Abstract:
“Security,” particularly “ideological security,” is a vital necessity for the religious individual and must be defended against any threats. Deviant movements and false claimants to the Mahdi create a variety of security challenges for Muslim communities—including the Islamic Republic. This article employs the theoretical framework developed by Ṣadr al‑Mutā’allehin Shīrāzī to identify and categorize these challenges. According to this schema, deviant currents and spurious claimants confront the Islamic Ummah with security threats across three domains: the “Barrier at the Gate of Knowledge,” the “Barrier at the Gate of Life,” and the “Barrier at the Gate of Livelihood. ” The application of this Shari‘at logical framework represents the principal innovation of the study. Methodologically, the paper draws on the Theory of Implication, derived from the disciplines of logic and principles of jurisprudence.
Machine summary:
According to this framework, deviant currents and false claimants of Mahdism confront the Islamic Ummah with security challenges in three domains: the "barrier of the gate of knowledge," the "barrier of the gate of life," and the "barrier of the gate of livelihood.
This is while security researchers state that the lack of attention to the indigenous perspective has caused the dominant theories in the field of security to generally have a European-American nature and character; secondly, the present article, by utilizing an indigenous theoretical framework provided by Sadr al-Muta'allihin Shirazi, aims to methodically classify, describe, explain, analyze, and critique the security challenges of deviant currents and sects.
The Concept of Deviant Movements and False Claimants of Mahdism By monitoring developments, we see that the enemies of Islam, through extensive and precise studies among the Shiites, have created Babiism and Baha'ism; among the Sunnis, Wahhabism; in India and Pakistan, the Qadiani and Ahmadiyya movements; in Iraq, the Ahmad Ismail movement; and in Africa, Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Abdullah, known as the Sudanese Mahdi, in order to incapacitate the unrivaled power of Islam and Muslims.
