'''''Al- | '''''Al-Murājaʿāt''''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|المُراجَعات}}) is a revealing book about the truth of [[Shiism]] and the immediate [[imamate]] of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] after [[the Prophet (s)]]. It contains letters communicated between [[Sayyid 'Abd al-Husayn Sharaf al-Din]], a well-known Shiite scholar in [[Lebanon]] and [[al-Shaykh Salim al-Bishri]], a well-known [[Sunni]] scholar in [[Egypt]]. To further examine all the doubts expressed by Sunni scholars, the book makes several arguments on the issue of imamate of Imam 'Ali based on the holy [[Quran]] and Sunni accepted sources of [[hadiths]] in this regard. More importantly, the reliability of its sources, references along with its inspiring style of writing are the reasons it has received wide acceptance. | ||

The book's author, | The book's author, Sayyid 'Abd al-Husayn Sharaf al-Din al-Musawi al-'Amili (b. [[1290]]/1832 - d. 1377/1916) was a Lebanese Shiite [[Mujtahid]] and a supporter of the idea of the proximity of Islamic sects (especially Shiism and Sunnism)—he made remarkable efforts to unify both schools and resolve tensions between them. He was a leader of the Lebanese Independence Movement. | ||
[[Al-Shaykh Salim al-Bishri al-Maliki]], a Sunni scholar, was the head of [[al-Azhar]] in [[Egypt]] for two terms. During his travel to Egypt in 1329 A.H./ 1911, Sharaf al-Din visited al-Bishri. There was debate between them about Sunni and Shiite beliefs when they met—a debate that continued throughout the 112 letters between them. They decided to publish their exchanges, but Sharaf al-Din postponed it because of his political and social struggles. In 1338 A.H./ 1919, French occupiers raided his house and his personal library, and burned some of his writings. Fortunately the letters, later called ''al-Muraja'at'', were undamaged. Sharaf al-Din compiled the letters in the form of a book and published them. | [[Al-Shaykh Salim al-Bishri al-Maliki]], a Sunni scholar, was the head of [[al-Azhar]] in [[Egypt]] for two terms.

When it was published, ''al-Muraja'at'' was welcomed by readers and scholars; it was translated into different languages, and was widely published. Some Sunni scholars have attacked the book in order to defend their own viewpoints, but their attacks have been replied to by some Shiite scholars. One such reply is ''Tashyid al-Muraja'at wa tanfid al-mukabarat'' by [[Sayyid 'Ali al-Husayni al-Milani]]. | When it was published, ''al-Muraja'at'' was welcomed by readers and scholars; it was translated into different languages, and was widely published.
