Why Shi'aism is named Jafri Religion?
For the sake of the propagation of the Shiite constitution in the shadow of the knowledge, political sacrifices, and devotion, the Shiite school was attributed to him and this religion was named as the Jafri religion. We belong to the Jafri religion and take pride in this name. The message of the true Islam of Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) can be sought in the blood of Imam Hussain (AS) and its explanation and description in the teachings of Imam Jafar as Sadiq (AS).
Jafri Islam is the same one, on the way of which Imam Ali (AS) fought holy war (Jehad) and Imam Hassan (AS) made truce and Imam Hussain (AS) gave his blood (life). Imam Sajjad (AS) put on the dress of prisoner ship and Bibi Zainab (SA) became the messenger of the blood of martyrs. Holy Prophet Muhammad's (SAW) daughter Hazrat Fatima Zahra (SA) raised her voice in the mosque of her father over the cruelties and tyranny, which were committed on her.
If Islam were the one in which the rulers seated themselves upon snatched usurped chairs and enrage and unpleased Hazrat Fatima Zahra (SA) and made Imam Ali (AS) sit at home, we admit that we will not submit to such Islam. From the logical point of view of the informed, faithful and scholars devoted to the family of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the Islam wherein the family of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) be suspended will be the same Islam whose custodians were the rulers like Muawiyah, Yazeed and Muttawakils.
The red history of Shiaism of Imam Ali (AS) proved that whosoever accepted the Islam minus the family of Imam Ali (AS) and struggled on its way did reach no where and was finally rendered despicable and helpless and at last turned into the tool of the hands of imperialists of the history.
