Ihqaq ul haq wa izhaq al batil volume 9
Iḥqaq al-Ḥaqq wa Izhaq al-Batil is a book in theology written by Qadi Nur Allah Shushtari, one of the greatest Shi'a scholar who passed away in 1019/1610. He wrote this book for defending guardianship and imamate of Imam Ali (as) and explaining theological ideas of Shi'a and rejecting the book Ibtal nahj al-batil wa ihmal kashf al-'atil written by Fadl Allah Amin son of Ruzbihan b. Fadl Allah Khunji Shirazi Isfahani who was a great Shafi'i scholar. Qadi Nur Allah Shushtari adopted the name of his book from Qur'an 17:81, "And say, 'The Truth has come, and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood is bound to vanish"; the name of the book means "Proving the Truth and vanishing the falsehood". In this book, Qadi Nur Allah Shushtari meant to introduce Shi'a's major and minor principles and shows deviations of critics and therefore he has discussed major and minor principles of both Shi'a and Sunni comparatively.In fact, Ihqaq al-haqq is a summary of the Shi'a-Sunni debates on theology, prophethood and imamate.
