Jawad Falaturi

Central to Shia theology is the concept of Tawhid, the oneness of God. Falaturi ardently emphasizes this principle, advocating for an understanding that transcends mere monotheism. Tawhid, as explicated by Falaturi, encompasses not only the singularity of God but also His sovereign attributes. This leads seamlessly to another core doctrine of Shia belief: the Imamate. Falaturi posits that the Imams are indispensable to the understanding of Tawhid, acting as divinely appointed guides whose wisdom enables adherents to navigate the path of righteousness.

3. Ethical Framework: Morality in Shia Thought

In exploring ethics, Falaturi’s teachings intersect with the Qura’nic dictates and the prophetic traditions, evolving into a robust moral framework. He underscores the principle of justice (‘adl), which permeates every aspect of social interaction and individual behavior. Is not the quest for justice a universal aspiration? His emphasis on ethical behavior not just as a personal endeavor but as a communal responsibility challenges followers to engage in social advocacy, elevating morality to a collective endeavor.
