How did the Nizari faction split off from haqq? (English) - Majalis al Hikma

<p>In the previous Majalis, Syedna Fakhruddin TUS explained the cause of the Sunni Shi’a split (Majlis 47-49) and the split of the Zaydis in time of the fourth Imam, Mohammed al-Baqir SA (Majlis 50). He then addressed the split of the Isna-Ashari (Twelver Shi’a) faction following Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq SA (Majlis 51-52). In this Majlis he discusses the split after the 18th Imam al-Mustansir billah Amirul-Mumineen SA.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Some historians argued that Nizar was the eldest son of Mustansir Imam and so he must be the rightful heir. Others contend that Nizar was given the title _“waliyy ‘ahd- al-Muslimin”_, and that was an indication of his Imamate. Yet others say that Hasan al-Sabbah, a supporter of Nizar, claimed that Mustansir Imam personally told him while visiting Cairo that Nizar was his successor. How do our Hudaat break these arguments?</p> <p><br></p> <p>And how do our Hudaat establish the rightful Imamate of Musta’ly Imam? What indications did Mustansir Imam give upon his birth and his marriage?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Syedna TUS answers these questions in this Majlis, the 56th in the Majalis al Hikma series.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in Dawat ni Zabaan:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/GeI7Wze02L0</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in English:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/XYwIxCqVzQQ</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in Arabic:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/VWoOh4PwLT4</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>
