Commentary of Imam Al Askari (asws) Part 7

Commentary of Imam Al Askari (asws) Part 7 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 seventh volume develops the commentary on Sūrat al-Baqarah, emphasizing repentance (tawbah), the recognition of sin, and the restoration of sincerity (ikhlāṣ). The text highlights that spiritual renewal begins with honest self-examination and leads to the ethical and spiritual refinement of intention and behavior.

About the Book

This volume interprets verses that address repentance, forgiveness, and divine mercy (raḥmah), showing how faith (īmān) matures through spiritual awareness. Drawing from hadith (prophetic and Imamic traditions) transmitted within the Imam’s school, the commentary presents repentance not merely as an emotional return but as an active transformation of the self. It explores how sincere tawbah purifies the heart, renews one’s covenant with God (ʿahd Allāh), and restores harmony between belief and action. The text also contrasts the inner humility of the believer with the arrogance of those who persist in hypocrisy (nifāq), offering a spiritual framework for self-discipline and moral accountability.
