This book, which is written by a well known scholar, a graduate of
the Sorbonne, who switched from one Muslim school of thought to
another, attempts to prove that the Muslims who truly follow the
authentic Sunnah of the Prophet of Islam are actually none other
than those referred to as the Shias. It details how these Shias (or
Shiites) learn this Sunnah from the closest people to the Prophet
of Islam: his immediate family members. It traces the history of
the Muslims of the first Islamic century and how they split into
two camps, thus setting the foundations for both of these major
sects. It also deals with the persecution to which the immediate
family members of the Prophet of Islam were subjected and the
politicians who played a major role in widening the gap between the
followers of this sect and those of that. As for its style, the
author restricts himself to quoting major authentic Sunni works to
prove his point, relying on an in-depth study of the Islamic
history in general and of that of the first century in particular.
Many controversial themes are discussed in this book, including
that of the infallibility of the Prophet of Islam and of the Twelve
Imams who descended from Ali and Fatima, cousin and daughter of the
Prophet respectively. Finally, the book concludes with an Appendix
containing an Arabic poem in one thousand lines in praise of
Commander of the Faithful Ali composed by an Iraqi poet for the
Arabic speaking readers.
