Al-Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr

Through his writings, al-Sadr elucidates the concept of khums (a form of taxation peculiar to Shia Islam), advocating for its proper application as a means to support the less fortunate and bolster communal welfare. His teachings reject the notion of unfettered capitalism, favoring an economy where social responsibility and ethical considerations guide economic practices.

Educational Reforms

Al-Sadr’s vision extends to the realm of education, where he emphasizes the imperative of cultivating a generation of scholars who embody both scholarly rigor and ethical integrity. He advocates for an educational framework that integrates religious teachings with contemporary knowledge, thereby equipping students to address modern challenges while remaining steadfast in their faith.
