Abstract

The martyr Sayid Muhammad Baqir Al-Sadr (may Allah be pleased with him) is a great figure of Islam, in thought, reform, and a preacher of unity and rapprochement between Islamic sects in the modern era. He had extensive knowledge, as he combined - in addition to religious culture - the cultures of the contemporary world, and read the latter with awareness and contemplation that astonished its owners and preachers. Moreover, the sum of his visions, ideas, and immortal positions in supporting and defending Islam and the various stages of his life formed an integrated scientific approach to unity and rapprochement between Islamic sects, and calling for them. This research is a modest extrapolation of what was mentioned above to clarify and explain that methodology, and it includes an introduction and two chapters.
