"In an agreement with Shariati's wife, Pouran Shariat Razavi, our office has already published some works of this great intellectual in Lebanon and we plan to translate his other works in near future," added Bazi.
Shariati's works "Hajj," "Fatima Is Fatima," "Fathers! Mothers! We Are Accused," "Religion Vs. Religion," "Martyrdom," "Alavid Shi'ism and Safavid Shi'ism," "Muhammad, the Last Prophet," "Ummah and Imamate," and "Returning to the Self" have been already published in Arabic by the publisher in Beirut.
Twenty-six years ago he died but his works are still welcomed by academics and intellectuals in the Arab community particularly in Lebanon, said Bazi, adding, now they need his thoughts and wisdom more than any other time.
