Description
Critical Questions, Wise Responses In the past two decades, the growth of takfiri groups has been increased in West Asia. These extremist groups, influenced by Wahhabism and Salafism, are seeking to promote and institutionalize violence in the region. These groups, by a strategic premeditation and/or by mistake, have changed the priority of fighting and apprising of Zionist regime crimes to takfir of noble trend of Shiism. Many of them, who call themselves sheikhs, by taking advantage of the ignorance of the laity, issue fatwas of killing Muslims in general and Shiites in particular. Meanwhile some by raising unfounded doubts over Shia principals provoke this wave of violence and attempt to institutionalize hate between Muslims. Therefore, in order to prevent the promotion of violence, it is obligatory on every compassionate Muslim to be sensitive and give appropriate answer and inform the masses of these dangerous methods. The content of this book which is in response to questions posed against the Twelver Shiite (Athna'ashariyyah) would be evaluated in this context. This book contains 70 of the most important questions and doubts along with its corresponding responses which are selected from the website of Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi. (www.makarem.ir) It is hoped that, this book would be use to researchers, teachers and Islamic scholars and be regarded a small step towards approximation of Islamic sects
