The greatest of the doctrines of the Raafidah is that of "Imaamah", believing that Ali was the only rightful leader after the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) and as such, their theology is founded entirely around this concept. Hence, their understanding of the foundations of Islaam (tawhid, belief, obedience) and what opposes them (shirk, disbelief,disobdience) are different to what is well known to the Muslims at large. He we look at their understanding of Shirk (polytheism).
