Description

The present work is a book in the Creedal Foundations of Waliyic Islam Series. With the exception of the first volume which contains about 60 pages of new material, the content of all eight of the books in this series have been taken from the much larger work Creedal Foundations of Waliyic Islam by Blake Archer Williams, and are in fact fascicles of this larger work which stand by themselves and have been separated in order to make the work available to a more general readership in single fascicle units.The series contains the following titles:1. Introduction to Waliyic Islam - Sacred Communities & their Covenantal Dispensations2. The Exclusivity of Providential Lordship - Its Rational and Scriptural Proofs3. Qoranic, Prophetic and Imamic Revelation4. Tansis - Scriptural Proofs of Divine Designation to the Investiture to Succession to the Prophet's ministry5. The Imamate I: Its Theological Bases6. The Imamate II: Its Historical Realities7. The Role of Feqhicity during the Era of the Occultation8. The 22 Proofs in Imam Khomeini's Islamic GovernanceCreedal Foundations of Waliyic Islam is an attempt at a comprehensive treatment of what is called Waliyic Islam, approached from the perspective of Shi'a Islam itself, as opposed to the perspective of orientalism or some other branch of the humanities, all of whose perspectives are ultimately philosophical in their underpinnings and bearings and therefore do not reflect the religion as it is understood by the clerisy of the religion itself, but do so from a perspective and ideological framework that is alien and indeed antithetical and at times hostile to it... Thus, in addition to its unique religious rather than academic, "objective" approach, what is specifically unique about Creedal Foundations of Waliyic Islam is that it provides, probably for the first time in English, the following:* A definition and exposition of what Imamic revelation is, and how the need for it continues after the occultation, and how the magisters fulfill the role of explicatory revelation in the absence of immaculate guidance.* A detailed definition of the theoretical aspects of the Imamate, together with a long chapter on the historical realities of what the imamate actually turned into and why.* A collection of all of the major instances of tansis or the divine investiture of Imam Ali to the succession to the Prophet and to the office of his imamate, sourced exclusively from Sonni hadith scripture. * The nature and function of feqhicity and the post-occultation authority of the Shi'a clerisy.* A summary of the 22 rational and scriptural proofs in Imam Khomeini's seminal 1970 book Islamic Governance - The theoretical framework and logic of how all of the above creedal beliefs relate to each other and flow together to give rise to the theory of velayat-e faqih.Blake Archer Williams' greatest contribution perhaps lies in the fact that his book (Creedal Foundations of Waliyic Islam, which is the basis of the series of the same name) provides the rational as well as scriptural theoretical framework and logic of how all of the above creedal beliefs relate to each other and build upon one another to give rise to the theory of Velayat-e Faqih.Volume 7, Feqhicity & the Post-Occultation Authority of the Shi'a Magisterium, starts with a survey of the evolution of feqhicity or the Shi'a magisterium. Ayatollah Javadi explains the key concepts of Feqh, Ejtehad, Marja'iat (Sources of Legal and Ritual Reference) & Taqlid (Emulation); while Allame Askari provides the prerequisites for being able authoritatively to refer to the Qoran and to Hadith scripture, and the reasons for the Prohibition against tafsir be'l-ra'y. Ayatollah Javadi goes on to explain why it is the Law of God that is Sovereign, and not the person of the faqih. The volume closes with a section on the difference between comprehensive authority and the hesba expedient.
