Al-Tariq

4. The Role of Community

Al-Tariq also accentuates the significance of the community in the spiritual journey. The idea that one’s path is not solitary but is intricately connected to the collective experience underscores the Shia belief in the importance of unity among believers. Communal gatherings, such as majalis (commemorative assemblies), play a crucial role in fostering solidarity and facilitating collective remembrance of the Imams and their sacrifices. These assemblies serve not only as a means of spiritual upliftment but as forums for discussing contemporary issues, thereby linking religious teachings with daily life.
