Summary/Abstract: Any conversation about the state of Muhammad's, peace be upon him, Ummah, their weakness after the progress and the leading role in humanity which they held for so many years, inevitably entails a discussion on its disunity which we all see. Unavoidable point in the divisions of Muslims into the various factions and groups are certainly the Shia Muslims, which are the followers of Ali and his family. Particularly important is the fact that they were the first who started to forge and spread the false Hadiths. Even worse than that is the belief of one part of the Shia that the Qur'an is defective and incomplete,although the Qur'an has been narrated with the method of Tawatur. This paper attempts to illuminate at least to some extent this side of their ideology in the perception of prof. Ihsan Ilahi Zahir, a former Pakistani scholar, who has devoted most of his works to this issue in the Islamic community.
