The actual advent of islam in the era of ignorance (prior to Islam) occurred when people accepted and acknowledged the Imamate of the prophet. Imamate was the safeguard and fortress for authorities and followers of Islam. Shiaism evolved and mutated based on the very principle of Imamate. Thus, the yardstick for differentiation between the mainstrem shia movements was their background and beliefs in Imamate principle. Imamate was the very first issue that captured the attention of Muslims. Ibn Abbas was the first and foremost influential Shia figure among the Abbasids. He ranks among the very few ones presiding over all events and ideological streams of the first century. During his lifetime, contemporary to four Imams, he endeavoured to be an influential, active Shia figure. However, His children, stand in sharp contrast to him. First of all, they distanced themselves from Shia beliefs to accompany political version of Shiaism and to usurp power. When they were on the verge of wresting power they seperated themselves further from Shia virtues and turn their backs to themt. They went astray and deteriorated in their ideological viewpoints to the point of opposing Imams later in their lives.

Dissociation and distancing of Muslims from non-believers is a Quranic and intra-religious term denoting heartfelt seperation in deeds and beliefs from non-believers , their actions and ideologies. According to Divine revelations, the epitome of a wronged one is a person who is the enemy of Almighty Allah and denier of the principles of prophethood. Although dissociation and distancing are not perfectly in line with terms such as cursing, insulting, enmity and prejudice, all these terms might be regarded as actual manifestations of this principle. In the divine literature, in addition to the denotations in meaning, dissociation might encompass an ideological or theological distancing which according to its intensity takes different manifestations in the heart, tongue and actions of believers. The yardstick of dissociation is enmity towards the enemies of Almighty Allah. In addition to this criteria laid down through divine revelations, countless quotes and hadiths by Imams added other criteria namely enmity towards the enemies of Ahl-ul-Beit and standing against them. The totality of hadiths and quotes clearly testify to the fact that without proper dissociation form non-believers and enemies of Ahl ul Beit , firm belief is never formed in the heart of a Muslim. This paper aims to explore dissociation form the viewpoint of verses and hadiths and define the yardsticks of dissociation.

Imam Hasan’s reconciliation with Movie in the year 40 is a defining moment in the early history of Islam. This event changed the structure of Islamic governments from caliphate to monarchy. Therefore, historians and hadith scholars have placed this issue at the center of their attention and investigated the reasons behind it from the perspective of their own religious or political stances. The current paper first studies the philosophy of this reconciliation up to the seventh century with reference to Sunni and Shia writings. It then takes a critical analytical stance toward narratives and historical accounts. Finally, the current research concludes that Shia and Sunni scholars looked at this reconciliation from different perspectives and offered differing analyses and reasons. The current article finds that both Shia and Sunni scholars concur that Imam Hasan’s reconciliation emenated from Imam’s decision to protect the interests of Muslims. However, sunni and Shia historians single out different backgrounds for this major decision

Speech act proposed by Austin and Searle is a groundbreaking theory in pragmatics. This theory shows how language is used to do things or perform acts. It looks at language use in contexts and seeks to reveal implied meanings and implicatures, enabling scholars to provide a more comprehensive and thorough analysis of texts. According to speech act theory, human beings do not just employ words and grammatical structures of language to convey meanings to each other, they perform certain acts through speech. The current study aims to explore and analyze the speech acts present in Ghadir Hadith according to the speech act theory. The findings show that multiple speech acts are tapped on to convey the main message of Ghadir speech made by the holy prophet. In declarative speech acts, after the successful employment of declarative verb, a new situation emerges and Imam Ali is appinted as the successor of the holy prophet. Also, in directive speech acts, the addressee is requested to shoulder his divine responsibilities vis-à-vis the rightousness of Imam Ali as the successor of Holy Prophet. In representative/assertive acts, the actual reality about succession of prophet is made manifest in the speech of prophet and attempt is made to exhibit its rightness. In commissive acts, the prophet sees himself committed to convey the divine decree about Imam Ali’s succession. In expressive acts, prophet portrays the elevated status of Imam Ali and conveys his emotions by the use of expressive domains of language and expressive speech acts. Withdueregard to situational/contextual factors and speech acts used in Ghadir hadith, the addresser sought to introduce his successor by directing the addressees, asserting his virtues and reminding the addressees of his noble qualities. The addresser in Ghadir hadith sought to share his line of reasoning and thoughts with the addressees and call upon them to swear allegiance to Imam Ali. The current paper concludes that through gaining metalinguistic awareness of elements in Ghadir speech and by tapping on the functions of language, Muslims can gain a deeper understaning of the hidden semantic layers and unveil the shrouds about subtle facts.

The disseting movement was initially formed to metamorphosize the political, social and cultural structure of Islamic governence. the current study focuses on the dissenting movement that sought to achieve such aims. The axis of evil in the dissenting movement was a group of Meccan hypocrites that were referred to as “those sick in heart” by the holy revelations in Qoran. The philosophy of their existence was to wrest the enormous power of Islam. after the appointment of prophet’s successor in the first years of prophethood, the dissenting movement saw itself unable to further their materialistic and political purposes. As a result, they began to conspire and design malicious schemes to derail the Islamic government and usurp power. They finally managed to fulfill their initial purpose when the successor of prophet was appointed by them in Saghife mosque.

In some Wahabi writings, the fact that some Shias attribute prophethood to Imams is blamed on the followers of Imamie movement. This very act is indeed paving the ground to regard Shias as strayed and excommunicate them. The central question addressed by the current research is: on what grounds do Wahabis regard Shias as having such distorted beliefs? Attributing prophethood to Imams is an exaggration of the elevated status of Imams. Some people claim that Imams have the status of prophethood in addition to being Imams. This belief runs counter to the central belief of Islam which states prophet of Islam is the very last messenger sent by Almighty Allah towards mankind. yet it is another perfect pretext for Wahhabis to deem Shias as strayed from religion. To present the answer, the current research first explores the essential difference between Imams and prophets in terms of their character and being in both Shia and Wahabi ideology. It then looks at the background of attributing prophethood to Imams and the existence of exaggration in Shia ideology in describing Imams. After a deep probation of their writings, It is concluded that Wahabi line of resoning is obsolete, false, erroneous or maybe just a prapaganda.

The method of sermon is one of the effective communication techniques that had been used by the Prophet Muhammad proportionate to time and place. This effective propaganda method is very sensitive in Ghadir Day and aftermath of the revelation of verse 67 of Ma'idah Surah and suggests that the words of the Prophet (pbh), according to Quran verses, are not based on personal desires. Ghadir's sermon is one of the most valuable religious texts formed in a particular context and containing a collection of news, orders, deceits, exhortations and warnings. The aim of this study has been identification and analysis of speech actions in Ghadir sermon. The research methodology is descriptive-analytical and mostly based on Searl's speech act theory that based on the most important speech actions in this theory, the text of Ghadir sermon has been analyzed. The results of the analysis show that the proclamations, declarations, expressive, emotional and accrual actions have the most application in this sermon, respectively. Considering the situational texture of the sermon and the frequency of the actions of it, the speaker sought to declare the successor by encouraging the audience, commenting on and describing the characteristics of Imam Ali (as), and by defining and admiring his virtues, share his mentality with the audience to make the audience commit allegiance to Imam Ali(as).
