Dissecting Ahmad Javaid’s Anti-Shia Discourse

Ahmad Javaid’s has released a new lecture on his YouTube channel titled “Agha Jawad Naqvi! You Too” (Agha Jawad Naqvi Aap Bhi). It seems that this lecture is a response to Agha Jawad Naqvi and addresses “the Question of Criticism on Iran.” However, Javaid has once again misconstrued the Shiite faith and disseminated hate speech against the Shia Muslim community. In his lecture “Agha Jawad Naqvi! You Too,” he misrepresents Shia Muslim beliefs under the guise of critiquing them, making unfounded claims that some practices originated in Iran and do not conform to established Shia teachings.

 

Javid argues that Tabarra is not a part of the Tawalla faith practice in a section titled “Problems and Considerations” (Ashkallat Wa Tahfauzaat). He labels the observance of ‘Ayyam e Fatmiyyah’ as an innovation (Bid’ah) and considers the term itself offensive (Mubtazil). He views the use of ‘Ayyam e Fatmiyyah’ as derogatory (Ihaanat) and extremely blasphemous (Badtareen Toheen).

 

He criticizes the establishment of the “Days of Fattamiyyah” within the Shia community, denouncing it as disrespectful and tracing its roots to Iran. He accuses the community of committing severe blasphemy against their most sacred figures. Javaid misinterprets the purpose and significance of the Shia ritual ‘Eid-e-Zehra,’ denouncing all related traditions mentioned in Shia texts as fabrications and insults (Ihaanat) to the Ahlul Bait. This exemplifies his anti-Shia rhetoric.

{‘Esi Tarah Ayyam e Fattimyyiah Ki Eik Bid’ah Shuroo Ki Gai Hai jis Ka Source Iran Hai. Eik Tu Yeh Naam Bohat Mubtazil Hai. En Ke Muqdasaat Ki Badtareen Toheen En Ke Apne Hathoon Hoti Hai.}

English Transliteration:

 “An innovation called the Days of Fattamiyyah has emerged within the Shia community. Firstly, it is considered contemptuous, and its origins are traced back to Iran. Furthermore, the community itself is accused of committing severe blasphemy against their most sacred figures.”

He faults Shia Muslims for allegedly disrespecting Ayesha R.A., the mother of believers, by suggesting she was involved in Prophet Muhammad’s death, thereby distorting the Shia perspective on the Prophet’s martyrdom.

{ Sub Se Bara Sitam Jo Hone Ja Raha hai , Jis Ka Dool Dal Diya Gaya Hai who Hai Shahadat-e-Rasool Ka Fasna Takeh Umul Momineen Ko Qatila Thehraya Ja Sake}

English Transliteration:

“The significant irony unfolding, which has gained acceptance, is the fabricated or innovated narrative concerning the martyrdom of the Holy Prophet, aimed at implicating the Mother of the Believers, Ayesha R.A., as a murderer.”

 

Furthermore, Javaid criticizes Shia Muslims for their apparent lack of concern for the minorities in Iran, particularly focusing on the Sunnis of various ethnicities, while ignoring the marginalization and persecution of Shia Muslims in Arab monarchies and other regions.

 

He asserts that Shia practices, deemed authentic and integral, are falsely labeled as Iranian innovations, urging Shia Muslims to abandon these traditions, which he claims insult and blaspheme the Ahlul Bait and the Prophet’s wives. His discourse is misleading and fosters anti-Shia sentiment, urging Shia Muslims to renounce their genuine faith practices, not the purported innovations of Iranian clerics.
