Kitab al-irshad written by Shaykh Al-Mofid and as its title suggests, it is a book of guidance for whole of mankind. It sets out to name the twelve Shi'a Imams and briefly describes the circumstances of the Imamate of each Imam, the miracles performed by which they gave evidences of their Imamate, the virtues of each Imam, and the circumstances of the death of the Imams and the disappearance of the last Imam. It also gives an outline of the texts which the nominate Imams. The book is written to answer a request for guidance about the lives of the imams. Shaykh Al-Mofid says about the purpose of this book:
"I am recording what you have asked for, of the names of the Imams of guidance, the dates of their lives, as well as mentioning the places of their tombs, the names of their children and some of their stories which will be useful for knowledge of their circumstances, so that you may become as thoroughly acquainted with them as one who knows them and so that the difference between various claims and beliefs about them is clear. |
