Questions from Prisoners in the United States

Description

This unique and insightful book compiles real questions submitted by incarcerated individuals in the United States, answered thoughtfully by Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Taqi al-Modarresi. The work addresses a wide range of spiritual, ethical, social, and legal issues faced by prisoners both during incarceration and after release.
The book is divided into sections exploring concerns and challenges while living in prison, including repentance, maintaining faith under hardship, interpersonal relations, dealing with sectarian challenges, and managing daily life within the constraints of incarceration. It also provides guidance for reentry into society, addressing family relationships, community integration, and continuing personal growth after release.
Rich with Quranic verses, prophetic traditions, and jurisprudential rulings, this book offers accessible and compassionate answers grounded in Islamic theology and ethics. It serves as a valuable resource for prisoners seeking spiritual support, educators working with incarcerated populations, and anyone interested in the practical application of Islamic teachings in difficult life circumstances.
Included are appendices highlighting the signing of the Joint Declaration of Religious Leaders Against Slavery and information about the 2nd Chance Books program, which supports prisoner education and rehabilitation through Islamic literature.
