The Rise of the Magians is a powerful political and ideological analysis of shifting power dynamics in the Middle East. Written during the height of the Iran-Iraq War, the book presented a clear and urgent thesis: that the Arab world faces a strategic and cultural challenge posed by the rise of Persian influence, rooted in centuries-old ambitions and revived under modern revolutionary rhetoric.
With sharp insight and a strong historical perspective, the author examines the mechanisms of influence—religious, political, and psychological—that have allowed Iran to expand its presence in the region. This work seeks to awaken Islamic consciousness to what it frames as a long-term ideological project, and calls for clarity, unity, and vigilance in the face of these evolving threats.
Now available in English for the first time, The Rise of the Magians invites a wider Muslim audience to engage with a perspective that has shaped political and ideological debates across the region. It offers valuable insight into the forces that continue to influence the unity, identity, and future direction of the Islamic world.
