Abstract: (307 Views) |
Al-Sahifat al-Sajjadiyya is the oldest manual of supplications among other Islamic sources, and one of the seminal works of Islamic spirituality. This writing is here to introduce its annotated translation accompanied by another work attributed to Zayn al-Abidin (grandson of Imam Ali (p.b.u.h), "The Treatise on Rights". Together, the texts contribute significantly to the understanding of Islamic spirituality and the Muslim's standing in relation to God and the community, not only in the early period, but, given the widespread use of the Sahifa as a devotional guide, up to the present time. It is a book of prayers and sublimations but could be easily regarded as the best book of principles and values of Islam and in fact the humanity. |
