Shia's claim on Qur'anic Verses

[The Sardar]

Salam/Peace everyone, i came across a Shia website and it uses Qur'anic verses that is "supposed" to support a Shia Imam Caliphate but i am not sure about that.

Here is the article: http://why-sunnis-convert-to-shia.com/quranic-verses-of-imamate/

And i noticed they did some distorting like 33:33 which their translation is off

33:33. And stay quietly in your houses, and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former Times of Ignorance; and establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah only wishes to remove all abomination from you, ye members of the Family, and to make you pure and spotless. (Fatima, Ali, Hasan, Hussein)

In this lined part the word Bayt does not mean Family, that's 'âla (ءال):

Alif-Waw-Lam - To return, be before, come back to. To interpret [by consideration], explain. To contract, withdraw, become. To preside over, hold command or authority. To come to be. To put in a proper state/condition, or to compose [an affair]. To resort to; namely [a thing of any kind; the thing or place whence he or it originated, or came. His or its origin or source; his or its original state, condition, quantity, weight; any place. A former action, saying, or the like]. To return or restore to [ a thing, place, or disposition]. To explain, expound, interpret [collecting the meanings of dubious expressions by such expression as is clear, or plain, without dubiousness]. To explain the meaning of that which is equivocal or ambiguous. To be seen from a distance.

Another distortion they made is 38:26:

38:26. O David! We did indeed make thee an Imam on earth: so judge thou between men in truth (and justice): Nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart), for they will mislead thee from the Path of Allah. for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account.

In this lined part is a mistranslation, the word here is khalîfatan (خليفة) which means successor:

Kh-Lam-Fa = To follow/come after/succeed another, substitute or supersede, to supply/be a supplier to someone, to restore or replace a thing to someone, smite or strike from behind, yearn towards other than one's spouse (in the spouses absence/behind his or her back), speak of/mention someone behind his or her back, remain behind/not go forth, to be kept back from all good, to not prosper or be successful, to become corrupt or altered for the worse, retire/withdraw/go away, to turn away from/avoid/shun a thing, to become foolish/idiotic/deficient in intellect, contrarious/hard in disposition, to leave behind, to appoint someone as successor, disagree with or differ from someone, contradict or oppose someone, to break/fail to perform a promise, to follow reciprocally/alternate/interchange, repeatedly move to and fro (coming and going), to differ/ be dissimilar

And also 2:124 is also a mistranslation:

2:124. And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers.

Here they translated Al-Nâsi as Nations but that is not true, it's people or Mankind:

Nun-Waw-Siin = to swing, halt in a place, move, toss. Mankind, people, others, men.

And their translation of 17:71 is odd:

17:71. One day We shall call together all human beings with their (respective) Imams: those who are given their record in their right hand will read it (with pleasure), and they will not be dealt with unjustly in the least.

Here the word Imam does occur but it's singular, not plural as they translated. In context, this is about Allah's (SWTAY) servants and the ships (Read from 17:54)

And their translation of 2:30 is also odd:

2:30.  And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

Here the word authority or Amrun does not occur in the Arabic text of Qur'an.

Amrun root word:

So what do you think dear siblings, i would like to hear your thoughts on this?

[woke]

Bayt is not a physical house. It is a construct. like the construct of a tent, or a poem verse.  in 33:33 Quran is saying stay in your "construct" in order to know it better. the Al-Bayt is The Construct, as in Allah's construct.  The construct of the righteous.  so when it says we only want to purify the people of the bayt. That means learn Quran's construct (right and wrong) and why? in order to purify the people entering this construct or system to keep it pure. It is not referring to shia or sunni, or ahl al bayt of shia

This "ahl-Bayt" propaganda was established after ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān enforced Aristocracy in the arabian empire. The persians werent allowed to have political positions in the empire. Im slowly starting to believe that the murder of Hussein was a conspiracy to initiate a political revolution. The persian elite werent stupid, they might have used that Hussein vs Yazid disagreement for their benefit. Letters from Kufa to lure him into a trap- seems logical to me. Yazid never wanted him dead.

And dont think they cared 2 peanuts about Muhammad and his Message, holy peoples teachings were always abused by power-hungry individuals to institutionalize it and control the population.

The Angel of the LORD proceeded: ?Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction. He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone?s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.? So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: ?You are the God who sees me,? for she said, ?Here I have seen the One who sees me!? -Genesis 16:11-13

And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. - Genesis 17:20
