Negative consequences of the problem of mingling
The complications resulting from the prevalence of “the mingling ailment” pointed in brief are:
1. Misinterpreting the reality of divinity and Prophesy in the Shī‘ahs’ doctrine;
2. Misinterpreting the reality of the sharī‘ah and religious injunctions in the Shī‘ahs’ doctrine;
3. Misinterpreting the reality of the aims of the Shī‘ah’s school of thought;
4. Misinterpreting some Shī‘ah expressions;
5. Misinterpreting the reality of the Shī‘ah sources;
6. Misinterpreting the reality of the Imamate in the Shī‘ah doctrine;
7. Misinterpreting the reality of the Shī‘ah identity;
8. Misinterpreting the origin of the Shī‘ah school of thought.
These eight errors yield the greatest fallacy: misinterpreting the Shī‘ah peculiarities; resulting in mingling the Shī‘ah peculiarities with those of Extremism.
In order for the dear reader to be acquinted with the ominous consequences of these errors, he/she is to look at the two following pictures:
5. The Wahhābīs’ breaking away from the Sunnīs’ approach of treating the Shī‘ah 4. The Wahhābīs’ mode of thinking 3. Being unaware of the Imamiyyah’s position towards the Extremism and the extremists 2. Lack of knowledge of what the Shī‘ism means 1. Lack of knowledge of what the Ghulāt means Causes for the emergence of deviation among the Wahhābīs
The above diagram shows how the Wahhābīs can go astray through the five main factors.
