IMAMS COMPANIONS

Abu al-Khattab

A deep dive into the figure of Abu al-Khattab, the Bab and trusted deputy of Imam al-Sadiq (as). 

In this eight-part series, I attempt to reconstruct and validate the beliefs and character of Abu al-Khattab through all possible angles. 

The first two parts are written in a technical manner, as they were intended to be a Q/A-style rebuttal. The reader who does not have familiarity with the subject matter may find them slightly difficult to read.

The remaining parts are written in a linear fashion and easy to follow through with.

Part 1 (Abu al-Khattab)

Part 2 (Nails in the Muqassir’s Coffin)

Part 3 (Examples of Batinism)

Part 4 (Identity of the Imam)

Part 5 (Follow the Babs)

Part 6 (The Walking Qurans)

Part 7 (The Accursed Babs)

Part 8 (Wilayah of Abu al-Khattab)

Al-Mufaddal ibn Umar

A defense and reconstruction of the character of Mufaddal ibn Umar, the successor Bab to Abu al-Khattab.

Part 1 (Bab of al-Sadiq)

Part 2 (Mufaddal Does Not Pray?)

Part 3 (Condemning Mufaddal)

Al-Shalmaghani

Part 1 (A Wayward Deputy?)

Part 2 (Truly a Safeer?)

Part 3 (Cursed in Dhahir and Batin?)

For the sake of organization & combining old information into new and more inclusive articles –

I have moved my older articles on Ismail ibn Ja’far into the Ismail section of my blog.
