This book analyzes Prophet Muhammad’s political conduct, focusing on the structural foundations and justice-based principles of the first Islamic state.

This seminal work reinterprets the lives of the twelve Imams as a single, continuous 250-year struggle to establish divine governance. It shifts the focus from purely spiritual narratives to the intense political efforts of the Infallibles to combat corruption and social injustice. Through historical analysis, the book illustrates how each Imam adapted their strategies—from silence to uprising—to preserve the core mission of Islam.

Naqsh-i Nigār provides a comprehensive review of Imam Ali’s life, from his early bravery at Laylat al-Mabit to his rigorous pursuit of economic equality during his caliphate. Drawing from Ayatollah Khamenei’s insights, it highlights his roles as a warrior, advisor, and just leader.
