Shi'a Islam - Shi'a doctrines

Shi'a Islam - Main Shi'a doctrines

Shi'a believe in doctrines included in the Sunni five pillars of Islam, however Shi'a categorize them differently. Shi'a beliefs include the following:

Roots of Religion (Usūl al-Dīn)

  • Tawhīd (Oneness): The Oneness of God
  • Adalah (Justice): The Justice of God
  • Nubuwwah (Prophethood): God has appointed perfect and infallible prophets and messengers to teach mankind the religion (i.e. a perfect system on how to live in "peace".)
  • Imamah (Leadership): God has appointed specific leaders to lead and guide mankind — a prophet appoints a custodian of the religion before his demise.
  • Qiyamah (The Day of Judgment): God will raise mankind for Judgment

Branches of Religion (Furū al-Dīn)

  • Salat—called "Namaaz" in Persian (Prayer) – performing the five daily prayers
  • Sawm (Fast) – fasting during the holy month of Ramadhan
  • Hajj (Pilgrimage) – performing the pilgrimage to Mecca
  • Zakat (Poor-rate) – paying the poor-tax
  • Khums (One-fifth) – paying another tax
  • Jihad (Struggle) – struggling to please God. The greater, or internal Jihad is the struggle against the evil within one's own soul in every aspect of life. The lesser, or external, Jihad is the struggle against the evil of one's environment in every aspect of life.
  • Amr-Bil-Ma'rūf – commanding what is good
  • Nahi-Anil-Munkar – forbidding what is evil
  • Tawalla – loving the Ahlul Bayt and their followers
  • Tabarra – dissociating oneself from the enemies of the Ahlul Bayt

Shi'a Islam - Additional doctrines

Main article: Additional Shi'a doctrines

Shi'a have many other doctrines that are shared with other Muslims, like wearing of the veil for females (Arabic: Hijab). However, some are seen as more predominently used by Shi'as, like "Dissimulation" (Arabic: Taqiyya), which is the dissimulation of one’s religious beliefs when one fears for one's life, the lives of one's family members, or for the preservation of the faith, and "Fixed time marriages" (Arabic Nikah Mut'ah). The two latter sometimes are seen as controversial practices.
