Biography

Mohammad al-Tijani al-Samawi was a Tunisian student who, upon making Hajj, was influenced by orthodox Saudi teachings, against saint veneration and tomb visitation, which were central to the North African Sufi tradition.

A few years later, al-Samawi was in Egypt on an Islamic tour of the Middle East and ran into an Iraqi student, Mun'im, who invited him to Iraq to see Shia Islam with his own eyes, and forget what he had heard of them through reputations. Al-Samawi spent several weeks with Mun'im and visited Baghdad, and Najaf, and met with several leading Shi'a scholars, including Grand Ayatollah Abul-Qassim Khoei (al-Khu'i), Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr (Grand Ayatollah to-be) and Allameh Tabatabaei, who spent hours teaching him about Shia Islam.[1] Eventually, he considered himself converted to the Shi'i school of thought.[citation needed]

Works

He wrote five books:

  • Then I was Guided - (Arabic Thumma Ihtadaytu)
  • Ask those who know
  • To be with the truthful
  • The Shi'ah are (the real) Ahl al-Sunnah
  • Fa siru fi al-Ard
  • All solutions are with the prophet's progeny

Three of his books are also available in Urdu titled as:

  • 1. 'Aur Mein Hidayat Pa Gia'Another title of this book Printed by Majma Ilmi Islami is TAJALLI
  • 2. 'Hukm-may-Azan'
