Exaggeration in introducing infallible (Ma'asoom) Imams (as) has been one of the challenges facing Shiaa throughout the history of Islam. Misunderstanding of religion, irrational devotion, ignorance and instrumental use of expressing the miracles of the infallibles (PBUH) have been among the factors that created a movement called Ghalyan. Along with exaggerating about the Imams, they have denied some of the rules of Sharia
And with deviant interpretations of religious concepts, they exempted themselves from practicing them and provided the ground for deviation and heresy in religious beliefs.
By studying the behavior of the Infallibles, it is clear that they have condemned exaggeration in their speech and behavior, and by using methods such as explaining the characteristics of correct religiosity, introducing the true nature of grains, expressing innocence, cursing, excommunication and even ordering to fight They have blocked their way into real Shiism.
This article on one hand aims to Review and analyze the fundamentals of Ghalyan and on the other hand the method of the infallible Imams (as) in confronting them by an analytical-descriptive.
