Islam Forbids Imitating the Unbelievers
Islam places great emphasis on the dignity of the faith in the face of other people, especially those from other religions. It has been said that God Almighty has entrusted the believer with his own affairs, but He has not entrusted him so that he might disgrace himself! One of the distinctive moments in the life of the Prophet (S.A.W.) occurred when the funeral procession of a Jewish man passed by and he (S.A.W.) was sitting along its path.
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.
