An excellent introduction to the major doctrines of Shi'i Islam, including an explanation of the Ahlul Bayt, infallibility, intercession, dissimulation, companions and wives of the Prophet, and other schools of Islamic thought. This book is a call to unite the Muslims since true unity stems from an understanding of each other's philosophies, not from keeping them secret. While the majority of Shi'a scholars and even average individuals keep many books belonging to other schools of thought in their libraries, few other Muslims take the time to read the original sources of Shi'a philosophy.
The writer has endeavored in this book to present the most controversial issues that distinguish Shi'a Islam in a simple manner understandable by all people, particularly our youth generation in the Western countries. To make this book accessible to all readers regardless of their school of thought, He has relied mainly on the Noble Quran and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) as reported in the books of narration (hadith).

Inquiries About Shia Islam

Discussions surrounding women in Islam are often shaped by polemics rather than careful analysis. A New Perspective Women in Islam re-examines foundational principles governing gender roles, rights, and responsibilities within Islamic thought.
About the Book
A New Perspective Women in Islam analyzes theological, legal, and social dimensions of women’s status in Islam. The book challenges reductionist narratives that equate justice with identical roles. Structured chapters explore spiritual equality, property rights, inheritance, education, and participation in public life. The text distinguishes between immutable principles and cultural practices that developed in specific historical contexts. It argues that misapplication of tradition should not be confused with doctrine itself. Analytical discussion evaluates contemporary feminist critiques alongside classical jurisprudence. Rather than framing the issue as confrontation, the book promotes principled clarification. Historical examples illustrate women’s scholarship, leadership, and economic agency within Islamic civilization. By integrating scriptural evidence with social analysis, the work presents balanced and structured re-evaluation of gender discourse.

Discovering Islam

Debates about women in Islam often oscillate between idealization and condemnation. Simplified narratives obscure historical diversity and interpretive nuance. A New Perspective: Women in Islam seeks to reexamine foundational texts and legal traditions in order to clarify the ethical and juridical principles that structure gender relations in Islamic thought.
About the Book
A New Perspective: Women in Islam revisits Qur’anic foundations, prophetic traditions, and classical jurisprudence concerning women’s rights and responsibilities. The book distinguishes between normative doctrine and culturally contingent practice, arguing that many restrictive customs emerged from historical conditions rather than scriptural mandates. It analyzes themes such as education, property ownership, marriage contracts, inheritance, political participation, and spiritual equality. By situating legal rulings within broader objectives of justice and social welfare, the work highlights the internal mechanisms within Islamic jurisprudence that allow reinterpretation and contextual application. The author also addresses contemporary reform debates, emphasizing methodological rigor over reactive argumentation. The goal is not apologetics but analytical clarity, demonstrating that Islamic legal discourse contains multiple interpretive trajectories shaped by social context and juristic reasoning.
