Summer Reading

Posted in Personal at 4:14 pm by Abbas

People have asked me what I will be reading this summer and I now have compiled a list for those whom are interested. I am not a fan of fictional novels, and more into realisitic books :) . These authors are amazing people and are one way or another gifted and blessed. If anyone wants to join me.. feel free to (maybe we can have weekly discussions).

Man and Universe by Shaheed Mutahari (r)

Our Philosophy by Shaheed Baqir as-Sadr (r)

Light Within Me by Allama Tabatabai’ (r), Shaheed Mutahari (r), and Ayatollah Khomeini(r)

Is there an Islamic Problem? by Dr Shahid Alam

These are not all the books, but these are my first priority, inshaAllah. All these books are heavy reads and involved a great deal of retrospection and reflection. Plus, I will also read al-Mizan, which is Allamah Tabatabai’s tafsir of the Qur’an. And lastly, I will also prepare for my GRE exams :) . Oh yea, almost forgot.. and also get a job.
