| book description |

â€˜AlÄ«, son of AbÄ« á¹¬Älib, Muhammadâ€™s son-in-law and cousin, is the only Companion of the Prophet who has remained to this day the object of fervent devotion of hundreds of millions of followers in the lands of Islam, especially in the East. Based on a detailed analysis of several categories of sources, this book demonstrates that Shiâ€˜ism is the religion of the Imam, of the Master of Wisdom, just like Christianity is that of Christ, and that â€˜AlÄ« is the first Master and Imam par excellence. Shiâ€˜ism can therefore be defined, in its most specific religious aspects, as the absolute faith in â€˜AlÄ«: the divine Man, the most perfect manifestation of Godâ€™s attributes, simultaneously spiritual refuge, model and horizon. With contributions by Orkhan Mir-Kasimov & Mathieu Terrier Translated from French by Francisco JosÃ© Luis & Anthony Gledhill
