Legislating the Ziyarat

During certain times, hordes of pilgrims regard the ziyarat [visiting the Imams\’ shrines], a highly commendable deed. They visit one of the foundations of the creed and the lighthouse of its guidance, and from it are the injunctions derived and where the branches of knowledge are researched. Visitors go to his grave from various parts of the world. People get to know each other; they witness such an amazing crowd.

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.
