Imam Sajjad's (AS) "Treaties on Rights" in Amharic Published in Ethiopia

A translation of Imam Sajjad’s (AS) "Treaties on Rights" in Amharic language was published by Iran Cultural Center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - It has been translated and published in cooperation with the Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) World Assembly. 

The Iranian center has undertaken the project in order to disseminate the culture and teachings of Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) in various parts of the world. 

The book includes teachings on various aspects of human rights and also elaborates on rights of non-Muslim minorities. 

Taking into account that about half of the population in Ethiopia are non-Muslims, the book is a valuable source for promoting coexistence among followers of different faiths. Islam is the second-most widely practiced religion in Ethiopia after Christianity. 

Amharic is a Semitic language spoken in Ethiopia. It is the second-most spoken Semitic language in the world, after Arabic, and the official working language of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
