SALIENT FEATURES OF SHIA

AU tne Snia quotation in this booklet have the following salient fea tures whichleaves NO room for fabrication on OUT ~ide;-

(1) From authentic Shia sources:{2)all words inbrackets in quotations are:NOT mine BL'T Shia expert translators;

{3) all books quoted from are printed in Iran;

{ot) all books quoted are approved by Shla surhorlres;

{5) from originals translated by SHrA trauslarors,

(6) books which have NOT up 10 date been rerracied or denied by the Present

Shias:(7) the views are of Khomeni and his entire Shia clergy;(3) all books printed after the Revolution;

I f w e s ys tema ( Leal a rran ge b el ief an d rh e b rief his to ry o f th e Qu r aa n a s r ec or de d by

Shia authoritles, then as to where is the Shia Quraan comes forth as clear as daylight.

To summarise the events and results we: arrive at the following; - SEQUENCE::~

( I ) S pedal private meeti ngs of Hazrat A li (R..'\, 1 wi th R asu l (s allallah u alay hiwasallam);

(2) Passing away of Rasul (sallallahu ;J\ayhi wasallarn), collecting of the "Quraan"

by Hazrat Ali (R.A.) while Sahabab (R.A.) where usurping his right,(3) Thereafter Hazrat Ali (R.ll. ,J bringing {he "Quraan" to the people and it>rejection, and the present Quraan compi led without his consularion,

(4) Hazrat Ali (R.A.) i s the f irst of the 12 Shia Imams;

(5) The "Quraan" has to be wlth 1I CCSTODIA* the IMAMS are the

CUSTODIANS:(6) The "Quraan" is with the l .i \.1AMS;(7) The: l Z th Imam is IIImajor occulation (hiding), he has the Quraan, he will come

some day to fill the world with justice.

Thus the following hdiids,

(1 ) rh e tld ir;f o f l 1 ; 1 e i n f e r i o r St~tl,J~ o r t he Q u ra an ,(l) the present Quraan isKOT ccmpleret

(3) belief of Taqiyya, (dissimulation, holy deception) allows present attitude

PllOTO OFORIGINAL

The occultation of the twelfth Imam is. therefore. divided into

two parts: the fin-st. trw minor occultation (;;itaybal.i $ugh. ra )which began in 260/872 and ended in 329/93B,lRsting about seventy

years ; the second, the major occultation which commenced in

329{B39 and will continue as long as Go d wills it.

Thus the Shia belief is that.

(1) the I Zth Imam h ad a m in or o ccu latio n (hiding);(2) a m ajo r cccularion (hiding) has smiled;(3) he is srill in hiding, waiting: to appear l. . . ."r?

TAQIYYAH (holy hypocrisy; dissimulation): QUOTATION A2

The question arises mar \~'HY do the Shias still print, publish, distribute sell,

verbally accept the present Quran and even enter Q~raat competition etc? The

answer is very easy. The Shias be lieve and actually practise in TAQIYYAH (holy

hypocrisyj-to internally believe in one thing and verbally, externally state and

disp lay the, OPPOSITE, This is an intergra l pan of the ShL;iIFaith and reaps

tremendous SAWAB. Taqiyyah is the corner-stone of the Shia rcltgLon. That is

WHYthey

can sav the Quranis authentic

Taqiyyah allows a Sh ia to CHEA T, D ECE rVE, BEFOO L, 13ETRA Y OR HARMa non-Shia, particularly and for this. HE WILL BE REWARDED. ByTaqiyyah, aShia can pretend to be a Sunni, can even refute the BASIC BELIEFS of hi,
