Al-Saheefah Al-Sajjadiyyah Al-Kaamelah

Al-Saheefah Al-Sajjadiyyah Al-Kaamelah

Imam ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn (ʿa, an honorific meaning ʿalayhi al-salām — “peace be upon him”) — the fourth Imam of the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa) — bequeathed to the Muslim world one of the most profound treasures of devotional literature: al-Ṣaḥīfah al-Sajjādīyah al-Kāmilah (“The Perfect Book of Imam al-Sajjād”). Composed after the tragedy of Karbalāʾ, these supplications unite the language of sorrow and hope, transforming grief into spiritual awareness. Through duʿāʾ (supplication), the Imam taught that faith matures when gratitude, repentance, and ṣabr (patient endurance) become acts of love and insight.

About the Book

Al-Saheefah Al-Sajjadiyyah Al-Kaamelah stands as a masterpiece of Islamic spirituality and theology, often called “the Psalms of the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa).” It contains fifty-four supplications that address every dimension of human life: worship, repentance, social justice, and compassion. Drawing upon classical Shīʿī sources such as al-Kāfī, Bihār al-Anwār, and al-Miṣbāḥ al-Mutahajjid, this edition presents the original Arabic text alongside English translation and commentary. The work demonstrates how the Imam’s words blend divine intimacy with moral responsibility, guiding believers toward purity of heart and nearness to God.
