A Study of the View of Muslim (Shia and Sunni) Historians to the Salafi Thought System from the Fourth to the Eighth Century AH

Salafis are people who have tried to make other Muslims look down on the Shiites by slandering the Shiites.Not only do they consider the Shiites outside the religion of Islam, but they also accuse the Shiites of distorting the Holy Quran and the Book of God. Muslim historians, scholars, and Islamic thinkers have left many books, articles, and works in the words of the Salafis, especially Ibn Taymiyyah and his students.This article tries to expose the accusations of Salafis against Shiism and also examines the views of historians, thinkers, Islamic scholars and Muslim scholars (Shia and Sunni) in the Salafi approach to the three principles of religion, monotheism, prophecy and imamate.The main issue is what are the opinions and thoughts of Muslim scholars and thinkers on the principles of monotheism, prophethood and Imamate with a Salafi approach? This research is a descriptive-analytical method.But what the author intends is to rely on the views and ideas of Shiite and Sunni Muslim historians in the Salafi approach to monotheism, prophecy and Imamate.
