Do the shias follow the 5 pillars of Islam ?

Question

Assalam alaikum

One of the biggest misconceptions is that Shias have the same 5 pillars of Islaam. However this term is not used in Shia Islam. For the Shia sect, there are five beliefs, which are referred to as the Usool-ad-Deen (Roots of religion), and there are ten practices, which are referred to as the Furoo-ad-Deen (Branches of religion). The ten Branches of Religion correlate more closely to the Sunni concept of the "Pillars of Islam".

The Usool-ad-Deen (Roots of Religion)

* Tawhid (The Oneness of God)

* Adl (The Justice of God)

* Nubuwwah (Prophethood) - Muhammad is the final Messenger of Allah

* Imamah (Leadership of Mankind) - Ali is the Viceregent of Allah

* Me'ad (The Resurrection)

The Furoo-ad-Deen (Branches of Religion)

* Performing the five daily prayers (Salat).

* Fasting during the month of Ramadhan (Sawm).

* Paying the poor-rate (Zakat).

* Performing the pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj).

* Enjoining what is good (Amr-bil-Ma'roof).

* Forbidding what is evil (Nahi-anil-Munkar).

* Striving to seek God's approval (Jihad).

* Paying the tax on profit (Khums).

* To love the Ahl-ul-Bayt and their followers (Tawalla).

* To hate the enemies of the Ahl-ul-Bayt (Tabarra).

and BTW some names could be same but it differ completely

for example shias say onees of Allah while they condract it when they pray to Ali and Say Ya Ali Madad ! and when they face the graves of their Imams in prayers instead of Kaba !

Answer 3

They follow the 5 pillars of Islam, however, they don't follow 3 of the branches:

They pray 3 times a day

They hate Abu Bakr and Umar

They allow prostitution [Mutaa]

Edit:

"Unlike the Sunnis, who perform prayers five times a day, the s**+'ites pray three times a day: in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night."

So, no i'm not joking.

Answer 4

So you see nothing wrong with the five pillars now, you add a side comment to claim we worshipe other then Allah, when Tawhid is at the top of the list. Ok what you mean to say is that tawassul is shirek, well it is not, you are a salafi right? well here is a hadith by one of your scholars about tawassul>>>>>>>

Hafidhh Ibn Taymiyyah writes: When Adam (Alay hissalaam) made a mistake, he made Du'a like this: ' O Allah forgive my mistake with the Waseela of Muhammad, (May Allah bless him and grant him peace).Allah asked the Prophet Adam peace be upon him, (rhetorically) how he knew about Muhammad, (May Allah bless him and grant him peace)

Adam, peace be upon him, answered “when you created me, I lifted my head and saw: (LA ILA HA ILLALLAHU MUHAMMDUR RASU LULLAH) written on the throne. Therefore I knew that this person must be of a very high status. Other wise you would not have written his name with yours. Allah Ta'ala then said I have forgiven you. He will be the last Messenger in your children and I have created you because of him. The second narration is when Allah Ta'ala created the Sky, and the Earth. He wrote our Prophet Muhammad's, (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) name on the pillars of the throne and on the doors of paradise, and on the leafs of the trees in Paradise. It was written that Muhammad (My Allah bless him and grant him peace) would be the last Prophet. In addition to both of these narrations, are counter proofs for one another. They have the status as authentic narrations.

["Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya vol. 2 page 150" also Tareekh Ibn Kathir in Story of Adam]

And here is a question asked and answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani, SunniPath Academy Teacher >>>>http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?H...

Tawassul Through the Awliya >>>>>>> This is the sunni 4 schools view >>>>>>http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?H...

Got any more bones to pick?

To the answerer above, we pray 5 times a day. That is 17 rukas right? Are you joking when you say we pray 3 times?

And is the hadith Sufi to? And do you deny that the Four school of thought agree on tawassul?

Answer 5

look man, if shias prayed or worshipped Ali, we would say it proudly and openly, why would we be ashamed of our beliefs? why would we hide it?

the fact is we DONT worship Ali or any of the Imams, i hope u know how harram that is to accuse people of worshipping humans

you guys claimed we worship Imams

we never did, Allah knows best

btw, before u guys keep thumbing up SARA, i hope u guys know thats the same one who constantly curses Allah and our Prophet

EDIT: lol@dajjal: dude, why do u always answer ur own questions? hahaha, i just think thats funny :P
