Hamara Payam (“Our Message”) is a brief yet deeply inspiring treatise in which Ayatullah Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr presents the core vision, mission, and spiritual message of the Islamic movement. Written during a period of political oppression and ideological confrontation, the book captures al-Sadr’s effort to awaken the Muslim Ummah and guide it toward a principled revival based on faith, justice, and human dignity.
At its heart, the book is a call for consciousness (shu‘oor) and responsibility (zimmedari)—where every believer understands their role in society as a representative of divine values. Al-Sadr outlines Islam not merely as a set of rituals, but as a comprehensive civilizational project rooted in intellectual clarity, social justice, economic balance, and moral purity.
He emphasizes that true Islamic transformation begins with the individual’s spiritual reform, but it ultimately extends to the establishment of a just social order. The message is not political in a narrow sense; rather, it is a universal appeal to reclaim human dignity through God-centered living.
Through his characteristic depth and sincerity, al-Sadr speaks to the struggles of contemporary Muslims—whether facing injustice, intellectual confusion, or moral decline—and offers Islam as a complete, rational, and liberating path. Hamara Payam is thus a manifesto of hope: a reminder that every believer can contribute to rebuilding a society based on truth, justice, sacrifice, and faith.
