Karbalāʾ: The School of Supreme Values [PRE-ORDER]

This book is a pre-order due to arrive by August 21 in shāʾAllāh. This date is subject to change without notice.

The Horizon of ʿĀshūrāʾ is an ongoing annual lecture series by Āyatullāh Sayyid Munīr al-Khabbāz that explores the ethical, theological, and socio-political legacy of Imām al-Ḥusayn (as) and the movement of Karbalāʾ. Each year builds upon the last, offering a cumulative vision of how the spirit of ʿĀshūrāʾ continues to illuminate questions of justice, reform, faith, and moral responsibility in the modern world. While rooted in the legacy of Imām al-Ḥusayn (ʿa) and the movement of Karbalāʾ, these lectures address a range of pressing issues confronting Muslims today.

Karbalāʾ: The School of Supreme Values presents twelve lectures by Āyatullāh Sayyid Munīr al-Khabbāz delivered during Muḥarram 1444 AH (2022 AD) in Norway. In this volume, Sayyid Munīr discusses the relationship between belief in the unseen and societal progress, the concept of freedom and human dignity, and how to address internal struggles such as anxiety and depression. He examines the influence of secular culture on Muslim lifestyles, the ethical and emotional dimensions of gender relations and family life, and the challenges of parenting in a changing world. Other lectures focus on Islamophobia, religious leadership, and the role of difference among scholars. Through the examples of Imām al-Ḥusayn (ʿa), Sayyidah Zaynab (ʿa), and the values embodied in the Karbalāʾ movement, these lectures offer practical insights for living with faith, responsibility, and clarity in an often confusing and demanding environment.
