From the Publisher

Ali Shariati (1933-1977), a contemporary Muslim social activist, devoted his life to paving the way for the return to what he and those who followed him believed to be a non-distorted Islam. In Part One, "Who was Ali Shariati?", his life is seen through his own journals and letters as well as through the words of his first teacher, his father, Muhammad Taqi Shariati. Asterisks indicate words defined in the glossary.

Part Two consists of four lectures/essays of Shariatis view of the Muslim woman. Three, "Woman in the Heart of Muhammad" (Vol. 30 CW pp. 511-547), "The Islamic Modest Dress", and "Expectations From the Muslim Woman", are translated and published for the first time here. The third is Shariati's "Fatima is Fatima", long out of print. (The last three are in Vol. 21, CW).

Ali Shariati left over 15,000 pages of lectures, letters, books and journals which were gathered together, divided into subjects and published from 1976-1986 in Persian in 35 volumes called The Collected Works. As no more than 500 pages of his works have been translated into English, the appendices address the need for a "Guide to Shariati's Collected Works" in order to give those interested in Shariati's ideas and his place in history an understanding of the extent and breadth of his work as well as an insight into his creative abilities which were so strong that the titles themselves call out to be heard.
