Twelve and a half centuries ago, Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) set down, in a letter to his student Mufaddal ibn
'Umar, his discourse with an atheist. Taking the humble haleela—the myrobalan fruit the man was grinding into medicine—as
the centre of his argument, the Imam builds, step by reasoned step, a proof of the existence and oneness of God drawn entirely from
observation and intellect, without appeal to scripture or threat.
This first complete illustrated English edition presents that masterwork of rational theology in a fresh literary translation by
Shah Asad Rizvi, with the scientific annotations of Muhammad Ali Syed and newly commissioned colour illustrations, diagrams and
hand-coloured botanical engravings.
In these pages:
A short, profound classic of Islamic theology and the dialogue between faith and reason—for the believer, the seeker and the
sceptic alike.
