Liberated Soul: In Memory of Sayyid Hashim Haddad

A Translation of Ruh-i Mujarrad

By: Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Husayni Tihrani

Liberated Soul, a translation of the Persian work Ruh-i Mujarrad, is a tribute to a less-known, yet profound Muslim mystic of the twentieth century, Sayyid Hashim Haddad (1900-1984), written soon after his death by one of his top students in spirituality. The author introduces and expounds on Haddad’s character and principles as he discusses his journeys to Karbala to meet his spiritual master. The book also includes a rich selection of Arabic and Persian mystical poems which have been elegantly rendered into English, enabling the reader to have a taste of the mystical tradition. The book features an extensive section on Ibn ʿArabi’s Shiʿi inclinations, and his theory of wahdat al-wujud. There was a man who did not want to lose his ‘self’. So he pierced a gourd and hung it around his neck with a string so that he would be able to find and identify himself… Until one night, when he was travelling with a friend, his friend got up in the middle of the night, gently took the gourd off his neck, put it around his own, and went back to sleep…. - From the book A superb translation of a major work on the gnostic dimension of Shiʿi Islam. Rarely has such eloquent, and credible, tribute been paid by a disciple to his master. - Prof. Hamid Algar, University of California, Berkeley Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tihrani was certainly one of our contemporary mystics. His Ruh-i Mujarrad is surely accessible to everyone. - K. M. Haqiqi, former student of Ayatollah Ansari Hamadani and Ayatollah Najabat Shirazi I found Haddad to be a paragon of annihilation in God, and I found myself like a child in his mother’s embrace. He trained me with his breath, his intimations, and his spiritual manipulations. Once I saw him, I couldn’t see anyone else. Even now, many years after his death, I seek assistance from his noble soul and benefit from his unending effusions. In one word: Haddad is to be imbibed, not described! - M. S. Kumayli Khurasani, former student of Sayyid Hashim Haddad

Shining Sun: In Memory of 'Allamah Tabataba'i

A Translation of Mihr-i Taban

By: Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Husayni Tihrani

Shining Sun is a tribute to the life and thought of the renowned Islamic scholar, Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba’i, written soon after his death by one of his students. Shining Sun includes an overview of Tabataba’i’s life and transcriptions of discussions between Tabataba’i and his students. These discussions cover history, philosophy, mysticism, theology, and the Qur’an. Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba’i (1902-1981), commonly referred to as the most learned (‘Allamah), was a prominent Muslim scholar who breathed new life into the Shi‘a seminaries by establishing courses on the interpretation of the Qur’an and by introducing a novel method of Qur’anic interpretation. He was a master of Islamic philosophy and a model of spirituality. "‘Allamah Tabataba’i is undoubtedly the major Shi`a thinker of modern times, and his impact on Persian philosophy and theology is incomparable. Anyone who approaches his work is bound to be impressed by it, and the fertility of his thought can be seen in the considerable contributions that his many students have continued to make to Islamic philosophy. It is wonderful to see the Persian tradition of respecting great personalities in writing continuing in modern times." - Oliver Leaman, University of Kentucky, USA

Kernel of the Kernel

Concerning the Wayfaring and Spiritual Journey of the People of Intellect (Risāla-yi Lubb al-Lubāb dar Sayr wa Sulūk-i Ulu'l Albāb) A Shiʿi Approach to Sufism

By: Sayyid Muḥammad Ḥusayn Ṭabāṭabā'ī

Kernel of the Kernel is an authoritative work on Sufism from a Shi'i perspective that is not only fascinating, but also contains much practical advice. In addition to providing a theoretical discussion of spiritual wayfaring, it is also the account of a personal fifty-year spiritual journey by Sayyid Muḥammad Ḥusayn Ṭabāṭabā'ī, a renowned Iranian-Shii scholar and spiritual master. In Kernel of the Kernel, Ṭabāṭabā'ī discusses the doctrinal foundations of spiritual wayfaring as well as processes and stages that an aspiring wayfarer must go through in order to attain spiritual realization. He discusses the relation between the exoteric and esoteric aspects of Islam and clearly demonstrates that these inward and outward dimensions of Islam complement each other. The book also provides information on the Quranic origins of Sufism and its special relations with Shi'ism as well as the role of Shi'i Imams in the spiritual realization of a sincere wayfarer.
