(Qur’an...

(Qur’an, Surah Anaam 6:161) And to show that the way that the Almighty Allah showed to them was the same way of the Shias even though their numbers be less and they may be less important in the view of people. This is the Shariat of Ibrahim and true monotheism.

That which proves this point is a traditional report that Thiqatul Islam Kulaini (r.a.) has mentioned in Rauda Kafi from His Eminence, Abu Ja’far Imam Baqir (as) that he said: No one from this Ummah followed the faith of Ibrahim (as) except us; no one from this Ummah was guided except through us and no one from this Ummah was misguided except for us (our opposition).[^7] This statement of His Eminence is an assurance to Shias and it is punctuated with oaths and other emphasizing points.

For example he says: “They are following their religion.” It denotes the blind faith of general Muslims and ‘they’ means their leaders of misguidance, may Allah curse them all, because it was a time of Taqayyah and occasion of Taqayyah.

But as to those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding in them; an entertainment from their Lord, and that which is with Allah is best for the righteous.
