The Core Beliefs of the Twelver Shi'a (Al-ʾIʿtiqādāt al-Imāmīyya)


Al-ʾIʿtiqādāt fī dīn al-Imāmīyya (Arabic: الاعتقادات فی دین الامامیة) or al-ʾIʿtiqādāt al-Imāmīyya ( اعتقادات الامامیة), known as Iʿtiqādāt al-Ṣadūq ( اعتقادات الصدوق), is a short book concerning the Imami Theology written by al-Shaykh al-Saduq (d. 381/991-2). In this book, he states Shi'a beliefs by appealing to hadiths by the Infallibles (a). The book was written at the request of scholars in Nishapur when al-Shaykh al-Saduq was on a trip there. There are many translations of, and commentaries on, the book.
