Publisher's Synopsis
It could safely be said that Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Shirazi is unique amongst Muslim religious scholars and in particular religious authorities to produce an outstanding work on such issues in terms of quality and quantity. The thoughts and ideas expressed by Ayatollah Shirazi in these works prompted the author, Muhammad Ghaleb Ayub, to compose this book to introduce the reader to those views. This book was originally published in Arabic some ten years ago. Needless to say the topic of politics and government are one of many topics covered by Ayatollah Shirazi, and since the publication date of this book in Arabic, there have been further developments and publications by Ayatollah Shirazi. At the time of writing this foreword, the list of works by Ayatollah Shirazi has topped staggering 1060 books and papers on many different subjects. Almost all of these titles are in Arabic, a few in Farsi, and only a few titles of this long list have been translated to English, as well as other languages.
