The dominant majority of Shias belong to this sect; theyrecognize 12 Imams. About the last Imam (Mohammad) of this chain theybelieve that he is alive and hidden in a cave in Iraq. He will reappear nearthe Day of Judgment and establish his just rule all over the whole world. (Heis also called Imam Mehdi.)Staunch Sects of ShiasAll Shia sects believe that the Imam is appointed by God and their hiddenImam will return. However, the beliefs of some staunch Shia sects arebased on exaggerations. For example, one sect, Khurrum Deenia,considered the Imam as God, prophet and angel. It did not believe in theDay of Judgment and denied any accountability of one’s deeds to God. Thissect believed in the concept of ‘The Return of the Imam’.This sect also believed in reincarnation which they called raja [transfer ofthe human spirit (in this world) from one body to another body]. Certainstaunch sects believed that our prophet and other prophets will return toearth near the Day of Judgment and all will recognise the prophet-hood ofMohammad. Similarly, Ali will also return to earth and will assassinateMoawiyya and his descendants.The founder of Khattabia sect, Abu Khattabia used to call Imam Jafar SadeqGod and himself his prophet.Whenever some Imams denied and opposed such beliefs, these peoplesaid that they are saying this because of taqiyya, otherwise they supportour beliefs. (Earlier we explained the meaning of taqiyya which is a beliefcommon to all Shia sects.) Khattabia also believed that in every age thereare two prophets: natiq (one who speaks) and samit (who remains silent).Mohammad (PBUH) was a natiq prophet whie Ali was a samit prophet.Beliefs of some staunch sect were so deplorable that we abhor even at______________________________________________________________What happened to Islam after Umar?

Theirtask was to hatch conspiracies against the incumbent government.Obviously, it was a Sunni government whether it was the Umayyads or theAbbasids. When they were unsuccessful in their conspiring, they willconsole their followers by saying, “Don’t worry. In the final days (near theDay of Judgment) the Hidden Imam will appear and establish a Shiagovernment.These staunch sects emerged and disappeared at different historicalmoments and now we find their foot prints only at certain places but theyhave no significance. Only two Shia sects were of historical importancewhich are still present today – they are Ismaelia (Agha Khani Khojas andBohris) and Imamia (Asna Ashri) who are in the majority.Let us now discuss beliefs of these two sects.Ismaeli beliefsIsmaelis always kept their beliefs and teachings strictly secret and it wasvery difficult to say anything about them with certainty. (The real name ofthis sect is Batnia or hidden) Sometimes back one of this sect’s researcher,Dr. Zahid Ali (former Arabic Professor and Vice Principle of Nizam CollegeHyderabad Deccan) took the courage to publish a book based on his sect’sauthentic (secret) books and documents. The title of his book is HamaareyIsmaeeli Mazhab ki Haqeeqat aur iska Nizaam (‘The Reality of Our IsmaeliReligion and its System’).We are reproducing here excerpts from the 1954 edition of this book. Aboutthe foundation and teachings of this sect, he writes:“The founder of this sect was Haimoon Qaddah of Iranian origin(he has already been mentioned within the context of theFatimide) or his son Syed Abdullah.
