Tabarra (Arabic: تبرأ) - is a Shia Muslim doctrine that refers to the obligation of hating those who hate Allah and cursing those who reject the wilayah of Ahl al-Bayt.

Definition
Every Shia Muslim believes it to be their duty to dissociate themselves from the enemies of God and his Messengers. The MErcury Surface Space ENvironment GEochemistry and Ranging ( MESSENGER) probe is a NASA Spacecraft, launched August 3, 2004 Muslims differ on whom to consider to be the enemies of Allah, Muhammad and the Ahl al-Bayt. Allah ( Arabic: الله, ʔalˤːɑːh) is the standard Arabic word for ' For brevity, only Ahl al-Bayt will be mentioned in this article.
The doctrine of Tabarra itself does not dictate whom to dissociate from or whom to associate with. It dictates the dissociation of those identified as enemies of Ahl al-bayt. The identification is up to every individual.
For example, some people may regard Umar as the enemy of Ahl al-Bayt. Umar (a=عمر بن الخطاب|t=`Umar ibn al-Khattāb c 581-83 CE &ndash 7 November, 644) also known as Umar the Great or Omar the Great In that case, it becomes obligatory to dissociate oneself from Umar. However, others may regard Umar to be a friend and lover of Ahl al-Bayt, and for them the opposite comes obligatory in accordance to Tawalla. Tawalla (تولّى - Loving the Ahl al-Bayt, is a part of the Twelver Shi'a Branches of Religion and is derived from a Qur'anic
Although Tabarra specifically means to dissociate from enemies of God, it contains by effect the obligation to dissociate from evil acts and fobidden things, for example seeing someone's awrah. Awrah (عورة is a term used within Islam which denotes the parts of the Body that are not meant to be exposed in public
The concept of cursing exists in Shia Islam, but does not refer to the act of cursing as perceived in Western societies. The definition of cursing someone in Shia Islam is to ask Allah to remove him or her from His Mercy.
Qur'an
A Qur'anic verse can be found that carries the same message as this doctrine. By Arberry, verse 9:1:
- An acquittal (Arabic: Baraatun), from God and His Messenger, unto the idolaters with whom you made covenant:
Baraatun is derived from the same consonantal root as Tabarra. Arthur John Arberry ( Portsmouth, May 12 1905 &ndash Cambridge, October 2 1969) was a respected and most prolific scholar In the terminology used to discuss the grammar of the Semitic languages and some other Afro-Asiatic languages, a triliteral ( Arabic: جذر ثلاثي
Shia and Sunni differences
Since Shias and Sunnis have different sources of hadith, they tend to come to different conclusions regarding whom the enemies of Ahl al-Bayt are. Hadith ( ar الحديث, pl aḥadīth; lit. "narrative" are oral Traditions relating to the words and deeds of the Islamic Sunni and Shia (or Shiite are the two major denominations of Islam.
In some cases Sunni and Shia have the same view, for example regarding Abu Lahab, Abu Jahl and Umayah ibn Khalaf. Abu Lahab ibn 'Abdul Muttalib (أبو لهب (c death 624 is among those named as Enemies of Islam condemned by name in the Surah Al-Masadd. Amr ibn Hishām (died March 17, 624) (عمرو بن هشام better known as Abu Jahl, was one of the Meccan leaders known for his hostility against Umayyah ibn Khalaf ibn Safwan was a Meccan Arab, a leading member of the Quraish and head of the of Bani Jumah. But controverses arise concerning Sahabas since Sunnis believe in the Uprightness of all Sahaba while Shia do not. This is a sub-article to Sunni view of the Sahaba. The Uprightness of all Sahaba is the name for a doctrinal view that it is a Sin to speak
Due to the Shi'ah view of early Muslim history, one Shia scholar stated:
- Regarding the doctrine of' 'Tabarri' we believe that we should seek disassociation from four idols namely, Abu Bakr, Omar, Uthman and Mu'awiyah; from four women namely, Ayesha, Hafsa, Hind and Ummul Hakam, along with all their associates and followers. Idolatry is usually defined as Worship of any Cult image, Idea, or object, as opposed to the worship of a monotheistic God. Early life Abu Bakr was born at Mecca some time in the year 573 CE, in the Banu Taym branch of the Quraysh tribe Umar (a=عمر بن الخطاب|t=`Umar ibn al-Khattāb c 581-83 CE &ndash 7 November, 644) also known as Umar the Great or Omar the Great Uthman (a=عثمان|t=Othman Osman Usman Ozman is a male Arabic given name meaning "the chosen one amongst the tribe of brave and noble people" "honest" Mu'awiyah I (a=معاوية بن أبي سفيان|t=Mu‘āwīyah ibn Abī Sufyān 602-680 was a Sahaba (companion of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad Hafsa often confused with Hafza and Hafiza is an Arabic Female Given name meaning 'young lioness' Hind bint Utbah (هند بنت عتبة was an Arabic woman who lived in the late 6th and early 7th centuries CE she was the wife of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, a 'These are the worst creation of Allah. It is not possible to believe in Allah, His Messenger and the Imams without disassociating oneself from their enemies. Imāmah (إمامة is the Shī‘ah doctrine of religious spiritual and political leadership of the Ummah. Haqqul Yaqeen: 2:519
Note that the scholar says "from their enemies" and not "from Umar & co". Every Muslim believes that it is important to disassociate themselves from the enemies of Muhammad, however Muslims differ upon who those are.
Shia also believe that this view was held by the descendants of Muhammad. Shia hold for authentic a narration attributed to Muhammad al Baqir. Muḥammad ibn ‘Alī al-Baqir (محمد ابن علي الباقر) (676-743 AD or 1 Rajab 57 AH – 7 Dhu al-Hijjah 114 AH was the Fifth Imām He was reported to have replied to his disciple who had sought the Imam's opinion regarding Abu Bakr and Umar:
- "What are you asking me about them (Abu Bakr and Umar)? Whoever among us (Ahl al-Bayt) or the progeny of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) departed from this world, departed in a state of extreme displeasure with them. Early life Abu Bakr was born at Mecca some time in the year 573 CE, in the Banu Taym branch of the Quraysh tribe Umar (a=عمر بن الخطاب|t=`Umar ibn al-Khattāb c 581-83 CE &ndash 7 November, 644) also known as Umar the Great or Omar the Great IMPORTANT PLEASE READ ##### For all questions relating to the addition of (pbuh peace be upon him or other honorifics For the Jewish honorific see Honorifics for the dead in Judaism Peace be upon him. The elders among us admonished the younger ones to perpetuate it (extreme displeasure with them), Verily, the two of them have unjustly usurped our right. By Allah! These two were the first to settle on our (Ahl al-Bayt) necks . Therefore, may the la'nat (curse) of Allah, the Malaikah (angels) and of mankind be on the two of them. In Islam, one can pray for God to Curse someone This is done with the Arabic word La'nat. An angel is a Spiritual Supernatural being found in many Religions Although the nature of angels and the tasks given to them vary from tradition to tradition An angel is a Spiritual Supernatural being found in many Religions Although the nature of angels and the tasks given to them vary from tradition to tradition Kitabur Raudhah Page 115
In the same book, on the same page appears the following:
- "Verily. these two elders (Abu Bakr and Umar) departed from this world without having made taubah for what they had perpetrated against Ameerul Mumineen Alayhis Salaam. In fact, they did not even think of us (of their wrongs against Hadhrat Ali). Therefore, the la'nat of Allah, the Malaikah and of mankind be on them. " Kitabur Raudhah Page 115
Since Shia hold for authentic narrations where the descendants of Muhammad cursed the Sunni Caliphs, Shia also curse them when doing tabarra. In Islam, one can pray for God to Curse someone This is done with the Arabic word La'nat.
This added to the persecution of the Shias by the Sunnis. Sunni and Shia (or Shiite are the two major denominations of Islam. To protect themselves in times where their life where in jeopardy, Shias used the doctrine of Taqiyya and where prevented from using tabarra in public. Persecution of Shia MuslimsWithin Shi'ite Islamic tradition the concept of Taqiyya (تقية - 'fear guard against' refers to a dispensation allowing believers to conceal
Even though Tabarra is not a part of the Sunni aqidah, they have been known to use it in some occasions, for example to cursed upon Ubaid-Allah ibn Ziyad, a person they hold as responsible for the killing of Husain ibn Ali in the Battle of Karbala:
- "May Allah curse the son of Ibn Sumiyya (Ibn Ziyad, la’natullahi ‘alayh)!"ref
Contemporary status
In countries where Shias are in a minority they continue to perform Taqiyya. Aqidah (sometimes spelled Aqeeda, Aqidah or Aqida) (عقيدة is an Islamic term meaning Creed. Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad (عبيد الله بن زياد was a son of Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan. Ḥusayn ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib ( ar حسين بن علي بن أﺑﻲ طالب) (third of Shaban 4 AH / 8th January 626 AD at Medina The Battle of Karbala took place on Muharram 10 61 AH ( October 9 or 10 680 CE in Karbala, in present day Iraq. For example, Saudi Arabia, Southern Afghanistan, Sunni areas of Pakistan, and in parts of Jordan.
Doing tabarra still causes Sunnis to feel dislike when confronted with the prayers. Due to some hadith attributed to the Shia Imams, some Shia scholars have argued that it is not permissible to pray for divine curse upon Sahaba in front of Sunnis, since that would hurt their feelings and the strive for unity among Muslims. In Islam, the Ṣaḥābah (الصحابة "Companions" were the companions of the Islamic prophet Muḥammad.
