BENEFIT 12: ARE THE RAFIDHA MUSLIMS? While discussing the belief of Ahlus Sunnah pertaining to the Ṣaḥābah in one of the recent Ḥā'iyyah classes, Sheikh Wahb Adh-Dhayfani mentioned that: The Rafidha are non-Muslims for a number of reasons: 1. They engage in magic and witchcraft. 2. They ascribe knowledge of the unseen -which is specific to Allah- to others besides Him. 3. They make takfīr of most -if not all- of the Companions (radhiyāhu 'anhum) 4. They believe that the Qurʿān is distorted 5. They accuse the wives of our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم of fornication 6. They reject Allah's attributes 7. They reject the punishment of the grave 8. They reject Ar-Ru'yah (the fact that the believers will see Allah in the Hereafter) 9. They reject the Ṣirāṭ (the bridge that will be extended over Hell-fire) 10. They reject the Ḥawḍh (the Prophet's pond) 11. They reject intercession (Ash-Shafā'ah) for those who commit major sins. 12. They distort the Qurʿān. For example, they say the calf mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah refers to Aishah (radhiyāhu 'anha), and there are many more examples of this. 13. They have more reverence for their Imāms than Allah. This point becomes clear when you see them bearing oath; if they are lying about a matter they would swear by Allah, but if they are truthful they would swear by Hussein 14. They venerate the texts of their imāms over the texts of the Sharī'ah. 15. They believe that their imams have control over the universe. 16. They believe that Hussein (radhiyāhu 'anhu) is supporting Allah's Throne. 17. They curse the Companions on a regular basis - especially Abu Bakr and Umar. .... Imām Al-Bukhāri raḥimahullāh said: ((ما أبالي صليت خلف الجهمي والرافضي، أم صليت خلف اليهود والنصارى)) ''It makes no difference to me whether I pray behind a Jahmi and a Rafidhi or whether I pray behind a Jew and a Christian (i.e. They are all non-Muslims).'' [Khalq Af'āl Al-'ibād (125)]
