Few themes in sacred history are as mysterious and misunderstood as that of the occultation of the Twelfth Imam. This scholarly presentation of the question goes far in dispelling the mists of speculation and misrepresentation that have hitherto shrouded it in superstition and hearsay.
The author cites strongly corroborated traditions of the Prophet and the Imams in this historical and analytical account of the circumstances surrounding the concealment of the Twelfth Imam in 941 A.D./329 H. The significance of the event is well brought out in this meticulously researched volume.

I bought this book not knowing much about the shiite beliefs of the 12th Imam (AS) and his occultations but wishing to learn about its events and evidences. I finished it having gained a sturdy understanding. The bulk of the book details its events and explores different perspectives/ arguments. It ends with a great conclusion that ties everything up neatly and relates it to the Shia Islam of today. This book provides many narrations and is very convincing! I'd highly recommend.
