Hussain's Revolution


Book Description

In his book "Hussain's Revolution," Ayatollah Chamseddine provides a historical analysis of the events leading up to and following the Tragedy of Karbala. From the events following the passing of the Prophet Muhammad and up to the succession of Yazid I to the Umayyad throne, Ayatollah Chamseddine draws a portrait of the social and political undercurrents that lead to Imam Hussain's Revolution. He goes on to show how the massacre that ensued would change the course of history within the Muslim nation.




Popular Conscience


Book Description

In The Tragedy of Karbala in the Popular Conscience, Ayatollah Chamseddine writes: The secret of this revolution is that it immaculately resonates in every heart and soul. Human affection and sentiment embraces the renaissance and revolution of Hussain without any kind of hesitation. Muslims and non-Muslims alike are inspired and moved by his revolution. More particularly, Shia Muslims have dedicated almost every aspect of their lives to his honor. The cultural, social, ethical, and political identity of the Shia Muslim is owed to the revolution and sacrifice of Imam Hussain. When you look back at the history of Islam and all the revolutions that took place, the revolution of Hussain is the only one that lives vibrantly in the hearts and minds of Muslims. It is also the only movement that has found a place in the popular con-science of the people, whereby it enriched them and was enriched by them. It enriched people with its mantras, ideas, ethics, and noble goals. People enriched it with their noble stands in honor of the revolution and their principled outlooks throughout history. His revolution became the "Mother of Revolutions" in the history of Islam.

The Victors of Imam Hussain


Book Description

Through his book "The Victors," Ayatollah Chamseddine provides a critical study of the individuals who came to support Imam Hussain in his movement against the Umayyad regime of Yazid ibn Muawiya in 680 AD. This work sheds light on who those individuals were, their backgrounds, as well as a look into the discrepancies found in history's account of the quantity and traits of Hussain's supporters. Ayatollah Chamseddine's initial intent with this work was to provide an appendix for his book, "Hussain's Revolution"; however, given the length and significance of this particular study, he decided to publish an entirely separate book dedicated to the victors of Hussain.




Shiʻite Islam


Book Description

Despite a growing interest in the last hundred years in both orientalism and comparative religions, and the fact that there are over fifty million Shi'a Muslims, until now there has been no thorough and objective study of that part of Islam called Shi'ism for Western scholars. The present work provides a clear account of the origin, history, and doctrines of an important sector of the Muslim religious community. It is written by a distinguished leader of that community, who, in addition to possessing a thorough knowledge of its traditional history and literature, presents its rational-philosophic, traditional-legal, and gnostic-mystical elements with warmth and sympathy. The result is a well-integrated general picture which succeeds in giving the reader a clear and comprehensive picture of how the Shi'ite Muslim views his religion.
