Imam Hasan al-Askari (AS), the Eleventh Infallible Successor of Holy Prophet Mohammad (SAWA)

On 8th of the Islamic month of Rabi as-Sani in 232 AH, Imam Hasan al-Askari (AS), the 11th Infallible Successor of Prophet Mohammad (SAWA), was born in the city of Medina. He later moved to Samarra to join his father, Imam Ali al-Hadi (AS), who was forced to come to this Iraqi city by the tyrant Mutawakkel, the 10th self-styled caliph of the usurper Abbasid regime.

The World Assembly of Shiite Studies was established in 2003 (1382 AH) by a group of scholars from seminaries and universities. The purpose of founding this independent academic institution was to introduce the school of Shi‘ism and defend its legitimacy through education, research, translation and publication, communications, and Islamic promotion. This center has continued its mission with strength and determination and envisions a bright future ahead.
