In reply to Gulam Mohammed post he says:
Whereas, Quran generally talks about 'laanat' it means 'rejection' of the ways of the kuffar and the latter's removal from Allah's grace on the day of Judgement.
This isn't totally true, as there are many more categories of people who are worthy of La'nat.
In the Quran, Allah, his Malaekat and the "people" pray La'nat on the following:
-Kafereen (non believers)
-Those who didn't follow Musa
-Who hide & deny the Truth
-Liars
-Zalemeen (Tyrants)
-The followers of Saturday (Jews)
-Killer of a Mumin
-Mushrik
-The people going into hell fire will pray La'nat on each other for leading them astray and also pray La'nat on their so called leaders.
- People of A'ad
-Fir'awn and his people
-Iblees
-Person who accuses someone else
- Those who make life difficult for the Prophet
GM then says:
When Allah invokes laanat on Kuffar, that does not give Muslims a command to do likewise. That encroaches on Allah's privilege, a clear case of arrogance. Only Allah can judge who to reject.
This is also incorrect as in the following chapters, along with Allah, the angels and the PEOPLE pray la'nat. Therefore, even the people can pray La'nat, as long as its justified
161|إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ
(Those who did Kufr and died as Kafirs, on them is the La'nat of Allah, the angels and the PEOPLE)
لُعِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ عَلَىٰ لِسَانِ دَاوُۥدَ وَعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ
Dawood Nabi, and Isa Nabi prayed La'at on the Kafirs of Banu Israel
2|159|إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَآ أَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلْهُدَىٰ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ۙ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَلْعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّٰعِنُونَ
Those who hid the Truth, have the La'nat of Allah and the LA'NAT prayers (angels/people etc).
So in the above it is clear that Allah, angels and the people can pray La'nat.
GM says:
There is no ayat in the Quran which asks Muslims to invoke 'laanat' on anyone. In any case, that would be against the spirit of the Quran.
This statement is completely false and shows his lack of understanding of the Quran.
We Shias/DBs pray La'nat on those whom we believe fall into the above categories. (Zalim, Kafir, killer, liar, accuser etc etc)
