WikiShia is a free online encyclopedia about Shi'a Islam. It contains more than 23,000 content pages about Shia Islam in 13 languages including English, Persian, Spanish, Turkish, French, Arabic, Urdu, Indonesian, German, Russian, Chinese, Hindi and Kiswahili. WikiShia is affiliated with Ahl Al-Bayt World Assembly, and was officially launched on June 22, 2014 in the International Congress of Sibt al-Nabi (a) in Tehran, by Hassan Rouhani, the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The term "Shi'a" means "follower", "faction" or "party" of the Islamic prophet Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin 'Ali b. Abi Talib, whom the Shia believe to be Muhammad's successor in religious leadership and the Caliphate. WikiShia provides the visitors and readers with information about Shia's twelve Imams and their families as well as the political, social and cultural aspects of their lives. The aim, as is mentioned in the About Page, is to explain all concepts and issues related to knowing Twelver Shia (Imamiya) (including issues in history, geography, fiqh, principles of fiqh, concepts, beliefs, names, etc.). WikiShia is managed by a group of scholars in Qom, Iran.
