List of Works by Ali b. Musa b. Jafar b. Tawus

Integral to his works are Tawus’s moral exhortations. He delineates virtues, such as justice, compassion, and humility, with a clarity that is both compelling and transformative. In “Al-Maqsad,” he emphasizes the necessity of establishing justice within oneself and society. This work serves not merely as a book of ethics but as a clarion call for self-assessment and moral rectitude that transcends cultures and eras.

Moreover, Tawus’s allegorical references to nature serve as instructive metaphors for ethical living. He weaves the imagery of the river, the mountain, and the celestial bodies into his moral narratives, encouraging adherents to aspire toward resilience, steadfastness, and elevation in character. Just as the eagle soars high above the tumult of the earth, so too must individuals rise above pettiness and strife.
