Woman in Islam is a summary of Woman and Her Rights in Islam written by the great Muslim thinker and reformer, Ayatullah Murtada Mutahhari. This abridged version deals with the core theological foundations of the arguments many have leveled against Islam with regards to the position and status of women, dispelling much of the vile commentary of the west and east alike in an eloquent manner. In this book he analyses the nature of the family system and its position in society, as well as its natural composition of having a man and a woman as its two basic elements. The reader will find this abridged version a useful and insightful look at the real status of women in Islam.

Mysticism ('Irfan in Arabic), which etymologically means a kind of knowledge and perception, can be defined technically as a kind of immediate knowledge and understanding beyond the senses or reason. This is achieved through a process of overcoming obstacles and lifting the veils of the heart through spiritual wayfaring. In this way the mystic understands the inner truth, the hidden and the true Unity- that is hidden behind appearances and diversity. This process follows a spiritual journey and demands the perfection of the soul and is accomplished through self-knowledge and the enlightenment of the interior. 
Although from a historical point of view, what has firstly been called 'Irfan and expressed in terms such as "people of Sufism" can have five meanings. In the present work, the theoretical dimension of the specific meaning: "'Irfan as a set of instructions and teachings" have been primarily considered. It is known as the intellectual legacy of Islamic culture, and under the title "theoretical mysticism" it has been discussed from different perspectives and explained in prose, verse and in technical terms or symbolic words and concepts. 
This book is a textbook for Islamic Mysticism at postgraduate level; nevertheless, others who are interested in the subject may gain useful insights from the book.

Islamic Theology (The Mutahhari Theology)

Mutahhari, Murtadha

"Fitrah: Man's Natural Disposition" is a translation of the Persian book "Fiṭrat" by the great Muslim thinker and reformer, Ayatollah Murtada Mutahharī. "Fitrah" is the theme of a 10-session lecture series given by the martyred thinker in 1976-77. With ample citations from the Qur'an and other traditional Islamic sources, Mutahhari discusses the concept of 'fitrah' or man's natural disposition. The author does not confine himself to Islamic references as he continuously engages with the views of a wide range of philosophers including Plato, William James, Russell, Nietzsche, Marx, Feuerbach, Auguste Comte, Spencer, Will Durant, and Durkheim, among others. Mutahhari's ontological discussion covers a range of issues, including the literal and technical meaning of 'fitrah', sacred inclinations, love and worship, and the evolution of human originality. He also examines materialism and provides a theistic approach to some issues pertaining to the theories on the origin of religion, the evolution of human society, intrinsic and acquired guidance, and intuitive and sensory dispositions.\nThis book lays a significant interconnected and deep foundation in Islamic theology and an understanding of human psychology, sociology and anthropology fully supported by the holy Quran, ahadith, logic and philosophy. The reader will leave with a holistic understanding of Islam and a true connection with the Almighty (SWT) through one own self.
