Imam Husain’s Brothers in Arms

Imam Husain's Brothers in Arms comprises ten lectures delivered by Ayatollah Khamenei in September 1972, challenging the prevailing scholarly consensus that the Imams were apolitical. Against this notion, Ayatollah Khamenei argues, based on scriptural and rational evidence, that each Imam actively sought to overthrow Umayyad and later Abbasid political orders, differing only in tactics. The translated lectures provide English-speaking readers with an opportunity to assess Ayatollah Khamenei's compelling arguments, offering a nuanced perspective on the central issue of the political discourse in Islam and opening up unexplored insights into its revival.
