Imamology in Twelver-Shi’ite Islamic Thought
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Hadi Qazwini, Ph.D. candidate at the University of Southern California, presents an overview of the multifaceted doctrine of Imamology in Twelver-Shiʿite thought. Specifically, he explores Imamology’s relationship to Divine Grace and Prophetology, and the ways in which this relationship produces several major doctrines that Twelver-Shiʿites would come to regard as “essentials of faith.”
This lecture is supported by the Imam Ali Chair for the Study of Shi’i Islam and Dialogue Among Islamic Legal Schools.
The Awliyah which are more emphasized in the Sunni Sufi tradition are mostly Ahlul Bayt from Imam Hassan Ibn Ali a.s..
Why is that according to Twelver Shia that the Imams only descend from Imam Husayn a.s. and not Imam Hassan?
@Abdullaah Bin Baroos
The Imams descend from Imam Hasan (a.s.) as well. The mother of Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.)
is the daughter of Imam Hasan (a.s.). So?
@@amink6291 Thank you
@@abdullaahbinbaroos6096
You're welcome.
@@amink6291 with your permisdion i would like to add.. The 9 Imams were descended both from IMAM HASSAN AND IMAM HUSSAIN, Imam Al Sajjad ibn Hussain the 4th Imam married her first cousin the daughtetr of Imam Hassan thus all the 9 Imams were from IMAM HASSAN AND IMAM HUSSAIN.
Good Effort by Hadi
What's the point of This, it's just to justify their created sect belief, no proof, only using their own made up weak narrations. If their in sahih hadiths with authentic chain of narration then why not mention in detail and put up these links
You're an idiot lmao.. imagine following the prophets friends/companions instead of his IMMEDIATE FAMILY. Enough said.
adkl96 yeah sure imagine following the cousin more then wife who until death was with him.
Tarikh Bukhari and Sahih Muslim #31.5920
One day Allah's Messenger stood up to deliver sermon at a watering place known as Khumm situated between Makkah and Medina. He praised the God, extolled Him, delivered a sermon, exhorted us, and said, "now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger from my Lord and I, in response to God's call, bid good bye to you, but I am leaving among you 2 weighty things--the one being the book of God in which there is right guidance and light so hold fast to the book of God and adhere to it. He exhorted us to hold fast to the book of God and then said the 2nd are the members of my household. I remind you of your duties to the members of my family."
Mustadrak Hakim #47576 certifies this next tradition as authentic by the criteria of Bukhari and Muslim.
Zayd ibn Arqam said,
When the messenger of Allah was returning from the farewell pilgrimage he arrived at Ghadeer Khumm. He stood between two trees and said, "I have been called to deliver a message, so I have responded. I have left among you 2 weighty items, one of which--the book of God--is greater than the other, and [the second is] my close family ('itrah). Watch how you succeed me with respect to the two of them, as the two will not separate until they come to me at the fount." He then said, "Allah the Great and Glorious, is my master (mawla), and I am the master of every believer." He then grabbed the hand of Ali and said, "Whosoever master I am, this is his master. O Allah, be guardian (wali) of his devotee, and be the enemy of his enemy."
According to Musnad Hanbal #18502 , Bara' ibn Azib said,
We were with the messenger of Allah on a trip when we arrived in Ghadir Khumm. Congregational prayers were called for us, and the Messenger of Allah swept an area between two trees and prayed the noon prayers there. He then held the hand of Ali and said, "Do you not know that I am more of a master (wali) over the believers than their own selves?" They replied, "Yes!" He said, "Do you not know that I am more of a master over each believer than his own self?" They replied, "Yes!" He held the hand of Ali and said, "Whosoever master I am, Ali is his master. O Allah, be the guardian (wali) of his devotee, and be the enemy of his enemy." Umar went to him after this and said, "Congratulations, O son of Abu Talib, for you spend your days and nights as the master of every believing man and woman."
See the following sunni historical and biographical texts, tafseer, and hadith below where the Prophet said: "Whosever mawla I am, Ali is his mawla." Or alternatively, "whosever wali I am, Ali is his wali. O Allah! Take as wali he who takes Ali as wali and be the enemy of his enemy." They are:

Yanabi al-Mawaddah 3:281-3, 3:284-5, and 3:380-1. This source some say is from a Shia. But the author of this says he is Sunni but has intense love for Ahlul Bayt.
In Yanabi al-Mawaddah 3:284-5, regarding the 12 Imams:
"According to Jabir ibn Abd Allah al Ansari, the Messenger of Allah siad my executors are 12... the first of them is the chief of the executors (sayyid al awsiya), the father of the imams Ali, he his two sons, Hasan and Husayn, so stick to them and do not allow the ignorance of the ignorant to deceive you... when the time of Husayn passes, the imam will be his son Ali, entitled Zayn al-Abiden. After him will be his son Muhammad, entitled al-Baqir. After him will be his son Jafar, called As Sadiq. After him will be his son Musa, called al Kazim. After him will be his son Ali, called al Rida. After him will be his son Muhammad, called al Taqi or al Zaki. After him will be his son Ali, called al Naqi and al Hadi. After him will be his son Hasan, called al-Askari. After him will be his son Muhammad, called al Mahdi, al Qaim, and al Hujjah. He will go into occultation and then come out. When he comes out, he will fill the earth with righteousness and justice the same way it was filled with oppresion and injustice. The patient oness during this occultation will be blessed with the blessings of the pious for their love of these imamas. Allah has described them in His Book, where He says, 'a guide for the pious--those who believe in the unseen."
Sahih Muslim #31.5920-3
The Prophet said, "I am leaving among you two weighty things, one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it... The second are the members of my household (Ahl al-Bayt; Quran 33:33). I remind you of the members of my family."
Sunan Tirmidhi #3788; Musnad Hanbal #11147 and #11119; and Fada il Hanbal #1382
The Prophet said: I leave for you that which, if you stick to it, you will never be misguided after me. One is greater than the other. The Book of Allah, which is a rope extending from heaven to earth, and my close family (itrah), my Ahl al Bayt. They will not separate from one another until they come to me at the fount. So watch how you succeed me (takhlufuni, form the same root as khalif) in the two."

In Yanabi al-Mawaddah 3:284-5, regarding the 12 Imams
"According to Jabir ibn Abd Allah al Ansari, the Messenger of Allah siad my executors are 12... the first of them is the chief of the executors (sayyid al awsiya), the father of the imams Ali, he his two sons, Hasan and Husayn, so stick to them and do not allow the ignorance of the ignorant to deceive you... when the time of Husayn passes, the imam will be his son Ali, entitled Zayn al-Abiden. After him will be his son Muhammad, entitled al-Baqir. After him will be his son Jafar, called As Sadiq. After him will be his son Musa, called al Kazim. After him will be his son Ali, called al Rida. After him will be his son Muhammad, called al Taqi or al Zaki. After him will be his son Ali, called al Naqi and al Hadi. After him will be his son Hasan, called al-Askari. After him will be his son Muhammad, called al Mahdi, al Qaim, and al Hujjah. He will go into occultation and then come out. When he comes out, he will fill the earth with righteousness and justice the same way it was filled with oppresion and injustice. The patient oness during this occultation will be blessed with the blessings of the pious for their love of these imamas. Allah has described them in His Book, where He says, 'a guide for the pious--those who believe in the unseen.'
@Angie J no problem. I have a glossary of proofs from Quran and hadith verifying Islam Original is Quran and Ahlul Bayt. All sunni sources.
Im shia. Not one source I've referenced is from shia literature. Which goes to show the truth. We shia follow Aale Muhammad, who is Aale Ibrahim. Ill leave you with this, wa assalam.
Quran 42:23 and 25:57. Loving the Prophet's close ones is the way to Allah. Quran 34:47 its not for the Prophet's sake, but for our own selves.

@Angie J of course sister. It would be my pleasure to help if I can.
@Angie J yes, the Ali the tradition refers to is Imam Ali, husband of Lady Fatima. He was the Prophet's first cousin as well.
The Prophet said "Verily Ali is ftom me and I am from him." He told Ali, "You are from me and I am from you." The Prophet also told Gabriel, "Verly Ali is from me and I am from him."
