The Shia Imams in the Words of Preeminent Sunni Scholarship

The Shia Imams in the Words of Preeminent Sunni Scholarship


Author: Masoud Emami

Translated by: Blake Archer Williams

Published by Lantern Publications, Australia


The author has painstakingly combed through and scrupulously examined a vast corpus of Sunni sources, and has provided numerous testimonials from modern as well as ancient Sunni scholars for each of the Imams in turn, including acclaim from the Associates (sahabah) and Followers (tabe’en). The incredibly high praise lavished on the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt unearthed shows that love of and respect for the Imams is indeed the common ground that binds the Sunni and Shi‘a branches of Islam. The prospective Sunni or Shi‘a reader will be left with a more exalted view of the Imams after reading this fascinating collection of authentic and authoritative historical reports.
