The Imamah of the Shi’ah: A Hidden Call for the Continuation of Prophethood is a scholarly critique of one of Shi’ism’s central doctrines—the belief in the divine and infallible Imamate. Written by the ex-Shi’ah scholar Shaykh Abd al-Malik al-Shafi’i, this work argues that the Shi’ah concept of Imamah undermines the Qur’anic principle of the Khatm al-Nubuwwah (Finality of Prophethood), effectively serving as a concealed call to extend revelation beyond the Prophet Muhammad salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Drawing on both classical and contemporary Shi’i sources, the author exposes the internal contradictions within Shiite theology and demonstrates how their concept of Imamate parallels the heretical claims of the Qadiyani movement. Through reasoned analysis and textual evidence, the author shows that the Shi’i elevation of the Imams to divine status opens the door to new forms of “prophethood” that Islam definitively closed. A compelling study for readers interested in theology and the preservation of Islamic orthodoxy, this book offers a powerful defence of the Qur’anic doctrine that Muhammad salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam is the final Messenger, and that revelation—and authority—ended with him.
