Author: Dr. Ali Shariati
The story of misery brought upon Abuzar, one of the most selfless devotee of the Prophet and his Ahlul-bayt, for whom the Prophet says "Sky never sheltered nor earth has ever offered refuge to a person more truthful than Abu-Dhar." | | | 2. |  Fatima Is Fatima
Author: Dr. Ali Shariati
Translator: Laleh Bakhtiar
...... Shariati takes us to the heart of Shi'ism - Fatima, the beloved daughter of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He describes the woman we could not see, the one we thought we knew but only after his guidance do we become aware of the fact that although we related each day directly to her spirit, she had been lost as a model for our daily lives. That is, we had an emotional attachment to her inner essence but we had removed her form. Shariati takes us to Fatima. He begins with the social customs of the Arabian Peninsula before her birth where according to custom, female children were buried alive at birth in order to save the family from the disgrace of having an unsuitable son-in-law. It was the revolutionary message of Islam which did away with this custom. God reveals through the Quran that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had been given the abundant river of Paradise and through that river, he shall have abundant progeny although according to Arab beliefs at that time, a man without a son is called 'cut-off'. How could it be? The father of a daughter will have abundant progeny? | | | 3. |  Fatima The Gracious
Compiler: Abu - Muhammad Ordoni
This is a biography of Fatima az Zahra a.s. daughter of Prophet of Islam (saww), upto the time of Prophets death. Because of the extremely sensitive period which followed Prophets death, and the everlasting effects which the events thereafter left upon the Islamic ideology and the structure of various Muslim sects and issues, the compiler deemed necessary to study various historical books, especially those which dealth with Lady Fatima Zahra's life, to come up with the most accurate information regarding the prime of the post period of the Prophets death. Moreover, various sermons which were delivered during those events, were intentionally included in the book especially Fatima's speeches so as to allow researchers to study the said historical events independently. In the end, we would like to mention that this book will be very useful not only to information seeking readers, but also to researchers and history students. | | | 4. |  A Glance at the Life of the Holy Prophet of Islam
Author: Dar Rah Haqq's Board of Writers
Translator: N. Tawheedi
The book starts with a look at the pre-Islamic world order. It deals with not only the events that occurred during the life of the Prophet, but also the philosophy and thinking behind the Prophet's actions.

Author: Dr. Ali Shariati
Translator's: Ali Behzadnia & Najla Denny
This 20th century masterpiece by one of the Muslim world's best known scholars is a wonderful spiritual preparation for those intending to perform the Pilgrimage. It differs from other books about the hajj in that it does not simply describe the rituals in detail, but rather it deals with the underlying philosophy behind them. It is important for those going for hajj to understand the concepts discussed in this book so it can be a much more meaningful experience. History will judge Shariati's Hajj as one of the most important documents of Islamic renaissance. | | | 6. |  Nahjul Balagha (Peak of Eloquence)
Author: Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)
This collection is the most reputed collection of Imam Ali a.s., which was compiled by Sayyid Radhi towards the 4th century of Hijra. This mode of collection and compilation is in itself enough to convince an unbiased person that Sayyid Radhi's own style of writing or power of expression has nothing to do with it, but that he has confined himself to collecting Amirul Mumineen's utterances from various places and putting them together. | | | 7. |  Hajj - The Islamic Pilgrimage
