The Most Important Problem of the Islamic World

The concept of wilāyah (guardianship, spiritual authority) in Islam is not merely a legal term; it is a living principle that shapes the moral, social, and political foundation of a community. This book invites the reader to rethink what true authority means and how it should be exercised under divine guidance.
About the Book
Wilāyah (Guardianship) is a collection of six speeches delivered by Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamene’i in the holy month of Ramadan in 1979, shortly before the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. In these discourses, he examines the notion of wilāyah as a central pillar of Islamic thought. He presents its dimensions not only as a matter of religious doctrine but also as a framework that defines the identity, structure, and ethical orientation of society. The book emphasizes that without aligning with Allah (God, exalted is He) and His guardianship, a community risks falling under oppressive powers that erode its spiritual and moral foundation.

Wilayat (Guardianship)

Advances in modern medicine continually raise ethical and legal questions that demand careful religious evaluation. Islamic Rulings: Medical Issues addresses these challenges by examining contemporary medical practices through the lens of Islamic jurisprudence.
About the Book
Islamic Rulings: Medical Issues is a specialized work that explores a wide range of medical topics from a jurisprudential (fiqh, Islamic legal reasoning) perspective. The book focuses on how Islamic law responds to new medical realities while remaining faithful to its foundational sources: the Qur’an, the Sunnah (prophetic practice), consensus (ijmaʿ), and reasoned deduction (ijtihad).
The book discusses issues arising from modern healthcare, such as medical treatments, surgical interventions, reproductive technologies, end-of-life care, and bodily integrity. Each issue is approached systematically, beginning with its medical background and followed by a legal analysis rooted in Islamic principles. The author emphasizes the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid al-shariʿah, higher aims of the law), particularly the preservation of life, dignity, intellect, and lineage.
Rather than offering simplistic answers, the book highlights areas of scholarly agreement and disagreement, showing how jurists weigh necessity, harm, benefit, and intention in medical decision-making. This method allows readers to understand not only the rulings themselves but also the reasoning processes behind them.
The work serves as a bridge between medical science and religious law, demonstrating that Islamic jurisprudence is dynamic and capable of addressing complex ethical questions without abandoning its core values.

Practical Laws of Islam

Few figures in Islamic history embody the perfect harmony of knowledge, devotion, and moral strength as profoundly as Lady Fāṭimah al-Zahrāʾ (ʿa, an honorific meaning ʿalayhā al-salām — “peace be upon her”). Her life stands as a radiant manifestation of divine values in action — a living example of compassion, purity, and steadfast defense of truth.
About the Book
The Magnificence of Lady Fatimah (p) presents a series of addresses by Āyatullāh Sayyid ʿAlī Khāmeneʾī, exploring the spiritual stature, intellectual depth, and moral leadership of Lady Fāṭimah (ʿa). These lectures, later compiled and translated by Shia Translation, illuminate her position as the central axis of wilāyah (divinely guided authority) and the ideal model of Islamic womanhood.
The book contextualizes her virtues within the broader framework of Islamic theology and history, portraying her as the link between nubuwwah (prophethood) and imāmah (the leadership of the divinely appointed Imams). Through accessible language and insightful commentary, the author invites readers to see Lady Fāṭimah (ʿa) not only as a revered historical figure but also as a continuing source of spiritual strength and moral clarity for all generations.

The Magnificence of Lady Fatimah (p)

Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei (Mashhad, 19 april 1939 – Teheran, 28 februari 2026), known as Ayatollah Khamenei, is the second leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran and a Shiite religious authority. Before the Islamic Revolution of Iran, he was a fighter against the Pahlavi regime and spent some time in prison and exile due to his revolutionary activities. After the formation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, he held important responsibilities, including two terms as president (1939-1989), a representative of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, and the Friday prayer leader of Tehran, and was elected as the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1989. Ayatollah Khamenei is interested in contemporary literature and history and writes poetry under the pen name "Amin". His valuable works include books such as "The Outline of Islamic Thought in the Quran", "The 250-Year-Old Man (Analysis of the Political Lives of Shiite Imams), "Ghina" (a lesson text outside of Ghina and Music) and Palestine based on his speeches and "The Outline of Islamic Thought in the Quran", "The Spirit of Monotheism, the Rejection of Slavery to Other Than God", and two translations of "The Peace of Imam Hassan" and "The Future in the Realm of Islam".

Education
Seyyid Ali Khamenei began his education at the age of four in a kindergarten, learning the Quran, and at the same time as he was in elementary school, he began learning to recite and recite the Quran in Mashhad. In the final years of elementary school, he also began his preliminary seminary education. After completing elementary school, he continued his religious studies at the Suleiman Khan School and completed his advanced studies at the Navab School. He also learned part of the preliminary and advanced studies from his father. Simultaneously with his seminary education, he also continued his high school education until the second year of high school.
In 1955, he attended Seyyid Mohammad Hadi Milani's foreign jurisprudence course, and in 1958, he went to Najaf on a short trip with his family and attended the Najaf Seminary courses, but due to his father's unwillingness to stay in that city, he returned to Mashhad and attended Ayatollah Milani's course for another year, and in 1959, he left for the Qom Seminary.

Teaching
Since his arrival in Mashhad, Seyyed Ali Khamenei has been teaching advanced levels of jurisprudence and principles (Risa'il, Makasib, and Kifayah) and has also held interpretation sessions for the general public. In 1968, he began teaching specialized interpretation sessions for religious students. These lessons and interpretation sessions continued until 1977, before his arrest and exile to Iranshahr. The interpretation sessions continued during the years of the presidency and after. After becoming the leader, in 1980, he began teaching external jurisprudence at Imam Khomeini's Husseiniyeh, and has so far taught the chapters of jihad, qisas, mahram makasib, and traveler's prayer.
Professors:
Seyyed Jalil Hosseini Sistani, Seyyed Javad Khamenei, Mirza Mohammad Modarres Yazdi, Hashem Qazvini, Seyyed Mohammad Hadi Milani, Seyyed Hossein Boroujerdi, Imam Khomeini, Morteza Haeri Yazdi, Seyyed Mohammad Mohaqiq Damad, and Allameh Tabatabaei were among Ayatollah Khamenei's professors. It is also reported that he briefly attended Mujtaba Qazvini's philosophy class.

Thoughts
Among the most important jurisprudential views of Ayatollah Khamenei are the prohibition of beatings, the prohibition of insulting the sanctities of the Sunnis, and the prohibition of using nuclear weapons. In the political arena, he considers the solution to the Palestinian issue to be a referendum and emphasizes resistance to the Zionist regime. He has also proposed the theory of resistance economics in the face of Western sanctions against Iran. Supporting the resistance front, confronting cultural aggression, and emphasizing the Jihad of Explanation are other key concepts in his thought.
