Shiite Salafism?

More about the book

Focusing on the 1930s and 1940s, the book delves into the controversial ideas emerging within Imamiyya Shiite thought, particularly through the lens of Shariat Sangelaji. He vehemently critiques core theological beliefs, labeling practices like shifaa intercession and pilgrimages to Shiite imams' graves as polytheistic and superstitious. Additionally, Sangelaji challenges the notion of the twelfth imam, al-Mahdi, living in concealment since the 9th century and the belief in historical figures being resurrected to aid him in a final confrontation against evil.
