Mr. Mohammad Shehadeh, one of the leaders of the Palestinian jihadist group

 

First of all, let me say that I was interested in Ahl al-Bayt religion since I was a child, but I had very little information. I considered Imam Ali (peace be upon him) as the fourth caliph, Imam Hassan and Hussein (peace be upon then) as the grandsons of the Prophet and Fatima (s.a) as one of the daughters of the Messenger of God, and this was the last information I had about them.

Over time, I developed a special emotional feeling towards the oppression of the Ahl al-Bayt, especially the oppression of Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him), and when the oppression of the occupation of Palestine by Zionists and Israel increased, my feelings deepened…

What was involved in my remaining a Sunni was ignorance and misinformation about Shiism, until finally I adopted this religion in the prison of Israel and meeting with one of the Lebanese Shiites and many correct words about the authenticity of Shiism.

And I hope I’m not the last one to say “Then I was Guided…”.
