“And do not quarrel for then you will be weak in hearts and your
power will depart…”
(Surah Anfâl 8:46)
“And hold fast by the covenant of Allah all together and be not
disunited…”
(Surah Aale Imrân 3:103)
Imam Sâdiq (a.s.) said:
We are the Rope of Allâh (Hablullâh), about whom Allâh said, “And hold fast
by the covenant of Allah all together and be not disunited…”
The above-mentioned verses of the Holy Qurân and the traditions of
Ahle-Bayt (a.s.) emphasise upon the importance of unity. Wisdom also
dictates the same. However true unity among the Muslim Ummah can
only be achieved through a common belief in divine leadership.
That is why in the School of Imamat, the topic of divine leadership is
more emphasized than any other subject. Under the guidance of their infallible Imams (a.s.), the scholars of this school have expounded this belief more and propagated it.
Although, every just person would accept the facts, those desirous of
finding the truth will find this book, “Analysis of the History of Aale
Muhammad”, by Agha Bohlool Bahjat Âfandi most effective.
This is not the only outstanding feature of the book. Though brief, it
contains all references and is comprehensive, containing logical as well
as documentary proofs.
As per the saying of Imam Ali (a.s.), “The best saying is that which is
comprehensive yet short.”
No matter how little, but the publication of a book like this is instrumental in spreading the truth and it has a definite effect upon those who
seek it. It is hoped that it would attract the kind attention of people of
truth. Peace be upon them all.

HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED BY WWW.ISLAMICTHOUGHT.CO.UK | Since 9/11, "Islam" has become a buzzword, conjuring fiery images of fundamentalists and fanatics on a mission to bring down Western culture.
