Chrysalis, I do not love everyone who had simply been with the prophet (sawa). There is no reason for that. Many of Monafeghin used to accompany the prophet. Therefore, BEING with the prophet PHYSICALLY does not bring any justifiable value for being beloved of Muslims. My love after Allah (swt) is towards His infallible prophet (sawa) and infallible Ahlul-Bayt (as). This is my ONLY beloved source who defines the real means of following and religion for me. These infallibles are the prophet (sawa), Fatima (as) and 12 Imams neither one person more nor less. |
Ridiculous. There is a difference b/w people who surrounded the Prophet physically, and those that were his circle of trust. I was clearly referring to the sahaba he trusted, and loved. And it is those sahaba that we take religion from. . . rather than restrict our religion to a favoured, rare few (not to mention imaginery, ordinary, error prone Imams, who will 'come' ages and ages AFTER Prophet Muhamamad perfected Islam)
So the 12 imams that will eventually come into this world, as ordinary human biengs, are better Muslims than the Prophet's wives and his trusted companions? Your loyalty and trust is misplaced my friend, grossly.
We do not love anyone that Prophet Muhammad never loved. And we love everyone whom he loved (Abu Bakr, Umar, Usman, Ali, Fatima, Aisha, Hassan, Hussain (R.A) inclusive) There is a difference b/w these Sahaba, and just any random bedoiun/nonmuslim the Prophet may have seen/met/been with (like u suggest)
This is a typical response the Shia give, when we talk about Prophet Muhammad's Companions and his wives. Apparently, according to you guys, they are to be equated with Munafiqeen? Aazubillah. Since this does not seem to sink in for you guys, let me give you an example:
An example of a Munafiq: Abullah bin Ubai.
Mentionable facts: Allah told Prophet Muhammad about his hypocrisy/Munafqat, and the Prophet never trusted him, nor considered him his friend, nor did he ever entrust him with an Islamic task, never did he consult him, never did he love him. Abdullah Bin Ubai, was disliked by most muslims of the time. He was friend with the Kuffaar and a spy.
How do Umar, Abu Bakr, Aisha (R.A) fulfill the criteria of a Munafiq? When they were clearly trusted by the Prophet, and loved by him? You are suggesting just like Asda, that Prophet Muhamamd nauzubillah had bad judgement, and he married women that were nauzubillah bad muslims, and Allah let him make them Umhat-ul-Momineen.
Did or did not Prophet Muhamamd have good judgement of people?
Was he not infallible? If he was, then why would he make an error in judging not only one, but several of his beloved companions?
Was not Allah responsible in correcting Prophet Muhammad if he nazubillah committed a mistake?
Would Allah let 'evil' 'munafiq' people influence the Prophet?
If the answer to the above questions is 'Yes, Yes. Yes, No' - then trust in Allah and His judgement, and His Prophet's judgement, and accept the facts. . . and stop tainting otherwise good muslims, that is a sin.
Otherwise, To you be your Way, and to me mine.
