The author debates, discusses and corrects the book “Islamic Messianism”
written by the respected scholar, Abdul Azeez Sachedina, which gives
erroneous impression to readers of the Real and Right Islam which
Shia’sm is, and enabling readers to analyse faith to mastership (Imamat)
and Mahdaiyyat (Mahdi).


Explanation to the Belief of Mahdism in Shi'a Imamia

17. Division of religious principle - Shia and the religion of Etezaal
======================================================================

The writer says that the founders of Imamate have split the faith of
Shia into five fundamentals; unity of God, Justice, prophet hood,
Imamate, and resurrection. How long can he persist in his prejudice or
demonstrate his ignorance? What we know is that all his studies have
gone with winds. In each nook he enters and comes out telling things
which were never there. He sees what is not and what he sees is not.

He wanders in the wilderness and avoids the rich shadows of huge trees
and the cool of fountains. He is a vagabond in the desert hit by the
sinister heat of the sun, fatigued, wearied, tired, and stricken by
thirst and hunger.

To guide such a traveler to rest and ease is not easy. ‘Founders of
Imamate’; what does he mean? ‘Founders of Islam’; if we were to say
would it not sound strange and senseless? If he is in search of founders
we point to God and the Prophet (S). The fundamentals, five in number,
mentioned by him are the real and basic owes. Every Muslim should have
faith in them. They are in line with reason. Among these fundamentals
the Justice of God and Imamate are ignored by the Sunni sect.

They do not believe in that. Among the Sunni sect there is a sect or a
group by the name of Ash’ari who strictly refuse these two pillars. To
make it plain and simple we should say that whatever the Shia believes
in whether it be the Justice of God or it be the Imamate, it is directly
taken from the Quran and immediately based on the Quran and at once
spoken by the Imams. We cannot understand as to why a link is given or a
relation is established with the Motazela sect.

This sect of Motazela or its faith Etezaal goes congruous with Shi’ism
only to the extent and length of what they have grasped and held in
their grip of the very Shia faith. As such “Al-Jabr Wal Tashbeeh Amawian
Wal Adl Wal Tauheed Alawian”, that is, the similitude of Bani Ummayah
and the justice and Oneness of God of the Alawies, forms a ground common
to them.

Here those writers who have not studied widely thus not gaining enough
information about Shiaism and the past of Shiaism have confused
themselves with the terms Motazela and Ash’aria. Although they have made
research in this respect and in spite of their research they still do
not know the religion of Sayyid Mortaza, the most renowned scholar of
the Shia sect, whom they suspect of being a Motazel because of his
disagreement with Ash’ari belief.
