Takfir motivation for many of these killings may come from Sunni insurgent leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. In some countries like Iraq, Syria, Kuwait and Bahrain, communities have mingled and intermarried. Ali did not change his mind when he finally pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr and then to Umar and to Uthman but had done so for the sake of the unity of Islam, at a time when it was clear that the Muslims had turned away from him. He went to the Christians and said "this is my family" and covered himself and his family with a cloak. [165], Syria is approximately three quarters Sunni,[166] but its government is predominantly Alawite, a Shia sect that makes up less than 15% of the population. O ye sons of Abdul Muttalib, no one ever came to you before with anything better than what I have brought to you. He told Abu Bakr that his delay in pledging allegiance (bay'ah) to him was based on his belief in his own claim to the caliphate. The two parties agreed on a peace agreement, however, according to Vaglieri, the rebels did not like the conclusion of the treaty. Soon after Ali became caliph, he dismissed Uthman's governors immediately, against the counsel of his advisers that it would not be politically wise to do so, as he refused to be complicit in their injustice and corruption. These works are not extant nowadays. This time, Ali's offer was accepted by Muhammad. [27] The Sunnis also use the honorific Karam Allahu Wajhahu, which means "God's Favour upon his Face." The groups demand the expulsion of all Shias from Pakistan and have killed hundreds of Pakistani Shias between 1996 and 1999. [24] When Ali was five years old, Muhammad took Ali into his home to raise him. When Ali came back to Kufa, he denied that he intended to step back from Seffin treaty. [234], There are many verses interpreted by Shia scholars as referring to Ali or other Shia Imams. When Muhammad was creating bonds of brotherhood among his companions, he selected Ali as his brother, claiming that "Ali and I belong to the same tree, while people belong to different trees. In recent years, Sunni–Shia relations have been increasingly marked by conflict,[15] particularly the Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict. [2] According to Vaglieri, this was judged in later time, as a treacherous trick and disloyal act. Regardless, Ali refuted these claims, insisting they recognised him as caliph voluntarily. [113], Uthman's assassination meant that rebels had to select a new caliph. Ali rejected the third condition while Uthman accepted it. [160][161][162] 'Ali protested that it was contrary to the Qur'an and the Sunnah and hence not binding. They broke away from Ali's force, rallying under the slogan "arbitration belongs to God alone." 5–7. Muawiyah allowed 'Amr ibn al-'As to move against Egypt and 'Amr eventually conquered it for the second time in his career. In 631, Ali was sent to Yemen to spread the teachings of Islam. Its influence can be sensed in the logical co-ordination of terms, the deduction of correct conclusions, and the creation of certain technical terms in Arabic which entered the literary and philosophical language independently of the translation into Arabic of Greek texts.[204]. [19] The war has featured a cycle of Sunni–Shia revenge killing—Sunni often used car bombs, while Shia favored death squads. I, p.331; Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, al-Tafsir al-Kabir, Vol. [119] In addition, Uthman's governors were widely known for their corruption and plundering. Reference. Already in the 8th century, literary authorities such as 'Abd al-Hamid ibn Yahya al-'Amiri pointed to the unparalleled eloquence of Ali's sermons and sayings, as did al-Jahiz in the following century. The tensions blew into a limited warfare between Shia dominated and Sunni dominated political alliances in 2008. The report listed questions ISIS uses to "tell whether a person is a Sunni or a Shiite"—What is your name? A Misyar marriage differs from a conventional Islamic marriage in that the man does not have financial responsibility of the woman by her own free will. Such works also constitute a kind of historiography. [2] Also Letter of Ali ibn Abi Talib to Malik al-Ashtar, in which Ali "outlines his conception of legitimate and righteous rule", is an important part of this book and got much attention. [61] [250], In Europe Shia-Sunni acrimony is part of life for tens of millions of European Muslims. The dispute intensified greatly after the Battle of Karbala, in which Hussein ibn Ali and his household were killed by the ruling Umayyad Caliph Yazid I, and the outcry for revenge divided the early Islamic community, which is known today as Islamic schism to differ from Christian schism that happened later. [29][84] Ali also believed that he could fulfill the role of Imam without fighting. This was not the position of Ali himself. The two communities have often remained separate, mingling regularly only during the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. [108] But doing so in Saudi meant a more anti-Shia policies because Saudi's own native Sunni school of Islam is Wahhabism, which includes the prohibition of Shia Islam itself, as strict Wahhabis do not consider Shia to be Islamic. [97], Following this period, Sunni–Shia strife has seen a major upturn, particularly in Iraq and Pakistan, leading to thousands of deaths. His statements are a reference for Shia legal system, and most importantly, Shias believe that Ali was superior to the rest of the Companions and was appointed by Muhammad as his successor. Wilferd Madelung believes that, due to the fact that Ali did not have the Quraysh's support to be elected as a caliph, he could not be considered as a opposition. [29][82], Nevertheless, the issue of succession to Muhammad caused the Muslims to split into two groups, Sunni and Shia. Both the Sunni al-Qaeda and "Islamic State" consider Shia Muslims to be heretics. In retaliation, troops killed more than 300 Shiites in the city of Zaria. Once again, Ali was the only one to respond, and again, Muhammad told him to wait. Ja'far al-Sadiq, the sixth Shia Imam, died during al-Mansur's reign, and there were claims that he was murdered on the orders of the caliph. I am the contester against those who break away from Faith and the opposer of those who entertain doubts. He advised the populace to behave as true Muslims, warning that he would tolerate no sedition and those who were found guilty of subversive activities would be dealt with harshly. Hassan-i Sabbah conquered fortresses and captured Alamut in 1090. However, when some notable companions of Muhammad, in addition to the residents of Medina, urged him to accept the offer, he finally agreed. [151][152][153] The extensive secondary sources include, in addition to works by Sunni and Shia Muslims, writings by Christian Arabs, Hindus, and other non-Muslims from the Middle East and Asia and a few works by modern western scholars. Bosworth, E. van Donzel, W.P. [105] In 650, during the pilgrimage, he reproached Uthman for his change of the prayer ritual. Iran is unique in the Muslim world because its population is overwhelmingly more Shia than Sunni (Shia constitute 95% of the population) and because its constitution is theocratic republic based on rule by a Shia jurist. Peter Lang. Hasan was forced to give the caliphate to Muawiyah, according to a Hasan–Muawiya treaty. [218], Du'a Kumayl is a supplication by Ali, which been taught to his companion, Kumayl ibn Ziyad. [87] Several scholars, such as Al-Tabari and Ibn Qutaybah, relate that Umar threatened to burn the building down if Ali refused to acknowledge Abu Bakr's authority. In February 1980 disturbances were "less spontaneous" and even bloodier. Some Shia sources contain miraculous descriptions of the entrance of Ali's mother into the Kaaba. [186] Under the Safavid Empire, his grave became the focus of much devoted attention, exemplified in the pilgrimage made by Shah Ismail I to Najaf and Karbala.[29]. [173] During this period, the Shia in Iran were nourished from Kufa, Baghdad and later from Najaf and Al Hillah. "[37] Twelvers believe the Mahdi will be Muhammad al-Mahdi, the twelfth Imam returned from the Occultation, where he has been hidden by Allah since 874. Abu Musa then proposed, and Amr agreed, to depose both Ali and Muawiyah and submit the selection of the new caliph to a Shura. During and after the US-led invasion of Iraq, members of the Zaidi-Shia community protested after Friday prayers every week outside mosques, particularly the Grand Mosque in Sana'a, during which they shouted anti-US and anti-Israeli slogans, and criticised the government's close ties to America. [176], As of 2006 four of the 150 members of Saudi Arabia's "handpicked" parliament were Shia, but no city had a Shia mayor or police chief, and none of the 300 girls schools for Shia in the Eastern Province had a Shia principal. After which from the 12th-13th centuries, the Zaidis of Daylaman, Gilan and Tabaristan then acknowledge the Zaidi Imams of Yemen or rival Zaidi Imams within Iran.[67]. [13][14] While the overwhelming majority of Medina's population as well as many of the rebels gave their pledge, some important figures or tribes did not do so.

Who among you will support me in carrying out this momentous duty? Mutah is not the same as Misyar marriage or 'Arfi marriage, which has no date of expiration and is permitted by some Sunnis. [229] Some of the slaughter was indiscriminate, but many were Shia targeted by the Taliban. They have also become the basis of literary works or have been integrated into poetic verse in many languages. Numerous short sayings of Ali have become part of general Islamic culture and are quoted as aphorisms and proverbs in daily life. [151] While dealing with the Iraqis, 'Ali found it hard to build a disciplined army and effective state institutions. [230], Ali is known by various titles, some given due to his personal qualities and others due to events in his life:[1], Except for Muhammad, there is no one in Islamic history about whom as much has been written in Islamic languages as Ali. [2] Finally, he tried to mitigate the severity of the siege by his insistence that Uthman should be allowed water. The most troubling element of this view, is the apparent elevation of Ali's position in Muhammad's sayings, such as "I am from Ali and Ali is from me", and "Whoever counts me as his patron (mawla), then Ali is also his patron", which accordingly been interpreted so that solve the problem. [2][127], Ali is said to have vowed an uncompromising campaign against financial corruption and unfair privileges after he assumed the caliphate following the death of Uthman. August 9: The U.S.-led coalition begins airstrikes on ISIS targets in Iraq. Despite this, Ali made no resistance against the standardised mus'haf. [122] They included Shia leader Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr and his sister. [25] While it is not disputed that Muhammad raised Ali, it was not due to any financial stress that Ali's father was going through. "[39] Ali also defended Muhammad in the Battle of Hunayn in 630. Jihad (English: / dʒ ɪ ˈ h ɑː d /; Arabic: جهاد jihād [dʒɪˈhaːd]) is an Arabic word which literally means striving or struggling, especially with a praiseworthy aim. There are many intermarriages between Shia and Sunnis in Pakistan. [102], Many in the Muslim world explain the bloodshed as the work of conspiracies by outside forces—"the forces of hegemony and Zionism which aim to weaken [Arabs]" (Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Yusuf al-Qaradawi),[99] unspecified "enemies" (Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad),[103] or "oppressive pressure by the imperialist front." [217] There have also been conflagrations in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan and Azad Kashmir,[217] with several hundreds of Shia Hazara killed in Balochistan killed since 2008.[218]. "; he then declared: "He of whom I am the mawla, of him Ali is also the mawla (man kuntu mawlāhu fa-ʿAlī mawlāhu)". This gap continued until the 20th century. [56] Muhammad, to prove to them that he was a prophet, brought his daughter Fatimah, 'Ali and his grandchildren Hasan and Husayn. [67] He commanded the Muslim army in the Battle of the Trench, where he defeated the legendary Arab warrior Amr ibn Abd al-Wud. Uthman had appointed his family members as governors and in other positions of power, and public dissatisfaction with this nepotism was one of the factors that had caused a rebellion against him. Finally, Ali was urged to accept Abu Musa. 542–3; al-khazin: at-Tafsir, vol.2, p.68 Imamate: The vicegerency of the Holy Prophet By Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizv p24, see al-Bahrani, Ghayat al-Marum, p. 126:al-Suyuti, al-Durr al-Manthur, Vol. Amr ibn al-As was appointed by Muawiyah as an arbitrator. [126] For you are above them, and he who appointed you is above you, and God is above him who appointed you. [8][9] Ali protected Muhammad from an early age,[10] and took part in almost all the battles fought by the nascent Muslim community. These wells are known today as Abar Ali ("Ali's wells"). Who will respond to my call? Where do you live? [234][238][239] As of 2019, El-Zakzaky was still imprisoned. Muhammad Manzour Numani, a senior Indian cleric with close ties to Saudi Arabia published a book entitled Iranian Revolution: Imam Khomeini and Shiism. However, whether Uthman's murder should be regarded as an act of justice or not, was among the issues to be determined. [47][48] Twelvers believe that Mutah was permitted until Umar forbade it during his rule. [256], Saba'iyya, the followers of Abdullah ibn Saba', who praised Ali beyond measures, were another Ghulat sect, which, according to Veccia Vaglieri, Ali dissociated himself from them. Though sectarian tensions in Lebanon were at their height during the Lebanese Civil War, the Shia–Sunni relations were not the main conflict of the war. [36], Ali was the only one to answer Muhammad's call. [98], Some Western analysts assert that the US is practicing divide and rule strategy through the escalation of Sunni-Shia conflict. Shias argue that his determination in pushing these reforms aroused the ire of the wealthy and the privileged former companions of the Prophet. [234] Many of the converted are poor Muslims. An estimated 10,000 to 40,000 Syrians, mostly civilians, were killed by Syrian military in the city. The anniversary of his death is called the Day of Ashura and it is a day of mourning and religious observance for Shia Muslims. Muawiyah's army occupied many cities of Iraq, which Ali's governors could not prevent, and the people offered no support for a defense. [197] Husayn, born in 626, was the third Shia Imam, whom Mu'awiyah persecuted severely. "[232], In Nigeria—the most populous country in Africa—until recently almost all Muslims were Sunni. Shia and Sunni Islam are the two major denominations of Islam. The United States fears that Shiite rule in the Persian Gulf will lead to anti-US and anti-Western sentiment as well as Iranian influence in the Arab majority states. Mainstream Shia and Sunni women wear the hijab differently. Christians were pitted "against Muslims in Egypt, Jordanians against Palestinians in Jordan, and, above all, Sunnis against Shi’ites wherever possible.”[102], Shia–Sunni discord in Iraq starts with disagreement over the relative population of the two groups. Many Sunnis hotly dispute their minority status, including ex-Iraqi Ambassador Faruq Ziada,[116] and many believe Shia majority is "a myth spread by America". [69], During the Conquest of Mecca in 630, Muhammad asked Ali to guarantee that the conquest would be bloodless. [66] He had the special role of protecting Muhammad when most of the Muslim army fled from the battle of Uhud,[1] and it was said Lā fitā illā ʿAliyy, lā sayfa illā Dhul-Fiqār (لَا فِتَی إِلَّا عَلِيّ، لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو ٱلْفِقَار, (There is) no brave youth except Ali, there is no sword (which renders service) except Zulfiqar). There were some exceptions to this general domination which emerged in the form of the Zaidis of Tabaristan, the Buwayhid, the rule of the Sultan Muhammad Khudabandah (r. 1304–1316) and the Sarbedaran. [160] The arbitration resulted in the dissolution of 'Ali's coalition, and some have opined that this was Muawiyah's intention. Following the wake Shia mobs in Iraq attacked the Jordanian embassy on 20 March 2005. Uncertainties should be placed before Qur'an, the Book of Allah (for clarification). Although Ali exchanged several letters with Muawiyah, he was unable to dismiss the latter, nor persuade him to pledge allegiance. Members of Sadra's school regard Ali as the supreme metaphysician of Islam. Madelung relates that Marwan told Zayn al-Abidin, the grandson of Ali, that "No one [among the Islamic nobility] was more temperate toward our master than your master. Shia–Sunni conflict in Yemen involves the Shia insurgency in northern Yemen.[17]. Ali then moved his armies north and the two sides encamped at Siffin for more than one hundred days, most of the time being spent in negotiations. Some Shia perform prayers more than once in quick succession (1+2+2 i.e. His policies and ideas of governing are manifested in the letter he sent to Malik al-Ashtar after appointing him governor of Egypt. She also did never anger me nor did she disobey me in anything at all. He ordered Ali to break all the idols worshiped by the Banu Aus, Banu Khazraj, Tayy, and those in the Kaaba to purify it after its defilement by the polytheism of old times. [268], Effort to bring unity between Sunni and Shia Muslims had been attempted by Allama Muhammad Taqi Qummi.[93]. Ali asked Kharigites to hand over the killers, but they asserted that they did it together; and that it was permissible to shed the blood of Ali's followers(Shias). Many Shia Muslims also celebrate Imam Ali's birth anniversary (13th day of Rajab) as Father's Day in Iran. Ismail I initiated a religious policy to recognize Shiism as the official religion of the Safavid Empire, and the fact that modern Iran and Azerbaijan remain majority-Shia states is a direct result of Ismail's actions. Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas and Abdur Rahman bin Awf, who were cousins, were naturally inclined to support Uthman, who was Abdur Rahman's brother-in-law. Two of these orders are of particular significance in this question of the relation of Shiism and Sufism: The Nimatullahi order and Nurbakhshi order. [222], Ali is described as being bald, heavy built, short legged, with broad shoulders, a hairy body, a long white beard; and was affected by a form of eye inflammation. Official media refers to the fighting as armed clashes between the police and "bandits," "drug-smugglers," and "thugs," to disguise what many believe is essentially a political-religious conflict. The author has dedicated the first part of his book to a detailed account of Ali. "[177], Forced into exile in the 1970s, Saudi Shia leader Hassan al-Saffar is said to have been "powerfully influenced" by the works of Sunni Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat-e-Islami and by their call for Islamic revolution and an Islamic state. [138], On the Shia side, in early February 2006 militia-dominated government death squads were reportedly "tortur[ing] to death or summarily" executing "hundreds" of Sunnis "every month in Baghdad alone," many arrested at random. Revolutionary Guards have stationed several brigades in Balouchi cities, and have allegedly tracked down and assassinated Sunni leaders both inside Iran and in neighboring Pakistan. These five practices are essential to Sunni and Shia Muslims. [102], 'Ali was one of the electoral council to choose the third caliph which was appointed by 'Umar. -- Imam Reza (A.S.)

Thus the Christian monks vanished from Mubahala. Hence the Shia say of Ali that his face is honoured, as it was never sullied by prostrations before idols. "[111], The First Fitna, 656–661, followed the assassination of Uthman, continued during the caliphate of Ali, and was ended by Muawiyah's assumption of the caliphate. [88][89][90] While the historian Al-Baladhuri states that the altercation never became violent and ended with Ali's compliance,[91] some traditions add that Umar and his supporters forcibly entered the house, resulting in Fatimah's miscarriage of their unborn son Muhsin. According to Morteza Motahhari:[64]. [194][195] All this resulted despite the strong filial bonds, ties of commerce, and traditional friendship between the two neighboring countries. Muhammad told him to sit down, saying, "Wait! Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, have sent thousands of volunteers to fight with the Taliban regime and "in return the Taliban gave sanctuary to their leaders in the Afghan capital of Kabul."[228]. – Nahj al-Balagha: Sermon 75[144], Ali appointed 'Abd Allah ibn al'-Abbas[145] governor of Basra. "[40], During the persecution of Muslims and boycott of the Banu Hashim in Mecca, Ali stood firmly in support of Muhammad. Shia make up the majority of the citizen population in Iraq, Bahrain, Iran, and Azerbaijan, as well as being a small minority in Pakistan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Chad and Kuwait.[13][14]. [202] In 2013 a mob of several hundred attacked a house in the village of Abu Musallim near Cairo, dragging four Shia worshipers through the street before lynching them. The rebels maintained that Uthman had been justly killed, for not governing according to the Quran and Sunnah; hence, no vengeance was to be invoked. Ali opened negotiations, but Muawiyah insisted on Levantine autonomy under his rule. [89], According to some reports, as of mid-2013, the Syrian Civil War has become "overtly sectarian" with the "sectarian lines fall most sharply" between Alawites and Sunnis. This book consists of over ten thousand short sayings of Ali. [209] George Jordac, a Christian author, said that sermons without Aleph and dot had to be regarded as literary masterpieces. When Uthman declared that he would take whatever he needed from the fey', Ali exclaimed that in that case the caliph would be prevented by force. In March 2005 Salt, al-Banna's home town, saw a three-day wake for al-Banna who Jordanian newspapers and celebrants proclaimed a martyr to Islam, which by definition made the Shia victims "infidels whose murder was justified." [1][27][42] This night is called Laylat al-Mabit. For other people named Ali, see, Member of Muhammad's Household, first of the Shia Imams, and fourth Sunni Caliph (601-661), Inside view of the mosque in Najaf, before the renovations in 2008, From the death of Muhammad to the caliphate, لَا فِتَی إِلَّا عَلِيّ، لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو ٱلْفِقَار, "If two parties of the Believers fight with one another, make peace between them, but if one rebels against the other, then fight against that one which rebels, until it returns to obedience to God...", Note that Al-Baqir is also regarded as an Imam by the, See at-Tabari: at-Tarikh, vol.6, p.186; as-Suyuti: ad-Durru 'lmanthur, vol.2, pp. 661 C.E. Ali is recorded in some traditions as having forbidden those who sought to worship him in his own lifetime. (See 2007 Zahedan bombings for more information), Non-Sunni Iranian opposition parties, and Shia like Ayatollah Jalal Gange’i have criticised the regime's treatment of Sunnis and confirmed many Sunni complaints. [156] The United Nations[157] and several countries worldwide have condemned the bombings. It is narrated in Kitab al-Kafi that Amir al-Mu'minin Ali ibn Abi Talib was presented with honey and figs from locations near Baghdad. [183] This book has a prominent position in Arabic literature. Ali would often help Fatimah with the household affairs. [92] The Kitab Sulaym ibn Qays (attributed to Sulaym ibn Qays, but possibly a much later creation)[93] concludes the incident with Ali being dragged out of the house with a rope tied around his neck. According to Veccia Vaglieri, Ali, allowing himself to be nominated by rebels, was an error which "exposed him to accusations of complicity" in rebels' crime, in spit of his vain effort to detach himself from them. [262], Early sufi Hasan Al Basri was disciple of Ali. A brawl provoked, which expanded into a battle. These duties are Shahada (profession of faith), salat (prayers), Zakāt (giving of alms), Sawm (fasting, specifically during Ramadan) and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). [139][140][141] According to the British television Channel 4, from 2005 through early 2006, commandos of the Ministry of the Interior which is controlled by the Badr Organization, and, ...who are almost exclusively Shia Muslims—have been implicated in rounding up and killing thousands of ordinary Sunni civilians. [49] When the economic situations of the Muslims became better, Fatimah gained some maids but treated them like her family and performed the house duties with them. Pakistan's citizens have had serious Shia-Sunni discord. More important in the long run than these sects were the Sufi orders which spread in Persia at this time and aided in the preparing the ground for the Shiite movement of Safavids. According to a report by the Human Rights Watch: Shia Muslims, who constitute about eight percent of the Saudi population, faced discrimination in employment as well as limitations on religious practices.
