A Shī‘ī–Sunnī Dialogue, also translated as The Right Path, is a book written by the Lebanese Shī‘ī cleric and religious authority ‘Abdul-Ḥusayn Sharaf ad-Dīn al-Mūsawī in Arabic as al-Murāja‘āt (Arabic: المراجعات), then it has been translated to more than ten languages including English.
According to the author, he visited Egypt on 1913, and met Salīm al-Bishrī, who was the head of al-Azhar University, and had long discussions with him regarding controversial issues between Shī‘īs and Sunnīs.[1] The outcome of their discussions and long correspondence resulted in this book, which is highly recognized and circulated among Shī‘īs.
The book takes the form of a collection of a series of written communications between ‘Abdul-Ḥusayn Sharaf ad-Dīn al-Mūsawī (signing with the first letter of his name 'Sh') and Salīm al-Bishrī (signing with the letter 'S') (the letters sh and s also possibly allude to the Shī‘ī–Sunnī nature of the dialogue).
The book has been thoroughly criticised by Sunnī Muslims, such as in the book Shattering the Mirage: A Response to ‘Abdul-Ḥusayn Sharaf ad-Dīn al-Mūsawī’s al-Murāja‘āt.[2]
