Ghaffari's Doubts on the Issue of Text by Referring to the Statements of Sunni Scholars: Review and Critique

The most important issue that Naser Ghaffari, one of the contemporary critics of Shia, mentioned in his book "Principles of Twelver Shiism: Review and Critique" is the lack of text on the Imamate of Imam Ali (AS). He states that the current texts are made by Shia scholars and Sheikhs, and assuming the existence of a correct text, it is not related to a specific person. In order to prove his claim about the lack of text on the Imamate of Imam Ali (AS), Ghaffari raises ten doubts. Citing the words of other Sunni scholars, this article aims to 1. Answer Ghaffari's doubts 2. Show that the existing texts are not made by Shia scholars, but are also reflected in Sunni sources 3. According to the texts taken from Sunni sources, the meaning of the texts has also been determined, which, for some reasons, has been overlooked by the likes of Ghafari since long ago.
