A translation of Imam Sajjad’s (AS) "Treaties on Rights" in Amharic language was published by Iran Cultural Center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
According to IQNA’s ICRO branch, it has been translated and published in cooperation with the Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) World Assembly.
The Iranian center has undertaken the project in order to disseminate the culture and teachings of Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) in various parts of the world.
The book includes teachings on various aspects of human rights and also elaborates on rights of non-Muslim minorities.
Taking into account that about half of the population in Ethiopia are non-Muslims, the book is a valuable source for promoting coexistence among followers of different faiths. Islam is the second-most widely practiced religion in Ethiopia after Christianity.
Amharic is a Semitic language spoken in Ethiopia. It is the second-most spoken Semitic language in the world, after Arabic, and the official working language of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
