Question ?

Doctor kaleem siddiqui of london claims that the differences between shia and muslims are only secondary. The shia are not out of the fold of islam. On the other hand , doctor alawi syays that the shia are out of fold of islam because of their belief that all the sahabah (radiallahu anhu) (except for a few) are kaafir and that the differences between them and muslims are not secondary but fundamental. Based on the quran, it is necessary to regard the sahabah (radiallahu anhu) to be the best of the ummah and to believe that they are on haqq. Doctor siddiqui says that despite my being a siddiqui (descendant of hadhrat abu bakr siddiq (radiallahu anhu), i definitely consider iran to be the source of guidance. On the other hand doctor alawi says that despite my being an alawi ( descent of hadhrat ali "( radiallahu anhu )", i consider all the sahabah to befitting of the title of "( radiallahu anhu )" and i believe that they all earned the pleasure of allah. I have this belief with regards to each and every sahabi that allah was pleased with him, and he with allah.

Between these two doctors of england , who is on haqq ? Please explain.

May you be rewarded.

Q. Is the Mehdi spoken of in the Hadith the same Mehdi who is regarded as the twelfth Imam of the Shia's ?

A. No, he is not the same person. According to Islam, Mehdi will be born in close proximity to Qiyamat. Nabi Eesa (a.s) will descend from heaven during the reign of Mehdi but, according to Shiaism their twelfth Imam was born centuries ago. At the age of about five years he disappeared and went into concealment where he is hiding till today in a cave in Iraq called as "Man-e-Rae". The Shia's believe that twelfth Imam will one day appear with the true Quran.
