The twentieth century saw heightened tension between religious and secular approaches to education. In this era of cataclysmic social change, Mutahhari presented this Islamic perspective on training and education, using his signature approach of applying traditional Islamic sources to contemporary questions. Although, in this time, rote learning was prized, Mutahhari emphasised the importance of critical thinks skills. He also emphasised education outside of the classroom, such as learning through work. Taking a hilistic perspective, he discussed the importance of spiritual and moral traning, worship as a means of personal development, and the importance of developing self-esteem. Although deliver in the 1970s, these lectures remain essential reading for anyone in training or education.
Islam is an all inclusive way of life which covers the intellectual and the real, the theoretical and the practical. The major part of the Islamic code of practice and behaviour is formalised in the discipline of Islamic law which established itself as a discipline before other Islamic disciplines. The early Muslim jurisconsultants are to be credited as the pioneers of the development of the Islamic legal system. Shaikh Mohammad ibn Hasan ibn Ali Abu Ja'far al-Tusi (385-460AH/995-1067AD), who was given the honorary title of Shaikh al-Taifat al-Imamiyyah (The Head of the Shia Islamic School) was at the forefront of these pioneers. This book has been recognised as one of the major early sources, references and textbooks in the field of Islamic Law in general and of Shi'a Islamic law in particular. The book has been translated, edited and introduced by Professor A Ezzati.
