Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Role of Holy Imams (a.s.) in the Revival of Religion Vol. 2 Chapter 6 In this discussion, it was decided to analyze the third factor in the alteration of Islam i.e. fabrication of traditions. However, as the main issues are bygone, only the balance has remained which perhaps without them, the depth of the matter cannot be clarified the way it should be done.

(We sent) apostles as the givers of good news and as warners, so that people should not have a plea against Allah after the (coming of) apostles.» This is the scheme of creation of the Universe and this aim and objective of the Lord of the Universe begins right from the appointment of Prophets.

Factors Which Attributed To The Alteration Of Religions One of the ways of their opposition and campaign was to repress the propagation of these teachings and commands. Thus, they brought under their check the narration and propagation of the sayings and hadith of the Holy Prophet (S).
