PREFACE
1- In our era we witness a great deal of changesthat are caused by Islam, which is the greatest of the Divine Religions. It has obtained a new birth. Muslims have waken up and are returning to their origin. They are now seeking to remove their difficulties through the Islamic commandments, for not finding the solutions elsewhere.
As for the reason for the changes, one needs todiscuss it separately. It is now important to know thatthe traces of the great changes, are seen throughoutthe Islamic world, and also in the NON- Islamic countries! Now the world wants to know what doesIslam say? and what a new MESSAGE for the peoplemay it have? In such a critical condition, it is our duty
to present Islam as what it really is, and without anyembe llishment; by a clear cut and simple lan guage; in order to be understood by all, and to satisfy the thirst of those who need to know more about the religion.
We should speak it ourself, and not to let anybody else to speak for us, or to decide for us.
2- It can not be denied that, Islam Too, like theother important religions consists of different sects.
Each sect, has it's own peculiarities, and yet, the differences are not such as to prevent co- operations and joint ventures among the groups. On the contrary, they may protect themselves through such mutual aids and co- operations, and stand firmly against the storms that are blown from West and East, preventing their enemies to do their tricks, and accomplish their purposes.
To develope such a mutual undersanding andco- operation, needs to follow especial orders, the mostimportant of which is that; different sects should knoweach other well, so as to remove suspecions and pavethe path for collective actions.
The best way for the sects to know each other, is to
know the root and branches of their faith, and toobtain the knowledge by first hand, and from the well versed and the learned who are known and accepted by all among the sects. If we take our knowledge about a sect from him who is not aware enough; or from him who is an enemy, love and hatred will prevent truthful understanding.
3- Owing to the two above mentioned points, wehave decided to summarize the Islamic principles and commandments with our stress on some especialities of the SHIITE SECT; to provide a writing with the following qualifications:
A- That it may consist of a concise of the whole; soas to make the readers free of want of reading voluminous books.
B- That the discussions be clear cut, and void ofdifficult technical words used by the experts, without diminishing the main subjects.
C- That our main object is to mention the beliefsbut not to ignore giving reasons if necessary.
Our proofs are taken from the holy book, traditionsand wisdom.
D- That the book may be free of concealments, flatterous courtesies and pre- judgements.
E- That modesty and the rules of etiquette beobserved in relation to all religions and sects.
This pamphlet was written during my pilgrimage toMecca, in which the spirit has more purity and vivacity. It was discussed in several several with the scholarsand learned, and after much investigations it wasfinalized for publication.
We hope to reach the goals mentioned above andhave it a saving in the resurrection day.
" Our lord! We have heard the call of one calling us tofaith;"" Believe you in the lord." and we have believed.
Our lord! Forgive us our sins. blot out from us our iniquities, and take to thyself our souls in the company of the righteous.
