Iran leader orders Muslims to defend Palestinians
By Zahra Hosseinian

TEHRAN, Dec 28 (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader issued a religious decree to Muslims around the world on Sunday, ordering them to defend Palestinians in Gaza against Israeli attacks "in any way possible", state television reported.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also declared Monday a day of public mourning in Iran after Israel killed more than 280 Palestinians in two days of air strikes on Gaza.

"All Palestinian combatants and all the Islamic world's pious people are obliged to defend the defenceless women, children and people in Gaza in any way possible," Khamenei said.

"Whoever is killed in this legitimate defence, is considered a martyr," he said in a statement.

A religious decree is an official statement by a ranking religious leader that commands Muslims to carry out its message. While there is no religious and legal force behind it, Khamenei is respected by many Iranian and non-Iranian Shi'ites.

Iran refuses to recognise Israel, which accuses Tehran of supplying Hamas Islamists with weapons. Iran denies the claim, saying it only provides moral support to the group.

Israeli leaders said their campaign was a response to almost daily rocket and mortar fire by Gaza militants that intensified after Hamas ended a six-month ceasefire a week ago.

Khamenei criticised some Arab governments for their lack of response towards the Israeli raids.

"The even greater catastrophe is the encouraging silence of some Arab governments who claim to be Islamic," he said, also accusing the West of being indifferent to the killing of Palestinians.

Khamenei, Iran's most powerful authority, urged Muslim countries to punish Israeli leaders.

"The officials of this regime ... should be tried and punished for this crime by Islamic governments."

Khamenei's remarks were interpreted by some oil traders as a hint that Iran was calling on oil-producing Arab countries to disrupt energy shipments to Israel.

The West accuses Iran of covertly trying to build nuclear bomb, a charge rejected by Tehran.

But Israel's insistence that the Islamic state must not be allowed to develop atomic weapons has fuelled speculation that the Jewish state, widely assumed to have the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal, could mount its own pre-emptive strike.

Various protests were held in Tehran on Sunday, including one by Iranian lawmakers chanting "Death to Israel".

Iran is ready to receive Palestinians wounded in the raids, foreign ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said.

Tehran denounced Israel's attacks as "unforgivable" on Saturday. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the raids showed Israel's "weakness". (Writing by Zahra Hosseinian; Editing by Giles Elgood)

Asalaam u alaykum,

I wonder if any Muslims will actually go to Palestine to defend them.

I'm also very interested to see what action the Arab countries will take, I mean they only need to threaten to take out thier money of the US economy, and Israel are nothing without their support.

Walaykum aslaam.

its amazing that this Shi3a irani, expresses so much anguish for palestinian arabs while in his own country they are executing arabs in the Ahwaz region just because they speak arabic and confiscating their houses and lands, and as well as sunnies.

Very true, the Ahlus Sunnah of Iran suffer tremendously at the hands of the rawafid.

Its hypocrisy.

:salam2: brother,I'm really confused about this shia-sunni thing.Even though I've been born muslim I never knew about that till recently but i know some blame the shia a lot yet they're always defending most muslims suffering around the world by speaking out and those who we don't blame mostly don't say anything about our brothers and sisters dying evrywhere
i'm really confused but alhamdulillah since I didn't know about these all I got is the quran and sunna
forgive me if I've wronged someone just wanted to make a point in here!

 

[maryjo]

I cant beleive they even have the nerve to talk. As if those sunni-haters give a damn if the Palestinians live or not. They are praying to their khumyni that they worship to wipe out all the Sunna, especially those of Palestine, so that they and the jews can live together-----bcz they both have the same ultimate goal ----> KILL MUSLIMS
Another thing-The Iranians made a fitni between hamas and fatah, so that they would turn against each other and fight and leave Isreal alone. IRAN and ISREAL are on the SAME side SOOOOO WAKE UP and SEE WHO UR ENEMIES ARE bcz sometimes they can act as if they are ur bestfriend........

I apogise dear sister but i must that I do not agree with you and with your sense Alhamdulillah.
I think we can not blame all Iranian Muslims and talk generaly if this is only the fault of Iranain goverment,and we can not blame all people that are living there Alhadmulillah.As the same as we can not blame all Muslims that are living in some other Muslim countres and which are doing nothing for our Muslim Ummah!!!!

If our dialog countinue like this than we should ask our selves where the Islam will be,and our enomies will use our disunity in thier favour.

May Allah guide us all.Ameen.

Dear brother maybe that is truth and maybe something is not exactly truth and Allah knows the best.But still not all Muslims in Iran are like that,and Alhamdulillah we can never talk in general.

May Allah guide us all.

Assalamu alaykum,

If you learn about TAWHEED, you would know why the Shia are Not Muslims.

They associate partners with Allah. Yes, that is right, they supplicate to Ali, Hussain, HAssan and others.

They reject the Sunnah, by having their own books. They give their own interpretations to the Quran by twisting the meanings or looking for multiple meanings of words, rather than their literal meanings. Astaghfirullah.

I suggest that, you do not look simply at people who call themselves "Muslims", the Ahmediyya call themselves Muslims, they believe in a Prophet after the Prophet Muhammad as well as doing many many other big sins, the Alewi Shia call themselves Muslims, yet they say Ali is God.

Shia also believe in various other practices that are not from Islam, such as temporary marriage called "Mutah", which was forbidden by the Prophet . This is basically legalised prostitution, where women are treated badly, they are married just for a few days or even hours, the man does what he wants and then they divorce. Even, they believe the children from such marriages are not real children and under their laws, they can even marry them at a later stage! it is very sick! They set up brothels, which have their Imams sitting ready to do Nikah for marriages..

They have many many shrines where the people do so many wrong things, chanting worshipping other than Allah, to their 12 Imams.

They believe their 12 Imams have knowledge of the future and know when is day of judgement, astaghfirullah, knowledge only Allah has.

Please do not get fooled by their rhetoric and lies. Study Islam properly, learn your Aqeedah and Tawheed, stick to the Quran and Sunnah, then you will understand which are Right and care about the truth and which are wrong!

Shia are wrong, because they do not even care about the Sunnah, they disbelieve in it! They attack and accuse our beautiful wonderful companions of the Prophet of bad.

Iran is playing a propoganda game, where it tries to assert itself as a state which cares about Muslims. It does not. It is very intolerant to our brothers and sisters in Iran. Many are persecuted for not agreeing with their unIslamic revolution.

In Lebanon, they cause trouble, they have beaten up so many of our brothers in Beirut and near Tripoli. Often there are gun battles. The money comes from Iran to fund hizbullah, which fools Muslims by saying they are fighting against Israel.

-

Muslims should UNITE, but we unite not upon falsehood, but upon Truth, upon the clear Quran and Sunnah. How can we unite if someone does not even worship Allah properly? Who does Shirk, the biggest of sins?

They sponsor Muqtada Sadr in Iraq, he has Mehdi Army, they tortured so many of our brothers and sisters. THey killed so many. Yet, people so naive! They killed 10,000s of people in Iraq..

Salaam don't worry i can understand why you say that they have been trying to defend muslims more...the reason why i say if only they were not shia is only because shiaz beleive that Prophet Muhammad SAW was chosen by accident by Allah, they have idolised Ali RA and all there principles are not acording to the Qur'an and sunnah which is why i wish they wer sunni. Sunni are the fundementalist muslims that follow the Qur'an and sunnah in its comprehensive way. Allah did not make a Mistake by chosing Prophet Muhammad as His last and final messenger. But i make du'a that they realise this and accept Islam in the way Allah prescribed it to us

Also please read what brother masbooth has written he has given a good explanation on the differences and has informed evryone about Ali RA hussain and Hassan RA (sons of Ali RA)

Im closing this thread, Khameini is not even a Muslim,

Muslims should study Islam and know it properly, before being so naive to accept anything from anyone who just claims to be part of the Ummah.

Those who worship other than Allah, who disrespect the companions of the Prophet , who lie and distort are not from Islam.

Sunni vs. Shia

The following is general and not directed at anyone! But, it is quite common for some of these questions or misconceptions to be asked.

Some people say they do not care who is Sunni or who is Shia, that we are all "Muslims", this is incorrect and dangerous for a Muslim to think like so. It is a view derived from not knowing enough about the teachings of Islam.

It trivialises important parts of our Islam. YES, We call ourselves Muslims, but Sunni is a description, a label which explains HOW we follow Islam. People react without even bothering to learn their deen, Islam.

Allah tells us in the Quran:

“If you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allaah and His Messenger, if you do believe in Allaah and the Last Day. That is best and most suitable for final determination.”
Sooratun-Nisaa‘ [4:59]

The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Indeed, the people of the Book before you split-up into seventy-two sects. And this nation will split-up into seventy-three sects, seventy two are in the Fire and one is in Paradise.” And in another narration, “All of them are in the Fire except one.” It was asked, ‘Who is that one?’ He replied, “That which I and my Companions are upon.”

The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “There will not cease to be a group from my Ummah victorious upon the truth, not being harmed by those who oppose them until the command of Allaah comes about, and they are like that.” Related by Muslim (6/52-53) and Aboo Daawood (2/202) from Thawbaan (radiyallaahu ’anhu).

The Prophet himself, told us the Ummah will split into groups, therefore those who say, "Muslims are all one Ummah" are wrong in this. That was only the case when?? When the Prophet was alive!

We should all care, THIS is our belief we must defend it! Allah told us in the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad explained to us in the Hadith, HOW we are to follow Islam.

The Prophet said “I am leaving amongst you two things, you will never go astray as long as you cling to them: the Book of Allaah and my Sunnah. They will not separate from each other, until you meet me at the Lake.” Saheeh: Related by al-Haakim from Aboo Hurayrah (radiyallaahu ’anhu). It was authenticated by al-Albaanee in Takhreejul-Mishkaat (no. 186).

Today, not everyone follows Islam according to the Quran and the Sunnah.

An example being the Shiites, they do not believe in the same sources of Islam as we do. Hadith ! An example of this, is to do with Massah, where Muslims are allowed to wipe over their socks, if they wore them after doing ablution, shia do not do this. Then there are hadith where the Prophet forbid Mutah (temporary) marriage, again the shiites do not care.

For they do not even consider A'isha, the mother of the believers or the close companions of the Prophet , even the ones he himself said would be amongst dwellers of paradise to even be righteous!

The same people who do not think using "Sunni" is right, might say the following, "I'm just a muslim who relies on quran and sunna". So, they wish to call themselves just Muslim, but at same time feel the need to explain it more with an added description "who relies on Quran and Sunnah"

Why say that description? if you can not use "Sunni", the Sahaba never said that description. They just said they were Muslims. One can see these ideas do not even stand from a logical point of view.

At the time of the Prophet Muhammad it was a given, it was certain, it was clear, it was 100% KNOWN, that a Muslim was a person who followed the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad i.e. the Sunnah. If they had any issues or problems, they turned to the Prophet . They asked him! After the Prophet they asked his companions, such as Abu Bakr, Umar, his wife A'isha etc, May Allah's blessings be upon them all .

It does not mean saying that description is wrong, not at all. The purpose of this example, was merely to show the necessity of having to give further description to make sure that our position on how we follow our Islam is known. Otherwise, if you want to learn Islam, how will you find the right Islamic teacher? How would you know if their Aqeedah was correct? For the Shia have totally different Aqeedah to the Muslims. They do not believe in Allah’s attributes the same as us, they do not worship Allah the same as us. They do not pray or even wash the same as us.

This is why to say we are Sunni is correct. Just as to ascribe yourself to the Salaf (the righteous predecessors), or the names such as Ahlul Hadith (the people of HaditH), Ahlus Sunnah (the People of the Sunnah). These were all labels that are used and mean the same thing. Of course, these names alone do not make the person righteous. The person has to gain the right knowledge and act upon it! –

We need to look at things with a little knowledge, rather than the incorrect ideas spread about by various ignorant speakers.

If we truly want unity, then we must call people to adopting the Quran and Sunnah upon the way of the Salaf. Simply having people ignore all their mistakes and just being together, will never achieve anything. We unite upon the truth, never upon falsehood.

Quran and Sunnah is The Basis for Muslim Unity

Following the right way
