Islam

As soon as one takes a general look at the teachings of Islam, they become familiar with its principles, and understands its insights, they find themselves intensely attracted to it. Why? Because Islam transcends earthly values to the values of the heavens, rises above barriers of interest, language, racism, and nationalism, and is imbued with the power of progress, advancement, and prosperity, far removed from backwardness and decline.

Additionally, Islam is not merely a theory but a practical methodology and a way of life. It is a mistake to assume that Islam is an impractical theory; otherwise, the Lord of the universe would not have addressed people in general and believers in particular, calling them to honesty, fulfillment of trusts, rejection of oppression, and competition in doing good deeds. If Islam were only a theoretical concept, it would not have been able to attract nearly a quarter of the world's population to become Muslims.

Those who review the history of Islam will find that it was born over fourteen hundred years ago in a desert region suffering from poverty and deprivation, backwardness and decline, disease, and ignorance. Today, Islam's mention fills the ears of the world and has left a positive impact on generations, not only on Muslims but also on other nations, enabling it to extend its influence over many parts of the world.

This booklet serves as a pointer to this path, consisting of several talks by His Eminence, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Taqi al-Modarresi (may Allah preserve him). This booklet is prepared in this context for the benefit of everyone.
