Al-Jāmiyah (Arabic: ٱلْجَامِيَة‎; also called Al-Jāmiʿah (ٱلْجَامِعَة), al-Jāmiʿ (ٱلْجَامِع), or al-Jāmaʿ (ٱلْجَامَع); meaning "the encyclopedia" or "the comprehensive")[1] is a sacred and secret text which Twelver Shias believe was dictated by Muhammad to Ali, who then wrote down these words,[2][3][4][5][6] like Al-Jafr.

Description

Al-Jamia is a scroll made from rams skin which measures 70 cubits long (as measured by the arm of Muhammad) and the width of a sheepskin.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

The Twelver Shia believe that Al-Jamia is currently in the possession of the 12th Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi, after he inherited it from his predecessors. But according to them, the Imam went into major occultation, and will not come in contact with the world until the end of times.[7][8][9]
