The event of Mubahela stands as one of the most profound and defining moments in early Islamic history—a moment in which truth was distinguished from falsehood through divine command. Mubahela offers a clear and thoughtful exploration of this event, revealing its spiritual significance, historical context, and the elevated status of the individuals chosen by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to accompany him.

About the Book
Mubahela provides a structured overview of the Qur’anic verse of mubāhalah (mutual invocation for God’s curse upon the liars: a formal spiritual confrontation used to establish truth) and the historical encounter between the Prophet and the Christian delegation of Najran. Drawing from classical riwāyah (narrative transmission: reports documenting historical events, sayings, and interpretations) and early Islamic sources, the book explains why the Prophet selected Imam Ali (a.s), Lady Fatimah (a.s), Imam Hasan (a.s), and Imam Husayn (a.s) to stand beside him during this divinely commanded event. It highlights their spiritual purity, the theological implications of the event, and its lasting role in shaping Muslim understanding of the Ahl al-Bayt’s status.

Rather than focusing solely on historical detail, the work emphasizes the ethical and doctrinal lessons that emerge from Mubahela.

Muntakhab al- Asar Volume 3

This book has dealt with the study of  the Barnabas Gospel regarding its credit and subjects.

The Role of Holy Imams (A.S) in the Revival of Religion /Vol 2

As can be inferred from the title of the book, the current writing will cover a special type of knowing the Almighty God, called "Innate gnosis". Although, innate gnosis is not the only way of knowing God, yet it enjoys special importance in the teachings of the divine prophets and according to one authentic source, it is the only path to true gnosis of God. Notwithstanding that the Noble Quran and traditions from Ahl al-bayt (A.S.) have laid great stress on matters concerning belief and ma’arif (gnostic knowledge), it is unfortunate that we have but little acquaintance with them. Ma’refat fitri (innate gnosis) is among this very Ma’aref (gnostic knowledge). Undoubtedly, much has been spoken on GFitrat” (innate disposition) and Ma’refat fitri but what is commonly inferred from them is quite different from that which has come down in the Quran and sunnah.

The extent this present book has succeeded in fulfilling these requirements and recommendations is to be judged by the respected readers, scholars and researchers. The author expects to gain further by the recommendations and criticisms of these dear readers and seek their services in explaining the Islamic Ma’aref (gnostic knowledge).
