Peshawar Nights

Peshawar Nights is a classic and widely respected work of Islamic scholarship. It records a series of historic public debates held over ten nights in Peshawar (1927) between Sultan al-Wa’izin Shirazi, a distinguished Shi’a scholar, and Sunni scholars of the region. The discussions cover central themes of Islamic belief and history, focusing on the role of the Ahl al-Bayt (the family of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family), succession after the Prophet, and key differences in Shi’a and Sunni traditions.

Translated into English, this edition makes the profound arguments and dialogues accessible to a global audience. It remains an important reference for students of Islamic studies, interfaith dialogue, and anyone interested in understanding Shi’a–Sunni perspectives with authenticity and respect.
