List of Works by Sayyid Hasan al-Sadr

In “Al-Shi’a wa itikadatuhum,” al-Sadr elucidates the nuanced beliefs and practices of Shia Islam, offering a counter-narrative to prevalent misconceptions. His thorough elucidation fosters a richer understanding of the spiritual and doctrinal depth within the Shia tradition. Rather than viewing Shia beliefs as sectarian, al-Sadr posits them as integral to the larger Islamic tapestry. Herein lies a provocative thought: in an age characterized by sectarian divides, can empathy and understanding prevail through earnest scholarship?

4. Al-Da’wah al-Islamiyyah

The work “Al-Da’wah al-Islamiyyah” tackles the concept of Islamic outreach. Al-Sadr emphasizes the imperative of engaging non-Muslims through dialogue rather than proselytization. This work critiques rigid methodologies that often alienate rather than unite. Here, the modern reader is challenged: how can the principles of al-Sadr inspire contemporary methods of engagement in a world rife with division?
