The Khalafiyya Shia (named for its founder Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad) were a subsect of the Zaidi branch of Shia Islam. ==Beliefs== The Khalafiyya Shia had the following beliefs: *They believed that the Imams after Zayd ibn Ali ibn Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abī Ṭālib are as follows (in chronological order): * *Abd al-Samad (a client of Zayd ibn Ali, although the Khalafiyya Shia claim he was a son of Zayd), then * *Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad (who fled from the Ummayads to the land of the Turks), then * *Muhammad ibn Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad, then * *Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad, then * *The Khalafiyya Shia did not know the names of the Imams after Ahmad, but they believed that a descendent of Ahmad, still residing in the land of the Turks (since the migration to that land of his ancestor Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad), would rise as the Mahdi. *They believed the Imam’s knowledge comes to him by inspiration, not by acquisition. *They believed the Imam understood all languages. *They believed that Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad left behind a book which he composed in letters of an alphabet unknown to anyone other than his successor Imams and that these Imams alone would be able to explain his book. *They believed in a doctrine of Tawhid (Oneness of God) which denies that a person can describe or characterize God in any way. For example: * *a person cannot say that God is knowing, or that God is not knowing. * *a person cannot say that God is powerful, or that God is not powerful. * *a person cannot say that God is a thing, or that God is not a thing. *They also believed in a devotion to fives. For example (according to them): * *5 primary angels; Mikha’il (the chief angel of the Khalafiyya), Jibra’il, Izra’il, Mika’il and Israfil * *5 chosen creatures on Earth; Muhammad, Ali, Fatimah, Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali * *5 fingers * *5 pillars of Islam; Shahadah, Salat, Zakat, Sawm and Hajj * *5 senses; hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste * *5 prayer times; Fajr (Dawn prayer), Dhuhr (Mid-day prayer), Asr (Afternoon prayer), Maghrib (Sunset prayer) and Isha'a (Night prayer) * *5 books of scripture; the Suhuf Ibrahim (commonly the Scrolls of Abraham), the Tawrat (Torah), the Zabur (commonly the Psalms), the Injil (commonly the Gospel), and the Qur'an * *5 things leading to salvation * *5 special months of the year; Muharram, Rajab, Ramadan, Dhu al-Qi'dah and Dhu al-Hijjah 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khalafiyya Shia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
