Ranging from the time of the infallible Imams, to the contemporary era, this book provides a comprehensive overview of Shii religious and political authority, focusing on Iran and Lebanon, without limiting the discourse to Khomeinis version of an Islamic State.
Utilising untapped Arabic and Persian sources, Hamid Mavani provides a detailed, nuanced, and diverse theoretical discussion on the doctrine of leadership (Imamate) in Shiism from traditional, theological, philosophical, and mystical perspectives. This theoretical discussion becomes the foundation for an analysis of the transmission of the Twelfth Imams religious and political authority vis-á-vis the jurists during his Greater Occultation.
Bringing the often overlooked diversity within the Shii tradition into sharp focus, Religious Authority and Political Thought in Twelver Shiism discusses what constitutes an Islamic state, if there is such a notion as an Islamic state. Hamid Mavani further explores the possibility of creating a space for secularity, facilitating a separation between religion and state, and ensuring equal rights for all. This book argues that such a development is only possible if there is a rehabilitation of ijtihad. If this were to materialise modern religious, social, economic, political, and cultural challenges could be addressed more successfully. This book will be of use to scholars and students with interests ranging from Politics, to Religion, to Middle East Studies.
