Shiites Ya'furiyya had the following beliefs:
They believed that the Imams after Muhammad were (in chronological order):
Ali, then
Hasan ibn Ali, then
When Hasan ibn Ali pledged allegiance to Muawiyah I, the imamate was taken away from him and given to Hussein ibn Ali, then
Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin, then
Muhammad ibn 'Ali al-Baqir, and then
Ya'furiyya Shiites do not know the names of the Imams after Muhammad al-Baqir, other than a few.
They believed that the world will always be an imam and never go without.
They believed that anyone who denies and rejects the Imams (even an imam) is an unbeliever.
They believed that anyone who recognizes and accepts all Imams and knows their names is a believer.
They believed that anyone who recognizes all the imams, but does not know all or part of their names is neither a believer nor an unbeliever.
They believed that a man named Muammar al-Kufi was their Lord.
They did homage to Muammar al-Kufi morning and evening.
When Muammar al-Kufi died, they told him what Christians about Jesus.
They believed in metempsychosis.
They believed that the world will last forever.
They believed that paradise is happening to people in this world as well-being, blessings, possessions, money and fame.
They believed that hell is happening to people in this world in the way of disease, health problems, difficulties and the transmigration of spirits in the animals, birds and insects. Ya'furiyya proof for this belief they were the words of God in the Qur'an: "It is not an animal that lives on earth, nor a creature flying on its wings, but forms a community that is like yours . "
They believed that adultery, wine, entertainment and all the other things prohibited (in Islam) to be lawful. According Ya'furiyya, why Muhammad forbade these amusements and rewards was to prevent Muslims from there to think that they had reached their full reward in full. This would have made the Muslims commit fewer acts that would be worthy of true worldly rewards (through the distractions of fun and rewards), and more acts that could cause trouble in the world and the transmigration of spirits in beast and reptiles. It would have required Muslims to work harder and do more good to maintain their position worthy of earthly rewards.
