Size: 8.5" x 11" - Pages: 295 - Paperback

This book simply attempts to answer some questions that are most often asked 
about Islam by Muslims regarding their own beliefs and practices. This manuscript is 
written to remove some misconceptions that are promoted in the media. 
To remove misconceptions, references from Sunni books are being used to answer 
questions regarding Shī’ah beliefs and practices. This book has 295 pages, and about 
130 pages contain attached original documents from Sunni Sources (Ahādīth, Tafsīr 
and Tārīkh).
Key aims of this publication:
• To remove misconceptions about the Shī’ah School of Thought, for the sake of 
interfaith and intra-faith harmony, as well as to promote social and peaceful coexistence. 
• To differentiate information based on facts from the misinformation. 
This book also briefly answers questions such as:
• Why can’t we see God “physically”?
• Why do we need Prophets to guide humanity?
• Who are the Ahl-al Bayt (‘a)? 
• Who are the Twelve Imāms? Did Prophet Muhammad (S) say anything about the 
Twelve Imāms (’a)?
• Who are the Shī’ah Muslims? Why do they follow Imām ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (‘a) after 
the Prophet (S)? Did the Prophet (S) tell the Ummah to do that?
• Why do the Shī’ah Muslims commemorate the martyrdom of Imāms Husayn (’a)? 
Is there any evidence for that from the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (S)?
• Who is Imām Mahdi (‘a)? Did Prophet Muhammad (S) say anything about Imām 
Mahdi (‘a)? Will Imām Mahdi (‘a) be with Jesus (‘a) when Jesus (’a) returns?
• What are the common grounds between the Shī’ah Muslims and the Sunni 
Muslims?
