Basira's instructors

Sheikh Hasan Rezaei

From Bahrain, he writes on his page: “We live in a sensitive age: your success in it has an echo, and your fall a thousand ruins. Stand with the wilāya (guardianship), bearing the banner, with patience and insight, until you meet al-Mahdī (عج) (may God hasten his reappearance) as a witness or a martyr.” At Basira he offers four journeys on ʿaqīda (creed) and life: preparing for the reappearance of Imam al-Mahdī (عج); taqlīd (following a qualified jurist) and its rational and textual proofs; exposing the exploitation of religion to justify falsehood; and practical solutions to the challenges young people face and to their personal growth.
