Shiite Salafism?

More about the book

Focusing on the 1930s and 1940s, this book explores the ideas of Shariat Sangelaji, a prominent figure in Imamiyya Shiite thought. He critically examines core theological beliefs, labeling concepts like shifaa intercession and pilgrimages to imams' graves as polytheistic and superstitious. Sangelaji also challenges the notion of the twelfth imam al-Mahdi's concealment since the 9th century and questions the resurrection of historical figures to aid him in a final confrontation against evil, offering a provocative perspective on Shiite theology.
