HIS SCIENTIFIC WRITING WORKS

The books written by Sheikh al-Yaqoobi, as well as the interviews made with him, have amounted to more than 90 titles in a period of approximately four years, apart from about two hundred brochures that comprised details of many social issues. Because of such abundance in writings, Sheikh al-Yaqoobi was exposed to many summons and interrogations by the ruling authorities of Saddam’s regime who were frightened by such products. Even after the collapse of Saddam’s regime, Sheikh al-Yaqoobi did not stop writing books on other fields of life.
