List of Works by Muhammad Ali Bihbahani

5. Political Engagement and Authority

During Bihbahani’s lifetime, the relationship between religious authority and political power was an area of intense discourse. His writings reflect a nuanced perspective on the role of the ulama (scholars) in public life. He advocated for the autonomy of religious scholars from governmental interference, arguing that true Islamic governance is predicated on justice and ethical leadership. Through his political treatises, Bihbahani challenges traditional power structures, emphasizing that the moral authority of the ulama must be preserved to ensure the welfare of the Shia community.
