Its implications are so far reaching that entire schools of thought were built and distinguished based on their differing views on the subject. How do Shia Muslims understand imamate? Why is it a foundational and integral part of the Shia creed? What does it mean for a Shia Muslim today?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis Eminence Ayatollah Sayyid Jafar al-Hakeem, professor of advanced studies in the Islamic Seminary, answers these questions and more in this book. A core concept shapes the framework presented in this book - that prophethood and imamate are the immaculate embodiment of humankind's theoretical and practical reason. The countless noble traditions and Quranic verses addressing imamate are understood within this light. This gives rise to a clear understanding of our practical responsibility towards these foundational concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mainstay Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943393114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Ayatollah Sayyid Jafar Al-Hakeem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075570303157,"sku":"9781943393114","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8b75552a-dbc3-432f-9dbb-b8a5b8cc0106.jpg?v=1691468923","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/divine-leadership-a-rational-approach-9781943393114","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
