\n Importance and Examples of Taqayyah (Dissimulation) \n In depth understanding of \u2018Taqayyah\u2019 (dissimulation) is important for one to know when and where to practice it and under what conditions one must abandon it.

Also to counter the unjust accusations of \u2018Nasabis\u2019 [4] about Shias regarding its validity, since Nasabis have been killing Shias when and where they find an opportunity \u2013 foundation of which was laid down during the time of Bani Umayyad and Bani Abbas and it continued since then. Shias, therefore, would not exist today if their forefathers had not observed Taqayyah \u2013 even today hundreds of them are martyred when Nasabis find them under vulnerable conditions.

\n Those Shias who are living in more secure regions, i.e., Western countries, somewhat ignore its principles and liberally violate its sanctity which increases the hostility of Nasabis against those Shias who live in more hostile environments and insecure regions, i.e., Asia and Africa.

\n To address this, an attempt is made to provide further information in the light of traditions of Masomeen -asws to answer some of the questions pertinent to Taqayyah and its significance, e.g., where it becomes obligatory and where it becomes void? How importance it is in the protection and propagation of faith, by citing some examples of its practice from the holy Quran (from previous Prophets -as ) as well as the traditions of Masomeen -asws and their -asws followers.
