THE RIGHT PATH is a translation of Al Muraja' at, the famous book inspired by the questions of Shaykh Salim al Bishri to Sayyid 'Abd al Husayn Sharaf al Din. The Sayyid's response in the ensuing correspondence between the two men was charged with unparalleled enthusiasm and displayed vast knowledge that unveiled a clear and comprehensive historical and theological perspective of the true Islam.
The book consists of a series of letters in the form of questions and answers exchanged between Shaykh Salim Al-Bishri, Head of Al-Azher University at Cairo in early 20th century and Saiyed Sharafuddin Al-Musawi, an eminent shiÆi scholar of the time. The Shaykh initiated the discussion out of an earnest desire to investigate and understand the Shii point of view. Hence this valuable and great book explains, justifies and upholds the Raison dÆetre of Shiaism.P/B
