A Review on the Written Works by Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani Most people just know about political activities and roles of Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani, while he was a good writer, as well. So, in this article you can get some information about books Ayatollah has written during his lifetime. History of Palestine published in a period when the relationship between Pahlavi and the Zionist regime stabilized more in process of time and in fact it published in a period when not only writing about this topic was prohibited, but also it demanded the extreme audacious. As ISNA provided a report quoted by Shahrvand newspaper, one year after publication of this book on 1964, he was tortured by SAVAK. This book attracted people's attentions on the one hand, and SAVAK found tracks of his cooperation with the coalition party on the other hand. Finally, as the result of his campaigns against the regime, Ayatollah Hashemi was imprisoned seven times and he spent more than four years of his life in prisons of Shah Regime. All of these mentioned parts, however, are just some part of his characteristic aspects as a fighter and then governor and politician. One of the most important aspects of his personality which has been ignored and failed to attract attentions during these days is his compilations. This is a natural phenomenon, as most Iranian politicians do not use to write or they avoid recording their memoirs for different reasons. Still Hashemi Rafsanjani, who debuted his writing activities by, continued his way; as now he is among few Iranian politicians who have wrote and recorded their memoir. In exile, Prime Minister Mosaddeq received the History of Palestine and admired it and asked for its mass publication among people through his own financial support. During the next years, Hashemi Rafsanjani wrote Amirkabir (Hero of fighting with colonization), which is still among the manuals about this great contemporary history man. He has other analytic books including The Clergymen and Shariati Liberalism, The Role of Clergymen in Revolution, The Fear of Arrogant World, etc. Anyway, among the poverty of politicians' daily writings and their analytic books, Hashemi is among the few figures who has written about the important years of the contemporary history. Here, we will look briefly at these books:
Religious Books Ayatollah Hashemi has 14 books on Quran sciences and education, which most of them follow an analytical, research-based and interpretive approach. Among them, we can point to Quran Culture, Dictionary of Topics and Concepts of Quran, The Process of Study in Quran, Quran Culture: The Key to Access Subjects and the Concepts of the Holy Quran, The Position of Mosque in the Islamic System from the Perspective of Quran. With regard to the importance of these works, we can point to the speeches of Hojatoleslam Mohammad Ali Mahdavi Rad, author and Quran researcher, who says: "Guiding interpretation is actually a sequential interpretation which is based on a glossary and researching." Since Ayatollah Hashemi had memorized the whole text of Quran, so when he was in SAVAK's jail, he wrote whatever he knew from Quran and on everything he could write, during the next years which there was more freedom and he was in jail together with scholars such as Ayatollah Taleqani, Rabbani and Anvari, by holding the two commentaries of Majmaolbayan and Almizan in 200 pages notebooks, he classified and wrote the verses and finally he had written about 20 to 40 notebooks. I also had cooperation after Revolution in advertisement office for some periods as consultant and the member of the scientific board for the compilation and preparing this work.
Social Subjects Among the important books of Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani in the field of social subjects, we can mention to Woman and the Social Justice. By reference to the leading article of Shahravnd newspaper in yesterday edition, he was among rare figures whose family took part in social flows based on their traditional background. It points to the cooperation of Faezeh Hashemi in Woman newspaper which deemed a success during the innovative flows of 1370's, those flows which were the result for revival seeking thoughts coming from tradition which were the product of thoughts of the middle class of the second revolution generation. Faezeh Hashemi in fact is the daughter of a person who compiled those books such as Woman and the Social Justice and Islamic Open mindedness and the Religious Illumination.
