What is the meaning of Taqiyah?

Answer

Taqiyah is a belief of the Shiahs. It means to conceal one's true beliefs and proclaim what one does not believe in order to deceive others. For example, the Shiahs reject the Qur'aan Shareef. They believe that the Qur'aan is a fabrication which is a falsification of the Sahabaah. However, in order to deceive Muslims, they claim that they believe in the Qur'aan. Taqiyah is holy hypocrisy which is a doctrine of great merit in the Shi'i religion.
