The Truth About Al-Hussain’s Revolt

The book includes translations of the introductions of all of the five Arabic editions of the book. The introduction of the first Arabic version mentions the significance of dialogue: “after God had willed to create man… and made His plan public to the angels. The dialogue started by posing the question about the nature of man, his roles, and his negative and positive aspects.”
It is a summary of Islamic characteristics and basis of dialogue in Islam. The word itself is derived from the Greek word “dia” which means seeing things from the other’s lens. The book also explains how dialogue and dispute come about; clarifying that argument is an intrinsic quality of human nature, and that our life is a constant search for the ultimate truth. However, some types of arguments are rejected. After all, the main objective of dialogue in Islam is to show man the ultimate truth. In addition, at one point, man must practice the art of debate so as to defend the idea he is preaching.

Islam the Religion of Dialogue

The book is in the form of questions and answers based on fatwa of Ayatullah Al-Seestani, on the verses of Jurisprudence, that includes the matters of worship, financial transactions and man's personal status such as matrimonial matter

Jurisprudence Made Easy

Selection of the ans put to Ayatullah  Seestani regarding  prayer, Hajj, food, commodities, woman issues, reproduction, medical, ethical, science, entertainment, leisure, transactions & religious dues.

Current Legal Issues

This booklet is a record of a series of lectures the late author had delivered in gatherings held in Tehran for the annual commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.). The discussions in these three lectures revolve around the concepts of both immigration (hijra) and jihad (struggle, or fighting back).

Immigration and Jihad

This booklet has attempted to make the subject of science of Kalaam or (Scholastic Theology) accessible as well as seeking to be as concise as possible. It is not only introduces the science of kalaam to the reader but attempts to answer the questions on the subject as well. As such, questions like what is exactly the science of kalaam? What is it trying to achieve? What does it deal with? Why is it called by this name? And how did it come into.

Scholastic Theology (Kalaam)

In undertaking the translation of this booklet, Haqiqatun Nahdhal Hussainiya, The Truth About Al- Hussain's Revolt, by Martyr Ayatollah Murtadha Mutahhari, I have been keen on conveying the meaning to the English reader in standard English from the Arabic text that was translated from Farsi by Sadiq al-Baqqal.

I hope I have succeeded in this task. I also hope that this translation will benefit people who are interested in acquiring knowledge about Islamic topics.

It is noteworthy, however, that the booklet is a transcript of a sermon/lecture the late author had delivered in gatherings held in Tehran for the annual commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.). Thus, the reader may come across some repetitions that are typical of the style of delivery, although I have done my best to minimize these to a level that, I think, is acceptable.

Where I thought the meaning of the text would be enhanced or rendered more intelligible, I have put the additional words, which do not constitute part of the original text, between square brackets, thus []. I did the same with other pieces of information I have provided that are, in my judgement, beneficial to the reader.

On certain occasions, I felt the need to keep the Arabic word, which I enclosed between these ( ) brackets, alongside its English equivalent, so as to reinforce the meaning. In this translation, I relied on the Arabic edition, published by the International Relations Division, Organisation for Missions (Bunyad Bi'that), Tehran, Iran.

Finally, I have thought that the reader might benefit of some other aspects of the story of Imam Hussain's martyrdom, especially those dealing with the universal dimension of his message.

Thus, I have chosen excerpts from the Introduction to "Sunshine at Midnight (The Kerbala Epic)", a rhymed version of the story of Kerbala in English, by the late S.A. Mahdi, 1985. You will find these passages under the Introduction.
