Shia Islam 6

The consequence of encountering the Shiite “monotheistic view” is a plausible faith that connects people with the Creator and leads them to a strong love. In this sense, we read in the Hl. Quran: “... But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah ...” The Shiite “monotheistic view” makes it clear that the deepest essence of God is love and that He wants to take us humans into His care and reconcile us with Himself. God is not only the generally merciful, but the gra-cious, saving God who makes his acts of salvation touchable in our life. God is not only the God who is completely free in His will, but above all the faithful, lov-ing Creator on whom his lovers can rely, since “they love Him, and He loves them”, as we read in the Hl. Quran. This study is a humble endeavor in search of a solid and accurate knowledge that will bring us closer to our Lord and guide us on the path of salvation and lead us to bliss in this life and the hereafter.
