"In an hour of a rising consciousness of Husayn as a singular paradigm of justice who transcends all religious and political barriers, Shojaei's work is a welcome addition to the growing corpus about the Imam." - Christopher Clohessy (Catholic priest, lecturer and author on Shi'i Islam)

Fourteen centuries ago on the plains of Karbala, the martyrdom of Husayn, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, his family members and his loyal companions took place. It was a calamity of such cosmic proportions that all other tragedies in human history pale in comparison to it. 

Since then, Husayn has remained an icon of resistance for all Muslims and even non-Muslims around the world in their fight against the oppressors of their times. Even Mahatma Ghandi professed that he learned from Husayn how to resist colonialism.

This book evokes the sad passages of that tragedy and explains why the bond between the lovers of Husayn and his legacy has gone from strength to strength in history to the point that in our time every year tens of millions from all over the world flock to his shrine to renew their pact with him and declare their disavowal of tyrants in any place or any era. 

Seyyed Mehdi Shojaei has published over 100 works such as short stories, plays, novels, screenplays, satirical fiction and children's stories. As a trailblazer in the field of modern religious literature, he has left his indelible imprint on contemporary Iranian culture. 

Ali Vazirian is a graphic designer, art director and painter whose work has been exhibited around the world. He is also an award winning director and screenplay writer who has served as a jury at many film festivals.

Islamic Perspectives on God and (Other) Monotheism(s) examines the rich and often contested discourse surrounding the belief in God's oneness. Despite being a foundational tenet of faith, this doctrine has been the subject of intense debate across Islamic history, with scholars disagreeing on its precise nature, implications, and theological boundaries. Bringing together leading experts in theology, philosophy, and religious studies, this volume explores how different Islamic traditions have understood God's uniqueness. It addresses key debates surrounding divine attributes, God's relation to creation, and the problem of religious language, alongside the enduring tensions between philosophical reasoning and scriptural interpretations. The book also highlights intra-Muslim disagreements on the meaning of God's oneness, from disputes between Sunni and Shia scholars to competing perspectives within kalām, legal thought, and philosophical theology.

As the first in a three-part series on core Islamic doctrines, this volume offers a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the belief in divine unity, shedding light on both historical and contemporary discussions. Essential for scholars, students, and those interested in Islamic thought, it showcases the complexity of a doctrine that unites Muslims in belief yet remains a site of deep intellectual and theological engagement.

Part of the Islamic Reference Series books by Shaykh Dr. Mohammad Ali Shomali.

This book is part of ideological collection of “Youths and Truths” by Ayatullah Ibrahim Amini based on years of delving into religious texts and sources, constant contact with the young generation and pondering over ideological and educational issues.

The book before you is the first of its kind. It has elevated the genre of Prophetic stories to new heights. Rather than simply collecting and translating scripture and traditions, God’s Emissaries: Adam to Jesus presents a comprehensive, theologically sound, captivating, and believable set of stories. It portrays God’s prophets as the heroes they were, possessed of the most stellar of human traits, exemplary in every aspect of their being.

God’s Emissaries weaves together every Qur’anic verse and every plausible tradition that has come down to us from Prophet Muhammad and his family into an epic story of God’s tireless efforts to guide humankind.

Does God exist? If yes, then why can’t we see Him? If we can’t see him then how can we be sure of His existence? If God exists, then why did He create the universe and what is the purpose and goal of my life? If God is all powerful, then how can we have free will? If we don’t have free will then how can He hold us responsible for our actions? There is so much suffering and evil in this world that a merciful and powerful God seems improbable. These and many other similar questions cross our minds at least at some point in our life. Some say that in this era, science can explain how the universe came into existence and how life evolved on earth, giving science the status of an idol and rendering believe in a Creator unnecessary. Science gives us facts and we should follow reason rather than revelation. We can be good to others without a need to follow a particular religion. Moreover, there are many religions and people generally follow the religion of their upbringing. How can one religion be better than others, or else it will be unfair to the rest? In “God and god of science” debut author, syed hasan raza jafri presents a world view based on monotheism and attempts to answer some of these challenging questions. Drawing from revelation, philosophy, mysticism and modern scientific knowledge, Dr. Jafri synthesizes a world view that is bound to challenge your perspective about the reality of existence. This book will change your understanding not only about your life but also about yourself.

Al-Kafi is the most comprehensive collection of traditions from the formative period of Shi‘i scholarship. It is the fruit of Shaykh al-Kulayni’s lifelong labor to collect, vet, sort and compile traditions from Prophet Muhammad and his family. Its 35 books and more than 15,000 traditions cover the full gamut of Islamic knowledge, and it has been a primary source for the Shi‘ah ever since the beginning of the Major Occultation. 

ITI’s work offers not only a precise translation of the text of al-Kafi, but a detailed commentary that aims to uncover each tradition’s meaning and implications and to place it in the broader context of Islamic teachings. The goal is to make the traditions accessible to non-specialists and to help them find guidance through the traditions.

Book III: God and His Oneness documents the history of debates around God’s existence and His attributes and helps us to know how to think about God and how not to think about Him.
