Analytical History of Islam provides a methodical approach to historical scholarship, contrasting narrative and scholarly history. It analyzes the Prophet’s era, the Saqīfah conspiracy, Imam ʻAlī’s governance, and the role of the four delegates during the Minor Occultation.

In “Saqīfah,” Ayatollah Jaʻfar Sobhani investigates the backgrounds and consequences of the assembly that altered Islamic history. By contrasting the event of Ghadir Khumm with the logic of selection at Saqīfah, the work provides a scholarly defense of Divine Imamate and documents the tragic aftermaths involving the household of the Prophet.
