Ramadan: shia/sunni question number 2?

Walaikum Assalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. The first Question is an open challenge to ALL shias from 'time immemorial'! Lol Can the Shia produce even a single verse outlining Imamah, without any additions to the translation, without parenthetical insertions to the translation, without Hadith to “support” their interpretation, without Tafseer, and without their own personal commentaries leading us from verse to verse?

BUT! When the Shia is forced to produce the Quranic verses without any additions, he will find it impossible to even come close to fulfilling the “Quran Challenge.” Not a single verse in the Quran says anything even remotely close to “O believers, after the Prophet, there will be twelve Imams chosen by Allah and you should follow them.

The Shia can never produce a single verse in the Quran that shows anything even similar to this. In fact, the Shia will be forced to produce long Tafseer and circuitious arguments involving certain verses with added meanings to them; but if we ask the Shia to simply read the verse without any insertions, then suddenly they cannot produce even a single verse in the Quran to justify Imamah. Suffice to say that the Shia becomes polemically incapacitated if he is forced to use the Quran and Quran alone.

Second question: I wish to quote from a famous shia'ite book, Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 126: With regard to me, two categories of people will be ruined, namely he who loves me too much and the love takes him away from rightfulness, and he who hates me too much and the hatred takes him away from rightfulness. The best man with regard to me is he who is on the middle course. So be with him and be with the great majority of Muslims because Allah’s hand of protection is on keeping unity.

You should beware of division because the one isolated from the group is a prey to Satan just as the one isolated from the flock of sheep is a prey to the wolf. Beware! Whoever calls to this course of sectarianism, kill him, even though he may be under this headband of mine.

(Source: Al-Islam.org http://www.al-islam.org/nahjul/126.htm) Based on this, we know that a Muslim must stick with the main group of Muslims (i.e. The Jama’ah) and not break away by joining the small sects. Could it be any clearer than this?

The “great majority of Muslims” belong to the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah. This is not a sect, but rather this is the main group (Jama’ah). Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah functionally translates to “orthodoxy of the Muslims” and it is merely a term used to differentiate the main group from the smaller sects that have broken away after the death of the Prophet (?).

We must destroy all false beliefs that were added into Islam after the death of the Prophet (?). We must be of the Muwahiddoon (the Unitarians of Islamic faith), who are the rejectors of sects. Allah Almighty says in the Quran: “This Day I have perfected your Deen for you and chosen Al-Islam to be your Deen.” (Quran, Surah Maidah) Nothing can be added or subtracted to Islam after this proclamation, and yet this is exactly what these various sects have done.

Allah says in the Quran: And hold fast, all of you together, by the Rope of Allah and be not divided amongst yourselves.” (Quran).

You know I respected you because I thought you were ... whatever you were. I don't understand why some people don't understand quran 6:159 as well as quran 25:63.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
