It is noteworthy to mention that the Control of the Wali al-Faqih had a prominent impact on making those criticisms, and it is believed that the conversations of the Sunnis had a great impact in enlightening them to the truth. As a result, and based on what the Shiites wrote in their books, the study concluded that All the above mentioned reasons made the Twelver Shiites to renounce their beliefs and to return to true Islam that is devoid of polytheism and innovations with which the Shiites filled their books.
