The Ways of the Righteous Audiobook (Free)

Today there is more demand for information regarding the activities from the scholars than at any other time in yesteryear; there is a growing wish to interact with and study from religious scholars. Moreover, the degree of enthusiasm and anticipation areas demonstrate when either visiting or being been to by scholars, is quite profound.

Many people, however, feel distanced from Muslim scholars because of barriers of geography and language. Moreover, whilst many Muslims have heard of numerous about The Means of the Righteous scholarly figures and have actually read their functions or watched videos about them, the scholars are still known extremely superficially, as revered numbers attributed to a spot or to a specific family. It really is due to the general insufficient knowledge about the character and achievements of Muslim scholars that I decided to compile some insightful stories in the lives of our scholars, in an attempt to bridge the space between the Muslim community and these great personalities.

Inspired by the stories of Ayatullah Shahid Baqir al-Sadr’s reaction when watching Saddam’s thirsty guards (Web page 56) encircling his home and that of students requesting Ayatullah Sayyid Muhammad Husayni Shirazi what he would do if he had one day left to live, (Web page 72) I go about compiling stories from the various biographies and Arabic places already in circulation. I approached the offices of the scholars, their family and several scholars from the city, requesting their personal encounters in order to collect stories directly from their website and therefore, this series also includes a large proportion of previously unpublished tales.

Amongst the major goals of the series is to introduce the city to contemporary or recently deceased scholars, to eliminate the aforementioned obstacles and encourage a deeper understanding and bond with the general scholarly elite rather than a particular couple of. Thus, whilst there are some anecdotes from scholars of early decades, I’ve attempted to keep carefully the most the tales centred upon modern scholars.

Due to the nature of the work and the intended market, many of the stories have not been translated in their literal feeling but rather, the translations convey the essence and objectives of the tales.

An inspirational read for anyone who wants to learn about our pious scholars and how they applied their Islamic values in practice.
