Books by Muhammad Baqir Sadr
Iqtisaduna
by Muhammad Baqir Sadr
Sadr was executed, aged 45, by Saddam Hussein in April 1980. He is in my view the greatest Islamic thinker of the 20th century, and he reshaped the whole field of Islamic law away from the monstrous idea of it, held by Eastern and Western ignoramuses alike. Iqtisaduna is the greatest illustration of Sadr’s aggiornamento – bringing up to date – of classical Islamic law.
