Current Issues: A Shi'ah Reflection

Author: Ali Hussain Al-Hakim | Paperback | 559 pages 

Ayatollah Ali Al-Hakim's 'Current Issues: A Shi'ah Reflection' aims at providing guidelines concerning a number of important doctrinal questions for a predominantly young, educated readership living in the West. Some of its articles discuss. from a jurisprudential point of view and in a clear style, topics of social life, such as hijab, and flexible marriage, while others are profound well-structured articles on subjects such as embracing Islam in a non-Muslim environment, Feminism and globalisation. The book is a welcome addition to an important genre which seems to have been neglected since Professor Nasr's 'A Young Muslim's Guide to the Modern World (1994).'
