“O’ God, I begin exaltation with Your praise!” Those words appear at the beginning of Du’a al-Iftitah – a supplication taught to us by our beloved Imam al-Mahdi, may God hasten his return. He taught us to recite this blessed supplication every night in the Holy Month of Ramadan. Du’a al-Iftitah addresses a plethora of theological, spiritual, and ethical topics. Contemplation on its verses allows the believers to make the best of the Holy Month of fasting – building on their relationship with God Almighty. In this book, we will delve with Sayyid Muneer al-Khabbaz into the depths of this sublime supplication to understand its pure spiritual, social, ethical, and educational teachings. We hope that this book will aid the reader in finding a source of spiritual connection in Du’a al-Iftitah, especially in light of the spiritually deprived climate of our contemporary world.

This book comes in five chapters. The first chapter of this volume studies the notion of
remembrance (dhikr) in Islam and lays the foundations for exploring the meaning, functions and outcomes of salawat. The second chapter studies the notion of salawat in the light of Qur’anic verses. Different meanings of ṣalāt and its plural, ṣalawāt, are distinguished. The relation between salawat and divine salutations and blessings are discussed. It is also explained who are expected to receive salutations from Allah (swt) and His messenger along with a discussion about the benefits of sending salwat on the Prophet (s). The third chapter attempts to unpack the meaning of salwat. In addition to being a powerful and effective invocation, salawat is also a kind of greeting and prayer for and by the Prophet (s). The fourth chapter studies the significance of salawat in the light of Islamic narrations. Based on hadith, salawat brings light and forgiveness, helps with acceptance of supplications and removes hypocrisy from one’s heart. The fifth and final chapter asserts some methods and manners of sending salwat.

"There are a very few that can match the depth of Du'a 'Arafah of Imam Husayn. Whatever secrets there are about tawhid, knowing God, the truth, 'ubudiat, and the reality of existence are mentioned in this du'a. The du'a is very comprehensive yet very concise. The text is not easy to understand as the Imam was in a very special state and only his companions were around him." Ayatullah Shojaei (the student of Allamah Tabatabai.)
We hope this commentary helps you unlock the beautiful gems reserved in the du'a for those who come to it with an open heart. This du'a can change your life, and fill your moments with God's presence and love. All it asks for is your attention.
The terms cussing (sabb); swearing (shatam); and malediction (laʿn), in their truest forms, represent the totality of enmity, and the appreciation of these terms [and their usage] has been present right from the initial stages of human existence and historically speaking, there have been individuals, who in order to show their enmity in regards to events which transpired in the past, or individuals who lived in long-ago times, who have demonstrated these terms vividly in their lives. Even after the introduction of Islām, the usage and real-world practice of these terms was common and there were some individuals, who in order to express their aversion and detestation for the acts of others resorted to cussing and malediction. As these practices were commonplace, it is important for us to analyze these terms from an Islāmic perspective and to carry out an in-depth investigation into them.
Ali b. Abi Talib, son-in-law and cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, first Shi'i imam and fourth caliph, is a monumental figure within the Islamic tradition. But despite the immense importance of Imam Ali, there is a dearth of literature in Western languages about his life and thought. This book - the first serious engagement in English with the intellectual principles underpinning his teachings - is therefore a welcome and valuable addition to the sources available. It consists of three parts. Part one introduces the person of Ali in a general manner, and focuses particularly on the spiritual and ethical content of his teachings. Part two evaluates Ali's 'sacred conception of justice'. Part three addresses the theme of spiritual realization through the remembrance of God, the central mystical practice of the Sufis. "Justice and Remembrance" will be of great value to students and scholars of Islamic thought, as well as to those interested in the relationship between spirituality and ethics.

As human beings, we are vulnerable to committing mistakes and are constantly being tempted to sin, however our greatness lies in the fact that when we do fall into a state of heedlessness of our Creator, we spiritually wake ourselves up and turn back towards Him in repentance. In this regard, the Quran presents God as being the Most Merciful and Oft-Forgiving; and through the countless narratives of the past generations, shows us that it is never too late to turn back towards Him in penitence.
This work introduces one of the most powerful and practical lessons in repentance to the Most High narrated through the heart-wrenching story of Prophet Yunus (Jonah) in the Noble Quran. Through studying this Prophet of God and fully understanding one of the most beautiful recommended prayers which the believers are encouraged to perform every night, known as Salat al-Ghufaylah, we learn one of the ways that we too can come out of spiritual-heedlessness of the All-Mighty Creator and obtain His pleasure and proximity.
