Duroos ut-Tabarra (Ahkam-e-La'nat wa Aadab-e-Tabarra), which translates to "Lessons on Disassociation (Rulings on Cursing and the Etiquette of Disassociation)," is authored by Maulana Noor Muhammad Salisi. It is published by Markaz al-Zahra (sa) al-Ilmi in Najaf al-Ashraf, Iraq.
This work is a comprehensive guide to the Shia Islamic concept of Tabarra, or disassociation from the enemies of God. The book explains
Tabarra is a fundamental principle of faith derived from the word Bara'at, meaning disavowal, hatred, and the complete severing of ties with the enemies of God, the Prophet Muhammad, and the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet's household).
Presented in a series of 35 lessons, the book delves into various aspects of this doctrine. It addresses topics such as:
- The definition and importance of Tabarra.
- The necessity of cursing the enemies of the Prophets and Imams.
- The practical application of Tabarra in rituals like funeral prayers.
- The distinction between enmity (عداوت), cursing (لعنت), and disassociation (برائت).
- The significance of this principle is from the time of a child's naming until after death.
The author argues that Tabarra is an essential counterpart to Tawalla (loving the Ahl al-Bayt), and both are necessary for the completion of faith.
