Al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah is an Islamic book written by the Muslim scholar Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami, it covers many areas such as how to send greetings upon the Prophet Muhammad and the role of Shia'ism in Islam.
Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami Al-Makki's al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah (literally 'Loud/Frightening Lightning') is deeply critical against Shi'tes as a sect and their views and beliefs. The title itself is termed to be as a sign of the scathing attack on them. Later Shi'ite scholars, most notable from the Islamic Schools of Lucknow, India and Qom, Iran refuted the claims of al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah in their texts and books. Thus, Ibn-Hajar is not considered a respected scholar in Shi'ite views and texts.
