Shia: What impact did you make in Human history?
Our Muslims ancestors spread Islam and made a great empire that lasted until now:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age
We also made Andalusia a Minaret that enlightened all Europe with science, development and knowledge:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Andalus
History still keeps record of the list of Muslim scientists that had a great share in discovering the modern scientific basics the west relies on nowadays:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Muslim_scient...
http://www.1001inventions.com/
But unfortunately the spread of Islam has stopped due to many military fronts the Ottoman Empire had to face (including the persian front) but that is not our subject
That being said, what role did Shia take in human history other than stabbing Muslims in the back and other than the famous bloody inquisition made by the criminal Safavids in former Muslim Iran?
I welcome any suggested accomplishment no matter how insignificant it is
Thanks
Dear MOMIN, i'm asking you to mention your accomplishments only, no need to slander sunnis, this is irrelevant to the Q, and the minaret is metaphorical, it means source of light
@iiraqi: this is like me saying i'm part of this planet and i contributed in space discoveries!
@Ω☻Qinzy☺Ω*: i couldn't care less about what the Americans like or dislike, and the last time i checked i found American troops killing innocent civilians in Afghanistan, you may wanna stop sourcing your info from your media, and learn some morals from the "cavemen" in Afghanistan:
@MostafaShah:
"is gathered by Imam Ali (the first Shia imam) as it is no disguse to anyone!"
EPIC FAIL ON SO MANY LEVELS
First of all, Sayyedna Ali (ra) has never been a Shia Imam, he has always been a True Muslim companion, 2nd of all, The gathering of Quran took place in the reign of Sayydena Abu Bakr (ra) NOT sayyedna Ali (ra)
"from Ebin Sina to Farabi etc." Ebin Sina and Farabi were Sunnis, NEXT>>>>>>
"cannot beat a small group of shia muslim!"
As if Hamas and hundreds other Sunni Mujahideens in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechenya, Somalia, Kosovo, Bosnia...etc are nothing!
thx for your efforts anyway
@Leon: *clapping*, now, care to give me an example of your accomplishments instead of spreading your Shia propaganda?
@Ninety9: Where can i start:
1- Mashallah, i asked you to look into 1400 years of Islamic history and you chose to look into the very last 2 decades ..... THAT'S PATHETIC !
2- Oh you believe every crap in the media? good for you, it might give you a good image
3- DON'T GET ME STARTED WITH YOUR HADITHS, I SWEAR YOU DONT WANNA GO THERE, I WILL MAKE EVERY ONE LITERALLY ROLL ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING IF I REVEALED YOUR "GUIDANCE" BOOKS
4- Even your (Arrivals) proved that 9/11 was an inside job, how hypocrite of Shia!
Your shirk and self beating in the streets is actually what gives Islam a bad name
And as for suicide bombing, what the Shia criminals do is actually much more horrendous and monsterous, Shia might have not made suicide bombings cause they worship Dunya, but their crimes and massacres they have done are much worse and unfortunately more organized & brutal!
u blame it on being a minority? BEING A MINORITY DIDN'T STOP YOU FROM ENGINEERING CONSPIRACIES AGINTS US FOR1400 YRS R8?

thats a q for shiaa. i believe that only the sahaba(ra) worked well for the umma, some da'iya, as for the leaders now, ugh they bring Pure shame. im so honest with u.
after Reading their answers, shiaa lost the chance to make themselves look good.
i mean if u ask a similar q about sunnism, i would show the bad/good points we did to the umma.
no one is infallible. so they shouldnt take it in a bad way, they should be objectif. too much hate here.
=============================
@ Leon:
-who said Yazid represent Sunni? if u wanna lie, at least make it logic man. i dont love Yazid. so whats ur point man?
i dont get how ''sunni'' did a war against Hussayn(Ra)?
- didnt the shiaa reject Zayd the son of Ali(ra)... just bcz he didnt agree to disavow Abu Bakr(ra) and ‘Umar(ra)?
- hmmm didnt shiaa betray Hussayn(ra)?
'' The Shia of Kufa witnessed his execution, and not a single one of them went to the aid of Hussain’s cousin. It is important to remember that only 17 men were with Ubaydullah, whereas there were 18,000 Shia of Kufa who had pledged Bayat to Hussain (رضّى الله عنه) in front of Muslim Ibn Aqil (رضّى الله عنه). How could it be that 18,000 men could not stop 17 men from slaughtering the very man they had just pledged support to? Such was the treachory of the Shia of Kufa.''
- thats a freakin lie, Mu'awiya(ra) didnt curse ali(ra).
- Oh really? 9/11 are u even shiaa thinking? since when Osama bin laden represent islam sunni? we dont believe in killing ppl... shut ur mouth, not just bcz u wanna win a debate and prove what a smart a55 u are, u start lying, killing in our beliefs is haram ! if he selled himself to USA thats not our prob.
and lets say he was sunni, since when one Sunni represent us all? i thought everyone will be judged for his OWN deeds. but waiiit maybe Allah will judge all the sunni for what he did,,, u remind me of Christians when they say that every baby born is holding the ''sin'' of Adam ... well guess what, *surprise surprise*, thats a lie!!!
what makes u shiaa different from the Non muslims who call us Terrorist muslims? OUF . and nah dont worry, im not calling u Non muslims, but u act like them when it comes to this.
maaaaaaaaaaaan he asked u a simple q, he didnt ask u to ruin our image so u feel better about ur sect.
u know? u are only proving that u have nothing to say, that shiaa didnt do anything for the umma and thats why u are hiding behind lies about us.
wow Tough man.. Good job.. loser...
====================================
@ 99: i think shiaa arent different from Non muslims who call us terrorists.
and who said that Hezbollah is only for Shiaa? maybe u should search more about that.
our ahadith? u are busy searching in our ahadith, forgetting ur books...
Saudi arabia/egypt doesnt represent sunnism... so i dont think what u are saying about Saudi/egypt bother me.
thats biased, i can do the same to u ppl, talk about how ashoura makes Revert/Non muslims fear from islam... but thats not fair right? bcz not all shiaa do that.
so why messing just bcz u wanna win a debate.
i rather prove my point while im honest and fair and not like this.
-------------
@ Guardian:
oh so u are with the shiaa in Pakistan? man thats stupidity
both sunni and shiaa there are nothing but killers, ignorants, criminals.
why are u taking sides, they are both killing each others, so they are both a shame and they are both Guilty... how come u take sides?
blindy, what about how Iran are forcing ppl in Iran... didnt u see how many left, Iran bcz islam there is by force, even tho Allah said in the quran ''Let there be no compulsion in religion''
oh Really? ok Nice, so what about Khomeini ur so called Pious sheikh?
i admit that the kings dont represent us, but doesnt all the shiaa kiss his a55?
Iran helped the American crusaders into Iraq.
and it was also Iran who helped the American crusaders into Afghanistan.
who installed the shiaa Shia government in Iraq? hmm America
who installed the Shia government in Afghanistan? hmmm again America
who helped iran in it's war with iraq by suplying them with spare parts through israel during Khomeini's time ???
again it was America.
===>>> at least i say my opinion with honesty that Bin laden/Saddam are dolls in America's hands, USA used them and when it was time, they found a Good way to kick them out of the Game while shiaa are always too arrogant to admit that khomeini/shiaa in the past were also dolls in USA's hands.
there is lots of things to say about shiaism and their contributions. but let me stop here.

All the answers so far are pretty much from the Western perspective. I.e. Jesus, Bush, Hitler. But for me the most impactful individual identifiable in history was probably Genghis Kahn. In a single lifetime (not over many like the Romans) he carved out an empire across the whole of Asia and much of current Europe. He implemented reading, postal systems and laws across huge tracts of land affecting thousands of previously isolated individual tribes. The amount of people his wars killed alone have seriously affected who is a live today - recent studies have shown that one in 200 men in the world carry the Y chromosome that Genghis brought from his particular area of the world; that gene would still be locked into some tribe in Mongolia if Genghis hadn't been a vicious man with unquenchable ambition.

First of all I don't see very much diffrent between Shia and Sunni or christains or jews as all followers are told to do good things and avoid the bads!!!
but if you insists to mention some contributions of Shia to human history I close the matter very briefly in here by reminding that the very Quran which you as a muslim are reading and following is gathered by Imam Ali (the first Shia imam) as it is no disguse to anyone!
So many scentists and schoolars and philosopher came from Iran if you don't know that! from Ebin Sina to Farabi etc.
every idiology is evaluated by its driven results if you agree? if you look around not far way in the middle east you will see your sunni brothers in palastine! you will see some sunni Arab nations hand in hand with Isreal which you claim an enemy and occupier!
on the other hand you'll see a shia nation supporting sunni muslims in palastine eventhough its own national intrests are jeopardized. you will see Shia hezbollah has the gusts fight Isreal and win! A isreal which hit several sunni Arab nations in only 6 days cannot beat a small group of shia muslim! that is the contribution of Shia idiology to Islam!
after all said, I have to say that we should find common intrests between msulims, christains, jews and any other faith and nation to work on and build our peacefull world not the excuses and nonesense points to make our world miserable.
May all the faith and nations live happy and peacefull

considering how shia Muslims are alwyas the minority in most Muslim countries, anythign Shia do or have to say is quickly shut down and covered up, their rights are robbed by Saudi funded Salafis
the most wanted man in the world, Osama Bin Laden (Sunni)
http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101010924/wosama....
the most admired arab leader Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (Shia)
http://www.almanar.com.lb/NewsSite/NewsDetails.asp...
Hezbollah and Iran are the top 2 leaders in the Muslim world who have spoke up against the US, and against Israel
While Saudi Arabia worships the US, and Egypt worships Israel
its YOU who have ruined the image of Islam, with your hadith books about the Prophet
its YOU who have ruined the image of Muslims with ur suicide bombings, 9/11 with the US, and ur intolerance violene and abuse
its the same old shyt with you guys, following the kuffir Sunnah of ur founder Mauwiayh and Yazid, who all they ever did was wage wars, kill, oppress the minority, and abuse and insult Muslims
the only reason why Iran is hated so much, its cause its got 3 of the biggest fitnah makers the world has ever witnessed, the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, all hating on Iran, and spreading their kuffir and misguidance, against Iran
Western propaganda against Islam and Muslims, is no different than the Salafi/Sunni propaganda against Islam (Shia) and Muslims (Shia)

Your so called Muslims ancestors also did a Jihad against the Grandson of Muhammad(pbuh), So your accomplishment is hell fire for loving the killer of Hussain(as).
Another great accomplishment by your so called Muslims ancestors that you forgot to mention is the Laanat of Allah(swt) for following the Biddah of cursing Ali(as) which was introduced by Muawiya(laeen) and lasted till the time of Umar bi Abdul Aziz.
You also forgot to mention 9/11... you Muslim(sunni) made the biggest impact in human history.

Edit- You can't swallow my words and can't taste my thoughts, no propaganda here...just stating the facts.

ARE YOU BLIND??
EVERY SINGLE SUNNI STATE IS LICKING AMERICA'S FEET!!
Shi'a are the only ones who shake the Zionists!!
Iran defeated 40 countries (Alliance of Sunnis and Zionists, i.e. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, US, UK,Soviet Union, etc, etc) by itself!!!!!!
And Hezbollah PUNISHED Israel in 2006!! And your Salafi/Sunni scholars were saying its Haram to help Hezbollah!!
The only Nuclear armed Islamic country that ever existed, i.e. Pakistan was founded by a Shi'a. And it was a Shi'a PM who started the Nuclear arms programme.
Whahahhaa!!! Did you just say Islam has a bad name coz Shias beat themselves, and it has nothing to do with your suicide bombers? LOL!!! No wonder Islam's reputation was completely destroyed after 9/11..
One last thing.. Shias are doing conspiracies against Sunnis???? HAHAHAHAA!!!!!! Funniest joke i heard all year! No wonder all these genocides against Shias by Sunnis are taking place:
Genocide of Shias in pakistan

Shia is Muslim and respects other Muslims whether they are Sunni or Shia.
But some people like you want to introduce themselves as Muslim and meanwhile they are so rude to other Muslims. This is hypocricy, and hypocricy has not place in Islam. So be sure whatever you call yourself, you are not even Muslim.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
Not a Shia Muslim.
But happy to inform you that Al Azhar - the seat of Sunni learning today was foundedby Shia Msulims.
Also, the Shia Muslims have played a major role in modern history of Indian Sub-Continent. Indeed, Pakistan is due to Shia efforts.
Most importantly, it was the intellectual and spiritual teachings of Shia that gave Islam its intellectual and spiritual force.

Mate...just a little reminder, YOU did not personally contribute in any of these events :) So dont act as if you made such an influential contribution to the world. You are nobody and what ever you do or say will have no effect whatsoever.
As to these contributions, they are made by Muslims. I am Muslim, WE are MUSLIMS and like I said before, nothing you can say or do can EVER change that :)
Source(s): Shia Muslim and damn proud.
