Book About:

Prayer and adoration should be considered as universal categories and as Allamah Jafari has pointed out: prayer is human common culture problem,because we cannot find a nation now or in their past, without different types of praying. The major idea of this work is prayer, from the tongue of one of an Imams’ and Leaders of Shiite called” Imam hHussein” who is well registered in the advanced history of mankind : his fight ,his sacrifice and his holy battle. From Allamah Jafari viewpoint Imam Hussein is the speaker of public conscience of human being, so his words can have humane aspect of which in this book has been revealed in prayer language. Allamah has been trying to interpret these sayings in a simple type of understanding, both to learn how to relate with God, and how to do the real prayer. The style of this book is not only relying on religious type of looking, but also the writer has tried to do interpretation with a humane type of view. Although this interpretation is a classic text of Shiite which is told by third Imam of Shiite in a special condition, but what is important is that he has not interpreted it like normal ,ordinary type of interpreters, but he has tried to look at it from humane point of view and based on realities . Based on this, the readers when reading the book face with meanings which are tangible for the normal understanding and common senses of human being. In this book the prayer and adoration bears sensible meanings which have multi necessities: like the meaning of God which is interpreted in a more moderate and meaningful way, which is pure from other adornments. Therefore we see a different interpretation of the meanings of God where God is not only a metaphysical meaning and prayer is not a tool, but more like an applicable means.
