Ayatullah Burujirdi, a preeminent figure in Twelver Shia Islam during the mid-20th century, has left an indelible mark on Islamic scholarship and jurisprudence. His contributions span a multitude of subjects within Islamic sciences, ranging from fiqh (jurisprudence) to philosophy, theology, and ethics. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to the works of Ayatullah Burujirdi, categorizing them into distinct domains to highlight the various dimensions of his intellectual legacy.
1. Fiqh (Jurisprudence)
Fiqh, serving as the backbone of Islamic law, was a primary area of focus for Ayatullah Burujirdi. His profound understanding and innovative approach to jurisprudential issues made his works essential for both scholars and laypersons. Among his prominent works in this domain is the celebrated “Jami al-Maqasid,” which encapsulates critical discussions on the methodologies of deriving legal rulings. Through this text, he meticulously examines the sources of Islamic law, including the Qur’an, Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet), and the consensus of the jurists.
Another significant contribution is the multi-volume “Tafsir al-Mizan,” although traditionally regarded as a tafsir (exegesis of the Qur’an), it also delves into jurisprudential discussions influenced by certain Qur’anic verses. This cross-disciplinary work exemplifies Burujirdi’s ability to interlink theology and law, providing readers with a comprehensive perspective on legal issues as interpreted through the lens of the Qur’an.
