Their Belief Regarding The Sahabah & its Answers

In these clips allegations made against the Sahabah are answered in detail. An important point mentioned is that if all the Sahabah except three four became Murtad (turned away from Islam) after the Prophet's (peace & blessings be upon him) death then this would show the failure of the Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) in his mission. He then cannot be considered a successful teacher.

Mut'ah which is the temporary marriage is only permissible according to Shias. Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah and all other sects attributed to Islam deny the permissibility of this marriage.

The Issue of Fadak

The issue of fadak is the one that Shias use it against the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah/Sunnis that Abu Bakr and Umar (Radhi Allahu Anhuma) denied Fatimah (Radhi Allahu Anha) her inheritance when (Prophet Peace Be Upon Him) Passed away. The reality is that Fatimah (Radhi Allahu Anha) was unaware of the fact that the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) had said that the Prophets do not inherit anybody nor is their legacy distributed after their death to the heirs. Ali (Radhi Allahu Anhu) also accepted this fact and saying of the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him).
