Hasan:There are no such things as theories! With a little thinking, they appear to be unacceptable.
Anwar:Will you please mention them in brief?
Hasan:These are some of the theories.
First theory:Shi’ism was originated after the death of the Prophet (PBUH); this is rejected because we have already given evidence that Shi’ism existed during the life of the Prophet (PBUH).
Second theory:Shi’ism was originated during the reign of Othman Bin Affan; this is also rejected.
Third theory:The origin of Shi’ism goes back to the tragic incidents of Al-Taf and the martyrdom of Imam Al-Husain (PBUH).
Fourth theory:Shi’ism has Persian origins.
Fifth theory:Shi’ism was originated during the life of Imam Al-Sadiq; there are still more of these so-called theories and they are wholly rejected.
Anwar:Excellent job! You seem you would want to say something.
Hasan:I would like to end our discussion with these following points:
· This teaching of Ahl Al-Bait (PBUT) was established during the time of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and by the Prophet (PBUH) himself unlike other created teachings.
· This teaching is open for everyone as there is neither ambiguity nor illusion in it.
· We have to separate between the teaching and its followers so that the wrongdoings of some people would not be considered part of the teaching; this is totally unfair.
· If anyone wants to judge this teaching of Ahl Al-Bait (PBUT), they have to read carefully about it and then judge it against the Noble Quran, the true rubric of a prophet (Sunna) and the true Islam to see how close they match up.
· We invite all open and free intellectuals to come to know about our teaching in order to have open and free debates with our true religious scholars before they pass any judgments.
· I also invite you, Anwar, to carefully contemplate on our discussions so you can be able to justly and fairly judge our teaching.
Anwar:Thank you very much indeed for your efforts and for the practical and the scholarly discussions we have had; I am so proud to be one of the true believers.
