The events of Karbala reflect the collision of the good versus the evil, the virtuous versus the wicked, the collision of Imam Husain (the head of virtue) versus Yazid (the head of impiety). Al-Husain was a revolutionary person, a righteous man, the religious authority, the Imam of Muslim Ummah.
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.
