Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Victim Lost in Saqifah 1-4 Preface By: Ustad Sayyid Muhammad Dhiyabaadi for the First and Second Editions In His Exalted Name I have read this book with care and attention and found it a collection compiled with a motive emanated from an ardent belief in the fundamentals of Shia school, which is the only clear manifestation of Islam.
