When was the Shiite sect established?

A QUESTION BY; SURAN

 

THE ELABORATION OF THE QUESTION

When and how was the Shiite sect established and how can we say that more than a billion Moslems are wrong but the minority of the Shiites are right?

RESPONSE

Our dear friend at first, we should say to you that in the logic of Qur’an never the majority is the clear mark of truthfulness as Allah the Almighty in every places of the holy Qur’an has stated to this point that

Allah the Almighty has stated 15 times in the holy book that

Most of them do not know

In the holy chapters; Anam  (The Cattle) / 37, Araf (The Elevated) /131, Anfal (The Spoils of War) /34, Yunus / 55

And also He states in two cases that

Most of them do not think

The holy chapters; Ankabut (The Spider)/ 63. Al-Hujurat ( The Chambers)/ 4

From the other side if we take a look around then we will see that the majority of the world population consists of the Christians

According to the probes conducted by the global experts and statisticians and the conclusions drawn from these statistics and information of various countries the followers of the Christianity religion contains 33% of the whole population of the world right now, while the Moslems includes 21% of the world population and they are in the second rank

Thus if the majority is the criteria of truthfulness and we regard a group truthful merely as a result of the greater number of its members then you have to become Christian since according to your own view is it possible that 33% of the world population was wrong and 21% was right

-Wikipedia; 2005

If you be just and fair you will find out that you are making mistakes

But the real reason that why the population of the Sunnites is more than Shiites it requires a single discussion and it has various reasons now it is beyond our discussion and we can discuss about that later if you like to

But you have attributed the establishment of the truthful religion of Shiite to Safaviah this is injustice itself and we regard your remarks due to the lack of your knowledge pertaining to History and the points which have been mentioned in your own books then in order to make clear any ambiguity please pay attention to the below points

قال تعالى ( إن الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات أولئك هم خير البرية ) . لما نزلت هذه الآية قال الرسول لعلي يا علي ( ع ) هم أنت و شيعتك .

 ‘’As for, those who believe and do good, surly they are the best of men’’

The chapter Bayyinah ( The Clear Evidence) verse 7

 When the verses ‘’As for, those who believe and do good, surly they are the best of men’’ has been revealed the holy prophet of GOD (peace and bless of GOD be upon him and his progeny) stated to the commander of the faithful (peace be upon him) that; the real intent of this verse is you and your Shiites

... أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب قال قال رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) يا علي إذا كان يوم القيامة يخرج قوم من قبورهم لباسهم النور على نجائب من نور أزمتها يواقيت حمر تزفهم الملائكة إلى المحشر فقال علي تبارك الله ما أكرم هؤلاء على الله قال رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) يا علي هم أهل ولايتك وشيعتك ومحبوك يحبونك بحبي ويحبوني بحب الله هم الفائزون يوم القيامة .

The commander of the faithful (peace be upon him) stated that; one day, the holy prophet of GOD (peace and bless of GOD be upon him and his progeny) stated to me that; O Ali, when the Day of Judgment comes some men come out from their own graves while their cloths are from the light and they are riding the camels from the light and their bridles are from ruby and the angels are along with them to the scene of Mahshar and I said that the blessed and supreme Lord  how honorable they are in the eye of Allah the Almighty then in this moment the holy prophet of GOD (peace and bless of GOD be upon him and his progeny) stated that; those are the men who accepted your Imamate and Velayat and they are your friends and lovers and they love you for the sake of my friendship and they love me since they love Allah the Almighty and they will be saved in the resurrection day

-History of Medina Damascus v 42 p 332; under the translation of Amir-al-Momeneen


روى ابن عساكر بإسناده عن جابر بن عبد اللّه، قال: كنّا عند النبي صلى اللّه عليه وسلّم، فأقبل علي بن أبي طالب، فقال رسول اللّه: «قد أتاكم أخي، ثمّ التفت الي‏الكعبة فضربها بيده. ثمّ قال: والذي نفسي بيده، إنّ هذا وشيعته لهم الفائزون يوم القيامة.

ثمّ قال: إنّه أوّلكم إيماناً معي، وأوفاكم بعهد اللّه، وأقومكم بأمر اللّه، وأعدلكم في الرعيّة، وأقسمكم بالسويّة، وأعظمكم عند اللّه مزية». قال: وفي ذلك الوقت نزلت فيه: (إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّلِحَتِ أُولَئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ). البيّنة:7/98.

كان أصحاب محمد صلى اللّه عليه وسلّم إذا أقبل علي قالوا: قد جاء خير البرية.

Ibn Asaker has quoted from Jaber Ibn Abd Allah Ansari via his own proof that he said; we were in the presence of the holy prophet of GOD then suddenly Ali (peace be upon him) came in then in this moment the holy prophet of GOD stated that; your brother came, then he turned to Kaaba ( the temple of Mecca) and touched that and stated that I swear to GOD that my life is in his hand indeed this man and his Shiites will be save in the Day of Judgment

Then the holy prophet stated that; Ali is the man who believed in me and he is the most trustworthy man to the divine promise and the most steadfast man among all of you pertaining to the religions laws and the most righteous man pertaining to the inferior ones and the most just man among you and he is superior and more merit in the eyes of Allah the Almighty

Jaber says that; in this time the verse ‘’As for, those who believe and do good, surly they are the best of men’’ has been revealed pertaining to the dignity of Ali (peace be upon him) and when Ali (peace be upon him) comes the companions of the holy prophet of GOD said the best servant of GOD came

   The rise of Shiites according to the narrations of the Sunnites

Ibn Khaldon says that;

مبدأ دولة الشيعة: اعلم أنّ مبدء هذه الدولة، أنّ أهل البيت لمّا توفي رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه وسلّم كانوا يرون أنّهم أحق بالأمر وأنّ الخلافة لرجالهم دون سواهم من قريش.

وفي قصّة الشورى أنّ جماعة من الصحابة كانوا يتشيعون لعلي ويرون استحقاقه على غيره ولمّا عدل به إلى سواه تأففوا منه وأسفوا له مثل الزبير ومعه عمار بن ياسر والمقداد بن الأسود وغيرهم.

Ibn Khaldun says pertaining to the origin of Shiites that

And know that the origin of Shiites is that when the holy prophet of GOD (peace and bless of GOD be upon him and his progeny) passed away, Ahl Al-Bayt considered the Caliphate as their certain right and also believed that the men of Bani Hashem are the most merit man for the Caliphate and no other Qraysh men has no right

In the story of consul some of the companions were considered as the Shiites of Ali (peace be upon him) and believed that no other man except Ali (peace be upon him) is merit to become Caliph and when another man except Ali became the Caliph then they expressed their own hatred and regret such as Zobayr, Amar Ibn Yaser, Meqdad Ibn Asvad and the others

-History of Ibn Khaldun v 3 p 171

Master Mohammad Abd Allah Anan says that

من الخطأ أن يقال : إن الشيعة ظهرت ولأول مرة عند انشقاق الخوارج . بل كان بدء الشيعة وظهورهم في عصر الرسول ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ) حين أمره الله بإنذار عشيرته في الآية 214 من الشعراء : (وأنذر عشيرتك الأقربين) ولبى النبي فجمع عشيرته في بيته وقال لهم مشيرا إلى علي : هذا أخي ووصيي وخليفتي فيكم فاسمعوا له وأطيعوا.

It is a mistake if we say that Shiites origin was dated to the plot of Khavaraj (apostate) rather than the Shiite was rooted in the age of the holy prophet of GOD’s life (peace and bless of GOD be upon him and his progeny) an din the early days of His Holiness’ prophecy it means when Allah the Almighty ordered His Holy prophet (guide your relatives and fear them from the punishment of the Day of Judgment) then the holy prophet of GOD obeyed the order of GOD and gathered his relatives in his own house while His Holiness was pointing to Ali (peace be upon him) with his hand and then stated to them; this man is my brother, heir and successor after me among you then obey and hear whatever he says

Abu Hatam Razi says that

الشيعة لقب لقوم كانوا قد ألفوا أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب - صلوات الله عليه - في حياة رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وعرفوا به ، مثل سلمان الفارسي ، وأبي ذر الغفاري ، والمقداد بن الأسود ، وعمار بن ياسر ، وكان يقال لهم شيعة علي ، وأصحاب علي.

  Shiite was the title of those who were interested in the commander of the faithful Ali Ibn Abi taleb (peace be upon him) in the age of the holy prophet of GOD (peace and bless of GOD be upon him and his progeny) and they were known through the love of Ali such as Salamn Farsi, Abi Zar Qefari, Meqdad Ibn Asvad, Amar Ibn Yaser who were called Shiites and the companions of Ali
