This is the first book of its kind, in which concise and yet engaging biographies of the fourteen ‘Ma’soomeen’ (‘inerrant ones’) are presented in the compass of a single volume, together with beautiful photographs of the mausoleums and mosques connected with the noble personages in question.
Supplications (Du`a) Paperback
£7.00In the present volume, the famous ‘Du’a Kumayl’ takes pride of place, a supplication that is recited every Thursday evening in countless mosques throughout the Muslim world, a practice that goes back several centuries.
A careful reading of this and the other prayers given here does more to evoke the sense of the spirituality underlying the Shi’a tradition than many formal treatises and expositions; they serve to enliven one’s sense of what it means to be immersed in a tradition dominated by the towering figures of the Ahl al-Bayt,(‘People of the Prophetic Household’).
