Dynamism and viability of Shiʹism

Shiʹism, according to the writer, is an ideological-pragatic current with an organized and continual leasdership. The writer then mentions the reasons that have proved to be the secrets of survival of Shiʹism. These include: Imamat and velayat, diversity of approaches and unity of principles, knowledge of the Imams and ejtihad, and the related issues. The writer also refers to other dynamic dimensions of Shiʹism, including taqiyeh, Ramazan, Ashoora, the principle of waiting (for the rise of the 12th Imam), which requires constant preparedness. To prove his claims, the writer has tried to present evidence from the Qurʹan as far as possible.
