The series of essays published with the title “Ishārāt wa tanbīhāt (pointers and reminders)” is an opportunity to present various writings such as critical reviews, book reviews, and short communications and notes on the Islamic heritage, each of which is a short and independent essay on a specific and distinguished topic.

The essay "Inadequate research on Sharif Murtaḍā’s Theological Thought” is a critical review of the book “al-Sharīf al-Murtaḍā mutakalliman”, written by Raʾūf Ahmad Al-Shammarī, in which the author’s sources in the research and report of Sayyed Murtaḍā’s theological views are specifically evaluated and criticized.
