Shia's Doctrine of Bada

OF THE VARIOUS VIEWS AND PROPOSITIONS WHICH 'ABD ALLAH
IBN SABA' HAD PROPAGATED AMONG HIS FOLLOWERS (SHIAS),
THE PROPOSITION OF BADA IS QUITE IMPORTANT. BADA
IMPLIES SAYING THAT SOMETHING HAS INTERVENED (WHICH
HAS CAUSED ALLAH TO ALTER HIS PREVIOUS DETERMINATION) ,
I.E. GENERALLY THROUGH THE POSSIBILITY OF HIS
FORGETFULNESS OR IGNORANCE. BUT ALLAH IS UNDOUBTEDLY
FAR REMOVED FROM SUCH BLASPHEMY THAT THE SHIA
ENTERTAIN IN REGARD TO HIM.

AL-BADA SIGNIFIES KNOWLEDGE WHICH (ACCORDING TO THE
SHIA) ALLAH DOES NOT POSSES BEFOREHAND. THIS IS WHAT
THE SHIA HOLD ABOUT ALLAH WHILE ALLAH CLARIFIES HIS
KNOWLEDGE AS SPOKEN OF BY HAZRAT MUSA (PEACE BE UPON
HIM):

"MY LORD ERRETH NOT, NEITHER DOTH HE FORGET".
(AL-QUR'AN, 20:35)

HE FURTHER DESCRIBES HIMSELF BY SAYING: "HE IS ALLAH,
BESIDES WHOM THERE IS NONE WORTHY TO BE WORSHIPPED. HE
KNOWETH THAT WHICH IS HIDDEN AND THAT WHICH IS
APPARENT" (59:22) HE SAYS: "AND THAT ALLAH
COMPREHENDETH ALL THINGS BY (HIS) KNOWLEDGE" (65:12).

BUT THE SHIA ON THE OTHER HAND, HOLD A FALSE NOTION
ABOUT ALLAH. THEY DO NOT SIMPLY BELIEVE IN BADA BUT
THEY RATHER GO FURTHER AHEAD AND GIVE ALL RESPECT TO
THOSE WHO HOLD THIS FALSE NOTION. AL-KULAINI RELATES
ON THE AUTHORITY OF JA'FAR WHO IS REPORTED TO HAVE
SAID: "(ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION) 'ABD ALMUTTALIB
WILL BE RAISED AS ONE SINGLE NATION. HE WILL WEAR THE
RESPLENDENCE OF THE KINGS AND IDENTITIES OF THE
PROPHETS. THIS IS BECAUSE HE WAS THE FIRST TO PROCLAIM
THE PROPOSITION OF BADA". (AL-KAFI, BOOK AL-HUJJA, EDN
INDIA, VOL. 1 P. 282).

BADA LITERALLY MEANS APPEARANCE. IN THE DOGMATIC
SENSE, WITH THE SHI'ITES, IT SIGNIFIES THE
INTERVENTION OF NEW CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH BRING ABOUT
THE ALTERATION OF AN EARLIER DEVINE DETERMINATION.
THERE ARE THREE SORTS OF BADA, NAMELY, BADA' AL'LLM
(OF THE KNOWLEDGE), BADA' AL-IRADA (OF THE WILL) AND
BADA' AL-AMR (OF THE COMMAND) OF ALLAH.

ONLY IN THE RECENT PAST, HAVE THE SHI'ITES UNDERTAKEN
TO PUBLISH IN THE MUSLIM WORLD A HUGE LITERATURE
FABRICATED AND EMBELLISHED WITH LIES, WHEREIN THEY
CLAIM TO BE VERY CLOSE TO THE AHL AL-SUNNA ( PEOPLE OF
THE APPROVED PATH). BUT IF IT IS TRULY EXPRESSED, THEY
ONLY INTEND TO DISTORT THE SUNNAH AND ARDENTLY WISH
THAT THE MUSLIMS SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR VIEWS AND SHOULD
ACCEPT SUCH SUPERSTITIOUS AND FABULOUS THINGS AS HAVE
BEEN WOVEN BY THE HANDS OF THE JEWS-SUCH AS LIES
ATTRIBUTEDTO ALLAH THAT THE DOGMA OF BADA, IS A
REALITY, AND THAT THE BOOK OF ALLAH (NAMELY, THE
QUR'AN) AS IT IS AVAILABLE IN OUR HANDS IS NOT GENUINE
BUT IS IN A CORRUPTED FORM, AND IS FULL OF
ALTERATIONS, AS REGARDS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH THE
SHI'ITES BELIEVE THAT THE WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL IN HIS
MISSION AS AFTER HIS DEATH, HIS FOLLOWERS TURNED AWAY
FROM ISLAM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THREE FOR FOUR. IN
RESPECT OF HIS COMPANIONS (SAHABAH) WHO HAVE BEEN THE
REAL PROPAGATORS OF THE DIN THEY HOLD THAT THEY WERE
TRAITORS AND RENEGADES, INCLUDING ABU BAKAR, UMAR AND
UTHMAN. AS REGARS THE WIVES OF THE PROPHET (SAW), THE
MOTHERS OF THE FAITHFUL, INCLUDING AMONG THEM THE
NOBLEST AND PUREST OF THEM AS TESTIFIED BY ALLAH
HIMSELF IN HIS BOOK, THE SHI'ITES THINK THAT THEY WERE
TREACHEROUS UNTO ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER. AND AS
REGARDS THE VARIOUS IMAMS (LEADERS) OF RELIGION LIKE
MALIK, ABU HANIFA, AL SHAFI'I AND AHMAD BIN HANBAL --
MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH THEM AND BE MERCIFUL UNTO
THEM ALL -- THE SHI'ITS HOLD THAT THESE WERE
UNBELIEVERS AND REJECTED.

"THE SHIAS ARE NOTHING BUT A TOOL IN THE HANDS OF THE
JEWS WHO ARE WREAKING VENGEANCE AGAINST ISLAM &
MUSLIMS'' SO OBSERVES ALLAMA AHSAN ELAHI ZAHEER IN HIS
BOOK THE SHIITES AND THE SUNNAH. THE ALLAMA WRITES
FURTHER IN HIS BOOK:

"THE JEWS ARE NESTLING A DEEP-ROOTED RANCOUR AGAINST
THE MUSLIMS AND MORE ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE LEADING
COMPANIONS OF THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH AND THOSE WHO
TREAD IN THEIR PATH........ WHENEVER THERE BEFELL A
CLAMITY OR WHENEVER THERE ACCURED A DISASTER AND
WHENEVER THERE CAME DOWN A CATASTROPHE UPON THE
MUSLIMS, IT IS ALWAYS DUE TO SHIA CONSPIRACIES. LOOK
AT BAGHDED! IT IS DYED RED WITH ITS BLOOD SPLIT AT THE
HANDS OF IBN AL-ALQAMI... .. (PAGES 8--21).

FROM THIS IT IS NOTED THAT WHOEVER OPPOSED THE SHIA
ALWAYS SAID: THE SHIA AND THE RAFIDA HAVE TAKEN THEIR
ORIGIN FROM JUDAISM.

RAFIDA ARE THOSE WHO REJECTED ZAID IBN ALI WHEN THE
LATTER REFUSED TO CONDEMN THE SHAIKHAIN, ABU BAKAR AND
UMAR AND TO REJECT THEIR CALIPHATE. RAFD MEANS
REJECTION OF THE CALIPHATE/ CALIPHSHIP OF HAZRAT ABU
BAKAR AND UMAR.

THE MAJLIS-UL-ULAMA OF SOUTH AFRICA (P.O. BOX 3393,
PORT ELIZABETH, REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA) IS BRINGING
OUT A SERIES OF PAMPHLETS ON VARIOUS ASPECTS OF
SHIAISM IN ORDER TO MAKE A SURVEY OF THE BASIS OF SHIA
DOCTRINES, THE PRINCIPLES OF THEIR FAITH, AND THE
BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SHIA AND AHL AL-SUNNAH
(SUNNI MUSLIMS). IN SUCH A SERIES THE SHIAS COULD ALSO
KNOW THE REALITY OF THEIR DOCTRINES WHICH WERE
ORIGINALLY REARED AND NURTURED BY THE JEWS WHO LATTER
PLANTED THESE IN THE MUSLIM WORLD. IT IS AN IGNOBLE
STIGMA ON THE FAIR NAME OF ISLAM. THE SLOGAN OF
"UNITY" IS BEING REAISED BY KHOMENI AND OTHER SHIA
PRIESTS SO AS TO PAVE THE WAY FOR THEIR INSINUATIONS
AND PROPAGANDA AND THEREBY POISIONING THE MINDS OF THE
MUSLIMS.

THE READERS ARE REQUESTED TO MAKE DUA THAT ALLAH
TA'ALA GRANTS THE MAJLIS-UL-ULAMA OF SOUTH AFRICA THE
TAUFEEQ AND THE MEANS OF EXPOSING THE BAATIL SECTS
OPERATING UNDER THE COVER OF ISLAM
