Rayyan al-Mutarjim

The Shia Foretold by the Prophet presents a Sunni perspective on the rise of Shi'ism and the debates that followed. Drawing on classical sources, the book examines reports about a faction foretold in early narrations, then reviews Shia doctrines-mut'ah (temporary marriage), scriptural claims, the Twelver idea of the hidden Mahdi-and contrasts them with Sunni understandings. Alongside critique, the work affirms love for the Ahl al-Bayt and the honor of the Companions, highlighting texts that commend Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, and 'Ali.
Accessible and direct, this volume is intended for readers who want a structured overview of key issues without academic jargon. It serves as a guide for study groups, pesantren modules, and anyone seeking to navigate the arguments with clarity and respect.
