Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Victim Lost in Saqifah 1-4 Beginning of Discussion Awareness of Basics of Intellectual Movement – Research Towards Creating Islamic Unity By the efforts of Shaykh Muhammad Taqi Qummi an institute, Darul Taqreeb, was founded in Egypt in recent years. It can be considered a starting point of this movement. [1] We pursue the movements – scientific, intellectual and those of research since then. We come across irregular and contradictory views and outlooks.

Taking into consideration originality and purity of thought, they can be classified into two categories. First Tendency: Outlooks which desire to create ability and achieve Islamic unity. However they ignore to maintain the rule of originality and purity. They believe: “We must not immediately pass judgment that this is right and that, wrong. We must rather control and check differences.

We should specify its limits.” [2] “We do not say this is right and that is wrong…” [3] “It should not be the concern of one who calls for unity among religions to say which one is right and which wrong or which one is correct and which erroneous. Of course deviation from Islam can serve a reason for him to put in a word as was the practice with men of sagacity like Sayyid Jamaluddin and some of his pupils and fellow thinkers.

We have witnessed the climax of such an invitation launched by JAMA’ATUL TAQREEB BAIN AL-MAZAHAB AL-ISLAMIA (i.e. Society for Reconciliation of Islamic Sects). We must point out that the two obligations should not be combined. One: Invitation towards unity and two: protection or support to religion. Books and articles written in this regard have little to do with unity. Generally their motive is to prove their religion is right while the others’ is wrong.

They add to confusion [1] The thought of nearness among Muslims and an invitation to it took ground in Egypt by the proposal of Sheikh Muhammad Taqi Qummi. The scholars of first category of al-Azhar besides Shia head of clergies. The late Burujardi supported the idea. A great number of writers joined the movement.
