Lessons from the Thought of Āyatullāh Shahīd Sayyid Muḥammad Bāqir al-Ṣadr

This volume presents Sayyid Muḥammad Bāqir al-Ṣadr’s integrated vision of Islam as a complete and coherent worldview—one that unites belief, worship, morality, and social order. It explores the relationship between God, the human being, and the world, showing how faith provides both meaning and method for the building of civilization. Al-Ṣadr traces the path from humanity’s innate recognition of the Creator to the divine guidance revealed through prophecy, and from individual responsibility in worship to the collective duty of establishing justice and truth on earth. Drawing upon the Qurʾān and the teachings of the Prophet (ṣ) and his family (ʿa), he articulates Islam’s balance between reason and revelation, freedom and duty, material progress and spiritual growth. With clarity and depth, this work presents Islam as a dynamic system capable of nurturing the intellect, purifying the soul, and shaping a just, ethical, and purposeful human society.
