Why I Am A Shia - Sayed Mahdi Modarresi

Who was the rightful successor of the Prophet Muhammad?

This book presents a compelling case for why Imam Ali was the only rightful successor, and why preventing him from assuming this position was a challenge to divine authority.

Drawing on three lines of argument: rational reasoning, scriptural evidence from the Qur'an, and prophetic traditions, it demonstrates Imam Ali's clear superiority over all others. These pages serve as a valuable resource for Shia Muslims seeking to deepen their understanding of their faith and for non-Shia readers who are curious about why we choose to follow Imam Ali.
