Al-Ihtijaj ala ahl al-lijaj (book)

One of the primary subjects tackled in Al-Ihtijaj is the intricate notion of divine justice (adl). Tibrisi delves into the attributes of God, arguing tirelessly against the anthropomorphic interpretations prevalent in various sects. His discourse employs logical deductions to reinforce the idea that divine justice cannot be compromised by human failings. This section is particularly enlightening, as it invites readers to engage with the abstract concept of justice in the divine context.

2. The Role of Imamate

Central to Shia belief is the concept of Imamate, the divinely appointed leadership succeeding the Prophet Muhammad. Tibrisi argues for the necessity of an infallible leader within the Islamic community. Al-Ihtijaj presents a litany of Quranic verses and Hadith that support this principle, bolstering the assertion that the Imams are essential for guiding the community following the Prophet’s demise. Readers will find in-depth analyses of historic instances where the Imams acted as arbiters of truth, exemplifying moral and spiritual rectitude.
