A General Look At Rites

A GENERAL LOOK AT RITES

Rites are considered among the matters of worship whose depths cannot be fathomed by humans, nor their philosophy be completely comprehended nor the purpose behind their legislation understood.

Rather, the believer must perform them as means of submitting and seeking nearness to Allah, to Whom belong Might and Majesty. Man has achieved tremendous scientific advancement.

 This has caused the new generation to be inquisitive about the logic and aims from such parrot worship.

The renowned Muslim scholar as-Sayyid Muhammad Baqir as-Sadr has answered this question in this invaluable booklet A General Look at Rites.We have already given a brief introduction of the author in the foreword of his other book namely The Revealer, the Messenger and the Message in its English translation.

We praise the Almighty Allah Who be¬ stowed on us the success of translating and publishing this book.

We pray to Him to help us continuously in accomplishing our aims in the service of His cause. He is the Supreme Master, the Supreme Helper.
