I always knew that these Mojizas are a scam and manufactured by themselves. Even the story of mojizas are very simplistic to avoid questions.

salar your point was unneeded as this cant be counted as Mojiza of Mufddal. I have seen many SMSes which show these false mojizas. The abdes themselves know that they are false and would be instantly rebuked , this is why no abde has the gut to post it here. And you dont even seem to be an abde.

No, that is just one of the arguments and you know very well that the major arguments of people of Quran sunnah is that of tawheed and negation of shirk. Bohra, Shias, Barelvis, etc are all guilty of Shirk by worshipping other then Allah. Remember Dua is worship. And know what there are only two bro...

may Allah guides US all

yusufali is all about its commentry, technically you cant "plagiarize" a translation may be the translation matches but not the commentry which makes it all different. yusufali was not the only one refered , it was done by many scholars, working on yuisufali as a base only for the translat...

See how much hatred people have for this git named Mufaddal , it seems his position is no better then Yazid himself for the progressives , Its suprising topi himself could not list a single fake mojiza. Topi ne khudhi topi pehenli

May Allah guide them

plso ksa786 please read above before accusing others of wahhab etc

No the iftaa version does not make yusufali as the author, the amana version does, the amana version is now outof print. Anyways you like it or not the ismaili creed itself has one pillar Jihad of warfare type, sunnis dont even have that pillar. Also have you even read it?? I have read the saudi ver...

what changes????, they just used abdullah yusufali as a refrence , one of the many other translations they referred to, you cant compare both. The shia site wants to use this to accuse them of tahrif, but the truth is that only the personal opinions of Mr yusufali were removed . The saudi version do...

ya but we also need to record the truth lest it gets lost

The origin of self-flagellation on tenth of Muharram ===== In 351 AH, in the reign of Muizz al-Dawlah, the Shiites under the protection of the Shiite government began the innovation of Muharram rituals. Sayyid Ammer Ali writes in “History of Saracens” Muiz ud dawlaah though a patron of arts and lite...

topi, have you even read the above article? please do read , may Allah guide you to the straight path

Frantic abdes are frustrated to find their bhagwan has been listed as "dawedar"\claimant on wikipedia , 100s of abdes have tried to vandalize wiki to remove that "dawedar" word , yet thanks to wikis self healing features , they get rollbacked. But now they are also trying to writ...

Response to the recent onslaught by topi: taken from(has all pictures and evidences): http://gift2shias.com/2011/02/15/ali-ibn-abi-talib-ra-the-wahhabi/ Strange headline, yet the facts testify to this and the intent is to show what our Khalifa, Ali Ibn Abi Talib -Allah is well pleased with him- woul...
