A Collection of Supplications and Devotional Rituals Attributed to Imam al-Mahdi (as)
Compiled by Shaykh Isa Ahari
Translated by Hamid Tehrani & Afzal Sumar
Allama Tabataba’i said, ‘I once had a discussion with Henri Corbin about supplications. I asked him, ‘What do you do when you feel that you need to supplicate?’… Corbin said, ‘I avail myself of the supplications reported from your Twelfth Imam. Since the person who has composed these supplications is alive, they inspire special fervour.’
— From Preface by Shaykh Isa Ahari
There are 42 supplications in this book. Each supplication has a note which explains how it originated from the 12th Imam (as) and reached his partisans (i.e., the Shi’a). All the notes appear as endnotes at the end of the book. Each note also provides information of the earlier works where the supplication is recorded. The work is, therefore, of benefit both for the laity and the scholars.
The following shows the supplications included in this edition, followed by the page number in the book:
1. The Supplication for Deliverance 1 2. The Supplication for Knowledge 3 3. The Supplication of the Unity of God 16 4. The Supplication of the Egyptian Alid 20 5.
