Sistani en kafirs

28 februari 2006    Lees de reacties   

Het gedachtegoed van een van Irak’s belangrijkste geestelijke leiders, de sjiitische Groot-Ayatollah Sistani, is te lezen op zijn website www.sistani.org (klik op het plaatje).

Door nu (dubbel) te klikken op ‘English’ en vervolgens in de linkerkolom op ‘Islamic laws’, krijgt de bezoeker een keuzemenu voorgeschoteld. Ga nu naar het bovenste tabje ‘Select one main item’ en selecteer daar ‘Najjis things’ – onreine zaken. Temidden van poep, pis, varkens en lijken, blijken volgens Sistani ook zogenaamde ongelovigen – ‘kafirs’ – onrein te zijn:

84. The following ten things are essentially najis: Urine -Faeces – Semen – Dead body – Blood – Dog – Pig – Kafir – Alcoholic liquors – The sweat of an animal who persistently eats najasat.

Klik nu op het onderste tabje ‘Introduction’ op ‘Kafir’ en lees:

Kafir

107. An infidel i.e. a person who does not believe in Allah and His Oneness, is najis. Similarly, Ghulat who believe in any of the holy twelve Imams as God, or that they are incarnations of God, and Khawarij and Nawasib who express enmity towards the holy Imams, are also najis. And similar is the case of those who deny Prophethood, or any of the necessary laws of Islam, like, namaz and fasting, which are believed by the Muslims as a part of Islam, and which they also know as such.
As regards the people of the Book (i.e. the Jews and the Christians) who do not accept the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah (Peace be upon him and his progeny), they are commonly considered najis, but it is not improbable that they are Pak. Ho wever, it is better to avoid them.

108. The entire body of a Kafir, including his hair and nails, and all liquid substances of his body, are najis.
