Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kashaf-ul-haqaiq CHAPTER 13: REVOLUTION Apparently this topic appears to be unrelated to the subject of this book. I would not have picked up my pen for this, but since this is being considered as part of religion nowadays, and those who oppose it are regarded as the enemies of religion, I consider it my duty to get rid of this misunderstanding as well. This would sort out the truth from falsehood and remove uncertainty and doubt.

Revolution means to turn, revolve, etc. and this can be applied to everything. The major ones are: 1.Governmental revolution. 2.Political revolution - change of system. 3.Revolution in life - Change is lifestyles. 4.Intellectual and spiritual revolution - Change of mind. 5.Religious revolution - Diverting people towards one religion away from others. Let us now see what kind of revolution it is that has happened today and what is behind all this.

It has generally been portrayed as a Shiite revolution whose purpose is the spread of religion all over the world. This is so that the work about which Allah (s.w.t.) Says ‘You wait and We too are waiting’ and for which He (s.w.t.) has kept the Imam Al Mahdi (a.s.) in occultation for, should get done before its time. It is another matter that based on the principle of ‘All deeds are based upon intentions’ completely opposite results seem to be coming out.

It is a habit of mine that whenever I need to find out about any matter then I refer to imam Ali (a.s.)’s saying in Nahj Ul Balagah ‘Whenever you are suspicious about a matter then you come to kow its result by looking at its inception’. I have been thinking about this revolution in Iran for a long time now and suddenly I came across a book entitles ‘Sunni V/s Shia A Pitiful Outcry’.

This book presented such facts that answered all my questions and when you go through the arguments below you will also realise that whatever it may be, this revolution in Iran was definitely not a Shiite revolution to spread the Shiite faith. This was only the establishment of the government of the Mullahs. WHY DID THE MULLAHS THINK OF FORMING A GOVERNMENT? Micavelli has written in his book ‘The Prince’, that in order to establish religious ordinances, the formation of a government is necessary.

This is because, however they may be, they are above reproach and the people tend to accept them easily without much opposition and discipline gets established in the society.
