Why are the Shia looked at in derision by Sunnis and associated with innovations and shirk? We often blame the Salafi propaganda machine, and while that plays a significant role, we need to reflect on ourselves.

@thesymbols14 @HasanAlBeiruti If you're so worried about mass apostasy because I asked a basic question that Twelvers should have a ready-to-go great answer to, then answer it yourself. I'll assume you're not answering because you don't have an answer. If you don't respond with one, I'm done with this convo.

Can Twelvers explain the argument for restricting Hadith al-Thaqalayn to the 12 Imams? Why wouldn't the wording "itrati ahla bayti" include all Fatimids?

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@AlMuqaddimahYT Making light of your zina to dunk on Shias? Lol

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@thesymbols14 @HasanAlBeiruti I asked a basic question Imamis should have a good answer to and you're talking like there are waves of mass apostasy going on worldwide 💀

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@thesymbols14 @HasanAlBeiruti I searched for an answer and got nothing but "the hadiths say so", so I came here. Why don't you answer it instead of criticising my Twitter habits?

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@thesymbols14 @HasanAlBeiruti Well it's a good thing I'm not trying to cause doubt. I genuinely don't know how Imamis justify their interpretation. And if such a basic question causes such crushing doubt that someone ends up leaving Twelverism, then Twelverism has bigger problems than me.

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@thesymbols14 @HasanAlBeiruti "Don't ask questions, people may have doubts", sounds like what Twelvers accuse Sunnis of

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@thesymbols14 @HasanAlBeiruti I love how full of yourselves you guys are that you think everyone questioning Twelverism is just a liar who "deep down" knows the truth and is rejecting it for fun.

Something as basic as "how is thaqalayn only about the 12" is a difficult question? Really?

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@HasanAlBeiruti @thesymbols14 Shia pride ourselves on questioning others, being inquisitive, and not being so insecure that we forbid questioning of our beliefs. We always say we have nothing to be afraid of because our beliefs are so logical and evidence-based. But I'm seeing a lot of insecurity.

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@HasanAlBeiruti @thesymbols14 It's very weird he insists I answer a question that I don't know the best Imami answer to. I know Imamis will say "because the hadiths say so", but I don't know if they have a better answer, so I asked. And the responses have been lackluster.

@al_mualim1 @7amanikom @ammarrbeg Hallaj is burning in Hell, he isn't liking anything right now

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@7amanikom @al_mualim1 @ammarrbeg You should reread this tweet and then delete it

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

Imam Jafar narrates from his father Imam Muhammad al-Baqir:

Imam Ali was asked about the amulets (ta'wīdh) which are hung on young boys, so he said: Hang whatever you want if it contains the remembrance (dhikr) of Allah.

@PanjtanDaHubdar @IbnAbbas217 I'm not Sunni or Zaydi, but cool theory

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@AbuXhaferBektas @lucus090909 So Bektashis like the sahaba?

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@AbuXhaferBektas @lucus090909 Sorry how do Bektashis identify?

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@IbnAbbas217 @FakeFulan @Healthcoachzzz Of course not

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@lucus090909 You should look into those Sunni Sufis who are also Twelvers

[Abū Zayd al-ʿĀmilī 🇱🇧 @shiismstudies]

@FakeFulan @Healthcoachzzz The mainstream Twelver ruling is that it's not allowed to pray behind any non-Twelvers except if you have to out of taqiyya. And if you do pray behind them out of taqiyya, either you make the intention of a solitary prayer or else you redo your prayers.
