Why are the Shia looked at in derision by Sunnis and associated with innovations and shirk? We often blame the Salafi propaganda machine, and while that plays a significant role, we need to reflect on ourselves.

Talha once poked fun at Zubayr, telling him, “The names of my sons are the names of prophets while the names of your sons are the names of martyrs!”
So Zubayr responded, “I hope that my sons will become martyrs, but you cannot hope that your sons become prophets!”

"His uncle denied his existence" - and other family members and eyewitnesses confirmed his existence.
"People don't usually live for 1200 years" - yet we know of exceptions like Nuh [a]
"Early Shia scholars collected money in his name" - and that proves he doesn't exist?

We as Shia shouldn't get offended when someone points out that famous supplications are weak in their chains. This does not mean we abandon these supplications. My favourite supplications are Dua Abu Hamza, Dua Jawshan, and Dua Kumayl, even though they're all weak.

The Shia narrative is one of a family tradition passed down through generations. Why are you speaking as if non-Muslims accept your rijali framework and would take for granted the authenticity of chains to companions in your works while they wouldn't do the same with ours?

@Farid_0v
No they don't need to become Shi'i. Believing that the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt like al-Baqir and al-Sadiq weren't just making information up and had a family tradition passed down to them is not the same as becoming a Shi'i.

Furthermore, you keep assuming non-Muslims would take for granted that Sunnis preserve testimony of eyewitnesses. Why would they accept that your hadiths are authentic to companions just because they're quoted through chains (that can only be authenticated using Sunni rijal).

They accuse us of innovating in Islam and doing shirk, accusations we vehemently deny, but then we turn around and defend istighātha which wasn't practiced or taught by the Prophet [s] or Imams [a] and is by definition asking for supernatural help from other than Allah!

One group of Shī`a considers The Resistance™ (i.e. Iran, Bashar, Hezb) as practically infallible and unquestionable.
Another group of Shī`a consider them demons who want to destroy Shī`a Islām.

In his multi-volume magnum opus, “A`yān al-Shī`a”, Sayyid Muḥsin al-Amīn writes that there is no evidence of Sayyida Zaynab leaving Medina again after returning to it after the battle of Karbalā’ (A`yān al-Shī`a, volume 7, p. 140).

We shouldn't be scared of this. You can read weak supplications, no problem, so long as their contents don't contain false beliefs and you don't attribute them to the Prophet [s] or Imams [a]. Simply say, "It's narrated that the Imam used to read this Dua", and you're good to go.

Don't follow what the masses do just because it's popular. Look at what the Prophet [s] and the Imams [a] did. Did they call upon other than Allah? No. Did they beat themselves during ‘Āshūrā’? No. Did they claim to have ‘ilm al-ghayb? No. So stop justifying these innovations.

Read the Quran. Reflect on it. Don't try to twist verses about only calling upon Allah to somehow justify istighātha which wasn't taught or practiced by any prophet or Imam. Read the authentic hadiths of the Prophet [s] and the Imams [a] and you'll see pure tawḥīd.

1. Learn the meaning of what you're saying. Most Muslims don't know Arabic and many pray without even knowing what they're saying, so of course they won't be able to connect with prayer. Go find a translation of the words in prayer and memorize it so you know what you're saying.

There are way more than 66 narrations from Imam Ali [a] in al-Kafi. Furthermore, all 12 Imams are infallible and their teachings come from the Prophet [s], meaning any Imam's narration is a teaching passed down from the Prophet [s] through Ali [a] to the rest.

It quite literally says he visited Imam Musa while his son Abu al-Hasan (i.e. Imam al-Rida) was with him so it's clear he's talking about al-Ridha when he says "my son fulan". And a different version of this hadith appears in al-Kashshi with the Imam's name instead of "fulan":

2. Learn more surahs to read during prayer. Many Muslims repeat “kul huwa Allahu ahad” in their prayer and never add another surah. Learning another surah, even something small like al-Ikhlas or al-Nasr, can help make prayer feel less repetitive as you alternate between surahs.

Surely you're not ignorant of the multiple authentic hadiths in the Imami corpus prophesying his birth then about his birth/existence. The question then becomes why you reject these reports as historical, and you'll say all these Shia are liars/con-artists, so what's the point?

6. Lastly, to my Shia brothers and sisters: separate your prayers! Yes, joining prayers is halal but our Imams [a] rarely did it. The vast majority of the time they separated their prayers. A lot of Shia combine their prayers every time and rarely separate them.

You're attributing God-like power to him by asking him for supernatural help. Muhammad [s] has no power. God has power. All his miracles were not his, they were God's. So asking anyone but God for supernatural help is associating partners with him.

I wouldn't say Zaydis are indistinguishable from Sunnis. Zaydis are similar in many areas of fiqh but then so are Ja'faris if you actually compare our fiqh to the four schools (we tend to agree with Hanbalis). When it comes to theology, Zaydis are totally different.

Yes, but you're presupposing that Sunni hadiths *are* eyewitness testimonies. Why would non-Muslims accept that a hadith Bukhari quotes with a chain of four narrators to a companion is an eyewitness testimony? Hadiths in general aren't convincing for non-Muslims. The Quran is.

Separating prayers is not only the dominant practice of the Imams but it also makes it feel like you're praying all throughout the day. Instead of doing 2 rak‘at, then 8 rak‘at back to back, then 7 rak‘at back to back, they're spread out in the day.
