Commentary of Imam Al Askari (asws) Part 11
Commentary of Imam Al Askari (asws) Part 11 continues the Qurʾānic exegesis attributed to Imam Ḥasan al-ʿAskarī (ʿa, an honorific meaning ʿalayhi al-salām — “peace be upon him”), the eleventh Imam of the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa). This eleventh volume deepens the interpretation of Sūrat al-Baqarah, focusing on divine guidance (hudā), human choice, and the distinction between piety (taqwā) and hypocrisy (nifāq). The commentary portrays guidance as a moral illumination that transforms both the heart and conduct, revealing that steadfastness and sincerity sustain faith amid trials.
About the Book
This volume examines verses concerning the acceptance or rejection of divine guidance and the consequences that follow. Drawing from hadith (prophetic and Imamic traditions) transmitted through the Imam’s students, it explains that taqwā (God-consciousness) is not mere abstinence from sin, but a continuous awareness that aligns intention (niyyah) with righteous action. The commentary warns against the self-deception of hypocrites (munāfiqūn) and emphasizes that knowledge without humility leads to spiritual blindness. It presents hudā as both a divine gift and a responsibility—received through purity of heart and upheld through ethical perseverance.

About the Author
The compiler of Commentary of Imam Al Askari (asws) Part 11 preserved narrations transmitted through the Imam’s disciples and early Shīʿī scholars. While the commentary remains attributed to Imam Ḥasan al-ʿAskarī (ʿa), its treatment of hudā, taqwā, and nifāq reflects the theological precision and moral depth of his school.
