Khuda, Rasool aur Risalat” is a scholarly and deeply philosophical work by Ayatullah Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, in which he explains the fundamental principles of Islamic belief in a logical, spiritual, and intellectually satisfying way. The book focuses on three core pillars of faith:
-
Khuda (God) –
Ayatullah Sadr presents rational proofs for the existence of God. He explains that belief in one God is not only a matter of faith but also a requirement of human reason. He describes the attributes of Allah—His justice, wisdom, and mercy—and shows how these attributes shape the structure of the universe and human life.
-
Rasool (The Prophet) –
The book explores why humanity needs prophets, what role they play, and how divine guidance helps societies achieve justice, morality, and spiritual growth. Ayatullah Sadr explains the unique mission of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the final Messenger, using both historical evidence and rational analysis.
-
Risalat (Prophethood / Message) –
Here, Sadr discusses the nature of revelation (wahy), the authenticity of divine scriptures, and the responsibility of believers toward the message of Islam. He explains how the eternal guidance of the Quran provides solutions for human problems across all ages.
Overall Theme
The book blends logic, Qur’anic teachings, and philosophical reasoning to show that belief in God, His Messenger, and His divine message is a complete system that fulfills the intellectual, ethical, and social needs of mankind.
Ayatullah Baqir al-Sadr’s style is powerful yet accessible, making the book valuable for students of theology, researchers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Islamic belief.
