This group considers Abd Allah al-Aftah, the eldest son of the sixth Imam (Jaffar al-Sadiq), to have been the seventh Imam. There is little evidence of them surviving beyond al-Aftah’s death, since he is commonly believed to have left no descendents.[1]

I write about the Islamic faith and its followers, the Muslim. In the past, most of my writing was about the doctrines and the history of various Muslim sects. Since then, I’ve included other topics of interest, such as science, philosophy, psychology, current events, politics, rationality, article reviews, social behaviors, women and the Quran. The journal writing format seen here offers the creativity to fully express my thoughts in the easiest way possible.
