Chapter Eight: Conclusion . 330 $aThis book offers an intellectual history of one of the leading Shi?i thinkers and religious leaders of the 20th-century in Lebanon, Shaykh Muhammad Mahdi Shams al-Din. The author examines his role as the foremost figure of Shi?i intellectual life, a key associate of Musa al-Sadr, and president of the Islamic Shi?i Supreme Council of Lebanon, having maintained the independence of this institution until his death from the domination of Shi?i political parties. The core of the book consists of three interrelated main themes that constitute the major threads of Shams al-Din?s intellectual legacy: a discussion of Islamic government involving a critique of Khomeini?s theory of wil?yat al-faq?h, the role of Islam within civil government, and the necessity for political integration of the Shi?a in their Arab nation-states to protect them from policies that raise doubts over their political allegiance to their respective countries. The project will appeal to scholars, students, academics, and researchers in Middle Eastern politics and history. Farah W. Kawtharani has been Assistant Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and a Visiting Scholar at Concordia University, USA. 410 0$aMiddle East Today 606 $aMiddle East?Politics and government 606 $aPolitical theory 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911160 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aGovernance and Government$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220 606 $aPolitics and Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911250 606 $aPolitical Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911230 615 0$aMiddle East?Politics and government. 615 0$aPolitical theory. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 14$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aPolitics and Religion. 615 24$aPolitical Leadership. 676 $a320.557 676 $a956.92044092 700 $aKawtharani$b Farah W$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0913768 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369907303321 996 $aPolitical Thought in Contemporary Shi?a Islam$92047258 997 $aUNINA
