| Description |
|
Backed with thorough and original research, this book is a study of Shi‘a Islam based mainly on the oldest historical sources. In this book, the author has attempted to reconstruct and present the development of an Islamic ideal in the form of Shi‘ism: that of a particular vision of religious leadership which derives its authority directly from the person of the Prophet (pbuh) and which therefore enjoys divine sanction in deciding all cases of conscience. |
