		The Shi'ahs maintain that 'Ali was the first legitimate Imam or Khalifah, or successor, to the Prophet, and therefore reject Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Usman, the first three Khalifahs of the Sunni Muslims, as usurpers.
		According to the Shi'ahs, this passage shows that the Imamate, or Khalifat, is a divine institution, the possessor thereof must be of the seed of Abraham.
		The contentions of the Shi'ahs regarding the succession have become endless, and of the proverbial seventy-three sects of Islam, not fewer than thirty-two are assigned to the Shi'ahs, and according to the Sharhu 'l-Muwaqif, there are as many as seventy-three sects of the Shi'ahs alone.

		For the Shiah, however, the imam is a divinely guided leader and the living spirit of the Prophet.
		However, as the Shiah shaped the doctrine of the Mahdi into the central tenet of their faith, Sunni scholars began to distance themselves from further speculation on the topic in an attempt to separate themselves from what fast became a politically disruptive ideology.
		That's because according to the Shiah, the Mahdi's principal task upon returning to earth will be to avenge the injustice inflicted by the Sunni authorities upon Husayn and his followers at Karbala.

		The Shi'ah account of the nomination of 'Ali by the Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, to be his successor.
		The Shi'ah traditions also give very lengthy accounts of the nomination of 'Ali by the Prophet to be his successor.
		Of these the Shi'ahs recognize the first; the second also with some modification, that is, they require that the homicide be intentional, in other words, murder, while with the Hanafiyahs it operates equally as an impediment to inheritance, though accidental.

	Alliance For Security - What do we know about Shi'ism?
		Shi'ahs are regarded as Muslims, for they accept the same guiding principles of faith, which are the belief in Muhammad as the Messenger of God, in the Qur’an as the most sacred religious text and in the five pillars of faith.
		Shi'ah theology holds that the historic Sunni caliphs except for Ali were merely temporal rulers, while the rightful and true leadership of the Muslim community
		An important theme in Shi'ah Islam is the ideal of suffering and martyrdom, particularly because Ali's son Husain and his followers were massacred by the armies of Mu'awiya's son, Yazid, at the Battle of Karbala (680 c.e.).

		Shiahs, Sunnis and Sufis (including Sikhs) are viewed as forming one united Muslim community.
		Pan-Islamism refuses to distinguish between Sunni, Shiah and Sufi; all are treated as equal.
		It is indeed often impossible in the case of certain Mughal Caliphs to determine whether the person was a Sunni or a Shiah; it is only known that they were Muslim.

		The Afghan war was responsible for changing the balance between Shiah and Sunni Pakhtun tribes of the mountainous areas due to the influx of Afghan Sunnis.
		Among these were the Tehrik-i-Nifaz-i- Fiqh Jafaria, a Shiah party set up in 1987, and the Sunni radical group, Sipah-e-Sahaba, which emerged in the 1990s, denouncing Shiahs as infidels.
		This resulted in a Shiah uprising with street protesters shouting "an eye for an eye and blood for blood", accusing Zia-ul-Haq of complicity in the crime.

		One of the most significant of these is the Shiah sect, which believes that it was Muhammad's intention that his descendants inherit the spiritual and temporal leadership of the faithful.
		Consequently, according to Shiah accounts, one Imam after another was put to death, beginning with Hasan and Husayn, grandsons of Muhammad.
		One of the features of Iranian Shiah tradition is that, in the year 873, the twelfth and last appointed Imam--only a child at the time--withdrew into "concealment" in order to escape the fate of his predecessors.

	In the Footsteps of the Martyrs - A religious procession expresses more than historical frustrations. By Reza Aslan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This was the first time in decades that Iraq's Shiite community had been allowed to celebrate the central ritual of their faith: the commemoration of Imam Husayn's martyrdom at the hands of the tyrannical Sunni Caliph, Yazid I, in the seventh century.
		As far as the Shiah are concerned, Husayn's death was not just an act of martyrdom, it was a turning point in the history of humanity.
		So, last year, when Iraq's Shiah once again flooded onto the arid plain of Karbala to observe Ashura, they held aloft pictures of their murdered or missing religious leaders and shouted angry slogans against the brutal dictator who, like the Caliph Yazid, was an icon of tyranny and oppression.

	The Berzin Archives - The Kalachakra Presentation of the Prophets of the Non-Indic Invaders (Abridged)
		It combined Mani's teachings with Shiah Islam and was followed by many Iranian intellectuals in the Abbasid court in the late eighth century.
		After their persecution by the Abbasids, many Manichaean Shiah followers turned to Ismaili Shiah Islam, which was a longer lasting opponent to the Abbasid Arab rule.
		This conclusion seems more likely, especially in light of (1) the introduction of Ismaili Shiah in Multan (northern Sindh, Pakistan) in the third-quarter of the tenth century, (2) the presence of Manichaeans in the area, especially in the mountainous regions to the north, and (3) the Ismaili conversion policy of adhesion.

		On the eighth of April, while the fighting in Baghdad was still raging, Sheikh 'Abd al-Majid al-Khoi was murdered in the holy city of Najaf, in one of the two holiest places revered by Shiah everywhere: the tomb of Imam 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib, the first Shiite imam and the fourth Islamic caliph.
		There was always a hard core of radical Islamists among the Iraqi Shiah who could be expected to demand the establishment of an Islamic Republic and the immediate withdrawal of the Americans.
		By itself it was a positive, even cathartic, event; over the last 35 years the Baath regime had mostly prevented such marches, and the Shiah were ecstatic to be free to worship in their traditional manner.

		The element that diffused the Shiah Islam in Iran was the Anatolian Turks that founded the Safevi State who were called as Kızılbaş (Red Head- member of Shiite sect).
		Especially the Shiah Islam that was followed in the period of Shah Ismail was much more different than the Shiah Islam that was understood by the Iranian people.
		As it was indicated above, the Shiah Islam that we can call with the name of identity of kizilbaş (Shiite) in the first period of the state defined the religious beliefs of this group.

		Over the years I have been asking the Sunnis and Shiahs again and again to show me at least one thing they do in their religion which is definitely from the Quran.

	GOD Alone, Quran Alone :: View topic - Hadith plagiarized from the Bible
		The first inkling I got about the influence of Christianity on the Ahlus Sunnah and Shiah are the too many similarities in the beliefs between Christianity and the Ahlus Sunnah and Shiah which are taught to us since we are children.
		To overcome this discrepancy the priests of Ahlul Sunnah and Shiah have concocted the further lie that their ridiculous and fake collections of hadith and khabar (both supposedly being recorded sayings of the Rasul) have the same stature as the revealed Quran.
		For example in the never ending struggle between the Shiah and the Ahlul Sunnah cults, the Ahlul Sunnah say that although they may have outward similarities with the Shiahs (for example they both dress up like the Thief of Baghdad) but their aqeedah differs in that the core of their beliefs are different.

		But Shiah said many Taiwanese are working for mainland firms without seeking Taipei government's permission.

		One of the most significant of these is the Shiah sect, which believes that Muhammad intended for his descendants to inherit the spiritual and temporal leadership of the faithful.
		Although Sunni Muslims vastly outnumber the Shiah today and are usually referred to by Western scholars as "orthodox" (as opposed to "heterodox" Shiah Muslims), Shiah Islam has a long and respected tradition, a tradition that only recently has become the object of serious study among a growing group of non-Muslim scholars.
		Unlike the Arabs, Persians had a long heritage of being governed by a divinely appointed monarch, and their allegiance to this figure in time converged on the Prophet's descendants and appointed successors.
