In Memory of the Last Ruler of God

In Memory of the Last Ruler of God

What role must an unseen Imam play for believers—and how can his guiding presence be defended through both reason and devotion? In Memory of the Last Ruler of God offers a concise synthesis of rational argument and devotional affirmation, reminding readers that spiritual leadership endures even in concealment. About the Book In Memory of the Last Ruler of God by Grand Ayatullah Wahid Khorasani (Yasin Publications, 1995) adapts the author’s foundational teachings on the principles of religion into an accessible single volume. It presents both rational and textual proofs for the necessity of a living, infallible Imam in every age. Through systematic reasoning anchored in Qur’anic argument and ahadith (prophetic and Imamic reports), the book contends that the Imam’s hidden presence safeguards the faith’s integrity and guides the community. The treatment is disciplined and reverent—logic weds lived piety, and argument is aligned with devotional commitment rather than speculation. What You Will Discover
