Imamat

Imamat

"I believe in ALLAH, in His Angels, His Scriptures, His Prophets, the Day of Judgment, and in the fact that every thing good or bad (in the world) is pre-destined by ALLAH the Exalted, and in the resurrection after death."

ALLAH sent Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) as the last and final Prophet on the earth. No Prophet is being prophesized after Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w), either in Quran and in Hadith. The chain of "Wahi", messages sent by ALLAH through Hazrat Jibreel (a.s) on Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) ended upon the death of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) in 11th Hijri. It is the utmost fact which cannot be denied by any of a single Muslim. The one who says that ALLAH prophesizes some else for any message or any "Wahi" to be bestowed upon him/her after Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w), denies the ending of the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w). That chap is not a Muslim, but a "Kafir". This is the pure belief of an every single Sunni Muslim. To be kept in mind that Shia believes in 12 Imams after Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w). They claim that knowledge of the unseen belongs solely to their Imams, and it is not for the Prophet to inform us about the unseen. Some Shia's have gone so far as to claim godhead for those Imams. Their believes towards the Imams are listed below but for a information to be kept by an every Sunni Muslim is the names of their false Imams to whom they consider their everything as discussed in the chapter of "Tauheed". Those are as follows:

Ali Murtaza, Hasan, Hussain, Zain-ul-Abideen, Muhammad Al Baqar, Jaffar Sadiq, Moosa Kazim, Ali Al Ridah, Al Taqi, Al Naqi, Hassan Askari and Mehdi.
