Sheikh Yasser Al-Habib

Sheikh Yasser Al-Habib is one of the most prominent young Shiite theologians who is known as a man of high intelligence, very controversial islamic lectures, eloquent tongue and attractive personality. He was born in March 1979 in Kuwait and migrated to England in December 2004 after sentencing him to 10 years imprisonment for cursing Abu Bakir, Umar Ibn Al Khattab, and Uthman Bin Affan (who are known in Sunni Islam as the great companions of the prophet Mohammed).

Shiites believe that Abu Baker, Umar Ibn Al Khattab and Uthman Bin Affan are in charge of poisoning the prophet Mohammed and crushing his daughter Fatima Al-Zahra between the door and the wall which caused her to miscarry her fetus Mohsen. After the death of her father prophet Mohammed they attacked her house several times as a mean to force her husband Ali Ibn Abi Talib (who is also prophet Mohammed’s cousin and the first caliph in Shiite Islam) to pledge allegiance to Abu Baker.

Sheikh Yasser Al-Habib focuses on showing the real faces of those companions to the public and proving to all religions that the prophet Mohammed and his decendents are all wronged by those companions.
