One of Al-Murtada’s principal contributions to Shia theology is his systematic exposition of Imamate, which addresses the divine institution of leadership among Muslims. He articulates the necessity of the Imamate, emphasizing that it is not merely a political office but a divinely appointed position essential for maintaining the integrity of Islamic teachings. His interpretations argue for the unique status of the Imams, underscoring their infallibility and intellectual authority.
Moreover, Al-Murtada is known for his treatise on the principles of belief (Usul al-Din), where he delineates critical components such as Tawhid (the oneness of God), Justice (Adalah), Prophethood (Nubuwwah), Imamate, and Resurrection (Ma’ad). His logical and philosophical approach to these tenets not only enriches Shia scholasticism but also poses challenging counterarguments to rival Sunni positions.
