Ayatollah & Believers: Theological Issues, Husseini Rituals, and Jurisprudential Issues

His Eminence the Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Bashir Hussain Al-Najafy Translated By: Basim Jubair Kadhim & Saeed Mahdi Abdulraheem

Abstract:
Peace and blessings be upon the greatest prophet Muhammad and his immaculate family, and everlasting curse on their enemies until the Day of Judgement. This book is a translated version of the latest Arabic questions that have been sent to and answered by His Eminence the Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Basheer Hussein Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life). These are regarded as fatwas in the topic of the Islamic faith; believers can benefit from them in their daily life in all matters concerned. These fatwas have been translated into English to distribute to those who speak English or those who face difficulty in reading Arabic as they find the books of His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) hard to read. Accordingly, most of the Islamic terms and concepts are known to the respected reader, though such terms and concepts are translated. Certain terms are peculiar to the religion of Islam, a matter which necessitates transliterating and/or writing them in roman letters, not to mention that some of them are defined or paraphrased in the target language to have a closer meaning to the target reader.
