Al-Amili frequently engages with the thoughts and writings of earlier and contemporary scholars. This intertextual dialogue enriches his work, as he situates his discussions within the broader spectrum of Islamic thought. Readers may find references to the works of great Shia scholars such as Al-Kulayni and Al-Tusi, illustrating how al-Amili both builds upon and critiques established theories and practices. Such engagement not only demonstrates his scholarly humility but also emphasizes the collaborative nature of knowledge construction in the Islamic tradition.
