The instigation was the obedience to the Prophet (SAW).

The instigation was the obedience to the Prophet (SAW). One has to refer to the books "Reality of Shiasm and its principles" (ASL AL-SHIA WA ASOOLOHA), "The History of Shiasm" (TAREEQ AL-SHIA) and "Shiasm in History" (AL-SHIA FIL TAREEQ). To become convinced of the facts. The speeches of Ali Bin Abi Taleb compiled in NARJUL BALAGHA (the tone of eloquence) throw light on this fact that the position of ARLUL BAIT (Members of the Prophet's House) was that of leadership morally and materially.

The angle of government is subordinate to it. The writer in this chapter gives this opinion that it was exaggeration that gave shape to Imamate and brought forward the belief in the guardianship of Ali Bin Abi Taleb. Why in this respect and in this particular regard has he not studied or searched or collected the sayings of the Prophet (SAW). Had he too heard as others had heard directly from the mouth of the Prophet (SAW) would have never told what is false and would have respected the truth.

Since history has recorded every word uttered by the Prophet (SAW) he could have made himself acquainted with the Prophet's trend or tendency. But the writer appears to be prejudice; not willing to take his look beyond the angle he has chosen. Since l0 A.D writers have collected the sayings and the conversations and the speeches of the prophet (SAW); all point to the way Shiasm and all indicate what an established fact Shiasm is.

To turn a blind eye to all these and to say that till the tenth and twelfth century there was no sign of the Shia belief, is not only injustice but a shere lie. The blood that was shed prior to this period of those who were Shia by Ziad and his like is also neglected and ignored. Why were they martyred? They adhered to this belief.

Such a type of research into the history of Shia the writer has made and with such an outlook he has emerged that one can not but doubt his honesty and fear his intention which is full of venom. Since the beginning, the Shia have acknowledged, the Imamate. "OULIL AMR" (Master of command) he attributed to the twelve Imams individually. It is an irrefragable fact that ever since the beginning the Shia has had a religions fundamental.

Denial of this fact is to deny the existence of historical personalities. To reject is to admit. Sometimes the writer says that Shiasm from the very beginning was a party, which stood opposing the Sunnism. How wrong he is!
