Personal life
Al-Tijani was born in Tunisian Sunni family. As a student, he made a pilgrimage to Mecca. While studying at the Saudi hawza, he was influenced by Saudi teachings, wahhabism - which holds, among many, that the Shi'ites aren't Muslims and are worthy of death.
Upon returning to Tunisia, Al-Tijani was influenced by an Iraqi Shia student, Mun'im, who invited him to Iraq. Al-Samawi spent several weeks with Mun'im; visited Baghdad and Najaf, and met with several leading Shi'a scholars. These included: Grand Ayatollah Abul-Qassim Khoei (al-Khu'i), Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr (Grand Ayatollah to-be) and Allameh Tabatabaei, who taught him about Islam. After long debates with the Shia scholars, he embraced the faith that he was ready to "expose."
Works
Al-Tijani's books are banned in some countries, such as Saudi Arabia. He has written six books:
Three of his books are also available in Urdu titled as:
Then I Was Guided
Then I Was Guided (Arabic Thumma Htadayt) is Al-Tijani's first book—in a series of books—which he wrote for a Sunni audience. In this series, he asks the Sunnis the same questions he wrestled with during his studies of Shi'a literature. The author finds the Shi'i argument for their account of history to be valid, while citing evidence which he claimed proved the Sunni view cannot withstand scrutiny.
Ask Those Who Know
Ask Those Who Know is the second book in the series.
To Be with the Truthful
The name of the book, To Be with the Truthful, is derived from a Quranic verse: "O you who believe, fear Allah and be with the Truthful" ([Quran 9:119]). The work addresses the revelation of the Qur'anic verse, [Quran 5:67]. Revealed during the Farewell Pilgrimage on Mount Arafat, it is regarded as authentic in Sahih Bukhari. The book questions why Muslims do not celebrate that day as their greatest festival. The book also discusses the events of Ghadir Khumm and the meeting at Saqifah
The Shi'a: The Real Followers of the Sunnah
The title of The Shi'a: The Real Followers of the Sunnah (or Shiah Hum Ahl Al-Sunnah) is more accurately translated as "The Shi'ah are the real Ahl al-Sunnah".
