There are seemingly widespread misconceptions about Shia doctrines, regarding how and why the Shia uphold them.
It is often said that the Shia worship or deify Imam Ali ; however, this refers to a group who actually lived in Ali's time and who saw him as an incarnation of God. Ali, upon learning this, had them killed (they are known as the Ghulat and have no association with the Shia). The term Shia literally means the Party. Early on, the Shia were referred to as Shiat Ali, or The Party of Ali. While the majority of Muslims at the time of Muhammed's death favoured Abu Bakr as the Caliph, a large portion of the population supported Ali, the prophet's son-in-law and cousin. Therefore, the Shia do not recognize Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman as the first three caliphs. (Ali was recognized as the fourth caliph in 656 C.E.)
Shia Islam was seen by some as a political-religious sect that recognizes the leadership of Ali and his descendants. Theologically, Sunni Islam and Shia Islam do not differ, however many schools of thought that developed later on did become differentiated. Shia Islam claims it follows the words of Muhammad as given to him through divine guidance from God in the Qur'an.
However, the Alawites a sect of Shia Islam , hold Ali as an incarnation of God. [7] The majority of Shias denounce such beliefs as blasphemous [citation needed] and against the grain of Islam (absolute, total and inarguable belief and existence of one God) . Shia do not view Ali as a Prophet as many accuse them of doing. He is seen only as the proper protector of the Islamic nation after the death of the prophet Muhammad.
While Shia and Sunni Muslims accept the same sacred text, the Qur'an, it is claimed by Salafi's that the Shia dispute the current version. Nonetheless, Shias say that the accusation is false, as they believe that the Qur'an has never been maliciously altered.
Misconception: Shi'a hate the Sahaba [6] Fact: Shi'a disassociate (Tabarra) themselves from people they consider to be enemies of Allah and Muhammad's progeny (Ahl al-Bayt). The Prophets (AS) were greatest (of them, Muhammad, was the highest), and The Prophets (AS) mentions in a famous hadith that the only recompense he seeks is love for him and his Ahl-ul Bayt (people of his house) (AS). See also Qur'an 42:23 and 33:33. The Shi'a disassociate themselves from people who Sunnis consider to be righteous companions of Muhammad (AS) because the Sunnis' definition of a righteous companion does not adhere with the teachings of Muhammad (AS). More accurately, it can be stated that Shi'a and Sunni differ on who the companions of Muhammad were, and even among those agreed on, Shi'a do not consider all of them to be fully sincere because of their actions and hostile treatment toward the Prophet's family following his death. [7].
[B]Misconception[/B]: The Shi'a are a political sect [8]
Fact: The Shi'a do not see themselves as a political sect, in fact, some interpretations of the Shi'a state that one should not get involved into politics before the re-emergence of the twelfth imam.
[B]Misconception[/B]: The Shi'as apply the ancient Persian idea of royal inheritance to Muhammad's progeny and merely replace royal inheritance with Imamah.[citation needed] Fact: Shia's do not believe that Imamat is inherited but instead individuals were chosen by Allah. This is why the brother might be chosen or the youngest child might be chosen which is not the case with royal inheritance.
[B]Misconception[/B]: That the Shi'a believe that Gabriel made a mistake in bringing the revelation to Muhammad instead of Ali. That the Shi'a say "Gabriel betrayed" (Arabic: ÎÇä Çãíä) after their prayer.
Fact: Shias say that "Allah is the greatest" (Arabic: Çááå ÇßÈÑ) after their prayer and do not believe that angels or God can make mistakes. (For reference, See article al-islam . org / underattack / 2 . htm )
[B]Misconception[/B]: That the Shi'a believe in their Imams as equals to the Islamic prophet Muhammad [9]
Fact: Shi'as believe that the Prophet was the greatest man who was and will be created. They believe the Imams were sent on this earth to continue preaching the message of the Holy Prophet(s) ; thus a full and exact knowledge of the message is required. Therefore , the Imams, who act as middlemen between God and His followers , must have the same knowledge of the message to be transmitted as the prophets who originally received the message in order to pass it on in its exact form . Also Allah (Swt) promised the people that He would never leave the ummah without a living guide, thus following the death of Muhammad (AS), Imam Ali (AS) was the rightful and appointed successor by the man himself.)
Misconception: That, similarly to Christian beliefs about Jesus, the Shi'a believe in the sacrifice of a sacred person by the name of Husayn ibn Ali, to save the Ummah from their sins [10].
Shi'a Answer: False. The words above are twisted and changed entirely with added and wrong meaning to portray a very wrong picture of a Shia scholarly theory that resembles in no way with what has been stated above. Even the original scholarly theory, though completely different in words and meaning, is not an obligatory belief of the Shia.
[B]Misconception[/B]: That the Shi'a are a Sufi sect
Shi'a Answer: This is a baseless claim.
[B]Misconception[/B]: That the Shi'a are a Jewish sect [6].
Shi'a Answer: This fairy tale misconception is commonly used with the claim that ibn-e Saba was a Jew and that it was a Jewish conspiracy. This man was an extremist and his faith and the faith of the people in his small sect (see below) is not within the boundaries of Islam according to both Sunni and Shia schools of thought.
[B]Misconception[/B]: That the Shi'a believes that Ali is Allah Fact: Ancient minor sects claimed that Ali was a re-incarnation of Allah, Ali himself rejected this, and Shia and Sunnis both rejected these groups as being outside the bounds of Islam.
Misconception: Shi'a are Persians who hate Arabs [12].
Shi'a Answer: This is again incorrect. Islam has no room for racialism as documented by various books of the sayings of Muhammad. The Shia-Muslims are currently in majority in the Persian lands (Iran). The cruel Ummayyad Merwanid Abbasid Monarchs murdered and oppressed the Shia and the Descendants of the family of Muhammed (Banu Hashim, the clan of Muhammed and the Ahl-e Bayt, the People of the House, which include the 12 Imams) and drove them out of Hijaz, currently Saudi Arabi, long ago (See book, History of the Prophets and Kings, translated by Watt, Montgomery, written by Muhammad Ibn Jarir Al-Tabari, the oldest translations of his book were made in French.) The Shia are not fond of Saddam Hussain as he was an admirer of the Umayyad and Abbasid works and according to him '.. The survivors of the Karbala should have been finished with Imam Hussain and this whole matter would have ended there ...'. Truth is, the Abbasid came into power using the Shia and when their monarchs, particularly, Al-Mansur ignored the religion of God and busied himself in stabilizing the regime and gaining power, the Shia leadership withdrew their support for the Abbasids. Without religious backing of the scholars, no one could have ruled the Arabian kingdom and thus the Sunni scholars were brought forth and their religious works were adopted as state religion and brutally enforced.
Misconception: Shi'a believe Fatimah had "her own" Qur'an [13]
Shi'a Answer: False. Any Muslim scholar can write their own Tafsir or detailed explanation of Qu'ran. It may have been a personal collection of explanation of the verses in Qur'an called Tafsir among other prayers which was what she heard from her father, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, through her life. Shi'a believe in the exact same arabic text Qur'an, with 114 chapters, as the one the Sunni possess today
[B]Misconception[/B]: That Ibn Saba founded Shia Islam [6].
Shi'a Answer: False.. In this fictional story woven by the claimants, they also claim that Ibn-e Saba killed the third caliph Usman and instated Ali bin Abi Talib as the fourth caliph of Islam, which is obviously a prepostrous attempt on history.

Misconception: Shi'a slander A'isha, breaking Qura'nic rules
