Light of Reflection

Divergence in Opinion between Shia and Sunnah At the start of 2021, I had multiple exchanges with both Sunnah and Shia brothers on why and why not to watch this movie - "The Lady of Heaven." I have synthesized more than 100 pages of tweet, Whatsapp and other exchanges in three podcasts and then discussed the decision framework with Dr. Hatem. However, very few people listened to these discussions at the time. Instead of going over the same discussion again, I have added links to the podcast on Youtube below. It will be a good refresher for those who have forgotten and will elevate others to a level where the discussion can start from where it was left off, rather than from zero.

 Replying to https://youtu.be/1SIIa0U0f5U The alleged martyrdom of Syeda Fatima Zehra. according to the speaker "Farid," it never happened.  He loves Islamic history and its authenticity because the is well documented, the variety and volume are significant. Many times one can pick out words from the narrations and declare whether fabrication or not. According to him, Islamic history = Sunni history. Sunni history has the most details. Authors of the early books of Tareekh and Seerah were Sunni  1- One should ask why aren't there Shia narrations and why so much from the Sunnah sources?   The oppressive rulers (so-called) caliphs throughout history have been anti-AhlulBait AS. Shias are just those who follow the teachings of Ahlul-Bait AS. The rights of Ali and Fatima AS was usurped. Muawiya fought Ali AS and then poisoned  Hasan AS. Yazeed fought and martyred Hussain AS. All the progeny of the Prophet was killed by people like Hajaj bin Yusuf and the k...
