Albert Einstein was a Shiite Muslim

An Iranian cleric claims that the Albert Einstein, the great 20th century scientist who developed the Theory of Relativity, was a Shiitie Muslim, Israel Radio reported on Saturday.

An Iranian cleric Ayatolla Mahadavi Kani says in a video circulating in social networks that the Jewish scientist found proof to his Theory of Relativity in the ascension of the Prophet Mohammed.

The report cites a video by Ayatolla Mahadavi Kani, described as the head of the Assembly of Experts in the Islamic Republic of Iran, who says that there are documents proving the Jewish scientist embraced Shiite Islam and was an avid follower of Ja'far Al-Sadiq, an eighth-century Shi'i imam.

In the video, Kani quotes Einstein as saying that when he heard about the ascension of the prophet Mohammed, "a process which was faster than the speed of light," he realized "this is the very same relativity movement that Einstein had understood."

The ayatollah adds: "Einstein said, 'when I heard about the narratives of the prophet Mohamad and that of the Ahle-Beit [prophet's household] I realized they had understood these things way before us.'"

Reports of Einstein's affinity to Islam circulated in 2012 as well, when the grandson of the late Ayatollah Hossein Borujerdi claimed the scientist was "corresponding with the cleric and had admitted Shia Islam was the most scientific and just religion in the world."

According to those reports, Einstein's correspondence with Ayatollah Borujerdi is kept in a London safe box. Luckily, the readers were provided with the code to open it.

Albert Einstein (14 March, 1879 – 18 April, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist and philosopher of science. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). He is best known in popular culture for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"). He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory.

Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led to the development of his special theory of relativity. He realized, however, that the principle of relativity could also be extended to gravitational fields, and with his subsequent theory of gravitation in 1916, he published a paper on the general theory of relativity. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory, which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of relativity to model the large-scale structure of the universe.

He was visiting the United States when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 and, being Jewish, did not go back to Germany, where he had been a professor at the Berlin Academy of Sciences. He settled in the U.S., becoming an American citizen in 1940. On the eve of World War II, he endorsed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt alerting him to the potential development of "extremely powerful bombs of a new type" and recommending that the U.S. begin similar research. This eventually led to what would become the Manhattan Project. Einstein supported defending the Allied forces, but largely denounced the idea of using the newly discovered nuclear fission as a weapon. Later, with the British philosopher Bertrand Russell, Einstein signed the Russell–Einstein Manifesto, which highlighted the danger of nuclear weapons. Einstein was affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, until his death in 1955.

Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers along with over 150 non-scientific works. His great intellectual achievements and originality have made the word "Einstein" synonymous with genius.

Einstein in 1954 in a letter to Ayatollah Al-Sayid Udzma Hossein Boroujerdi, a large Shiite Marji at the time, stated, "After 40 times to establish contact with your correspondence (Ayatollah Boroujerdi), I now accept the religion of Islam and Shiite sects 12th Imam. " In his paper, Einstein called the description of the travels of Imam Ali Miraj Prophet bodily into heaven and nature of angels who only performed within a few seconds as the explanation of Imam Ali as the most valuable. When the Zionist media trying to prevent the increasing number of new adherents to Islam in Western societies and trying to tarnish the image of peace-loving religion and justice, it was revealed a confidential letter of Albert Einstein, German scientist inventor of the theory of relativity to show that they are adherents of Twelver Shia Islam. Based on the report site Mouood.org, Einstein in 1954 in a letter to Ayatollah Al-Sayid Udzma Hossein Boroujerdi, a large Shiite Marji at the time, stated, "After 40 times to establish contact with your correspondence (Ayatollah Boroujerdi), now I get religion 12 Shiite sect of Islam and the Imam ". Einstein in a letter that explains that Islam is more primary than all other religions and call it a religion of the most perfect and rational. Stressed, "If the whole world trying to make me upset with this sacred belief, surely they would not be able to do so even if only to whip out a speck of doubt to me." Einstein in his last paper titled Die Erklarung (Declaration) written in 1954 in the United States in German reviewed the theory of relativity through the verses of the Quran and sayings of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib as in the book Nahjul Balaghah. In his paper, Einstein called the description of the travels of Imam Ali Miraj Prophet bodily into heaven and nature of angels who only performed within a few seconds as the explanation of Imam Ali as the most valuable. One of the traditions that became tradition rests is narrated by Allamah Majlisi about physical ascension of the Prophet. It said, "When lifted off the ground, clothes or feet of the Prophet touched a vessel of water that causes water to spill. After the Prophet returned from physical ascension, after going through various times, he saw the water still in a state spilled on the ground. "Einstein saw this tradition as a treasure of knowledge which are very expensive, because it explains the scientific capability of the Shia Imam in the relativity of time. According to Einstein, mathematical formulas bodily resurrection is inversely proportional to the famous formula "relativity of matter and energy." E = M.C ²>> M = E: C ² This means that although our bodies turn into energy, he can return the original tangible, alive again. In his letter to Ayatollah al-Uzma Boroujerdi, as a tribute he always uses the word call "Boroujerdi Senior", and to encouraging the spirit of Prof.. Hesabi (physicist and Einstein was the only student from Iran), he uses the word "Hesabi noble." The original manuscript of this treatise is still stored in a secret London safety box (at the place where Prof. Ibrahim Mahdavi), for security reasons. Minutes are purchased by prof. Ibrahim Mahdavi (live in London) with the help of one member of the firm Benz carmaker worth 3 million dollars from a Jewish antiquities dealer. Einstein's handwriting on all pages of the booklet had been checked through a computer and proved by experts manuscript.
