About the Author:

The author of GOD AND HIS ATTRIBUTES: Lessons on Islamic Doctrine (Book One) is the late Iranian Shia Islamic scholar and writer, Sayyid Mujtaba Musavi Lari (1925-2013). A key figure in the global propagation of Islamic teachings, particularly through publishing, his works – which cover Islamic ideology, ethics, and civilisation – have been widely translated into numerous languages, including English (often by Professor Hamid Algar) and other world languages. Sayyid Lari founded the Foundation of Islamic Culture Propagation in the World in Qom, which played a major role in distributing his writings internationally, aimed at introducing the core tenets of Islam to a broad audience, combining philosophical and rational arguments with religious scripture.

About the Book:

God and His Attributes: Lessons on Islamic Doctrine (Book One) is the introductory volume to Sayyid Mujtaba Musavi Lari’s comprehensive series on Islamic fundamental beliefs, which presents a logical and scriptural defence of the monotheistic worldview of Islam. The book systematically explores the existence of God, His incomparable attributes (like Power, Knowledge, and Justice), and the refutation of the materialist viewpoint, using both philosophical reasoning and extensive citations from the Qur’an and the traditions of the Prophet. It delves into profound theological topics such as Divine Unity (Tawhid), the manifestations of God in nature, the nature of misfortune and hardship, and the Islamic concept of free will versus fate and destiny, making it an essential text for understanding the theological bedrock of Islamic thought with clarity and depth.
