Islam map

[edit]

In the page there is a map of the Islamic world that shows that there is a Shiite presence in southern Saudi Arabia, which is not true, as the Shiite presence there is limited to the city of Najran only (partial presence), I hope someone change it MLK7 (talk) 22:08, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to cite a reliable source and explain the discrepancy with the source cited to create the map. Remsense ‥  22:17, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

change "Shia Muslims assert imamate continued through Ali's sons Hasan and Husayn, after whom different Shia branches have their own imams. They revere the ahl al-bayt, the family of Muhammad, maintaining that they possessing divine knowledge."

Remove the section under “Purity” with the video of Khamenei claiming he spoke to god. This puts Shi’a’s in a bad light. Not all of them believe in Wilayat Al Faqih, which is a controversial Shi’a topic that only followers of Khamenei and Khomeini believe in, and the rest of the Shi’a community differ in opinion about. It’s unnecessary and it is not even mentioned in the section. Please remove it, thank you. 2600:1007:A111:4D4B:5432:D2FF:4F72:4A0A (talk) 04:38, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the shahada part, it is said that the word "Ali is a friend of Allah" is mentioned in Qur'an 5:55, while in that verse there is no mention of Ali - radiyallahu anha - nor about successor at all. It just said "Your only guardians are Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers—who establish prayer and pay alms-tax with humility." 5:55. So i think this is a false source to be mentioned. 2400:9800:FE:4343:182E:A1B0:C318:3D3A (talk) 23:57, 20 March 2025 (UTC) thing[reply]

The current text doesn't imply that "Ali is a friend of Allah" is mentioned in the Quran. (It's the occasion of revelation that's believed to be connected to Ali in Shia (and some Sunni) exegeses). Albertatiran (talk) 06:17, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
