We don't like non Muslims explaining Islam but we get only Salafis explaining Shiaism here. Let us have Shias explaining Shiaism or name this channel as Salafi theology.

Defending Moawwia is not a tennant of Islam or even Sunnism given that Sunnis believe Ali as the rightfuul Caliph but not Moawia, doesn't this say something? This man comes from Nasbi cult.

Great, more on Shia Islam. Although Sunni Islam is more than 85% of Ummah, Shia Islam is the only other normative form of Islam. We Sunnis need to know about it. Great job Paul.

May Allah Bless and Reward Both of you in this Life and in the Hereafter.

Pls do not forget to release these on podcast too, for those of us who listen in the car.

Very cool topic, what a blessing this channel is

Alhamdullilah, very much needed video.

Alhamdulillah for Islam

It’s like asking a Zionist to explain the rights of Palestinians. This is so absurd

Brother Abdullah always explains so well in detail. May Allah reward him. May Allah also reward you for inviting him on your channel to share his thoughts.

If Paul Williams is truly fair-minded and balanced he should allow a Shi'i rebuttal to this Wahhabi propaganda. The Shi'a are busy doing real work in MENA and defending Palestine and Takfiris/Salafis/Wahhabis/Sunnis are busy with foolishness and siding with Tel Aviv.

My dearest brother Paul would urge you to contact a credible scholar such as Syed Ali Hur kamonpoori to explain the the jafri school of thought or Shia sect and its analysis with Zaidi and Ahle Sunnah. He has a channel Al Islaah strongly recommend to get a sincere insight into these schools of thought

Yemen has always been Shāfi’i - a tradition still very well preserved for centuries in the south & parts of the north like Taiz, Ibb & the Tihama in general by well established prominent sunni scholarly households like the Ba’alawis [آل باعلوي] in Hadramout or the Ahādilah [الأهادلة] in Al Hudaydah etc. There is also a large percentage of Zaydis; historically & currently part of the theological fabric of Yemen, almost exclusively in the north. In recent years, foreign actors have made attempts to encroach on this theological fabric for whatever geopolitical or economic motives, such as the Saudi-exported push of Wahābi Najdi influence among the Sunni populations beginning in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s, or an Iranian-exported push of Rafidi Majūsi influence among the Zaydi populations. Both are foreign to Yemen, aim to exacerbate differences, and must be outright rejected.

I love Ahl al Bait immensely and i really love your works on them. And i would like to buy your books if i can. I'm from Malaysia

Please invest in some new skins audio systems. BT is too important a platform for laptop loud speaker technology audio. Jazakallah Khair

This whole idea of a school being prone to a wide spectrum of political extremes is very insightful!

Brother Paul, why don't you hear about Shiism from the Shia themselves? For example hearing about Islam from Christians will not be useful, and they will give you a bad idea about Islam, and you will not know the truth unless you engage in dialogue with the Muslims themselves I think you should ask shia themselves

To learn about Shia get a Shia scholar not a scholar who opposes the sect vehemently being inaccurate and biased

There is a master's thesis entitled Badr al-Din al-Houthi and his critical views, a presentation and criticism by Sheikh Rajeh bin Sultan al-Buqami. I believe the thesis at Umm Al-Qura University, and the thesis was before the Yemen war, so it was important in understanding the Houthi thought and his religious approach.

The Mutamad in the Zaydi Madhab is that it is preferable to follow a living mujtahid rather than a dead one. On what happened to some Scholars of the Zaydiyya is that some of them, after becoming mujtahids, diverged closer to Ahl al Sunnah but that doesnt mean that all of them, who became closer to Sunnis, actually saw themselves as Sunnis, Zaydism in its essence is a Firqah, an Group based on certain principles of Usul al-Din, as long as someone adheres to those principles he is called Zaydi even when he diverges in Fiqh or on smaller matters of itiqad. Thats why there are some Zaydis who are more positive or less positive on the matter of the righteousness of the Sahabah. In Fiqh as an example there where in the past more than one Zaydi Madhab, Qasimiyya, Nasiriyya and Hadawiyya (the remaining one). On the Matter of Yemeni Politics, the Zaydis are a political Sect, for them the Matter of Imamah is Central, thats why they dont back down on these matters. The Ahl al Sunnah in Yemen is more democratic and thats why sunni yemenis complain about Zaydis, cause they dont want to live under Zaydi rule. And Huthis arent Rafidha, they are called like this because their political enemies of ahl al sunnah need a good argument to urge the people to fight them. The Zaydis past and present dont insult the Sahabah except the fact that they hate Muawiya and his followers for their crimes against the Ummah and the righteous Khalif/Imam Ali -alayhi salam-. It this makes them Rafidha, than most of the Ahl al Bayt in the History of Islam and all of the Zaydis are rafidha and that is not restricted to the Huthis. P.S: What Abdullah al-Rabbat is explaining is a subjectively sunni view dont expect objectivity.

Valuable talk. I learned a lot.

Yes, my dear brothers, my beloved Palestine is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it contains Al-Aqsa, the third holiest place for us Muslims in Palestine. Bethlehem, the cradle of Christ, is a blessed land, and it is the holy land, and it has been our land for tens of thousands of years, and it is the land of the Canaanite Arabs, the original Palestinian people, and they have lived in it since the Islamic conquest in the era. The Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman Arabs, Muslims, Christians and Jews are like brothers and neighbors under Palestinian rule to the owners of the land, but the Zionists came and the British occupation brought them to our land as compensation to the Jews for what they did to them Hitler. The question here is that who did the Holocaust, the Germans, why do I, the Palestinian Arab, pay the price? Why not Germany? Why do I, the Muslim, pay the price for crimes? Committed by the Germans and Nazi Europe, fascism is the root of all evil in the world. Our problem is the occupation❤Palestine is an area of ​​more than 27 thousand square kilometers and is on the borders of Egypt and Jordan, which historically is part of Palestine and the people of Jordan, more than 70 percent of whom are of Palestinian origin, but Britain made them a state and brought agents to the Jordanian ruling dynasty in order to rule Jordan and protect the occupation from the Jordanian-Palestinian people Palestine Its capital, Jerusalem, is the land of the Palestinian people for tens of thousands of years. It is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it is the third holiest place for us Muslims. It is a land where most of God’s prophets lived, were born, and died. It is the holy and blessed land and the land of the Palestinian and Arab people. Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived there for thousands of years as neighbors and brothers before the Zionists occupied our land. Britain brought them in the Balfour Declaration to occupy our land. Those who committed the Holocaust against the Jews were the Germans and the West, not me. القدس عاصمة فلسطين الابدية ❤

Really want to learn more on Zaidism & al Syaukani

Could you make a video on the Caspian Zaydis. And the similarities and differences in their theology compared to the Yemeni Zaydis

I like this channel but other than it occasionally just lets someone go on Shiaphobic rants without letting Shia speak for themselves which creates divisions and misrepresentations of the truth

Brother Paul this is inaccurate or intentional dishonest. Kindly contact a learned Shia Usooli Scholar this brother appears to be extremely biased

Thanks

You cant invite a non Shia Muslim to explaim Shia Islam, stop with this! Its like christians explaning sunni islam and labelling them ad !S!S

Why is hadramawt shown as Shia there? It is Sunni shafaee

We need more talk on unity, more focus on what unites not what divides

Praying with Sadl is not shia but Maliki.

There is no such thing as Sunni Islam or Shia Islam, there is only one Islam. Leave these things aside, O servants of Allah, and be brothers. Blasphemy is a single nation...

Insightful episode

This is going to be a goooooood video🙌🏼

شكرا جزيلا

MashaAllah this was excellent may Allah reward the two of you. The connection between the students of Al Shawkani and the Salafis of the subcontinent is amazing. Also the comment about the spectrum and people coming closer to the truth,many times the students of such scholars end up whole heatedly embracing the truth. So despite all odds, there is much fruit from their leaning towards truth.

As a Yemeni, Imamah was the worst thing happened in our history. Their times were full of ignorance, sickness and oppression.

Islam is a religion of fitra, but the shias have added to many bidaa such as self flagellation, mud bathing, fire walking etc. I am uncomfortable with their taqiya and muta doctrines. They are imam centric while sunni is Allah centric. Plus, their hatred for sahaba is just crazy. We don't even hate the people who changed the religion of Jesus PBUH by adding trinity. It doesn't make sense at all

Why do Sunnis’s always invite Sunnis to talk about Shias?? Try inviting a Shia like Ammar Nakshawani to understand the true view of Shia Islam without all the bias and additional false information that is typically propagated.

Hope Paul will keep this great channel open to different schools of thoughts and opinions, and not let it be hijacked by Wahhabism.

Your mic sounds choppy, kinda distracting

There was no shia in prophet Muhammad era, their holy 12 imams are similar teaching as 12 disciples in christianity

Ya Muqallib al-quloob thabbit qalbi 'ala deenik يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِى عَلَى دِينِكَ “O Controller of hearts, make my heart firm in Your religion.”

Please involve authentic Shia scholar to answer these contentious issues because brother Abdullah Al Rabat commentary and arguments are biased..

Shia is cult devieted sect ,any Muslim who knows about Tawhid if read Shia Books he will clearly understand that Shia sect is devieted. May Allah guide all of us to true Islam, Aameen.

The term "stan" is of Persian origin and means "place" or "earth". This suffix is ​​commonly used in Persian and other related languages ​​such as Pashto, Urdu and Turkish, which have been influenced by Persian. Historically, these regions were part of or were influenced by the Persian Empire or the later Islamic Caliphate, which spread the Persian language and culture. The use of "stan" in place names indicates a geographical or ethnic designation, such as "Afghanistan" meaning "land of the Afghans" and "Uzbekistan" meaning the land of the Uzbeks. This nomenclature reflects the historical linguistic and cultural ties of these regions. For example, the name of Pakistan also uses the same suffix does, which means the land of the pure. That's it Like the names of countries like Turkmenistan and Tajikistan Refer to the land of their respective nationalities. This suffix not only indicates geographical identity but also Also describes the cultural and historical heritage of the regions. Therefore, the use of "Sta

I’ve been watching blogging theology and have been impressed with their production of interesting discussions with credible intellectuals. I was extremely shocked watching the above video which is clearly designed to fuel sectarianism. The brother is provided incredible and is being inaccurate or intentionally dishonest when describing Zaidi school of thought or the jafri relying on akhbari resources as opposed to the most credible usooli resources and scholars who are the authority on Shia philosophy. I strongly suggest that the organisers of such discussions should contact credible learned Shia Scholars to describe their perspectives. I would recommend speaking to an usooli scholar such as Syed Ali Hurr Kamanpoori who in my humble opinion is most qualified and would give you a fairer analysis of Shia Twelvers and Zaidi. Would be beneficial for objective enquirers

Bassam Zawadi, the anti-Ash'ari wahhabi troll, doing videos on blogging theology? Disappointed in Brother Paul. And this Shawkani was ra'is al-mubtadiyyin in his area.

get let's talk religion on here.

Why are you having non-Shi’as Muslims explaining Shi’a Islam? The fact that this person keeps using the term Rafidhi shows his extremist takfiri leanings. Is this the type of Islam Paul is learning? Bring a learned Ahi’a scholar to explain Shi’a history, theology, and jurisprudence. Very disappointing.

Sunni, Zaydi shia does it matter? Zaydis are the closest to Sunnis. As a Sunni I am against sectarianism from any sides.

According to a famous narration, the holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that his Ummah would split into 73 factions. But what he was really talking about? the best answer is that the 1st split-up disqualified the Saqifah faction which has forsaken the divinely appointed Mawla Ali at the farewell of Ghadir Khum. The next 71 split-ups occurred among the Shia of Mawla Ali and disqualified 71 factions one by one in the midst of trials. Finally, we are left with the only qualified faction, the Shia-led Axis, which has remained faithful to the path of the holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his twelve rightful successors.

1:07:45 It won’t be a true “Renaissance” unless it admits the divine appointment of Mawla Ali at the farewell of Ghadir Khum 😂

Beware Shawkaniyy was not a scholar of Ahl us Sunnah wal Jama'ah. He innovated the invalid belief that has spread that if a person utters kufr without being compelled by the threat of death, citing it, by the slip of the tongue, or a misinterpretation that is not against the fundamentals of the creed, if he does not accept it in his heart then this individual is not deemed a kafir. Hence by his invalid fatwa if a person cursed Allah and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and this individual was not forced to do so one would have to ask him how he felt about the kufr he uttered before one can deem him as a kafir. This is a door 🚪 to kufr. He is not a scholar, scholars protect people from kufr they don't open the door to it.

Please try to understand SHI'SM is not ISLAM. Don't use the word SHIA ISLAM. Shia cult was launched by a Jewish person guised in the clothes of Muslim by the name of Abdullah Bin Saba from Yemen in the period of 3rd Caliph Hazrat Usman and was finally burned by Hazrat Ali RA in his caliphate. Islam is one which people call SUNNI ISLAM taken from Ahlay Sunna Wal Jamma. NOTE: I haven't watched the video but I'm making it clear for everyone that because of these Cults the true picture of ISLAM is not been displayed in front of the Wetsten World and it is distorting the true picture of Islam. SHI'ISM is a branch of Judaism.

Salaams, blogging theory I would recommend and for anyone else checking out ammar nakshawani and especially his new series on Muharram, it covers some brilliant lectures that will explain in more depth. Also books to read which are excellent are from Muhammad Tijani's, then I was guided, ask those who know, he has a few. It changes ones heart and mind with sincere truth seeking.

❤

Who are you to call the Houthis heretics. You must see the brave men of Ansarallah as bad to hide the fact that the Sunni nations. Failed to fight for Palestine while the Houthis and Shia perform jihad . The Sunni nations help Israel break the blockade and you talk about extremism from Houthis … You also briefly mentioned Ibin fitna aka ibin Taymiyah which explains why you’re so sectarian .

Around 38:33 the brother says the ahl us-sunnah belief is that if somebody dies unrepentant they will be eventually forgiven. But this is not true at all, as this is the position of the murji`ah and not the ahl us-sunnah. The position of the ahl us-sunnah is that it depends on whether the sins unrepented for are minor sins or major sins. If they are the minor sins unrepented for this can get very technical (and I am sorry but I simply do not have the energy to type such a large amount of text only for it most likely not to be read anyway) and if they are major sins such as al-kufr, shirk billah, alcohol, zina, murder and they are unrepented for then the position of the ahl us-sunnah is this will result in hell forever. The position of the khawaarij is that minor sins are a cause of unbelief and major sins will be a cause of hell forever whether repented for or not. It is important to get these things correct in-shaa' Allah...

Believe me when i say this type of sectarianism is unislamic according to the very Quran. We should not be decided.

Great scientific achievement. Wahhabi presenting shi'a beliefs!

Mashallah I would have never thought you would read into Shiasm. Just be careful of being one 😂

Only Jesus Christ is the truth

Brother abdullah is clearly from nawasib cult

The true Islam is only manifest in the Quran therefore, has got nothing to do with historical Islam which resulted in many sects and cults such as Sunni, Shia and many other names which all are wrong and based on unauthenticated Ahadith and their writers. If there is no god(s) but Allah so there can't be any other book but the Glorious Quran. And finally, as the Quran says, that put your trust in Allah only as His Messenger did. Do you want better Hadith than Quran??? Period.

You can't even provide accurate duration of the schooler and you consider your self an expert

thanks for the insightful podcast, you called the foundations of zaydis as corrupt, but they are corrupt in your theological view. Your theological view is not the truth you could have said this is the zaydi view and I disagree.

This brother is slandering the jafri school of thought and is not qualified to provide a fair explanation of Shia school of thought

Not theologically but Shia islam is Politically correct.. Sunnism is just numb..

Seriously disappointed

If sunnis gave the Ahlulbait the love and respect they deserve Shiism would quickly become irrelevant (general statement- some do demonstrate love for ahlulbait)

i want to disclose the reality that Imam Shaukani was the great Islamic Scholar & still today he is among the great Islamic scholar # there is a verse in Quran says " وتلو علیھم نبا اللذى اتيناه عن اياتنا........ فمثله كمثل الكلب " # " O prophet just inform them about the man we ( Allah almighty) had given ..... but he was just similar to a dog . if U throw ( a bone ) he ( dog ) comes with hanging tongue & if U hit him his tongue still hanging out " # no scholar haf ever interpreted who was that man Allah refers him as dog except Imam Shaukani said he was the prophet sent to the children of Israel # 🇵🇰

Biased take. He should have thoroughly tackled the exact reasons why zaidis and shias in general have a beef with sahaba and let the viewers make up their minds. Both sects, sunnis and shias, love to sanctify the people who surrounded the prophet even though he himself was just a human whose 3ssmah عصمة was only limited to the transfer of the Quran. The book already reprimanded the prophet himself a few times.

Disappointingly bigoted diatribe

JESUS IS GOD 👑✝️🕊️ THE SAVIOUR OF HUMANITY 🌿❤️🌿

Brother abdullah is clearly from nawasib cult
