4. Ethical Teachings and Social Justice

Al-Qummi’s teachings are replete with ethical guidance aimed at fostering social justice. His understanding of Islam is deeply rooted in the principles of equity and compassion. He emphasized the importance of advocating for the marginalized and oppressed—a theme that resonates with the broader Islamic ethos.

In his discussions surrounding charity, altruism, and community welfare, al-Qummi innovatively linked personal piety with social responsibility. His assertions encourage adherents to not only cultivate their spiritual selves but also engage actively in societal reform, illustrating the holistic approach of Shia teachings toward individual and collective existence.
