He became the leader of the Shi'i community in Lebanon in 1959 after the death of the local leader. He lived in Lebanon for about nineteen years before his sudden disappearance during an official visit to Libya in 1978. His stay in Lebanon marked a major transformation in the political, social, religious, and economic life of the Shi'i community. It also marked a major change in the history of Lebanon and the Lebanese as a whole. His work and accomplishments touched all the Lebanese no matter what religion, region, or political affiliation they belonged to. This dissertation will discuss and analyze the life of Imam Musa, as he was known by his followers; his numerous writings, speeches, and manifestos; the contributions he made to the advancement of the Shi'i community in Lebanon. It will also analyze his appeal for Muslim unity around the world and religious tolerance between the various religious communities in Lebanon. Finally this dissertation will look at the legacy he left and the fliture of the Shi" ah in Lebanon.

  • Beyond Radical Islam?
    BEYOND RADICAL ISLAM? SESSION ONE POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY AND THE DIVINE SOVEREIGN APRIL 16, 2004 MR. JERRY WEINBERGER: Good morning, everyone. I’m Jerry Weinberger, director of the LeFrak Forum and the co-director of the Symposium on Science, Reason, and Modern Democracy. On behalf of my colleagues Arthur Melzer and Dick Zinman, and on behalf of Hillel Fradkin and Eric Brown of the [Project on Islam, Democracy, and the Future of the Muslim World] in Washington, I welcome you all to this conference entitled “Beyond Radical Islam?” In the course of the unfolding war on terror, the view is often expressed, especially in the media, that the struggle between radical Islam and the West is really between the ideals of theocracy and disestablishment. According to the intellectual shorthand preferred by pundits, in the West in general, but especially and most fully in America, there is a rigid separation of church and state while, in Islam and Islamic law, there is no such separation. And for this reason, political pathologies in the Muslim world get expressed in the fanatical drive to replace secular regimes with clerical political rule. There’s always some truth to punditry. But, anyone who has read Tocqueville, the most penetrating thinker ever to comment on things American, must know that this easy dichotomy is misleading, at least as regards America. Tocqueville observed that in America, the juggernaut force of modernity, the passion for equality was moderated perhaps most importantly by the religion of the Americans. Christianity was in his eyes perhaps the most important political institution in the country, maintaining its influence on politics and civic culture paradoxically by way of its clerics’ complete refusal to compete for and hold public office.

  • The Shiit' Theory of Political Authority from Occultation Onward
    J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res., 2(2)2031-2034, 2012 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2012, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com The Shiit' Theory of Political Authority from Occultation Onward Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani Associate professor in Department of Political Science, Islamic Azad University, Tehran Central Branch, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT This article examines the historical development of Shiit’ theory of political authority from occulation onward. The procedure of development, very succinctly, is divided into four periods which are: a) Buyid period (945 - 1055), b) post-Seljuq and Ilkhanid era (12th -14th). c) Safavid era (1501 -1786) and d) Qajar and post Qajar period. The characteristic of this periods is discussed through the degree of Jurists' cooperation with the contemporary ruler in that they were not allowed, on one hand, to compromise their central doctrine of Imamate1 and on the other hand they attempted to actualise their political ideas in order to make a strong political tie with the rulers. This, further led to the establishment of the Shi'it states. This political development for the Shi'it started from Occultation. KEY WORDS: Occultation. Political authority, Shiit , political development. INTRODUCTION The occultation is divided chronologically, into two epochs; the lesser concealment started 869 AD till 940 AD. There were four designated agents who acted for the twelfth Imam2 as the successive leaders of his community. This was originally in two ways: firstly, Imamate jurists should respond to the Buyid Kingdom concerning the legitimate authority of the Buyid; secondly, religiously they were not allowed to compromise the central doctrine of Imamate in that the Imam is a merely leadership.

    Analysis of the Narrative Bases of the Opponents of Revolution and Formation of Islamic Government in the Period of Occultation Sayyed Ziaudin Olyanasab*1, Hamid Bagheri2 1. Associate Professor, Department of Quran & Hadith Sciences, Hazrat-e Masoumeh University, Qom, IRAN. 2. Assistant Professor, Department of Quran & Hadith Sciences, Tehran University, Tehran, IRAN. (Received: 18 January 2019- Accepted: 10 February 2020) Abstract Socio-political aspect is one of the dimensions of human life. An important issue is the view of Islam towards the formation of government at the age of occultation. Concerning the certain traditions, any kind of uprising and revolution before the emergence of Hazrat Qaem (a.j.) will be unlawful and add, "Any flag which raised before the emergence of the Imam of the Age (a.j.), its leader will be Taqut." The present study aimed at criticizing the narrative bases of the revolution opponents and the formation of government from the viewpoints of documents and contexts. Based on the results, only one, and with tolerance, two traditions ban the uprising and describe the rebels as Taqut, legends from Malek Jahani, and Abi basir. Both narratives have some flaws from the viewpoint of documents and rejected contextually. They are not in agreement with the Quran, necessities of religion, the Shia idea of fighting against oppression, and the practical life of the religious leaders. These traditions, in the event of the correctness of their reference to infallible Imams (a.s.), provide for uprisings whose leaders instead of Sovereignty of Allah and Ahl al- Bayt [The household of the Prophet (P.B.U.H)] introduce themselves as the promised Mahdi (a.j.).
