How and when did the Zaydis split off? (English) - Majalis al Hikma

<p>In the previous three Majalis, Syedna Fakhruddin TUS explained the cause of the Sunni Shi’a split. The next major split occurred in the time of Imam Mohammed al-Baqir SA, the fourth Imam, when the Zaydis split off. They believed in the imamate of Zayd, a son of Imam Ali Zainul Aabedin SA and brother to Imam Mohammed al-Baqir SA.</p> <p><br></p> <p>What was the source of disagreement and discord between Zayd and Imam Mohammed al-Baqir SA? Why did it lead to a split?</p> <p><br></p> <p>The Zaydis believe that an Imam must have three qualifications: 1) he must be a descendant of the Prophet, 2) he should unsheathe his sword and claim his right, and 3) he should have knowledge.</p> <p><br></p> <p>What are the arguments of our Hudaat Kiraam against the core beliefs of the Zaydis? How do they establish the rightful Imamate of Mohammed al-Baqir Imam SA and his descendants?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Syedna TUS answers these questions in this Majlis, the 50th in the Majalis al-Hikma series.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in Dawat ni Zabaan:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/OjUgMNEUwDI</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in English:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/7T863R9twS8</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in Arabic:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/mIRLC90xdyo</p> <p><br></p> <p>Listen to audio podcast:</p> <p>https://anchor.fm/fatemidawat</p> <p><br></p> <p>Questions can be asked by email to info@fatemidawat.com</p> <p><br></p> <p>The next majlis will, Inshaallah, be published next Thursday.</p>
