Hate for the sake of hating people isn't really possible without a mental condition. We hate for the sake of Allah . We hate those who hate those who He loves. If a Shi'a repents from his hatred of the sahaba and the ummahat-ul-mu'mineen رضي الله عنهن and rejects the belief in a divine imamah, then he is my brother.

I understand we hate their aqeeda and a'maal as opposed to simply hating people. I disagree with the theory you have to be in a mental condition to hate what they stand for and what they do. One can show his love to Allah Ta'ala without needing to hate others to validate or justify it. You do not need to hate people to hate their aqeeda and actions. Nabi (SAW) never hated his uncle Abu Talib even though he was a Mushrik till the day he died. He hated his Aqeeda and A'mal - but not the man himself. He always worked to rectify him, even at his deathbed. That is a crucial lesson for all of us. Rather, we should pray for them, keep up our duty of opposing and rectifying their beliefs/actions. Maybe this is pragmatic but I just don't see and have not seen anything to suggest we show hate towards a people for the sake of hatred alone. We hate them for a reason, which is their aqeeda and actions which is why is does not become a personalised/emotional issue (atleast on the face of it). Appericate you points brother.

Allahu A'lam
