Al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah

Al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah is an Islamic book written by the Muslim scholar Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami, it covers many areas such as how to send greetings upon the Prophet Muhammad. The book also discusses the place of Shia'ism as a sect and attempts to expose and refute their claims. The book has been described as "one of the most devastating polemics ever written against the Shiite doctrine of the imāma and in defence of the first three caliphs."[1]

Shi'te Views

Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami Al-Makki's al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah (literally 'Loud/Frightening Lightning') is deeply critical against Shi'tes as a sect and their views and beliefs. The title itself is termed to be as a sign of the scathing attack on them. Later Shi'ite scholars, most notable from the Islamic Schools of Lucknow, India and Qom, Iran refuted the claims of al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah in their texts and books. Thus, Ibn-Hajar is not considered a respected scholar in Shi'ite views and texts.
