Course Description: The Concept of Ghulu (Exaggeration about Ahl al-Bayt and Attributing Divinity to Them)
This course explores the concept of Ghulu (exaggeration) in relation to the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), particularly focusing on the erroneous belief of attributing divinity to them. Throughout the series, we will examine how certain individuals and groups, some claiming to be Shia Muslims, have deviated from the true teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his family. We will address the crucial issue of how exaggerating the virtues and powers of the Ahl al-Bayt can lead to misconceptions and distortions in the understanding of their role.
The first part of the course delves into the historical roots of Ghulu, tracing its development over time. We will analyze key incidents and figures who contributed to the spread of exaggerated beliefs about the Ahl al-Bayt. This includes understanding the context in which such beliefs emerged and the consequences they had on Islamic thought and practice. Special attention will be given to how these exaggerated views went against the pure teachings of Islam as conveyed by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the Ahl al-Bayt.
In the second part, we will closely examine the statements of contemporary speakers and scholars who claim to adhere to Shia Islam. We will critically assess whether their views align with the authentic teachings of the Prophet and the Ahl al-Bayt or if they represent a deviation from the true path. By analyzing their statements, we aim to provide a clear understanding of how Ghulu manifests in today's context and how it can mislead followers.
The final section of the course will offer guidance on how to recognize and avoid such deviant beliefs. We will highlight the importance of adhering to the fundamental principles of Islamic theology and Shia teachings while maintaining a balanced and respectful view of the Ahl al-Bayt.

The Ghulat are usually obsessed about calling the imams (as) 'Rab' as a way to mask their deviant and polytheistic beliefs. They will try to play around with semantics in order to justify calling the imams (as) Rab and also use this word to justify their shirk. Therefore in this 2nd episode, we will touch upon the following points:
• The statement of Zameer Naqvi that was subtitled by Omaris
• The Quranic usage of the word Rab & its usage pertaining to meanings other than divine lordship
• How the Quranic exegetes of the so called Ahlus Sunnah defined this term
• Can we call the imams (as) Rab?
• How Imam Baqir (as) used the term Rab in the non-Lordship sense

#TheGhuluSeries #Ep6 #SayedShobayri
In this episode and the following episodes, we will analyse the various narrations which have been attributed to the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) where they have been reported to of said: “Say anything about our merits” while not putting them up to the level of divine Lordship. Such a narration is usually abused and misinterpreted by 2 groups: the Ghulat and Nawasib.
• How should such a narration be understood if we accept it?
• Does this narration mean that one can say absolutely anything about the Imams (as) when praising them?
• Is such a statement unconditional or restricted when compared to other narrations?
Tune in!

#TheGhuluSeries #Ep8 #Sayed #Shobayri
In the following episode, we look at a dua from the 8th Imam, where he condemns and disassociates those who utter exaggeration about the imams (as). We also derive various points from this dua as well as link it with the narrations related to being able to say anything about the merits of Ahlul Bayt (as).
What understanding would one come to when having a holistic reading of the narrations pertaining to speaking of Ahlul Bayt (as) and praising them? Tune in to find out!

In the following episode, we look at the problematic conclusions one would come to by taking the Nasibi/Ghali understanding of the narration: ‘Say anyhing about our merits but do not put us to Lordship’.
Can one literally say anything they like about the imams (as) apart from calling them God? Tune in and see how we show that such an approach would contradict a holistic reading of other narrations.

#TheGhuluSeries #Ep10 #Shobayri
The Nawasib and opponents of the Shia, often try to portray that it is Ghulu and Shirk to link the term 'Abd (servant or slave) to any context which relates to other than Allah. For example when one would call themselves an 'abd' of the imams (as).
Therefore we discuss the following points in this episode:
• How Imam Ali (as) taught true Tawhid to a Jewish Rabbi
• The narrations in Al-Kafi where Imam Ali (as) attributes the word ‘abd to himself in relation to the Prophet Mohammad (sawa)
• The linguistic meaning of ‘Abd and how the Quran uses this word in different contexts
• Did Ahlul Bayt (as) allow one to call themselves a slave of them and if so, in which context?
• How Imam Ridha (as) refuted the wrong attributions of the Ghulat towards the imams (as)

Some of the Shia who are not ghulat, seem to take the matter of ghulat very lightly, to the extent that you will find non ghali-shias mix in gatherings with ghulat, and even share their posters/videos of their events.

The nawasib subtitled a couple of clips of some so called Shia speakers saying that Imam Ali (as) shapes foetuses in the wombs. In previous episodes, we showed that this cannot be proven from reliable shia sources. Nawasib tried to portray that this is shirk and ghulu since Allah swt has the name of the One Who Shapes. With such logic, nawasib shoot themselves in the foot as their own authentic narrations, refute them on this!
