Description
The Druze and Their Faith in Tawhid by Anis Obeid offers a detailed and accessible introduction to the Druze religion, its theological foundations, and the historical development of its community. Rooted in Ismaili Shi’ism, the Druze faith is centered on the concept of Tawhid (Oneness of God), emphasizing monotheism, divine knowledge, and spiritual enlightenment. Obeid explores the esoteric nature of Druze beliefs, their sacred texts, and the role of key historical figures in shaping the faith. The book also examines the Druze principles of reincarnation, religious secrecy, and ethical conduct, providing a rare glimpse into a community that has maintained its traditions for nearly a millennium. Additionally, it discusses the Druze people’s sociopolitical role in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel, highlighting their resilience and adaptability. Aimed at both scholars and general readers, The Druze and Their Faith in Tawhid is an insightful resource for anyone interested in Middle Eastern religions, sectarian identities, and the philosophical underpinnings of Druze spirituality.
