Questions have always been a key to the treasures of human knowledge, and individuals and nations who tend to question less come to acquire a reduced share from this vast treasure. It is the right of every person to ask questions and obtain their answers, and none can be deprived of this logical and rational privilege.

The Noble Qur’an has repeatedly emphasized this aspect – ask those, who possess knowledge, about that of which you do not possess knowledge.

The extensiveness of this Qur’anic ruling reveals that Islam does not recognize any limits or restrictions as far as the issue of ‘questioning’ is concerned, and not only permits but commands every individual to pose every kind of question, including those pertaining to various doctrinal, social, ethical and political issues, to those who have knowledge about them.

The current book, is one of two volumes which has been compiled from the writing of Ayatollah Nasir Makarim Shirazi. The book cover questions ranging from jurisprudential issues to modern challenges facing Muslims in the 21st century. A recommended read for every questioning and inquisitive mind.
