The appearance of Shiites and Qadianism


395

Q: When did Shi`ah (Shi'ites) and Qadianiyyah beliefs appear?


A: Supporting Ahl-ul-Bayt (members of the Prophet's extended Muslim family) began during the Caliphate of `Aly (may Allah be pleased with him). He denounced them for this, and burned a group of them who claimed him to be an Ilah (God). As for the Qadianiyyah, they appeared at the end of the thirteenth century.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
