Review:

Some people have probed into Islam superficially, they opined that Shi'ism has come into existence in the course of time due to certain political and social incidents.

Some people have attributed the foundation of Shi'ism to one person known as Abdullah bin Saba, while others have iterated that the political and social conditions during Imam Ali's regime provided the base for Shi'ism.

In our view, the aforesaid opinions revolve around the paucity of the Shias in the beginning of Islam, when Shi'ism had no distinctive form.
These researchers have fixed the abundance or paucity as a criterion in as much as they considered teh ways and pursuits of the majority as real, while that of the minority as temporary and secondary. Every sane person realises that this is not correct and against the nature of the visional and convictional divisions.

In this booklet we will discuss about Shi'ism and the Shias and will answer the following two questions in this context:
1. How Shi'ism became manifest?
2. How Shias came into existence?
