But as I started to write the introduction, I realized that there was an urgent need to fully define all of the technical vocabulary that I needed to use, because terms such as welayat, imamat, hojjat, esmat, feqahat, rububiat, and so on had not been either properly or fully defined in the English language, especially with respect to their waliyic aspect… The two books taken together are an attempt at a comprehensive treatment of what is called Waliyic Islam approached from the perspective of Shi’a Islam itself, as opposed to the perspective of orientalism or some other branch of the humanities, all of whose perspectives are ultimately philosophical in their underpinnings and bearings and therefore do not reflect the religion as it is understood by the clerisy of the religion itself, but do so from a perspective and ideological framework that is alien and indeed antithetical and at times hostile to it… And so, for a refreshing change, you will be reading a book on Islam written from an inner religious perspective, and not one which pretends to be about the religion but is actually about the philosophy of religion, where philosophy is the noun and religion is a secondary prepositional adjunct to it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd so, in addition to its unique religious rather than academic, “objective” approach, what is specifically unique about this book is that it provides, probably for the first time in English, the following treatments:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- A definition and exposition of what Imamic or explicatory revelation is, and how the need for it continues after the occultation, and how the magisters fulfill the role of explicatory revelation (though imperfectly) in the absence of immaculate guidance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- A detailed definition of the theoretical aspects of the Imamate, together with a long chapter on the historical realities of what the imamate actually turned into and why.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- A collection of all of the major instances of tansis or the divine investiture of Imam Ali the Twelve Imams to the succession to the Prophet and to the office of his imamate, all of which have been sourced exclusively from Sonni hadith scripture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- The nature and function of feqhicity and the post-occultation authority of the Shi’a clerisy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- A summary of the 22 rational and scriptural proofs in Imam Khomeini’s seminal 1970 book Islamic Governance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- The theoretical framework and logic of how all of the above creedal beliefs relate to each other and flow together to give rise to the theory of velayat-e faqih.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lion of Najaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32695114301518,"sku":"","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1201\/7404\/products\/Creedal-Foundations-of-Waliyic-Islam-Blake-Archer-Williams.jpg?v=1632637749"},{"product_id":"kawthar-volume-1-3-an-anthology-of-the-speeches-of-imam-khomeini-r-including-an-account-of-the-events-of-the-revolution-1962-1978","title":"Kawthar Volume 1-3: An Anthology of the Speeches of Imam Khomeini (r) Including an Account of the Events of the Revolution 1962-1978","description":"\u003cp\u003eComplied by his son Ahmad Khomeini, this 3 volume book is an anthology the speeches of Imam Khomeini pre and post revolution.

Thus he offers scholarship, a key to understanding Shi‘ism, Iran, and the Revolution as relevant today as it was when the essays were first written. Rather than projecting Shi‘ism as a historical monolith, this book takes the reader on a journey through the developments in Shi‘ism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, discussing the debates over religious authority and modern political technologies. Rooting the development of the Revolution in a broader historical context, it also offers biographies of key revolutionary figures and explores ideological challenges faced by the nascent Islamic Republic, such as matters of war and social justice. Throughout the book, mysticism and politics intertwine; not only does the characteristically Shi’i form of mysticism – ʿirfan – figure heavily in this work, but some sections are devoted to the relationship between the Shi’i Imams and the Sunni Sufi orders, as well as the place of Sufism in Shi‘ism. Lastly, Hamid Algar provides sound, thought-provoking analyses of contemporary scholarship in the study of Shi‘ism, including the works of Henry Corbin and Patricia Crone. This book contains something for anyone with an interest in history, Shi‘ism, Iran, or the Islamic Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hamid Algar (1940-) is Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, where he served on the faculty of Near Eastern Studies for 45 years. His degree from Cambridge in Oriental Languages (Arabic and Persian) led him on a fascinating journey through the Islamic heritage and lands, both physically and metaphorically, in an era where Islam was scarcely known in the West. A prolific author, he has written not only on Shi‘ism and Iran but also the Naqshbandi Sufi order; the contemporary history of Turkey, the Balkans, and Afghanistan; and Arabic, Persian, and Turkish literature. He has lent his pen and deep command of languages to numerous translations, including Islam and Revolution, an early collection of Imam Khomeini’s speeches. One of the few Westerners to meet Imam Khomeini, Algar was able to meet with Khomeini a number of times, first in Paris, then in Qum and Tehran, and became well acquainted with his mode of thought.

Without acknowledging it, learning how to use it, and incorporating it into one's life, there is surely something missing. Human development is the gateway to excellent leadership, whether it is in one's home, organization, or community. The concepts of leadership and development go hand in hand, as shown by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) and his immaculate disciples. This book shows us how they stressed a lifestyle of leadership through development and how one can attain their own personal excellence. Islam emphasizes that human development is meant for, and is driven by, individuals because of their dynamic personalities, ever-increasing body of knowledge, and endless potential. Development is an incentive for diligence, persistence, excellence, precision, and other growth facets. It is comprehensive growth that affects and is affected by the movement of society.

A handful of Hizbollah soldiers guided by the highly capable, courageous and wise leadership of Seyyid Hassan Nasrullah and armed with light weapons and faith in God were able to repeat the history of victorious battles fought at the time of Prophet Muhammad (s).

The book deals in detail with the history, ideology and teachings of the deviant Islamic sect founded by Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdul Wahab from Njad, Saudi Arabia. The author provides a detailed historical account of Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdul Wahab from the start of his preaching of Wahhabi ideology based on the teachings of Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim in the 1700s in the Najd region of present Saudi Arabia and gradually, until gradually, with the support of Saud dynasty and British, it became the state religion. Wahhabis accuse all other Muslim sects of being polytheists and consider shedding their blood permissible and seizing their properties. Wahhabism, in recent times is the fountainhead of all the so-called Islamic extremist and terrorist movements worldwide, including Daesh, ISIS and Boko Haram. Wahhabism is rejected by all the five schools of thought in Islam. Based on the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (s), the author explains in detail the Islamic concepts of shirk (polytheism), construction of graves and reciting ziyarat (visitation) of Prophets, Saints and divine personalities (Awliya Allah), Tawassaul (recourse) to the divine personalities, the commemoration of birth and death anniversaries of divine personalities, seeking Shifa’ (benediction) from the traces of divine personalities, seeking help from divine personalities during their life and from their souls after their death, seeking Shafa’a (intercession) from divine personalities for the forgiveness of sins and making Nadhr (vow) to the beloved ones of God. With very solid logical reasoning and conclusive arguments, supported by verses of the Qur’an and the traditions of the Prophet (s), the author proves that Wahhabism is a deviant sect and has nothing to do with the teachings of Islam.
