      abstract = {This book is about the emergence of a stream of ideas in  the 1930s and 1940s within Imamiyya Shiʻite context,  focusing primarily on the thought of Shariat Sangelaji  (1891-1944), who harshly criticized a number of basic  theological beliefs within Imamiyya Shiʻa. Accusing them of  polytheism and superstition on account of their ideas about  shifaʻa intercession, and their pilgrimage to the graves of  the Shiʻite imams, he also criticized the belief that the  twelfth imam al-Mahdi has been living in covertness since  the 9th century, and that a number of historical figures  will be resurrected upon his return to assist him in the  final battle against the evil. Taking at once a theological  and historical approach, Mohammad Fazlhashemi investigates  whether Salafist mainstreaming thoughts, despite its  hostile attitude towards Shi'a Islam, had any influence  over Shiʻite theology. He explores whether and what  components of the Salafist tradition of ideas have been  adopted by theologians within Imamiyya shi'a or whether in  fact whether these changes were the result of an internal  theological tug-of-war within the Imamiyya Shi'a that was  influenced by the interwar modernization efforts.  Fazlhashemi examines the characteristic features of this  flow of ideas, its sources of inspiration, the reception of  its thought, and the imprints it made on theological  currents within Imamiyya shi'a in Iran during its time and  time thereafter. .},
