Talk:Tabarri

Deleted parts

Shi'as believe that Imamate is the continuation of Risala (apostleship); thus it is the protector of Islam. The Prophet (s) introduced them (Imams). Later every Imam introduced and stipulated the next Imam. Therefore, people who were obstacles to the Imamate and implementation of the true form of Islam and the people who were the enemies of Ahl al-Bayt are equally the enemies of God and it is necessary for all believers to dissociate from them. Shi'as by referring to some Qur'anic verses -including Sura Hud verse no. 18-19, Sura al-Anfal verse no.25 and Sura al-Mujadila verse no.22- and authentic hadiths from both Shi'ite and Sunni sides about Imam Ali (a), recognize his enemies as the enemies of God and the Prophet (s) and consider tabarri from them as necessary.

In Shi'a

Shi'as consider tabarri and its opposite, tawalli, as the two of the branches of faith and stated its meaning as the animosity towards and dissociation from the enemies of Ahl al-Bayt.

Throughout history, tabarri has either been rooted in theological differences over some issues including Imamate and succession to the Holy Prophet (s) or political intentions or even personal motives. Here, the principle of tabarri along with tawalli is of special position and meaning among the Shi'a and is considered as one of the main teachings of this sect.

Shi'as consider Imamate, based on divine designation, as one of the fundamental principles of faith and believe that designated Imamate is the continuation of Risala (apostleship) and thus protects Islam. The twelve Imams after the Prophet (s) are infallible and are designated by God, the Prophet (s) introduced them, and also every Imam introduced the next Imam. Therefore anyone who is an obstacle to the Imamate and implementation of the true form of Islam or people who were the enemies of Ahl al-Bayt; are the enemies of God and it is necessary for all believers to dissociate from them.

Shi'a by referring to the verses from the holy Qur'an as cited in 18 and 19 of sura Hud, 25 of al-Anfal, 22 of al-Mujadila- and authentic hadiths from both Shi'a and Sunni books about Imam 'Ali (a), recognize his enemies as the enemies of God and the Prophet (s) and therefore consider their tabarri necessary. --Shakeri (talk) 07:36, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
