The years 260-329/874-941, known among the Sh卯鈥榠tes as the period of Minor Occultation, comprised undoubtedly the most difficult and critical period in the history of Im芒mite Sh卯'ism. The death of the eleventh Imam, with no apparent successor, resulted in internal conflicts, many desertions and conversions, and the emergence of numerous splinter groups and subsects within the Im芒mite community. Contemporary Im芒mite theologians had the difficult task of defending the doctrine against attack while trying to offer new interpretations of fundamental principles to accommodate contemporary developments. Abu Jafar b. Qiba al-Razi, one of the most prominent and active Im芒mite theologians, had a major role in all of these reconstructions and developments. The present work attempts to shed light on some aspects of the Im芒mite doctrine during the Minor Occultation and on the contributions of Abu Jafar b. Qiba to the formation of the developed Im芒mite doctrine. The second part of this volume contains the texts of three short works of this scholar, together with their English translation.
This books forces the reader to think more and deeper in his/her beliefs. This book is talking about history of Shia and concept of Imam in the first three centuries of Islam. The book is originally written in English, but I read Farsi translation which is done by Mr. Hashem Izadpanah.
