الشيخ المظفر : رجل التجديد و الإصلاح

الملخص EN

It is not surprising that the reformist personality of Al- Mudhafar emerges, and the reformist trend is centered in his personality, for two reasons: The first: The nature of the era in which Al- Mudhafar lived and grew up, Sheikh Al-Mudhaffar was born in an era crowded with political, social and literary calls for reform, whether at the level of Najaf or at the two worlds: the Arab and Islamic levels.

There was a call for conditionalities, that is: constitutional rule, the declaration of the constitution, and then the Ottoman coup.

There were calls to understand religion as a modern understanding in line with the development of modern science and the emergence of new ideas, and there was a call for the so-called emancipation of women, and the accompanying actions, and there were new trends in art and literature and a call to return to the self and the expression of privacy, and there were Revolutions and events that expressed themselves in violent ways, such as the 1919 revolution in Egypt, the Twentieth revolution in Iraq, the armed clash in the Levant in 1925 AD between the Syrians and the French, the Rif revolution in the Maghreb, the Tripoli war in Libya.

and other events that shake the conscience and move Feelings, and minds are directed to what is prevalent in search of new.

The second thing: what he focused on the nature of the sheikh Al- Mudhafar by his ability to sense the situations around him, and the natural desire for development and renewal on him.

.

.

During his reign, Najaf was boiling with calls for renewal, so he interacted with them, and he pursued their path in two ways: The first: the institutional work represented by the Forum Publishing Association, and the institutions that emerged from it: such as the Forum Publishing College, the College of Public Speaking, and the College of Jurisprudence, and the associated intellectual projects such as issuing magazines and printing books The second grammar: innovation in developing scientific curricula.

The scholarly seminary was rigid in its curricula - decades ago - on some thorny courses closed to the student of knowledge, especially the novice, so Sheikh Al- Mudhafar came - motivated by his regenerative sense - so he wrote my book: Fundamentals of Fiqh and Logic.

According to a modern approach in presenting the scientific material, it was made easy for the student to receive and digest it, so that it became available to him as a method, representation, and briefing.

Perhaps Sheikh Al- Mudhafar is one of those whose books were destined to be taught in seminaries and scientific institutes as soon as he lived, and this only happens rarely, especially that he has social opponents that they lack in his approach and method of work, but these opponents quickly followed in his approach, and they recognized him with primacy and brilliance.

Perhaps his book (The Faiths of the Front), with its clarity, brevity, and depth, reflects the missionary personality of Al- Mudhafar, and it is still to this day - a pioneer in the call to the doctrine of the Ahl al-Bayt - peace be upon them - that communicates their approach from the nearest path.

The secret of communicating - to this day - with Sheikh Al- Mudhafar lies in his mission, and in sincerity - in word and deed - to this mission, which made his intellectual works characterized by immortality, permanence and public benefit.
