A propos de cet article

Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Muhammad-Husayn Kashif al-Ghita' (1877-1954) was a Shiite jurist, philosopher, author, teacher, and lecturer. He was one of the vanguards of the Islamic movement in the last century. He was a respected religious authority, profound intellectual, and reviver of the faith. What separated him from many others was his belief that the Shia and the Sunni needed to unite against their common enemy. He stressed the importance of re-integrating the fragmented Ummah of the Prophet (S). His thoughts were not limited to his speeches, but through his many visits across the Muslim world, he strove to promote greater unity between Sunni and Shia scholars. He believed that it was only through forming common theological and political understanding that Muslims would be able to effectively defend themselves against the onslaught of Zionism and imperialism. Kashif al-Ghita' wrote nearly 80 books on religious sciences such as jurisprudence, authority and hadith, including this. OCLC locates copies at SOAS, Australia National Island Library, and University of Basel.
