A Cursory Glance at the Theory of Wilayat Al-Faqih
This work contains a number of speeches, articles, books, and question-and-answer sessions of the erudite professor, Hadrat Ayatullah Muhammad Taqi Misbah Yazdi (may his sublime presence endure), which have been compiled, edited and published by the author on the subject of Wilayat al-Faqih.

Likewise, we have tried to deal with all the aspects of this theory to address the subjects which we find significant and controversial. However, things like the brevity of content and the readers' patience and the time that they have been taken into account as far as possible.
