Why do Shia’s claim that Imam Ali's father Abu Talib is in Jannah even though the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) say he died in kufr?
Can you tell me about their different views on the Imams?
Sure, Shia's believe that the Imams are divinely chosen leaders and spiritual guides who are infallible and have direct connection with Allah. Sunnis on the other hand, believe that the Caliphs were chosen by the Muslim community as political leaders, but not as spiritual guides, and that they were not infallible.
