Ijtihad Network Being Wise and Faithful Muslim in the Contemporary World
This booklet is a record of a series of lectures the late author had delivered in gatherings held in Tehran for the annual commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.).
The discussions in these three lectures revolve around the concepts of both immigration (hijra) and jihad (struggle, or fighting back).
If we had come across this book twenty or thirty years ago, we would not have paid much attention to it. This is particularly true in the current climate where foreign lands, especially the Western world, have become the residence of millions of Muslims, the majority of whom have left their homelands to escape persecution and save their faith.
Therefore, immigration and jihad have become among the important topics that occupy the minds of Muslims in this time and age. It is not only because the subject is subtle, but a source of worldly aggravation.
It is for these reasons that we have decided to translate it into English, to make it an addition to the Motahhari series published by Dar Al-Hadi, London, which has been created as a result of consultation with Hujjatul Islam Sayyid Jawad Shahristani, the Chairman of Alul Bayt (a.s.) Foundation for Reviving the Heritage.
It has been decided that the translation of this work be among the first books that deserve to be translated, not only because it is an important one, but because of its significance among the circles of young men and women.
In the end, I pray to the Almighty to bestow success on us in both this world and the hereafter. I would like to express my gratitude to Najim al-Khafaji for his translation and Hayder al-Khoei for his help.
