Islamic Theology

When the author was 18 years old, in answer to the many theological problems that preoccupied youthful minds, he published his first book on Islamic theology. Enthusiastic reception of his Arabic language text (Defending the Faith) led to its translation and publication in the Persian language. He later went on to teach Islamic Theology at the College of Jurisprudence in Najaf, the Islamic Seminary in Mashhad and the International Colleges for Islamic Studies in London. His long experience in teaching the various aspects of this subject is apparent in this work. Unlike similarly titled works, which are mainly concerned with the historic contributors to the subject, this book presents the principles of the creed - that is, what Muslims actually believe - according to the schools of theology of the Twelver Shi'ah, the Ash'arites, and the Mu'atazilites. He is currently the Dean of the International Colleges for Islamic Studies, London, and Professor of Islamic Law and Philosophy at the Islamic College, London. He is also the Imam at Imam Khoei Islamic Centre. See more
