IQNA –The book "Imam Reza: The Sage of the Family" has been translated and published in Serbian, supported by Iran’s Cultural Attaché in Serbia as part of the efforts surrounding the Fifth Imam Reza (AS) International Congress.

 

Originally published by the Islamic Research Foundation of Imam Reza (AS) Shrine, the book was translated and printed by a local publishing institute in collaboration with the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization, the official press service of Imam Reza (AS) shrine reported earlier this week.

Highlighting Imam Reza's (AS) role as a figure of interfaith dialogue within Islamic culture, the book includes sections focused on his debates with religious scholars from other faiths, particularly Christianity. This aspect of the work is intended to be valuable for impartial researchers and to provide a deeper understanding of Shia Islamic teachings.

Structured into eight chapters, the book covers various aspects of Imam Reza’s (AS) life, including his spiritual and ethical personality, scholarly contributions, political life, martyrdom, teachings, and the significance of pilgrimage. It also delves into the concepts of monotheism and the symbolic importance of his shrine.

The Serbian edition of the book includes commentary by the translator, Aleksandar Dragović, offering additional context and explanations.
