When a Muslim contemplates on the lives of the great luminaries of our Ummah, the innumerable virtues of these magnificent people come to mind. One of the most salient virtues of these heroes, however, is their personal sacrifice in the defense of Islam. The great Imams from the Ahl al-Bayt were no different, and examples of their bravery and heroism fill the pages of history books. It should then come as a shock to any Muslim that the Imāmiyyah (Twelver) Shia, who claim to be the followers of these great Imams, attribute some of the most vile displays of cowardice to these descendants of Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam!
In this book, we will see how the Shia, in an attempt to justify their belief in Taqiyyah, depict the Imams cowering before the Sunni authorities of the time, while at the same time, other Shia narrations depict these Imams as having ultimate cosmic authority over all of creation. Why then, would these all-powerful superheroes have to alter their Islam at the behest of the Sunni rulers? The Shia answer: To practice Taqiyyah!
In this short work, the author exposes the contradictory image the Shia have conjured up about the Imams, in their most relied-upon hadith collections and in the words of their most revered scholars.
