i am shia muslim from pakistan living in the uk...you have done an absolutely fantastic job. the connection between sufism and shia islam that you established cleared a few things for me....great job man. thanks
My man please make a video on Alevis in Turkey and Balkans. They are a very interesting mix of twelver shiism and Sufi mysticism blended with Turkish and Kurdish folk religion. They are really interesting in that they have no political structure beyond village elders anymore and some members(ishikis/Siryusis) consider themselves a seperate religion. There are related groups like Shabaks and Alians who mix it with Yazidism and Orthodox Christianity too.

@@barashah1171 if you are shia you are clueless both these video's are unbalanced & show some anti shia influences. They both need to bring Iran propaganda into it, minor points of so called many branches when overwhelming 12er shia over 90% are twelver, even when count Zaydi, Ismaili numbers are smaller than groups Christianity is broken into more groups but don't get propaganda of nuanced split is needed for general public not really. Only reason these splits are exaggerated most times is little poke at shia. There times academically they might be discussed but if they are fair & balanced from start they would be clear on small numbers. Many groups died out long time ago like various waqfia. As a shia you should realise 6 of 12 imams are buried in Iraq, Najaf, Karbala, Samarra, Kazimayn, Kufa, Balad, the history marja, arba'een etc. Historical Iraq has always been seen as the homeland for shia even when oppressed under Saddam. Now we have the clueless with some academic background making up stuff. making it out to be Iran which only because of politics in recent years took more prominence. Najaf even under oppression of Saddam had sole leading marja at one point. Yes Qum has been important for religious studies many years but Iraq because of the history was seen as the home land for shia no question. All you seem interested in is connection to Sufism which isn't big thing.
3:31 is very misleading to be successor of the Prophet wasn't merely being descendent. It being divinely appointed is the key bit. There is common theme in Islam many Prophets were descendents of other prophets through certain lineages. But descendency wasn't the factor that made them their successors. Abraham ask for his lineage to be his successors & Allah says his representatives will not be from the wrong doers. This is the far more important criteria you should start with: - The very first view of shia is Allah chooses his successor as per Quran surah Baqarah. If the lineage happened to be descendent of prophet that was not defining criteria. - Prophet announced his successor as per Allah command in Quran. - criteria of being sinless & not from wrong doers It is not like lineage being the main criteria as you misleadingly portray from the start.
As a Shia, it was refreshing to see an account of our religion that doesn't merely summarize it as 7th century historical division in Islam but actually goes deeper into the beliefs, practices, and intellectual tradition. I really appreciated your unique perspective and hope you will do a video on Mulla Sadra someday.
Thanks a lot!
I would warmly second this!
Stories and apparent facts contradict each other. ? I don't fall into sects. I had been agnostic till I turned 26. I started believing in Christianity and after deep research, I reverted to true Islam. I tried Shiaism first but could not turn against those whom earth let buried beside Prophet (saw)? The same sacred earth that was shaken when Bibi Zohra's (as) hair was exposed, according to Shia Zakir. If your cult is really on the right path then tell me any blessed name of any Shia commander ever adding one inch to the Islamic empire in the empirical era?? I am an ordinary person and it does not matter if my wife were disobedient to me but I would never ever allow any low-level outsider to curse my wife for centuries in processions. By God, Muhammad(saw) was the most honorable person, humanity has ever seen. How would you face Muhammad(saw) on Doom's day? Would you let any outsider repeat the cruel incident details about your women, using the names of your women in processions for centuries?? If you are an honorable Muslim then don't run without answering... I would not ever give my names of three enemies (curse of Allah(SWT) on Laeens) to my kids and your hypocrite Zakirs like Ammar Nakshwani try to prove that they were after other people with similar names. What a coincidence. Why do your hypocrite Zaakirs, who tell six different stories about the same incident, not tell you the real name of Ali Akbar (as) was Abu Bakr bin Hussain(as) and Ali Asghar(as) name was Umer bin Hussain(as)? We Muslims believe Ali(as) is the lion of God and could not have been chained by billions of Khalids bin Walid. You are a stigma to Islam as Islam is a Ph.D. guide that gives solutions to problems and does not give rise to problems as a result of Prostitution under the Mutta Certificate. Period!! Repent before it is too late as life is short and the time is flying and stop crying for those who have been reaping the best rewards ever since due to their greatest sacrifices, leaving chimps behind to beat their chests for centuries. Peace!!
@@TheMasood4724 Everything you said can be easily refuted by a learned shia child, you claim you was a shia yet you don't know many basic beliefs in shisim and what had happened and not even the simple Quranic verses, Everything silly argument you said is refuted multiple times and if you are indeed searching for the truth you should've stumbled upon them, are you willing to discuss every silly point you made ? Let's start one topic and one argument at a time, choose whatever let's see where the truth lies
@@mhmadbedrddeen3414 Brother,. Would you let any outsider use your women's name to repeat any cruelty that happened to them in processions for centuries???????????????????Don't run away without answering, Please!!
Convert here. Had a hard time picking between Shia and Sunni for a long time and just considered myself "Muslim" but as I get more deeply entrenched in Islam theology the more Fiqh I realize I need to stay centered and grounded. This was an excellent case for Shia thought and I'm considering studying it in depth going forward. Itjihad in particular fascinates and draws me. Thank you. Edit: since I made this comment almost a year I've dived into Shia and Sunni Fiqh and Sunni feels more natural. Even if I agree the Prophet (SAW) picked Imam Ali (RA) to lead after him things like the Imamate have no Quranic or jurisprudential basis. To me Sunni is the truth but I still respect and love our Shia brothers and sisters. May Allah bless and guide all of us.
You nailed akh. Being just Muslim is sufficient, and the best way. Be thankful that you have the option to choose to be neither because some wish they would just stay neutral. I myself i'm neutral aswell. I'm Muslim Alhamdulillah, and that is sufficient.
@@kalle1453 I disagree. Although that was my original position I think it's in error now. At the very least I think they're all worth learning from
Jazakallah brother....Masha Allah.... truly amazing and inspiring... You can Google for the book 'then I was Guided'...the author has written an account of his research...you will be able to cross verify all the references given in it from the sahih books and the holy Qur'an...i found it extremely useful...m sure you will too... jazakallah
Do not be falsely guided!! Shia’sm is Bida (innovation). No such things as the 12 infallible imams. The regard pilgrimage to Hussein’s grave just as important as pilgrimage to Mecca?!?!? How can people be so ignorant!!! Save yourself brother, please keep reading and seeking knowledge and Allah swt will guide you to the truth
@@TheBiovert well...if you believe that those who follow Ali as after the prophet are falsely guided, then hats off to you really.. Who Ali - for whom the prophet said I'm the city of knowledge and Ali is it's gate....for whom the prophet said Ali is to me like Haroon was to Musa...who was proclaimed as Maula at Ghadir...who is the Nafs of the prophet at Mubahela....i mean there's enough proof available for those wanting to see...but if someone doesn't want to accept the truth, there's very little anyone can do really...
Hello.. as a sunni from indonesia. this is a great video.. shia is our broter.. Salam from Indonesia
I am a twelver shia and I have to say that you have handled this topic with so much grace and respect with factual and academic based information. There are couple of things even I didn't know and would like to research further. i learned of existence of Irfan in Shia doctrine very recently, myself by Sheikh Shomali's lectures which are available on youtube. He was resident Alim in Islamic centre of England. Learned about mysticism in Shia Islam only in 2012 during Hajj where we were accompanied by sheikh arif abdulhussain an expert in shia mysticism and metaphysics. It was all very revealing and new to me. I believe that overwhelming majority of Shias don't know of these concepts of their own religion (at least I can say so of shias in subcontinent where I come from, currently live in London).
Thank you for sharing! And I'm glad you feel like I represented your tradition fairly.
no he didn't explain it well
Dr. Somali and Sheikh Arif are amazing teachers. I agree this video was very well done.
@@starcapture3040 I am interested to know which part you think he didn't explain well. I don't think he can explain everything in one video. Secondly, we have to understand that he is explaining not from Shia or Sunni perspective but an academic perspective. And he keeps himself unbiased in a subject which is potentially a minefield. That's what I appreciate.
Why don't you also listen to Sheikh Yasser-al-Habib ?
As a Shia cleric, I'm surprised how you did excellent in introducing shia theology, bases of jurisprudence and history. Well done! 👌🏻
Well, not quite right. He didn't focus on differences in theology. Particularly the difference in concept of shirk in ahl sunnah and shia. And level of accepted esoteric interpretation or exegesis of quran in both sects. I had started reading al fatiha's interpretation from shia perpespective and difference hits you like a nuclear shock wave.
@@saimbhat6243 do you have source to compare the shia and sunni perspective on al fatiha ? Thanks
@@saimbhat6243 Yes, any Sunni considers Shias to be Pagan Polytheists, and anyone who doesn't consider them as such is a pagan polytheist himself.
@@unsrescyldas9745 Shias are not Pagans.Who the hell are you to give certificate of Islam to others...
@@comparativereligiondailynews I do not, God does. God said regarding those that call upon anything else other than him: "If you call them, they will not hear you, and if they heard you, they would not have answered you, and on the day of Judgement they will forsake your *polytheism*" And actually we have a very similar verse in the Bible as well. this clearly illustrates that anyone who calls upon anything other than God is a pagan, whether he likes it or not, and this includes all Shias and Catholics alike.
Time to become a patron! I've learnt SO MUCH important and fascinating stuff from your videos!!
Excellent, very informative- just completed it , waiting for next episode for sure
Video editing and voice over quality are really pleasing. You did a good job
This made me reevaluate where I get my Hadith from. I grew up with Sunni teachings and my family wasn’t very religious at all, they just hated shia because in Lebanon it is quite a hot topic. Recently I read about Ali ibn abi talibs sayings and for the past 3 years I’ve been studying Islam without missing a day. I attribute my strong faith to the prophet Muhammad and the lifestyle teachings of his family. Alhamdulilah
mashallah khaye, greetings from a swiss-lebanese shia muslim. Even tho half of my family has shia-origins, I have similar problems to yours. My grandfather used to work for most of his life in Saudi. I think this had a big influence on how he thinks. Now, he is not relgious but he dislikes shias🤦♂️
Mashallah, I’m a shii and I’d be happy to help you understand our sides of things if you’d like
هنيءاً لك التحاقك بسفينة النجاة
Where do you take your hadith from
@@jakblack1744 whatever relates back to the prophet and I’ve asked my nearby scholar about. Most of what I practice is from the Quran and I hope god will forgive whatever I don’t yet know or understand. I saw a lot of Hadith were similar to Christian stories from the bible so I’m hesitant to see if there’s truth within those ones or if they’re fabricated. It’s all about the individual for me, many shia and Sunni alike have the same Hadith chains
Yeeeesss! Thank you thank you 🙏💟 Philip for doing this!
As being a sunni Muslim I really didn't find such good content about my brothers shia sect. When ever I searched the content I found biased from shia and sunni ulma. I'm waiting for your next video on Ismaili sect. Thanks you sir ❤️ peace 🙏
Be careful who you call your brothers, your brothers are those who follow the Quran and sunnah
I don't care.

@@mxxz3900 all 6 sahihs say quran and ahlulbayt yet Stil you stick to Quran and “sunna” taken from a abu hurairah who spend 3 years with the prophet and magically heard over 4,000 Hadith from him 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ may allah give you hidaya BROTHER !
Love from Iran❤🇮🇷
Fuck Islam from Persia 🇮🇷
I like studying religion and Ali is probably the coolest figure to learn about. He is called the warrior monk for a reason I guess
Although he's well none for been an excellent worrier in the Islamic world, he didn't wage a single offensive war or offensive jihad during his reign, he focused on economy and philosophy and many philosophical books like (Nahj al-Balagha) was written about him, if you're interested in Islam and philosophy (nahj al balagha) is the perfect book for you
@@hussienbintalal91 Google used to give better results when you searched for Ali's teachings, thanks for the recommendation
@@jeffm3283 Ali who was the successor of the Prophet is the most exceptional in human history. you must read a book written by Christian on him, The Voice of Human Justice by George Jordac
@Cyrax Status of Ali is due to Prophet Muhammad(saws). What Prophet mentioned about Ali, many could not understand and misguided. Ali need different lenses to know about.
@Cyrax I have never said this. You came and commented. This allegation of blasphemy in the hand of Sunnis is weapon against Shias. Shias follow Ali as recommended by Prophet(pbuh) but instead of understanding Ali in sayings of Prophet, Sunnis attack on Shias.
Shia here! I’ve been watching your videos and a fan for so so long and I’m so excited to see you do one on us. It couldn’t have been more throughly researched and well explained, thank you for the amount of care and effort you put in. Your channel has been instrumental in the way I view all religion: rejecting the “I’m right and you’re wrong” mentality plaguing religious discussion and towards a deep dive into the beautiful tapestry of the human connection with the divine. That’s the journey you and all of your fans have been on together through this channel and your videos. The mystical aspect of Shia islam was uncovered by you and through that I’ve really developed in my faith- I had been learning from traditional sources but never heard of Mulla Sadra before this. Your videos on sufism, the occult, even some concepts of the Dao & Hindu thought.. all of it changes the way I interpret different concepts in Shia islam, the Quran, and Shia Irfan.. I pray that Allah inspires you to continue with your work, and guides us all closer to him through it.

@@911mossadvanbombersclassif4 what are you on about 😂😂 sunnah discourse is a joke of a channel that has no understanding of the shia faith. We follow the path of the ahlulbayt. Sunnis follows the path of abu bakr who stole his caliphate or aisha who went to war against him. Take your pick, and if you try to pick both you’re a hypocrite.
@@911mossadvanbombersclassif4 also umar did not wed his daughter, we gave many arguments rebuking such false bakri history 😂😂
I love Shias, Especially their Clerics, They are so kind.
Quite Proud to be Twelver Shia! ❤ Sunni's are only expert at persecuting and killing innocent minorities from other sects and religions. But then it comes to fighting real enemy like Izrahell, they are completely useless. You will find all Islamic terrorists coming from Sunni sect but not one from Shia sect. In 6 days war, Sunni nations got beaten collectively while Shias of Lebanon defeated Izrahell and kicked them out of Lebanon. But these people will never publicly praise and acknowledge Shias for theri efforts. This is the true face hypocrites. That's why God is humiliating them publicly. This is the key difference between following shady sahabas v following good Sahaba's and Ahlulbayt. God is on our side. Normally I don't wrote such stuff because I like unity. But its sometimes satisfying to expose losers who think so highly of themselves but all they do is talk but no action against bigger enemies.

Great job man, I can’t wait for the Mola Sadra video.
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
Shism reminds me a lot of Catholicism, a theological emphasis on imams (saints).
But the Christian saints each had written versions of Bible if am not wrong unlike Shia imams who never wrote any versions of Quran. And Shia Imams are there to guide people and are not Holy like Saints. Imams were humans just like the rest of us. But their actions elevated them to a position that need to be respected.
Thank you for not being biased, looking forward to hearing more on your channel. Please produce more content on KZhead.

Thanks for covering this finally , i enjoyed hearing a detached outside view of part of my faith . Hope you can do an episode about jafar al sadiq and mulla saddra.
I think a video about Ali ibn Hussein is really necessary. I think with how much importance he is given in the shia, it'd be pretty cool.
Very interesting and important figure in Shi'ism indeed!
@@LetsTalkReligion very Important figure in Islam. Sunnis value him highly as well
@@LetsTalkReligion the period of al-Sajjad, al-Baqir, and al-Sadiq is particularly interesting. The formation of the Da'wa, the enigmatic Abul-Khattab, the origins of occultation. It's the juiciest chunk of Shi'ism until the Qiyamat of Alamut.
there are 3 main waves of deception in shiasm i know of. - ibn saba the neo pauline preacher said Ali is a god and pushed civil wars like paul did, then Hasan united them. Ali burned the she'a who said he's god too! 2nd wave when the shias who did taqiyah and weren't burned for shirk by Ali invited Hoosain, shias worship hossain who married a princess from magian areas as a front to continue magian royal worship! 3rd wave, lies on rest of ahlul bait in particularly Jafer Sadiq who said Abu Bakr gave birth 2 me twice, had a daughter named Aisha, until the 12 imam who matches the dajjal. >>> If she'a followed Quran they would be Sunni, Quran 25 :74 mentioned make us husbands imama - and Umar married Ali's daughter so imama in Quran is Sunni Caliphas, game over!!! Umar who defeated the magian empire is Quran's imama and should be the she'a "imama"! but shiasm isn't about Quran, its about taqiyah for their magian empire who (along with byzantines) aided the riddah wars beaten by Abu Bakr justifying Umar topping the magians (& byzantines) themselves! - This is symbolized Abu Bakr and Umar's Conquest of Magians and Byzantines from 2 buckets of water unified in one conquered by the umma in the hadith acc. to ibn Hajr & Shafaa: Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whilst I was standing by a well, drawing water from it, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar came. Abu Bakr took the bucket and drew one or two buckets, but there was some weakness in his drawing. May Allah forgive him. Then ‘Umar bin Al-Khattaab came and the bucket turned into a very large one in his hands. I had never seen such a mighty person as he in doing such hard work till all the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3676). Quran exposes rafidi shias as disbelievers per Quran 48 :29
Abu Ja’far, the 5th Shia Imam said Abdullah Ibn Saba used to claim being a prophet and claimed that The commander of believers (i.e. Ali) is God. Allah is Higher than such claim. This news reached to The commander of believers (i.e. Ali), so he called him and questioned him. But he repeated his claims and said: "You are Him (i.e. God), and it has been revealed to me that you are God and I am a prophet." So the commander of believers (i.e. Ali) said: "How dare you! Satan has made a mockery of you. Repent for what you said. May your mother weep at your death! Quit [your claim]." But he refused, so Ali imprisoned him and asked him three times to repent, but he didn’t. Thus he burnt him (i.e. his corpse after killing him[24] ) with fire and said: "Satan had taken him into his whim, he used to come to him and to induce these (thoughts) in him”. - Rijal al-Khashshi, V.1, P.323 Some knowledgeable people have stated that Abdullah bin Saba was a J*w who had accepted Islam and showed great devotion for Ali (peace be upon him). As a J*w, he used to exaggerate the personality of Joshua, the son of Nun, the Wasi of Moses. After becoming a Muslim, he began to say about the personality of Ali such this(peace be upon him) after the demise of Rasulullah (peace be upon him and his progeny), and he was the first person who manifested the saying of obligation of believing in the Imamate of Ali, and completely dissociated himself from his enemies and he openly opposed them and denounced them as infidels. So, it is in this light that those there were against the Shias said: The origins of Shi'ism and Rafdh are taken from J*d*ism. - Rijal al-Kashi, page.71 history of she'a lies and betrayals to Islam like that of Hossain... - when she'as stole the kaba sharif, aided crusaders, aided monguls, safawids betrayed Uthmanis, cia backing iran in 79 to be israelis hidden ally until today etc...
The Twelver idea of The Madhi has been popular in the west since the 70s, due to Frank Herbert's epic sci-fi series Dune. That series introduced the concept of The Mahdi as well as other Islamic terminologies to the western reader. You could do a video that explores the different religions that are found in various sci-fi series and compare them to their real world counterparts. The Dune series incorporates Islamic, Buddhist and Christian ideas and philosophies. The Vulcans of Star Trek use Stoic and Zen philosophies, the Jedi of Star Wars use Taoist and Buddhist philosophies, the Alien races of Babylon 5 use many philosophies and religions throughout that series as well. Just a thought.

Excellend video, this was superly informative
Great video, very informative! I was surprised when you said Sunni identity coalesced as a response to the rise of the Safavids and Fatamids. It would be great if you made a video about that development sometime down the line! Keep up the good work!
Not so much the Safavids, but the dominance of Shi'ism through the Fatimids and Buyids. What scholars have often referred to as the "Sunni Revival" around the 12th century is in many ways instead the birth of Sunnism as we know it. The formation of a distinct "Sunni" identity defined through adherence to certain creeds (Ash'ari, Maturidi etc.) and the four legal schools (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali) as all belonging to a unified concept of "Sunnism" came about much in response to political Shi'i dominance, whereas before there had sometimes been bitter fighting between the legal schools for instance.
This would indeed be a great topic for a video.
@@LetsTalkReligion Further to this, clarity needs to be given in what existed right after the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). When there wasn't even Shia-ism. But the true Islam.
@@hassansherwani8399 even if there was political shia of Ali.. they all were on sunnah on religion.. Early "Shias" were sunnies in theology, not like modern Persian nationalist religion..
You should do a video on the Bektashi Tariqa They are basically “Sufi-Shias” It would be very interesting if you could do a video about them Excellent video Btw
alevis as well (not to be confused with alawites or Nuseris), they are similar to baktashis. They are mostly found in Turkey/Albania etc
@@aprendoespanol6833 they are somewhat similar but I have noticed also quite a few differences as well For example the Bektashis in Albania fast during Ramadan while the Alevis in turkey don’t That’s just one of the differences
@@bajramtahiri1576 According to tradition, Haci Bektash was a Sunni Sufi who was very tolerant towards Shiah Muslims. This is why he is respected by both Sunnis and Shiah. Alevis in Turkiye are not like the Shiah, they do not identify as Muslims and do not observe the Deen- I have Alevi friends who explained this to me.
@@sara_s_ yes that is true, but Bektashis are different sect from Alevis though they might have some minor similarities there are more differences between them then there are similarities
@@sara_s_ Alevis in Turkey do not identify as muslim?? This is not completely true.. There are two type of Alevism in Turkey : 1) Turkish Alevism 2) Kurdish Alevism... Turkish alevis (2/3 of alevis) mostly identify as muslim while kurdish alevis (1/3 of alevis) mostly not identify as muslim.... Kurdish Alevism similar to Yarsanism and Yazidism, they are not muslim but influence by muslim culture...

Thank you so much for this informative respectful video. In all honesty, it's rare these days to find a video where shias and sunnis are not at each others' necks because of misinformation by extremists on both sides. That being said, I am a shia muslim because I love a lot of the ideas this Islamic sect is built upon, yet it just struck me watching your video how much I don't know about it, and that I do need to do some more studying. Peace 💙
Thank you!

Excellent comprehensive and well researched
The artworks during the video are really beautiful and high quality. Thank you
Thank you Filip, glad you tackled this topic, I could never fully grasp Shī’ism, believe it or not we never had a lecture on it in any of our Islam courses
It tends to be neglected a lot, even though it makes up a significant portion of the world's second largest religion
@hybou Shiism Is full of complete nonsense. in the videos there are many things he didn't explain at all.
@hybou خليكم بطقية تبعتكم و لا تتفلسف بما لا تعلم السنه لا يتبعون خرفات لا وجود لها قي الاقران من اخترعاتكم
@hybou فهمك لسنه سخيف جدا, اولا السنه لا يتبعون احد هم بدرجو الاولة يتبعون القران و ثم السنه اذا لم يكن هناك تناقظ. السنه ينظرون الى ان القياة يجب ان تكون منتخبة و متاحة لجميع لهذا الخلفية علي هو احد الخلافاء الراشدين. السنه ينظرون الى تاريخ كتاريخ و لا يخلطونها مع الفقه. اما الشيعة اختارعوا دين جديد غريب عجيب لا يوجد شي من القران يؤمر به و تاريخيا كانوا فقط يقتلون المسلمين و مع ذلك يتكلمون بسم الاسلام و ال البيت كتنهم نائبين عنهم. جعلتم النوبة ملك مورث و حسب الدم و العرق و صنعتم خارفة المهدي لتدمير الجيهاد عند المسلمين و جعلهم بحالة من الكائبة في الحياة و تلعبون على مشاعر الحزن و تعيشون في الذاكرة السوداء. جعلتم من الاتمامة طبقة و طبقات و الدين شركة تدير الاموال.
It is best if Muslims learn to love each other irregardless of their beliefs as each person deserves 1. Freedom of conscience and 2. To be respected by virtue simply of being a human and 3. accepted into our societies without discrimination

Selam to all my Iranian shia brothers 🙏🙏☺️❤️.. A hindu from India this side.. 🇮🇳❤️🇮🇷
please make a video on zaydi branch too as that's the lesser known sect, and you're doing an awesome job educating us btw
Great content like always. Just wanted add one comment: in my view, the essence of both Shi`ism and Sufism is the concept of wilayah and wali, i.e., the mediary between God and the creation. In Shi`ism, the twelve Imams are the ultimate walis, but to the Sufi, this might not necessarily be the case. This difference, in my opinion, is minor and unimportant. In fact, many (I hesitate to say all) Shia arifs (عارف) have considered and consider Suni Sufis like Rumi as "true Shia". Also, the lineage of many Sufi orders goes back to some of the Shia Imams including Imam Jafar al-Sadiq. Anyway, I think the connection between Shi`ism and Sufism is really interesting, would love to see a video on that if that's something that interests you. Thank you once again for the content!

Thanks for the great video Filip. Just a few quick input. During the video, I think I never heard about the "Shaykhiyya", although I understand that some people put them under "Akhbaris" and not a 3rd distinct group. As per considering the Shia Kalam as "Mu'tazili" -not that you did it- some believe there is a Shia-specific Kalam called "Imami" Kalam with characteristics from both Mutazilis and Asharis plus some original ideas coming from within Shiasim.
Thank you ! As always richly thoughtful. I hope you are able to do future videos on both the School of Isfahan and the Shaykhis.

And please tell us, and the world, tell the tale of Karbala and the martyrdom of Imam Hussien (AS). I can't wait brother, you handled this topic amazingly well done.
One of the most important topic from Jafar al Sadiq a.s that we learned is the concept of Divine Simplicity, not many people know that Shia and Sunni theology differs in the concept of Allah swt and the nature of Allah swt. If you could, this will be a great topic to unfold.
You have done really good research and the way you are putting things in prospective and respecting all the school of thoughts are amazing keep it up - you just got a FAN here for your work

I come from the Ahlul Bayt Hashemite clan and the Al-Husseini family, descendants of Hassan. This was a very good conversation because I just consider myself Muslim. Many people think that I am Shia due to my family name and background. There are things from both sects of philosophies which I agree with a lot. I see myself as both ❤️🙌🏽

This was very refreshing to learn, may Allah swt bless you with continuous knowledge on all religions, so that you can share it all with us at such an unbiased angle 👏
8:16 All Imams have the same knowledge, but Imam Ja'afr As-Sadiq had more freedom from government oppression which allowed him to teach more freely and with less secrecy.
This really excellent and well done from a secular intellectual perspective. I love the esoteric mystical aspects discussed, however, the esoteric mysticism is often seen as united with outward worldview. It's a disservice to discuss the concept of ahlul bayt without discussing the disunity (fitnah) a century after the holy prophet's (alayhi wa aali salaam) death. The assassination of Ali ibn abi Talib (as) by a Kharajite has to be discussed, how and why it took place...it's political and mystical meanings
Very nice. I've been looking forward to this one.
Wonderful video. I grew up in a Salafist household but I've always been interested in Shia Islam and Sufi Tarikhas but I could only find biased information from my family. Outside my family it seems like Shias, Sunni and Sufi scholars are always at each other's throats in some way gatekeeping knowledge from the 'layman' any dialogue between any of the parties always being an abrasive shouting match. I appreciate your unbiased historical arbitration on the matter. It's always good to learn something new from you. Salam to you and all my Muslim brothers and sisters.
Wlkm aslm, may Allah bless and always guide you to the truth 🤲🏼 In my opinion it’s good to know all these details for the sake of a better knowledge and understanding but we must always bring the focus back to ourselves and bettering ourselves as human beings and doing the right thing.

First thanks for everything and mostly thanks for the podcast, it makes life easier to listen to 40 min or more while biking to work in an early morning, instead of sitting still near a computer. Something you may missed about Shia, When khalifa othman was in power, he did banish a lot of Imam Ali sahaba to different locations far away from capital, one of those is Aba Dharr al ghafari, He moved to Lebanon and started teaching about Shia islam there, thats why in Lebanon you can find alot of Shia muslims, his base was Jabal Amel, it was the source of feqeh for shia muslim even before Najaf and Qom, When the Safadi empire was stuck between 2 other sunni empire in the east and west, the only way for them to grow bigger was to be different, so they have decided to change into shia islam to be able to grow. So they did get Ulamah from Lebanon jabal amel to help spread Shia islam in Iran. I am not trying to say that, shia was in Iran only because of that. In the past also Imam ali sent a group from bani hashem to settle down in Qom, thats why most Shia scholars have black turbin on their head, that means they are the decedent from Ahlu al Bait.

As a Shia I thoroughly enjoy various works of Thomas Aquinas, I suggest making a video about him it'd be a good one
It would be very interesting to compare Aquinas's neo-Aristotelianism with that of the falsafa.
Thomas Aquinas was greatly influenced by the writings of the Persian theologian avicenna, who, if I'm not mistaken, was a shia muslim
its really informative ..... many thanks
It's interesting that Jaafar al-Sadiq was the teacher of Imam Malik and Abu Hanifah. I do wonder if the founders of the Hanafi and Maliki schools transmitted any of Imam Jaafar's teachings into any of their books. Are you planning to cover the different mazhabs of Islam in the future?
unfortunately they did not lay emphasis on Jafar al Sadiq (as) just like most of the muslim world, they forget or push this great personality to the side a large part is because he is central to Shia doctrine..... and can be also be a lack of education on peoples part which has a major parallel to the association of shia doctrine sometimes bringing about bias attitude
@@tam3133 Have you read any of their works? I'm curious to know even if they did not transmit anything, was their thinking along the same lines with the exception of belonging to different sects. For example Imam Malik always comes across to me as someone who favored reason and often has a different interpretation of certain aspects of Islam. I was wondering if there's anything in Imam Jafar's teaching that is along the same lines. Then it's all still a theory of course, but maybe we can conclude that the logical reasoning part could had been taught by Jafar to Malik.
@@fgtrhwu2 I have been told by both Shia and Sunni Muslims that the Maliki madhab (the school of thought by Imam Malik) is the closest to Shia Islam of all the Sunni madhabs. The placement of the hands during salat being one example. I don't know if there is a side-by-side comparison though.
@@tstarr8314 Closest in what sense exactly? In terms of how they use reason?
@@fgtrhwu2 my friend unfortunately I have not but history makes it clear Jafar (AS) was his teacher I need to read works of Malik would you please suggest any works available ?

@@Peanuts76 It's definitely not a requirement, and not encouraged in most cases; It's just permitted to prevent depravity in some certain cases.

Awesome, concise video.
Finally, a video on twelver shi'ism is out!

Thank you for this excellent introduction to the subject, and all your other fantastically informative videos! A question for you: what is to be made of the fact that, depite the largely Sunni nature of Sufism which you point out, all the Sufi orders (except the Naqshbandi) trace their lineage back to Ali? What does this say about the connection between Sufism and Shi'ism, if anything?
Always the best thank you⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well done! Thanks a lot..
I’ve been doing a gradual viewing of your videos on Islam since I know very little about it. I bought a Koran last week as well.
Are you thinking about converting? 😮
@@hardlo7146 Not particularly. I realized earlier this year that since giving up Christianity nearly two decades ago, I’ve been calling myself an atheist even though I have very little knowledge of all the other religions in the world. So now I want to fill in some of the gaps in my moral language.
@@hardlo7146 I also want to add that before watching these videos, just about everything I “knew” about Islam was told to me by people who are opposed to Islam. That’s definitely not a good way to understand someone. Even if I never convert to a particular religion, I still value learning about it because I learn what inspires the followers.
My sincere respect and support from Nigeria.
Very fascinated by how accurate you made it. Just like to add that you said we only use ijtehaad or aql for solving problems and answering questions but in our belief the Mujtahid is at a level of such an irfan that they the communicate with imam. Infact if any shia reaches that level of Marifat and taqwa he can communicate with Imam e zamana (a.j.t .f)
Great video as always, thank you.
