The Guide for Seekers to the Commentary on Nahj Al-Mustarshidin – A Study on Imamate

Abstract

The book Musil Al-Talibin ila Sharh Nahj Al-Mustarshidin by Sheikh Nasir Al-Din Ali bin Muhammad Al-Kashi (d. 755 AH) stands as one of the significant commentaries on the Nahj Al-Mustarshidin by Al-Allama Al-Hilli. This book has been widely studied and explained by numerous scholars and intellectuals. Al-Kashi’s commentary is distinguished by its depth, eloquence, and ease of comprehension. In this study, I have focused on the chapter on Imamate, where Al-Kashi elaborates on Al-Allama’s concise discussions, proving the doctrine of Imamate through both rational and textual evidence. He structures his argument around four main topics, providing a comprehensive perspective for those seeking truth and guidance.
The research relied on four manuscript copies, and I spared no effort to bring this work to light in a scientifically rigorous form.
