11) Hadith (Tradition):

12) The Sunni Muslims:

The issue of the rightful succession of the prophet and the leadership of the Islamic Ummat (nation) after his death caused Muslims to branch off in two groups: The followers of Ali (A.S) and the Infallible Imams who considered the caliphate the exclusive right of Imam Ali (A.S) and his progeny and the group that did not believe so. The first group are named the Shia and the other group is termed the Sunni. The Sunni group is divided into four creeds: The Hanafi; the Shafeii; the Maleki and the Hanbali.

13) The Sahah-e-Sitta (The Six collections):

Sahah-e, plural for sahih, means right and correct and by Sahah-e-Sitta is meant the six correct volumes which the Sunni Ulema (religious learned men) selected from among the many volumes of ahadith (traditions, narratives) and designated them as the base and source from which to deduce religious laws, tenets, commands, interpretations and a part of the history of the earlier days of Islam. These volumes are:

a) The Sahih-e Bukhari, compiled by Muhammad ibn Ismail Bukhari, born 196, a.h (812 ad.); died: 256, a.h (864 ad.).
b) The Sahih-e-Muslim, compiled by Muslim ibn Hajjaj Neishaburi, better known as Qushiri, 206-262 ah - (821-876 ad)
c) The Sunan-e lbn Majja compiled by Muhammad ibn Yazid ibn Majja, 273

a.h 886 ad. (date of death).

14) Hazrat Ali (A.S):

Ali (A.S), the first Imam of Shiite Muslims, was born 600 ad. to Fatemeh and Abutaleb (latter is the paternal uncle of the Prophet (S-A.W). Ali (A.S) grew up in the house of the Prophet since the age of 6. He was the first male person to accept Islam and pledge himself to assist the Prophet (S.A.W). Early in his prophetic mission when, by command of Allah, the Prophet (S.A.W) called his own kin to Islam, he announced at a gathering of them: "The first among you to believe and accept my faith shall succeed me!' He repeated this sentence three times and each time Ali was the only person who professed his faith. On the night of migration or Hijrat (of the Prophet from Mecca to Medina), Ali betook himself into the Prophet's bed and slept there (the Quraish had plotted to terrorise the Prophet that night) and thus demonstrated his fidelity to him. The Prophet (S.A.W) adopted Ali as his own brother and, on return from his last Hajj pilgrimage, at a place called Ghadir, the Prophet (S-A.W) publicly declared Ali (A.S) as the guardian of the Muslims and Administrator of their affairs. Ali (A.S) was a companion of the Prophet in his lonely days and his aide in hardships and dangers. For a period of 25 years immediately after the Prophet's demise, Ali (A.S) remained aside, for some reasons, of government administration and leadership. During this entire period Ali (A.S) had assumed the status of an observer whose presence averted deviation and perversion. After the third Caliph was killed, the Sehaba or companions and a number of other people swore allegiance to Ali (A.S) and selected him as their Caliph. Imam Ali (A.S) administered the affairs of the Islamic world for nearly four years and nine months. He restored the changes that had occurred after the Prophet (S-A.W) to their pristine state. Opposition agents, whose interests were threatened, rose on every side and, pretending to avenge the blood of the 3rd Caliph, set off internal bloody wars that lasted during the entire period of Ali (A.S)'s rule, until, finally, they martyred this unique man of history after the Prophet, by the altar where he was saying prayers. It is extremely difficult to talk of Ali (A.S)'s personality in a worthy manner. He had dedicated his entire life to God's religion and was not remiss in this for the slightest moment. In his modest home children such as Hassan and Hossein (A.S) and Zainab (A.S) were reared, persons who left deep imprints on the course of history and who, as leader and mentor of seekers of truth carried, on their backs, the shining torch of humanism through the darkness of times.

15) Kashf-e Tomm-e Muhammadi:

Kashf-e tomm-e muhammadi means revelation, of the entire Quranic truths to Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W). Thus, the kashf-e tomm-e is a descending stage of the holy Book during which the Quran has been revealed to the heart of the Prophet. This station of revelation of Quranic truths is not by rational or intellectual reasoning, it is by insight and intuition; it is oracular not visual observation. For this reason the truths of the Quran are comprehensible only to the Prophet and perfect revelation and absolute perception belong to him exclusively.

16) Validah-e Eimul-Asmae:

Validah means offspring or issue and Eimul Asmae is a kind of knowledge and gnosis that is only within man's ability to learn. With this definition, the Validah Elmul-asmae is a child of Elmul-asmae, by which is meant human. Almighty God has conferred the Elmul-asmae on man so that this creature may acquire worthiness for being Caliph on earth. Man would not have achieved this worth had not God taught him such knowledge.

17) The Ma`soomin:

Ma`soomin is the plural of Maasoom which means one of whom sin has been withheld and, has not committed a sin all his life. Ismat or infallibility is regarded as an exclusive characteristic of the prophets in the religious teachings. It means immunity to error and sin and this imparts the utmost reliability to Those who are infallible. By Ma`soomin mentioned (in the Imam's win) is meant the Prophet (S.A.W) and his Household.

20) Wahhabism:

The doctrine and creed of Wahhabism was formulated by Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab Najdi (toward the end of 12th and early days of 13th century, ah.1 and is ascribed to British colonialism. The adherents to Wahhabism are of the opinion that all Islamic denominations, including the Sunnis and Shia groups, are idle worshipers. They regard the showing of respect and reverence toward to shrine of the Prophet (S.A.W) and Infallible Imams a kind of heresy and paganism. Supported by Muslim wealth, the Wahhabis are active in cultural propaganda and they are instruments for implementation of the destructive plans of the super powers.
