From the vast corpus of sayings of the Imams, a selection has been prepared by the most highly respected religious authority of the Shi ite school in the 20th century, Allamah Tabataba i. The selections have been translated with great skill and elegance by Professor William Chittick. Such fundamental themes as the Unity of God, the Ruler and Society, and the Spiritual Life, are covered by this excellent introduction to the worldview of Shi ite Islam.
Journalist Khalid M. Amayreh points out the Major Contradictions in the Shiite Imami Religion in his book My Story with the Shiites. He says the real contentious issue between Muslims and Shiites is not Yazid or Mu’awiya, Hassan or Hussein, Fadak or al-“Zahraa’s limb,” the Karbulaa tragedy or the so-called Raziyatul Khamis (Thursday’s calamity), Hadithul Manzela or the Saqifa of Bani Sa’ada, or the Ghadeer Khom event. In fact, these issues can be reduced to mere “red herrings” used by the Shiites to discredit Islam and undermine the entire Muhammadan message. This timely and eye-opening book clears up misconceptions as it tells the truth about Shiites and Shiism.
Explores Western and Muslim scholarship on multiple aspects of the Twelver Shi’ite tradition.
