Aqa Buzurg Tehrani’s oeuvre is extensive, comprising numerous texts that encompass theology, history, ethics, and jurisprudence. Among his most notable works is “Al-Dharīʿah ilā Tasānīf al-Shīʿah,” a comprehensive bibliography of Shia literature that stands as a cornerstone in Shia scholarship. This encyclopedic endeavor cataloged, analyzed, and critiqued the vast array of Shia texts, serving as an invaluable resource for researchers and scholars alike.
Furthermore, his engagement in the field of jurisprudence is underscored by “Fawa’id al-‘Ulūm wa al-‘Ulamā,” a treatise exploring the significance of scholars in interpreting Islamic law. This work not only encapsulates his reverence for the scholars but also reflects his nuanced understanding of the crucial role that scholarly interpretation plays within Shia practices. Through this lens, Tehrani advocated for a dynamic and evolving jurisprudential discourse, emphasizing the necessity of adapting to contemporary contexts while remaining anchored in Islamic principles.
