enemies,
Kafireens have tried to destroy and remove and annihilate the rightfulness
lineage starting from Ali (RA)who was the real and rightful caliph and Vasi of
Nabi Mohammad (SAW) and kafireens like Yazid and Muawiya not to forget the
three caliphs who all plotted to destroy but now all burn in hell. I curse them
all and you who write such emails and try to poison the minds of others. Your
rightful place is in hell and I promise you will surely get it in time to come.
MAY YOUR EVIL AND SATANIC INTENTIONS ARE NEVER
REALISED AND TRUTH PREVAIL.
MAY YOU DIE A PAINFUL DEATH
YOU ARE A KAFIR AND A NON BELIEVER OF
ALLAH

Answer:
Curses from Shia brother
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
My dear and beloved brother in Islam, it is only natural
that when the Truth of the Quran is presented to the one who sincerely believes
in a particular set of beliefs one is born and brought up in to challenge it
vehemently. Because the presented Truth
from the Quran is so overpowering and irrefutable, it is indeed only natural
that the person in the defence of the deen of his forefathers will revile,
rebuke, abuse and even curse the people who present him the Truth of the Quran;
for his knowledge base is founded upon what he has seen in his household, told
by his ‘priests’, and followed by his forefathers, etc. and not from the Source
of True Knowledge, The Glorious Quran. Thus brother, your reaction to the Truth of
the Quran is only natural and a sign of your sincere belief in the deen of your
forefathers that you grew up believing it to be the truth.
But Allah Subhanah is witness that umpteen times in the
annuls of history, it has often happened that when such sincere people who once
believed fervidly in the deen of their forefathers, strive to seek and
understand the Truth from the Knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah, they become
some of the best soldiers in the Cause of Allah Subhanah.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.572 Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘Those
who were the best in the pre-lslamic period of ignorance will be the best in
Islam, provided they comprehend the religious knowledge."
My dear and beloved brother, Allah is my witness, there
was a time when I too fervently believed in the falsehood propagated by the
supposed ‘holy men’ and followed by my forefathers for generations (and I
sincerely seek Allah’s repentance for my ignorance), reviled and rebuked and
abused and cursed the brothers who tried to present the Truth of the Quran to me! I was so sincere in my belief in the
falsehood I was born and brought up in that I was not even ready to allow the
brothers to speak to me about the Quran; for I was always told that our
self-invented ‘holy men’ were the only people authorized by Allah to understand
and explain the Quran! I was always told
by my elders that if I ever tried to get close to the guidance of the Quran
from others, I would be misguided! I,
like my elders and forefathers, religiously obeyed, followed, and submitted to
every word and deed of the ‘holy priest’ and his ‘royal’ family! I, like everyone else I grew up with,
unconditionally submitted to the whims and fancies of these ‘holy men’ without
question, regardless of the repression and oppression the subjugation to man brings
to man! I was always told and I
sincerely believed they were ‘men of God’ and could do no wrong; and it was our
duty unto Allah to follow and obey and submit to them unconditionally!
These supposed ‘men of God’ demanded awe and respect, and
we fulfilled their demands; they demanded money, and we paid them to their
hearts desire; they demanded that we bow down to them and we did; they demanded
that we prostrate ourselves to them and we did; they demanded we commit shirk,
(may Allah forgive me my deeds done in my days of ignorance) and we did!!! Time and time again, these self-invented
‘holy men’ promised us
All Praise is due to Allah Subhanah who had Mercy on me
and sent some amongst His true believers to present the Truth of the Quran to
me. Your reaction to our presentation of
Truth is merciful compared to the welcome I gave these well-wishing brothers
who came to me with the Quran! All
Praise is due to Allah Subhanah Alone Who guided these brothers and bestowed
them with patience and wisdom to confront and mitigate my hatred and abuse
towards them and anyone else who dared to challenge the falsehood I was born
and brought up in!
It took these brothers at least 18 long months of patience
to my absolutely ignorant and vile attitude to convince me to open the Quran
and read it with understanding, even only once; and the only reason I read the
Quran with understanding was to prove them false once and for all from the very
Quran they were inviting me to read and understand; for I absolutely and
sincerely believed that the ‘holy men’ followed by my forefathers for generations
were guiding us aright from the Holy Quran!
The Quran being the Message of our Lord and Creator guides
towards nothing but the Truth; and what remains after the Truth can only be
falsehood! All Praise is to Allah
Subhanah who had mercy upon me, and guided me to understand His Divine Message
of Guidance; without which, Allah is my witness, I would have been completely
and utterly ruined!
The brothers who presented the Truth of the Quran to me
never ever asked for a penny or any material reward for themselves whatsoever;
and when they saw that I had accepted the Truth, they went about their work in
the Cause of Allah searching for one more misguided soul they could invite to
the Truth of the Glorious Quran! Wherever they are, may Allah bless them and
have mercy upon them and reward them with the highest grades in His Realms of
Paradise in the Hereafter.
My dear and beloved brother, Allah is our witness, we wish
nothing but the best for you in this world and especially in the
Hereafter. If what we have said from the
Quran and Sunnah has hurt you in any way, we sincerely seek your forgiveness
and the forgiveness of Allah Subhanah; for that was never our intention. Our one and only intention was to present the
Truth of the Quran to you: to accept or reject the guidance of the Quran is a
decision every person has to make for himself, and it is this very decision
that will determine the success or failure of each individual in the Supreme
and Just Court of the Majestic Lord on the Day of Resurrection.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah
Kahf verse 29: Proclaim, “This (Quran) is the Truth from your Lord: now whosoever wills may accept it, and whosoever wills may reject it.” (As for
those who reject it) We have prepared for such workers of iniquity a fire whose
flames have encircled them. There, if they ask for water , they will be given a drink like the dregs of
oil, which will burn their mouths! What an evil drink, and what an evil abode!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah
Kahf verses 103-106: Tell them (O Mohamed), “Should We tell you who are the
most unsuccessful people and miserable failures in regard to their deeds? They
are those, all whose edeavours in the
worldly life, had gone astray from the
If one trusts,
obeys, and follows the guidance
and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), he can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger
(saws), he can be assured of being led
astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Burhan
