Synopsis

Text in English & Arabic. This is a collection of narrations from the honourable Prophet of Islam and the Twelve Imams (AS). This compendium of Shi'a a hadith aims at traditions which are central to understanding the teachings of the Holy Qur'an and the ethical foundations of Islam. The ten-volume edition, for which the present volume serves as an abridged edition, was first published in March 1983 in Arabic. The remarkable reception of Mizan al-Hikmah by researchers in the Islamic world shows a keen interest of the new generation of scholars in the pure knowledge of Islam. To simplify the use of this collection, a selection of its most important narrations was published in 1987. This book offers the translation of this Arabic selection and has undergone several years of appraisal and reappraisal by a group of translators at the Islamic College in London in order to make the work accessible to a wider audience.
