The author begins by explaining the core faith and beliefs of the Shia community. He then provides short historical notes on the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his prophethood, migration, and major struggles, including battles fought against idolaters. The book highlights the efforts of the Prophet (PBUH) to establish and stabilize Islam in Makkah and beyond, presenting these events from a Shia historical viewpoint.
A significant portion of the book discusses historical differences between the Shia and Sunni schools of thought. The compiler refers to events recorded in Shia sources and offers his reasoning to explain them as historical facts, also presenting arguments based on human nature and rational understanding. In addition, the book includes information about the Imams from the family of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), outlining their role and significance in Shia belief.
In the concluding remarks, the author emphasizes unity among Muslims. He states that the beliefs described in the book are not harmful to other Muslims and questions why divisions should persist. The message encourages readers to focus on unity, purity, and truthfulness within the broader Muslim community.
Hamarey Aqaid aur Hamari Tarikh serves as an introductory guide for those who want to learn about Shia beliefs, their historical interpretation, and the perspective of the Imams. Another notable work by the same author is “Siyasat Nama e Shaam,” which further explores related historical themes.
