There is no doubt that the Shi'a of Ali (as) are a peace loving people, and are the standard bearers of unity amongst Muslims. The Shi'a Ulema have striven hard towards this goal inviting our brothers to sit and talk with us, it should be pointed out that the invitation does not constitute a defect in religious belief on our part.It seemed that their efforts had borne fruit when in 1959 Shaykh Mahmood Shaltoot, Grand Mufti of Al Azhar University issued a fatwa declaring Fiqh-e-Jaferiyya an Islamic school of thought, and adherents were free to adopt it in the same way that they could follow the other four schools.Despite this major breakthrough, it is with deep regret that we look around us and see that despite entering a new century, this polemical battle, with those who support and revere the enemies of Hadhrath Ali (as) is still going on today.The contemporary Nasibis, the Deobandis (rigid Hanafees from the Indian Subcontinent) and the 'la madhabi' (Salafees from Saudi Arabia) have sought to undermine the spirit of the Al Azhar fatwa by orchestrating a well financed / baseless campaign of lies against the Shi'a, aimed at dividing the Muslims. Just like their Nasibi ancestors who sought to undermine and ruin Imam Ali (as) by accusing him of killing Hadhrath Uthman (when they themselves had his blood on their hands) to the point of slandering, cursing and fighting him, their modern day offspring have likewise adopted these same methods against his Shi'a. They have used every form of deception possible to achieve this aim. This has included the common Nasibi tactic of distorting / denying and re-writing historical facts, misquoting Shi'a texts and intentionally lying about the Shi'a faith to the ignorant masses so as to create a hatred of the adherents of the Ahlul'bayt. They are undoubtedly the leaders of sedition and they are responsible for inciting fitna and sectarian violence everywhere they operate- in exchange for 'lucrative' handouts in the form of cash, presents and young boys from their Saudi / US paymasters.Curiously whilst attacking the Shi'a, these groups are themselves divided and they frequently issue takfir against one another. The Prophet (s) had once compared the Ummah to a body. The Nasibis are a cancer attacking the body. It is imperative that we uproot this cancer from the body so as to save this Ummah from further fragmentation and destruction.
Our methodology
We will adopt the same steps, as would a Doctor seeking to identify a patient's ailment. He would:Diagnose the condition - We will likewise diagnose the symptoms of a Nasibi.Determine whether the symptoms have spread - We will examine the extent to which Nasibi thinking has penetrated through the body.Take a biopsy to use quantifiable evidence / tissue diagnosis etc - We will likewise rely on quantifiable evidence presenting facts based on history, hadith and the texts of the Nasibis.
Defending our approach
There is no doubt be some that will criticize the harsh / attacking style used by the book. We however, feel that we have been left with no other choice. Having had to endure attack after attack of volatile abuse from the Nasibis whether that be in book form or on the Internet, we feel that the time has come to adopt this approach.We wish to make it clear from the onset that this is not a defensive work where we set our stall on the market explaining our beliefs to passers by. There are excellent sites performing that very function those who want to know the truth about Shi'a faith should go there (eg. www.al-islam.org). This book takes the method of attack.
