Author Preface
Praise be to the Creator of the world and greetings
and peace unto his messengers and to Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) and his chosen households.
In the first English translation of the 12th volume
of the book series entitled, "The Role of Imams in the
Revival of Religion" the translator had either deleted
or summarized some sections. We have included those
sections in the present edition in order to complete
the work. We ask Allah to help and guide us to
succeed and perform the deeds that pleases Him.

Publishers Preface
In respect of the Thaqalein prophet (s.a.w.) saying (Hadith)
on which most of the Islamic sects have consensus and is
depicted in the valid books of Sunni and Shia, the Household of
the Prophet (s.a.w.) as well as the Holy Quran have played a
basis role in safeguarding, expanding and consolidating Islam in
the muslims’ individual and social life. It is quite evident that the
Household of the prophet (s.a.w.) was the most important
element in surviving Islam affer the demise of the Prophet
(s.a.w.), but unfortunately the matter has not been delt with
adequetely.
Islamic Thought Foundation (a charity organization) is
publishing Islamic works in various languages and binds itself
over the explanation of the great and undeniable role of the
Household of the Prophet (s.a.w.) in safeguarding and expanding
Islam for centuries to bring closer the Islamic sects.
This book is obviously successful in the fulfilment of this
concern and Islamic Thought Foundation embarked upon
revising it with the permission of the author.
The author being well known, has compelled us to write but a
brief political and scientific background of his at the beginning
of the book.
This book was at first published in Britain by "The World
Federation of Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Muslims Communities"
and after the second revision is going to be reprinted.
We wish the distinguished readers to help us propagating
Islam with their suggestions.
We beg God All Mighty to help the readers find the valuable
content of this book to the best of their interests.
