We shall now proceed to discuss the deceptions, charges, fabrications and slanders which the Shi`ahs in general level against the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama`ah.

1. SALAATUDH DHUHAA (CHAASHT SALAAT)

The Shi`ahs claim that the Ahlus Sunnah deny the validity of Dhuhaa Salaat (the Salaat performed after Ishraaq Salaat). They accused Hadhrat Aisha (radhiallahu anha) of this denial.

This claim is utterly basis. The Ahlus Sunnah in fact teaches the virtues of Chaasht Salaat. The accusation against Hadhrat Aisha (radhiallahu anha) is false. The following narration appears in Saheeh Muslim, Musnad-e-Ahmed and Ibne Maajah:

“Muaath Adwiyyah says: ‘I asked Aisha: ‘ How many Rakaats Salaatut Dhuhaa would Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) perform?’ She said: ‘ Four - and he would increase (on it) as he pleased.’”

The narration of Hadhrat Aisha (radhiallahu anha), which the Shiahs cite to substantiate their claim refers to Hadhrat Aisha’s (radhiallahu anha) refutation of performing Chaasht Salaat in Jamaat - a practice which was later introduced by people.

2. MUT`AH

Shia`ahs accuse the Ahlus Sunnah of prohibiting Mut`ah which they assert is lawful.

The Ahlus Sunnah says that in the early age of Islam, Mut`ah was lawful, but was prohibited later as was the case with liquor as well as some other practices.

Elaborating on the practice of Mut`ah (temporary marriage), Imaam Nawawi (rahmatullahi alayh) states in his Sharhul Muslim:

“Al-Maazari said that Mut`ah was permissible in the initial stages of Islam. Authentic Ahaadith confirm that it (Mut`ah) was abrogated. Ijma (consensus) has been enacted on its prohibition. Only a group of innovators has opposed this prohibition. These deviates (i.e. The Shi`ahs) have clung to narrations (which permit) this practice. However, in these narrations is no proof for their contention because this practice has been abrogated.”

Mut`ah was initially permissible. Later, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) prohibited it. “Abu Umais narrates from Ayas Bin Salmah. He narrates from his father who narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) permitted Mut`ah during the year of (the battle of) Autaas for three days. Then he forbade us from it.” (Saheeh Muslim)

In another Hadith reported in Saheeh Muslim, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

“Oh People! I had permitted you the practice of Mut`ah with women. Verily (now) Allah has made it Haraam until the day of Qiyaamah. Therefore, whoever has any such woman (i.e. acquired by way of Mut`ah), should set her free. Do not take from them anything which you had given them.”

The following Hadith in Saheeh Muslim states with the greatest clarity the final prohibition of Mut`ah:

“Urwah ibn Zubair said that Abdullah Bin Zubair announced in Makkah:

‘Verily, Allah has blinded the hearts of some people as he has blinded their eyes. They issue verdicts (of permissibility) of Mut`ah,...... Ibn Abi Umrah said:

‘Verily, it was permitted in the beginning of Islam for one driven to it like carrion, blood and the flesh of swine (is permitted in dire straits of starvation). Then Allah emphasised the Deen (the command on this practice) and prohibited it.”

It is abundantly clear that Mut`ah was prohibited by the command of Allah Ta`ala during the very lifetime of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The narrations indicating permissibility are related to the early period of Islam. The deviated Shi`ahs in the attempt to substantiate their adulterous relationships are presenting such narrations while ignoring and concealing the clear Ahaadith which prohibit Mut`ah.

3. AUTHENTICITY OF QUR`AAN MAJEED

Shi`ahs claimed that Hadhrat Abu Bakr (radhiallahu anhu) and Hadhrat Umar (radhiallahu anhu) had deleted a large portion of the Qur`aan. Yet Allah Ta`ala states in the Qur`aan:

“ Verily, We have revealed the Qur`aan and, Verily, We are its Protectors.”

In denying the authenticity of the Qur`aan Majeed, Shi`ahs imply that the Sahaabah had thwarted Allah Ta`ala and that He was unable to fulfill His pledge of protecting the Qur`aan Majeed (Nauthubillah!).

While present-day Shi`ahs overtly portray their acceptance of the Qur`aan Majeed, all their authorities, as is clearly stated in their most highly-placed books of religion, claimed that a very large portion of the Qur`aan was deleted by the three Khulafa-e-Raashideen. (See our booklet, “The Truth of Shi`ism - Part 2" - obtainable from Y.M.M.A, P. O. Box 18594, Actonville 1506, Benoni, South Africa ).

4. LOVE FOR HADHRAT ALI (radhiallahu anhu)

Shi`as have fabricated such Hadith narrations which proclaim that love for Hadhrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu) suffices for Najaat (salvation) in the Aakhirah. These narrations had been forged to mislead the unwary masses.

Among such forged Ahaadith, is the following:

“Ibn Baabawayh narrating from Ibn Abbaas and others said that Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: ‘Allah will not punish with the Fire, those who befriend Ali.’”

Ignorant people, prone to following their bestial desires fell victim to such forged narrations for the sake of nafsaani satisfaction and gratification. From such forgeries stem the idea of Ali’s love atoning for all sins and immorality. It is a belief similar to the Christian doctrine of Atonement.

5. IMPOSTERS AND FABRICATORS

A group of their Ulama pretended to be among the Muhadditheen of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama`ah. They engaged in the knowledge of Ahaadith, acquiring proficiency in Hadith from Hadith authorities of the Ahlus Sunnah. Overtly they projected the image of piety. As a result of their fraud, they gained the allegiance of the students of the Ahlus Sunnah.

In the process of teaching authentic Ahaadith, they introduced their fabricated narrations. Even Ulama were thrown into confusion by this Satanic tactic. Differentiation between true and false narrations became an onerous task. However, by the grace and mercy of Allah Ta`ala, the illustrious authorities of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama`ah discovered this fraudulent manipulation and sifted the falsehood from the collections of narrations.

The first Shi`ah who initiated this process of Hadith-fabrication was Jabir Ja`far. Another master fabricator of Hadith was Abul Qasim Sa`d Bin Abdullah Ibn Ubay Khalf Qummi.

Narrations were fabricated and attributed to the Ahl-e-Bait (Household of Rasulullah- sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to criticise the Sahaabah and to speak of them as reneging from the Deen and abandoning Islam. Such forged Ahaadith accuse the Sahaabah of usurping the rights of the Ahl-e-Bait.

One of their methods of deception is to attribute their forgeries to such Muhadditheen of the Ahlus Sunnah whose names and titles resemble those of Shi`ah narrators. By this device they deceived unwary members of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama`ah who labour under the impression that the narrators are authorities of the Ahlus Sunnah, e.g. there are two “Suddi”. One is a reliable narrator of the Ahlus Sunnah while the other is a fraud, liar and fabricator of Hadith. He was among the Rawaafidh (also a branch of Shi`ism).

Another example is Ibn Qutaibah. The one Ibn Qutaibah is the Sunni who is the author of Al-Ma`aarif. The other Ibn Qutaibah is the Raafidhi who also named his book, Al-Ma`aarif to create confusion and perpetrate deception.

6. FABRICATING BOOKS

Among their devices of deception is to write books and attribute authorship to senior Ulama of the Ahlus Sunnah. Criticism of the Sahaabah and refutation of the Math`hab of the Ahlus Sunnah are recorded in such fabrications, e.g. Sirrul Aalameen is attributed to Imaam Ghazali (rahmatullahi alayh). There are many such forged books prepared by Shi`ahs for deceiving unwary members of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama`ah.

7. FALSE REFERENCES

Another deceptive method employed by the Shi`ahs is to substantiate their baseless and false claims by citing such books of the Ahlus Sunnah which are no longer extant or rare. In the absence of the books, denial becomes difficult and ordinary people are misled.

8. SHI`AH CLAIM THAT SOME OF THEIR SCHOLARS ARE OF THE AHLUS SUNNAH

Among the Shi`ah deception is the dissemination of the idea that certain Shi`ah scholars are members of the Ahlus Sunnah. Once this impression has been rooted in the minds of people, they commence narrating from them such matter which refutes the Math-hab of the Ahlus Sunnah. Such scholars were, for example, Zamakhshari, the author of Kash-shaaf. He belonged to the Tafdheeli sect and was also a Mu`tazili; Afdhal (Akhtab) Khwaarzim was an extremist (Ghaali) Zaidi; Ibn Qutaibah, author of Al-Ma`aarif was a Rafidhi; Ibn Abil Hadeed, the commentator of Nahjul Balaaghah, combined Shi`ism with Mu`tazili`ism; Hishaam Kalbi, the Mufassir was a Raafdhi; and so were Mas`udi, author of Murawwajuth Thahab, and Abul Farj Isfahani, author of Al-Aghaani.

These persons and similar others were mistakenly regarded to be members of the Ahlus Sunnah, but support for Shi`i views was acquired from their writings.

9. ENEMIES OF THE AHL-E-BAIT

Shi`ahs disseminate the falsity of the Ahlus Sunnah being the enemies of the Ahl-e-Bait. Such stories which supports this view are narrated to convince the unwary and ignorant among the Ahlus Sunnah

This claim is a pure slander and fabrication. Love for the Ahl-e-Bait is considered incumbent by the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama`ah. If there are enemies of the Ahl-e-Bait, the worst are the Shi`ahs who have in their armoury of invective the vilest calumnies and abuse for the beloved wives of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), especially Hadhrat Aisha Siddiqah (radhiallahu anha). All of the wives of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) are part of the Ahl-e-Bait.

In fact, the Ahlus Sunnah believe that love for the noble family of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in an integral part of Imaan. A person who is bereft of this love, has no love for Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), and he who lacks this love is not a Muslim in the same way as Shi`ahs are not Muslims on account of their hatred for the Sahaabah. Those bereft of love for the Sahaabah cannot have love for Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

Senior Ulama of the Ahlus Sunnah have in fact written volumes on love for the Ahl-e-Bait and their virtues. The assertion of the Shi`ahs is, therefore, slanderous, false and designed to deliberately mislead ignorant people.

Daily, in every Salaat, the Ahlus Sunnah recite Durood on the Ahl-e-Bait. There is not the slightest vestige of aversion for the Ahl-e-Bait in the hearts of any of the Ahlus Sunnah.

In stark contrast is the attitude and conduct of these accursed Shi`ahs. Immediately on the death of their “god-incarnate” Imaams they initiate the process of intrigue, conspiracy and violence against the family members (of their Imaams), even branding them Kaafir. While some would accept as Imaam the sons of the previous Imaams who had died, others would engage in a diatribe of abuse and curses. Besides the Ahlus Sunnah no one else honours and reveres the Ahl-e-Bait completely and perfectly.

In the matter of hatred for the Ahl-e-Bait, there are two groups of extremists - The Nawaasib and the Shi`ah. The Nawaasib excelled in hatred for Hadhrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu) and his descendants while the Shi`ahs left no stone unturned to vent their extreme hatred for Hadhrat Aisha, Hadhrat Hafsa and Hadhrat Zubair (Rasulullah’s cousin)- radhiallahu anhum. Yet all of them are part of the Ahl-e-Bait for whom love is Waajib.

Furthermore, the Kisaaniyyah Shiahs rejected the Imaamat of Hadhrat Hasan and Hussein (radhiallahu anhuma); the Mukhtaariyyah Shi`ah denied the Imaamat of ZainulAbideen (radhiallahu anhu); the Imaamamiyyah Shi`ahs refuted the Imaamat of Zaid Shaheed while the Ismailiyyah Shi`ahs rejected Musa Kaazim. In fact, some of them branded even Hadhrat Ali Kaafir while proclaiming his divinity. The absurdity of this incongruity is self-evident.

Pure and true love for the Ahl-e-Bait is the capital of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama`ah exclusively.

10. SHIAH BOOK REFUTING AHLUS SUNNAH

Shiah theologians prepared a book, Al-Hasanah, in which they refuted the Math- hab of the Ahlus Sunnah. They falsely attribute authorship of the book to a slave-girl of the Ahl-e- Bait. Then they claim that the Sunni Ulama were unable to respond to this refutation supposedly written by a stupid slave-girl. The actual author of the book is the Shiah, Shareef Murtaza.

11. FALSE LITERATURE

Another trick employed by the Shiahs to deceive ignorant people is to prepare a refutation of the Ahlus Sunnah and attribute authorship to an imaginary Muslim who tells his story of conversion firstly to Islam, i.e. the Math- hab of the Ahlus Sunnah, then ultimately to Shi`ism. The imaginary story-teller explains in his book that the Ulama of the Ahlus Sunnah were unable to respond to his queries and doubts brought about by his research. One such book is Youhanna Ibn Israeel. It’s author, however, is Shareef Murtaza. The imaginary Kaafir claims that ultimately by virtue of Divine guidance he was convinced of the truth of Shi`ism.

This tactic of deception is even presently employed by Shiahs. One such book presently in circulation is, “Then I was guided” in English.

12. CAUSING ENMITY AMONGST THE ADHERENTS OF THE FOUR MATH-HABS

An extremely subtle deception of the Shiahs in their attempt to negate the four Math-habs of Islam is to write a book and attribute authorship to a Sunni Alim of the particular Math- hab. The imaginary Sunni Alim will negate the other three Math-habs and substantiate his own Math-hab with baseless and ludicrous arguments. The satanic motive underlying this attempt is to divest the minds of the readers of the value and honour they have of the four Math-habs.

13. FABRICATED BOOKS ON FIQH

Another devilish trick of the Shiahs which has confused even some great Ulama of the Ahlus Sunnah is to compile books on Fiqh in which fabrications are recorded. They then attribute authorship of the book to some Imaam of Fiqh of the Ahlus Sunnah. For example, one such Shiah-authored book is Mukhtasar which is attributed to Imaam Maalik (rahmatullah alayh). In this book it is said that it is permissible for the master to commit homosexuality with his slaves. But, this slanderous and false fabrication is not Imaam Maalik’s teaching.

The Shiahs have succeeded to some extent in this ploy because a forged fabrication supposedly author by Imaam Abu Hanifah (rahmatullah alayh) will be distributed in regions where Maalikis, for example, predominate while the book attributed to Imaam Maalik (rahmatullah alayh) will be circulated in predominantly Hanafi areas.

In one such book it is claimed that according to Imaam Maalik (rahmatullah alayh) Mut`ah (temporary marriage) is lawful. But according to Imaam Maalik (rahmatullah alayh) Hadd (prescribed Shar`i punishment of hundred lashes or stoning to death) is Waajib for Mut`ah.

14. INTERPOLATION OF KITAABS

In some places, Shiahs have interpolated even well-known books of Hadith and Tafseer of the Ahlus Sunnah. Hadith books such as the Sihah Sittah and Mishkaat were beautifully written and bound. Shiah fabrications in support of Shi`ism were incorporated into the texts of these Kitaabs. Many Ulama too were unaware and were victims of this trap. However, in view of the abundance of the original Kitaabs in circulation, this trick of the Shiahs miserably failed.

15. KITAAB FORGERIES

Another ploy of the Shiahs is the introduction of a forged word or two in a narration which they reproduce from famous Kitaabs of the Ahlus Sunnah. They will cite a narration and add a word from which support for Shi`ism could be acquired.

When Sunnis read the narration cited by the Shiahs in their support, they (Sunnis) are exasperated. While they are aware of the narration and may have read it in the Sunni books, they little realise that a baseless word has been introduced which does not exist in the original Kitaabs. One should be very alert regarding such fraudulent manipulation. The narrations quoted by the Shiahs in substantiation of their religion should always be examined in the original Kitaabs of the Ahlus Sunnah.

These types of forgeries is to be found in profusion in Kashful Ghumma of Ali Bin Isa. Ibn Muttahhir perpetrates this fraud also in Alfain, Minhaajul Karaamah and Nahjul Haqq.

16. DECEPTIVE LITERATURE

One of their deceptions is the compilation of books on the virtues and excellence of the four Khulafa Raashideen. Saheeh Ahaadith of the Ahlus Sunnah together with chains of transmission are presented. Even great Ulama were tricked into believing that such forgeries were authentic books of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama`ah.

The frauds responsible for such compilations introduced their own fabricated narrations in the chapters dealing with the fourth Khalifah, Hadhrat Ali (radhiallahu anhu). Such fabrications which cast aspersions on the characters of the first three Khulafa and severely assaulting their integrity are subtly introduced.

Readers labouring under the misapprehension of the Kitaab being the work of Sunni Ulama, accept every narration as being authentic. They are led to conclude that even the Kitaabs of the Ahlus Sunnah are not devoid of narrations criticising the first three Khulafa.

Even an Aalim of the calibre of the author of Riyaadhun Nadhrah fi Manaaqibil Ashrah became a victim of this Shi`i trap. Thus, he too cited such fabricated Ahaadith derived from this type of Shiah forgeries written on the topic of the virtues (Fadhaa`il) of the four Khulafa.

17. DELETION AND CONCEALMENT OF FAULTS IN THEIR OWN KITAABS

To save their skin from the criticism of the Ahlus Sunnah on certain Masaa`il (rules/ issues), Shiahs have completely deleted such contentious issues from their later publications. They go to great lengths in concealing their books which contain such filth and evil for which they have no rational defense. To add to the confusion, they then disseminate the deleted narrations claiming that they are the views of the Ahlus Sunnah. Shiah expert fraudsters in this field are Sayyid Murtazaa, Ibn Mattahhir Hilli and Ibn Taaus.

18. FORGING POETRY

Another device of deception of the Shiahs is to forge poetry in the names of recognised Ulama and Auliyaa of the Ahlus Sunnah. Readers are led to believe from such forgeries that these noble personages were also Shiahs. Such fabricated poetry as been attributed to Imaam Shaafi, Sheikh Fariduddin Attaar, Sheikh Auhaadi, Shams Tabrez, Moulana Rumi and Hafez Shiraazi. However, in this ploy the Shiahs miserably failed. Not even a child believes these illustrious souls of the Ahlus Sunnah were Shiahs.

19.INTERPOLATION OF AHLUS SUNNAH’S HISTORICAL BOOKS

Among the Shiah devices of deception is to interpolate the historical books of the Ahlus Sunnah. An example is the abridgement of Taarikh Tabari. This abridgement containing many concoctions and fabrications, was prepared by the Shiah Ali Bin Muhammad Adawi Abul Hasan Simsati. The idea has been created that the fabrications contained in the abridged version are from the original work of Tabari when in reality it does not exist there.

This abridgement has deceived many historians of the Ahlus Sunnah who were misled to believe that it was a faithful reproduction of the original work of Tabari.

20. TAQIYAH

The greatest device of deception of the Shiahs is their doctrine of Taqiyah or holy hypocrisy, i.e. to conceal their actual beliefs from wise and intelligent people. While they freely make use of this vile device when confronted by men of intelligence and learning, they unhesitatingly propagate their evil beliefs to children, women and ignoramuses who lack the ability of detection and discernment.

Whenever they are rendered helpless in debate, they unhesitatingly resort to the device of Taqiyah. If it was not for this principle of concealment of beliefs, Shi`ism would not have acquired followers from even the ignorant masses.

The Shiah practice of Taqiyah is not restricted to occasions of danger as Shiahs attempt to mislead unwary followers of the Ahlus Sunnah. They resort to Taqiyah for just any reason and occasion considered expedient.

The salient fact in the conglomeration of Shi`i traditions and Hadith is the acknowledgment by all Shiah authorities that their traditions abound with untrue statements – false pronouncements made by their “infallible” Imaams and that it is now the duty of the Shi`i jurists to bring into operation their expertise and ingenuity to distinguish between the true and false statements and ordinances of their Imaams whom they believe to be higher in rank and knowledge than even Ambiyaa. What credibility does such a religion have? A theology whose starting point is a voluminous accumulation of complicated ordinances, pronouncements and statements based on both Truth and acknowledged official and holy lies — lies uttered by the “infallible” Divine authorities themselves — can never be the religion of Islam, for Islam is the Haqq of Allah Ta`ala, and neither the Nabi of Islam nor the Standard Bearers of Islam (the Sahaabah) ever made recourse to falsehood and the speaking of lies because of the fear of anyone. The holy justification of falsehood is termed Taqiyah in Shi`i theology.

Persecution, torture and hardships were never considered grounds for proclamation of falsehood by the Ambiyaa. Among the hazards of the Ambiyaa`s sacred office were these hardships — unspeakable hardships and persecution. The Ambiyaa had no licence to resort to falsehood and cloud the Truth of the mission of Nubuwwat with the confusion of lies. But, the Shiah Imaams, in spite of Shiahs having attributed near godhood to them, are believed by the Shiahs themselves to have opted for lies in abundance on account of fear for unjust worldly kings.

A dispassionate study of Shi`ism will open the eyes of those Muslims who had been misled by Khomeini’s political slogans dinned into their ears under Islamic guise.

The history of Shi`ism is entangled with falsehood, soaked with the blood of Islam’s illustrious personalities murdered by the Shiahs, and it (Shi`ism) reeks for ever with evil intrigue and conspiracy. There is nothing but darkness in the religion of the Shiahs.

In view of the many devices of deception by means of which Shiahs beguile the unwary and ignorant, Muslims should not become entrapped by the quotations and references cited by the Shiahs.

Presentation of lies, falsehood and fabrication of narrations are considered holy acts of merit and reward. They commit the worst forgeries and fraud to substantiate their baseless doctrines and teachings. No one should, therefore, be surprised when Shiahs cite from the Kitaabs of the Ahlus Sunnah such narrations which seemingly support the claim of Shi`ism.

Some Shiah frauds had succeeded to infiltrate the ranks of the authoritative Muhadditheen of the Ahlus Sunnah. They presented themselves as true students of Hadith. They criticised Shi`ism and gained the confidence of the Ahlus Sunnah, who were deceived by the external facade of piety presented by these fraudsters. Initially they displayed great care in Hadith transmission, narrating from only reliable Hadith authorities. Once they had achieved their pernicious aim of gaining the fullest confidence of the Ahlus Sunnah, they introduced their fabrications very subtly. The fabricated narrations invariably were designed to bolster the religion of Shi`ism. Sometimes they achieved their aim by a slight variation in the words of the Ahaadith and sometimes by the introduction of a pure fabricated narration. In view of the confidence they enjoyed among the Ahlus Sunnah, the fabrications were accepted as authentic Ahaadith. This method of deception spread much confusion.

The first Shi`i fraud to embark on this plot of deception was Ajla`. Even an authority such as Hadhrat Yahya Bin Mueen became a victim of Ajla`s plot. Yahya Bin Mueen thus declared Ajla`s reliability, little realising the deception of this fraud. However, other Hadith authorities of the Ahlus Sunnah discovered the conspiracy and exposed Ajla`.

One fabrication introduced by Ajla`is the narration:

“Buraidah narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:’ Verily, Ali is your Wali after me.’”

In order to deceive the Ahlus Sunnah, some of the Shi`i historians wrote books on history in which they generally adhered to factual reporting. The style they adopted led people to believe that they were members of the Ahlus Sunnah. When writing the History of the Khulafa-e-Raashideen, these frauds would introduce matter in substantiation of Shi`ism. Some historians of the Ahlus Sunnah were also deceived and they would narrate from such books believing the authors were from the Ahlus Sunnah.

Ultimately, this device led to deviation of some members of the Ahlus Sunnah. Even a Muhaddith of the standing of Sayyid Jamaaluddin, author of Raudhatul Ahbaab narrated from such fraudulent historical records of Shi`i frauds, especially the episodes regarding the appointment of Hadhrat Abu Bakr (radhiallahu anhu) and Hadhrat Ali`s hesitation in acceptance of Hadhrat Abu Bakr’s Khilaafat. The same applies to the episodes and anecdotes of Hadhrat Uthmaan (radhiallahu anhu).

This type of fraudulent interpolation is accompanied by the words : “Some narrators say”. The authoritative Ulama of the Ahlus Sunnah discount the narrations of unknown narrators. It is incumbent to reject such narrations of unknown entities, which have found their way into historical records of the Ahlus Sunnah.

Among the fraudulent tricks of the Shiahs, is to claim that certain great Mashaaikh and Auliyaa of the Ahlus Sunnah were Shiahs. In the Shi`i book, Wafiyatul A`yaan authored by an Iraqi Shiah, the illustrious Auliyaa, Baayazid Bustaami, Ma`roof Karkhi, Shaqeeq Balkhi, Sahl Bin Abdullah Tastari and others are enumerated as Shiahs. False narrations and slanders are attributed to these noble Auliyaa of the Ahlus Sunnah.

A similar book of the Shiahs is Majaalisul Mu`mineen written by Qaadhi Nurullah Shaustari. Many followers of the Ahlus Sunnah were misled by such Shi`i fraudulent compilations.
