The Alawite revolutions in the era of Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) and his position towards them

(The revolution of Muhammad Dhu al-Nafs al-Zakiyya (145 AH/763 AD) as a model)

Abstract

The conflict between truth and falsehood has existed since God Almighty created Adam (peace be upon our Prophet and his family), and it is still ongoing as long as there are two approaches and two ways of life, and this conflict will continue until God Almighty permits the victory of truth over falsehood, as God Almighty inherits the earth to his righteous servants.

Each party in the conflict has its leaders and men who defend their approach and existence, as the followers of truth want happiness for humanity and justice and goodness for humanity, while the people of falsehood and its symbols only think of their interests and whims, and practice all kinds of injustice, so the crops and offspring have not been spared from their injustice and corruption throughout the ages.

For the record, the Muslims who follow the path of Ali and his sons (peace be upon them) since the dawn of the bright Islam and throughout history have never been a source of anxiety or division for the Islamic nation, let alone a source of war and aggression against others. Throughout their long history, they have given nothing but mercy, forgiveness and kindness to human beings, whether they were Muslims or infidels. Rather, they did not create obstacles, create destruction or wish evil for others, let alone plant its seeds and spread its poisons. They followed the path of the Noble Messenger (may God bless him and his family and grant them peace), who was mentioned in the revelation: “And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.” He is the Merciful and Compassionate towards his nation, and his path was a guide to goodness and happiness. His family and children followed his path after him, for they are the Imams of guidance and the lamps of darkness (peace be upon them).
