[1]Imam is the living flawless Quran - declares the book version of Quran.
Sura Al Baqarah, verse 2, any Arabic/English dictionary will tell: "Zalika" means "That". "Haada" means "This".
The word used in above verse is "Zalika" and not "Haada", hence the correct translation of above verse is: THAT is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear God. The book Quran in its very first verse itself of the very beginning chapter of Quran declares and acknowledge that Mola Ali a.s. and his progeny of Fatimi Imam of time (that book) is the book - in it is the guidance for sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah.
Non-Bohras are unable to digest the bold letters above, so they con-self and others by killing (fake replacement of) the word "that" (Zalika) and replacing it with "this" (Haada). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem Points 2 to 7 from SIMERG
[2]Imamat proven from Quran:
Term ‘Imam' is used for the Prophets and leaders in an honorific and positive sense in following all verses - (1) 2:124, (2) 21:73, (3) 32:24, (4) 28:5, (5) 25:74 and (6) 26:12.
Verse 2:124 says, the making of a rightful Imam is not the function of ordinary human beings, but is prerogative only of Allah, this very aayat categorically declares: “Verily, I (Allah) make you an Imam.” The same idea is expressed in other verses like in 21:73, where it is revealed: “We made them Imams” and in 32:24, where it says: “We made Imams from amongst them.” These all verses declares: the rightful Fatimi Imams are Divinely designated.
None of the six most authentic tradition books of Sunni’s (including Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari) says, if Awwal, Sani & Salis are divinely appointed, nor these books says if Prophet Mohamed s.a.w.w. has appointed them his successor, nor are they from the progeny of Prophet Ibrahim a.s. hence they were mere ordinary kings, but not the spiritual leaders of Mumineen.
[3]Allah guides Fatimi Imam, its basis are in Quran: Verse 21:73 pinpoints the fact that Allah is the absolute source of Fatimi Imam's guidance and inspiration for mankind. This and the verses quoted earlier confirm that the institution of Imamah has its basis in the Holy Qur’an.
[4] THE TERM IMAMIM MUBIN: Verse 36:12 says, the superiority of the Imam among other things is in the field of knowledge. Even if the connotation of the verse suggests that the term Imamim Mubin refers to a book, the study of the Holy Quran also reveals that there are two ‘books’ to which Allah refers, in verse 56:77-80: “Verily it is a Quran most honourable. In a Book well-guarded. None touches it save those who are pure. Sent down by the Lord of the worlds.” Here a distinction is made to demonstrate that there are indeed two books. The Book (Quran) is an honourable book and it is INSIDE a well-guarded Book i.e. the living Prophet and after him the Fatimi Imam a.s. of the time. It indicates that the inner meaning, the correct interpretation of the Quran is with the living Prophet and after him the living Fatimi Imams a.s. A clear distinction also emerges between a ‘silent book’ and a ‘guide’ (Fatimi Imam as speaking Quran) If we study the verse 23:62.
Hence, when “Imamim Mubin” is mentioned in 36:12, it refers to this guide (Fatimi Imam), in which everything is recorded. This “recording” is also in a figurative sense and it implies that the Imam has been blessed with perfect knowledge of everything, which obviously includes the knowledge of the deeds of the people.
[5] JUST IMAMS VERSUS IMAMS WHO MISLEAD: Verse 9:12 says, Imam is also used for the leaders of the infidels. Similarly in verse 28:41, it is said: “And we made them Imams who invite to the fire and on the day of judgement they shall not be helped.” In verse 9:12 it is mentioned that if they (people) violate their Missaq, then the Prophet should fight the leaders of infidelity. This is so because their leaders were the source of infidelity and they should be fought first. Conversely, it implies that the true Leaders (Imams) are the source of righteousness. In the second verse of this group, that is in verse 28:41 it is revealed that those who are not righteous leaders (non-Fatimi Imams) invite their followers to the ‘Fire’ (Nar). However, the converse implies that the true Fatimi Imams invite their followers to the ‘Light’ (Nur). This is clearly shown in the verse 14:1, that the Holy Qur’an was revealed by Allah to Prophet Muhammad so that he could lead people to the Nur:
Another reference is also made in the Quran in verses 43:51-53, where it is revealed that Fir’aun (Pharaoh) tried to proclaim his superiority over Prophet Musa (AS) by showing to his people that Egypt belonged to him and rivers flowed under his palace whereas there were no gold bracelets bestowed on Musa and he could hardly even express himself. Many people were convinced by these arguments and were deceived by Fir’aun whose ultimate end is shown in 11:97-98,
“They followed the command of Fir’aun and the command of Fir’aun was not righteous. He will go before his people on the day of judgement and lead them into the fire, but woeful indeed will be the place to which they are led.”
Thus it becomes clear that the word Imam is used in the Quran in the general sense of a leader, a personality who leads either to a straight path or leads astray. Sayyedi Nasir Khusraw (during Imam Mustansir billah a.s. time) shows the distinction between the true Fatimi Imam and the unjust claimants - As amongst many oxen, even though one ox may become more powerful, yet, it would never be able to protect other oxen. If it claims to be their leader, it will also perish. But if there is a man to look after them, he will protect them from wild animals and take them to the pastures and bring them back to their resting place in time. The true Fatimi Imam, although a human being, is yet different from other human beings because of the spiritual knowledge which he alone possesses. Thus the unjust claimants cannot equate themselves with the rightful Fatimi Imam despite their wordly strength.
[6] IMAM AS THE BOOK OF GUIDANCE: Verse 11:17 revealed: The Book revealed to Prophet Musa, i.e. the Taurat (Torah) is referred to as Imam (guide) and mercy. Similarly, it is referred to as Imam in verse 46:12.
It is interesting to see that the word Imam is used to mean highway (road, path). In fact, it is also interesting to see that the words like deen, shariah, tariqa, madhhab, sirat all signify, in one sense or another, a path, e.g. deen means a road, Shariah means a main road leading to a river (enabling the thirsty to drink water), tariqa means a path emerging out of the Shariah, madhhab means a highway, sirat means a road leading to a place of worship and furthermore, Ummah means a group of people moving towards a common destination under the guidance of a single leader and along a single road. In the pre-Islamic era, hadiwas a man with a specialized knowledge of all the possible ways in the desert, whose profession was to lead man in the right path until they reached their destination safely.
The leader i.e. Imam who shows the path himself is known as the path and through this path the recognition of Allah is achieved, as it is said in the Qura’n: Verily, My Lord is on the straight path.”(11:56)
[7] IMAM AS WITNESS: Lastly, in 17:71, the term Imam is used in the sense of a witness, i.e. the Imam will serve as a witness on behalf of his followers.
In this ayat the term Kull, ‘all’ is used, which indicates that every person (from Hazrat Adam’s progeny) will be summoned with his/her leader, and only then will Allah give judgement of either reward or punishment. It is implied that at all times, the righteous Imams and the false Imams will be there with whom their followers will be summoned, otherwise the word of Allah Himself would be false. One should hold fast to the rightful Imam for the benefit of one’s soul. This is testified in the Qur’an in the following two verses: 19:87 and 43:86.
CONCLUSION: To conclude, among the various meanings of the word Imam in the Qur’an a guide or a leader seems to be the most generally applicable. A close observation of other meanings also reveals that they are related very closely to this basic meanings. For instance, the Book, the Path, the Witness imply as well as assume the meaning of leadership or guidance. The true Imamah (the institution of rightful Fatimi Imam) is from amongst the progeny of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), it is Divinely Designated and it always exists in this world.
[9]NonBohras literature not authenticated by Authorised representative of Allah.
There is no religious authority who have authorized if work of Bukhari, Muslim, etc are authentic. Their work is subject to human errors of author himself and errors from those who have relayed traditions to him. When words of mouth pass from one to another, then to 3rd and to next till three hundred plus years then they are prone to loose the originality and could be mutated or altered or forged.
They say that Prophet Mohammad s.a.w.w. made a mistake while advising about dates plantation. If he can commit errors then why Bukhari and Muslim cannot commit errors? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[10] Litmus test to check authenticity of claimant of Imam
Q) How to verify if a claimant of Imam is really an Imam? A) As per Quran he is flawless and is speaking version of Quran, he knows not only all languages but also all dialects. So test him if the claimant knew all languages and dialects. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[11] Molatina Fatima a.s. bint Prophet Mohammad s.a.w.w. Book Sahih Muslim, 31:5999 says, Rasool'Allah said, "He who disturbs Fatima, in fact disturbs me, and he who offends her; offends me." Book Sahih Bukhari, 59:546 says, "Molatina Fatima became angry with Abu Bakr and kept away from him, and did not talk to him till she died. Ali buried her at night without informing Abu Bakr and he said the funeral prayers by himself." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[13] Will of Mohammad s.a.w.w. Muslims are slaves of their Master Mohammad s.a.w.w., slaves can't vote who their next master will be. It is only the sole prerogative of Master to decide who will replace him. Mohammad (s) announced on the grounds of Gadeer-Khum, "This Ali ibn Abi Talib is the master of all, whose master is I." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[14] Names of Ahle Bayt children's - were they kept after names of Awwal, Sani and Salis?
Case: "They" project love and normalcy between Ahlul Bayt and Awwal, Sani and Salis. To support this contention they argue that Ahlul Bayt kept their childrens name after 1-2-3, hence that rejects and falsify Shia's stand.
1. Should above be true then why Awwal, Sani and Salis never named any of their sons and daughters or grand sons and grand daughters after the name of Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hussain?!!!
2. 'Abu Bakr' is not name, it is title (kuniyat), his name before conversion was Ateeq, and after conversion was Abdullah. If Mola Ali a.s. wants to name his son after him, he would have named them Ateeq or Abdullah.
3. Was there only one Abu Bakr? There is no evidence in Sunni books of Sihah Sitta that says Ali named his son after Hazrat Abu Bakr.
4. 'Umar bin Mukarim' was son of Sayyeda Umme Salma w/o Prophet Mohamed PBUH from her previous marriage. He was very loyal to Mola Ali a.s. He was placed at front line in the battle of Jamal and battle of Siffin. He was also made Governor of Bahrain by Mola Ali a.s. - Mola Ali a.s. could have named his son after this Umar. Again there is not a single tradition in the book of Sunni's Sihah Sitta that says that Ali kept his son name Umar after the name of Hazrat Umar bin Khattab.
5. Ditto for Hazrat Usman, no tradition present in the books of Sunni Sihah Sitta says that Mola Ali a.s. kept his son name after 3rd king Hazrat Usman bin Affan. Mola Ali a.s. could name his son Usman after the name of 'Usman bin Mafoon', he was the 14th revert to Islam, very sincere ashab of Prophet PBUH, he was so sincere that even during the time of Jahiliyat he didn't drank alcohol.
Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim quoted many traditions saying, Molatina Fatima a.s. bint Prophet Mohamed PBUH was so much ANGRY with Awwal that she willed to her husband Ameer-al-Mumineen Mola Ali a.s. that Awwal should not participate in her funeral prayers. And Ali did the same, even didn't notified Awwal and party about the death of Fatima a.s. bint Rasoolallah PBUH.
When Fatima a.s. is not even at the talking terms with Awwal - only fools can believe she will give her daughter in marriage to Awwal's 'jodidaar' (partner) Sani. Should there was love between Ahlul Bayt and Awwal, Sani and Salis then Molatina Fatima a.s. would not have made above will!!! Hence proved "They" have forged and made-up their case to veil facts and portray false picture to con "their" followers. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[15]Mohammad, Ali and Fatimi Imams are "Bismillah" of their era. A nugget from the 'Haqiqat' faculty of deeni knowledge (it is like doctorate course in our universities)- Summary of Quran is Sura Al Fateha, its summary is "Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem", this begins with "Bismillah". So the beginning of beginning of Quran is: Bismillah. Bismillah = Name of Khuda.
Point: Fatimi Imams are 'Bismillah' of their era. Fatimi Imams are name of Allah of their era.
Proof:Quran chapter 6, verse 121 says, "Don't eat that food on which God name has not been pronounced."
If Prophet Mohammad (s) or Fatimi Imams (a) declares any food stuff as "Haraam", then even after pronouncing Allah's name on it for hundred times also will not make that food "Halal"! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[16] Why Mola Ali a.s. let others usurp the caliphate (kingship)?
At time of Prophet Mohammad (s) martyr, Mola Ali (a) was busy arranging for burial and the last rituals of Prophet. Where else they were busy in plotting the coup at place called Saqifa. They plotted - we will declare X as Caliph, when X will die he will appoint Y and likewise for Z. Should Ali ibn Abi Talib (a) counter our claim; then we will revert back to our original madhab of 'Idol Worshippers' and pull back many of the new-Muslims in our fold and rule as their leaders.
Mola Ali (a) faced two choices: First, to rightfully claim his right as the successor of Prophet Mohammad (s) - this will incite X, Y and Z and their followers to revert to their originality as Kafir; which can also most likely lead to war and murder of many humans; Muslims and re-new Kafir's, which means all the hard work of Prophet Mohammad (s) will be in vain. Second choice was that if Ali (a) do not claim for Caliph then at least above will be in fold of Islam, Islam will be alive. Mola Ali (a) selected the second choice. Analogy - Two women filed suit against each other claiming self to be the real mother of a baby. When dispute become unresolvable, Mola Ali (a) ordered to cut baby in equal halves and give half-half piece to each claimant. Executioner was about to strike his sword.... the real mother shouted, "STOP", let her have my baby, if not with me; at least my baby will remain alive. Same was the logical reasoning of Mola Ali (a), though I am the real mother, caliphate rightfully belongs to me, but let them have it, so at least neo-Muslims will remain in Islamic fold. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[17] Mola Ali a.s. take on terrorist
The Russians in year 1905 found a letter (deed) of Mola Ali (a) in his own hand-writing which was in Kufi script. This was found in a monastery of Ardabail, chief town of Azar Baijan.
Mola Ali (a) as a caliph and a ruler gives following in writing: Ali ibn Abi Talib (a) promises safety and security of life, property, honour, social status and religious freedom of Armanian Christians. This order should be obeyed by his officers and by his successors. The Christians should not be maltreated or looked down because they are non-Muslims. So long as they do not try to betray and injure the cause of the State of Islam, they should not be molested but should be allowed to practice their religion and to trade freely and openly. Islam teaches us to carry a message of peace with us and improve the status of society wherever we go and the best way to achieve this is to create amity, friendliness and concord between human beings; therefore, Muslims should try to develop friendship of these people and should never resort to wrong use of power, force and arrogance. They should not be overtaxed, should not be humiliated and should not be forced out of their homes, lands, and trades. Their priests should be treated with due respects, their monasteries should be protectedand they should be allowed to carry on their lectures, teachings and preachings as usual and their religious ceremonies should not be banned. If they want to build their places of worship then fallow and unclaimed lands should be allotted to them. One, who disobeys this order is going against the orders of Allah, and the Holy Prophet (s) and will deserve His Wrath.
Can even the most modern declaration of Human Rights improve upon this charter issued by Mola Ali (alay'his'salam)? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[18] Companion of Prophet per se is no merit.
Mir Sadiq was constant COMPANION of Tipu Sultan, the king of Mysore, he gave his daughter in marriage to Tipu Sultan, so to politically strengthen his personal position. Tipu assigned task to Mir Sadiq which he always betrayed. And ultimately plotted the murder of Tipu Sultan.
Hence proved, being a "companion" of King or Prophet is not a criterion in itself to get the companion recognized as "rightly guided". "Companionship" with Prophet is no indicator of companion loyalty, honesty and he doesn't command any respect by default. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
