Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Replay To Belief of Mahdism in Shia Imamate C. Sunnism and Its Sectarian Term Against Shiasm After the Lifetime of the Prophet The analysis of the writer in his book in this chapter is such as to indicate that Shiasm as well as Sonnism were political forms and that they gradually took the status of a religions support which was necessary to their political ends.

Failure of Shiasm in political avenues, the writer attributes to the lack of a corresponding ideology. In this respect, that is, the ideology we would like to correct the writer because he has made himself free to tell what is not a reality. The Shia was opposed to accepting the successor to the Prophet who had been wrongly appointed. This is itself a political dimension.

This very policy and the reason for this policy resulted in the division; this division, in fact, stretches to the difference of belief in leadership. To make it short, a new belief came into existence against the belief of a divinely fixed or established Imamate. As a result, the real followers of Islam or the adherents to real Islam were cornered into taking the guise of a group or a party or a sect under the name of Shia to oppose the politics by listing and leaning to a particular quarter.

But why is this fact deliberately overlooked? The policy the Shia as a political group introduced after that undesired division for the administration of society was itself a real Islamic ideology. It is untrue to say that Shia lacked an ideology. They had one; this was a religion, a faith, a belief before it took a political tint. It was so rich that it provided shade to politics. Politicians were against this belief. So, their effort was to create a group so as to face the belief of Shia.

They gave to that adversary group a religion form. What was the most valuable treasure to them was the caliphate, which they had already snatched from its rightful owner and had diverted it in their own direction. In order to keep it they spent money, dissipated their tactics in creating terror among the people and purchasing the silence of those whose voice was a threat to them. To hold the administration of society in their hands as long as possible; this was the fundamental of their politics.

It is quite simple that a group by the name of Sunni would have never been invented had the Shia not opposed the point where they had departed from. The only element of opposition with Shiasm is the politics.
