As in the Shia myth of the "Hidden Imam," this modern-day Imam left his followers upholding his legacy and awaiting his return. Considered an outsider when he had arrived in Lebanon in 1959 from his native Iran, he gradually assumed the role of charismatic mullah, and was instrumental in transforming the Shia, a quiescent and downtrodden Islamic minority, into committed political activists.What sort of person was Musa al Sadr? What beliefs in the Shia doctrine did his life embody? Where did he fit into the tangle of Lebanon's warring factions? What was behind his disappearance? In this fascinating and compelling narrative, Fouad Ajami resurrects the Shia's neglected history, both distant and recent, and interweaves the life and work of Musa al Sadr with the larger strands of the Shia past. 606 $aShi??ah$zLebanon 606 $aShiites$zLebanon$vBiography 606 $aHISTORY$2bisac 606 $aMiddle East / General$2bisac 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aIslam$2HILCC 615 0$aShi??ah 615 0$aShiites 615 7$aHISTORY 615 7$aMiddle East / General 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aIslam 676 $a297.8209 700 $aAjami$b Fouad.$0658190 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779018303321 996 $aThe Vanished Imam$93838751 997 $aUNINA
