The Role of Taqlid in Human Life

The practice of Taqlid or Òobeying expert opinionÓ is an inescapable necessity within human society. Through imitating the eminent scholars and academic authorities within each field of study, truth and law become the supreme criteria of action within a given human, and especially Islamic community

Today, when we have no access to the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) who are the immaculate guides and we continue to languish within a period of occultation, the task of providing people with Islamic laws is carried on by the Ulam_ (religious scholars) and the Mar_jiÕ (supreme authorities in Islamic law)

This book is produced based on a series of lectures given by Ayatullah Misbah Yazdi aimed at elucidating the necessity and parameters of Taqlid, or Òobeying expert opinionÓ, within human life.

Sirat Publications is delighted to announce that this book is available now with a brand new look.
