  • A Brief Introduction to Islam

    A Brief Introduction to Islam Islam is the only religion in the world that says that its precepts are natural. The Holy Quran says: "..It is Allah's Nature on which Allah has created humans. There is no change in Allah's creation. This is the established religion (deen al-qayyim) but many of the humans know not." (Surat al-Room, 30:30). In Islam, the beliefs have primary position; they are the roots, and the practices are branches that are dependent for their existence on the roots. The primary belief is that of the Unity and Supreme Sovereignty of Allah, the Almighty, the Everpresent, the Everlasting, the All-knowing. Allah is Just. He sent prophets to convey His message. He selected Imams to safeguard His message. He ordained a Day of Judgement when the deeds of His creatures will be measured and rewarded or punished accordingly. Belief in Allah, therefore, entails belief in all of the above. Islam is the last divine religion and Prophet Muhammad (s) is the last

  • Various Sayings of Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as)

    Various Sayings of Imam ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib An Extract of Du’a Kumayl The following sayings of Imam ‘Ali (as) are taken from Du'a Kumail, trans. N. Husayn Mardi, Chehel Sotoon Theological School: Iran, 1989. The most complete gift of God is a life based on knowledge. The innumerable fools have made the learned very scarce. The learned man understands the ignorant for he was once ignorant for he was once ignorant himself. The ignorant man does not understand the learned for he has never been learned himself. Knowledge gives life to the soul. To respect the learned is to respect God. Knowledge creates fear of God. Practice makes knowledge perfect. To teach is to learn. Honesty is Divine language. To fulfill promises is the highest form of integrity. Truth means conformity of speech with the Divine mode of working. Friendship is impossible with a liar. Misrepresentation spoils narration. Lying spoils news. Enemity is the

  • Imam Hasan and Caliphate

    The life of Imam Hasan (as) was both eventful and full of lessons, and yet the significance of his role seems to have been ignored, forgotten, or eclipsed by the extent of focus on Imam Husayn (as). A common misconception is that he was just a peace-maker, yet nothing could be further from the truth. For Imam Hasan (as) was overwhelmingly and popularly appointed as Caliph due to his charisma, knowledge and eminent piety. Then he led the Islamic Caliphate for six months with authority and control, and he prepared his army, leading it to war against Muawiya and exhorting it to be brave and unflinching. Moreover, the author demonstrates, with exacting scholarship using authentic sources and the motherbooks of history, how there would have been no Karbala without the groundwork laid by Imam Hasan (as). The book also has great value as a manual of instruction on how one should obey the Imam of one’s time, in war and in peace .Thus making it an excellent way of preparing for the
