A Critique of the Hypothesis of Evolution in Shii Imamate Study of References Made in Maktab dar Farayand Takamol (School in the Process of Evolution), Section concerning Imamate of Imam Muhammad Baqer (PBUH)

In the present writing, a section of Maktab dar Farayand Takamol (School in the Process of Evolution) will be discussed. The subject of this section is a historical analysis of “Shi’is’ opinion concerning necessity of armed revolt by Imams (PBUT)” and some aspects of “belief in Mahdism in the Shi’’i socity”; and, finally the impacts exerted by these points in evolution of “Shi’is’ Imamology” has been concluded (or indirectly induced). In the present writing, points such as non-correspondence between arguments posed and claims made in the book will be studied; through rereading pieces of evidence provided in the footnotes of a section of the book (pp. 33-43 concerning Imamate of Imam Muhammad Baqer (PBUH)), it will be shown that these pieces of evidence do not justify the claims posed in the book. Then, all methodological errors in putting the book in writing will be separately discussed.
