Closing Ceremony of the Specialized Course “Understanding Imamate” Held with Emphasis on the Legacy of the Lucknow Scholarly School

The closing ceremony of the educational course “Understanding Imamate with a focus on the Imamate legacy of the Lucknow Scholarly School” was held with a speech by Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Mokhtari, head of the Shi’a Bibliography Institute. This specialized course was carried out by the efforts of the International Imamate Foundation and the Imamate Scientific Association, and with the cooperation of the Office of the Supreme Leader, in the form of 10 sessions and for 30 training hours.

In this ceremony, which was accompanied by the حضور of professors, researchers, and course participants, Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Mokhtari referred to the richness of the scientific and hadith legacy of the Lucknow school, and emphasized the necessity of preserving and promoting these intellectual reserves in the contemporary world. He also considered the role of scientific and research centers to be key in explaining and deepening the pure concepts of Imamate.

The course “Understanding Imamate” was designed and implemented using experienced professors familiar with the hadith and theological legacy of Lucknow, and its goal was to raise the level of knowledge and insight regarding the position of Imamate in Shi’a thought. At the end of the ceremony, a valid certificate of participation in the course was awarded to all participants.

This educational program is evaluated as a step in the direction of realizing the views of the Supreme Leader regarding the explanation and deepening of Islamic teachings and strengthening the discourse of Imamate at the level of the country’s scientific community and beyond that, in the Islamic world.

A session was held to review the draft of a long novel about Allamah Mir Hamid Husayn Lakhnavi.

Notes

The Splendor of the Lucknow School in the Indian Travelogue of the Author of *al-Ghadir

The primary objective of this historic journey was to gain access to early, first-hand sources from both sides and to transcribe rare documents for the completion of the volumes of *al-Ghadir* and the enrichment of the Amir al-Mu’minin Library in Najaf. The highlight of the journey was his month-long stay in Lucknow, the warm hospitality and companionship of the Abaqat family, and the indescribable amazement of the author of *al-Ghadir* at the unparalleled holdings of the Nasiriyya Library—an event that immortalized the bond between two major centers devoted to defending the doctrine of Imamate in Najaf al-Ashraf and Lucknow.

Notes

Article: A Critique and Review of the Critical Edition of “Hadith Ali ma‘a al-Haqq” from Abaqat al-Anwar: Critical Editing and Research, or Corruption and Distortion?

“Hadith Ali ma‘a al-Haqq,” from the Abaqat al-Anwar encyclopedia, is an incomplete manuscript section that became available to researchers in recent years. This section consists of a collection of unorganized research slips and rough notes, most of which were written by copyists unfamiliar with the relevant vocabulary and terminology; consequently, what has survived is a disordered text containing numerous errors. Recently, a portion of these notes that possesses greater order and continuity was selected by an institute in Qom and published with grand claims of “critical editing, research, and annotation” and described as “a rarely matched scholarly investigation.”

Manuscript Repository

The Researcher’s Introduction to the Revival of the Qur’anic Verses Section of Abaqat al-Anwar

The present volume is a researched and critically edited edition of this monumental work. In preparing this edition, every effort has been made, as far as possible, to exercise the degree of precision, patience, and diligence befitting the critical editing and study of an exceptional work such as Abaqat al-Anwar, and to honor the efforts of the devoted scholar Allamah Mir Hamed Hussain Lakhnawi in compiling this book by presenting a sound and critically established text. Accordingly, an effort has been made to produce a final text so thoroughly refined, corrected, and critically examined that the reader of Abaqat al-Anwar will perceive no difference in editorial quality between its First Manhaj, whose two extant copies are manuscripts, and its Second Manhaj, whose surviving copies are printed and well preserved.
