WikiShia, reliable scientific source for world researchers/ we’re looking for agility in activities: Ayatollah Ramazani
The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Today, in different countries, researchers are looking for reliable scientific resources, and WikiShia has become such a resource for researchers in the world.”
ABWA Official Website – On Thursday, February 16, 2023, the unveiling ceremony of the new products of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly was held in the conference hall of the Assembly in Qom.
In this event, which was held on the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Musa bin Jafar (a.s.), the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, while referring to the virtues and companions of that Imam stated, “We should follow the noble ethics of Imam Musa bin Jafar (a.s.) in tolerance, patience, and forgiveness, which are among his teachings.”
“Sunni dignitaries accept Imam Musa al-Kazim (a.s.) as a spiritual and religious person, who has the position of scientific and spiritual authority,” Ayatollah Reza Ramazani added, “A person named Sama’ani, a Sunni dignitary in the 6th century AH, used to go on pilgrimage to the shrine of the Imam. Imam Shafi’i also considered his shrine as healing medicine.”
“The great work of Imam Musa bin Jafar (a.s.) was to form an organization of representatives. So that great figures in different countries and cities were his representatives,” he said.
Further in his speech, while appreciating the organizers of the meeting, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “So far, the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly has performed great and valuable works.”
While emphasizing on avoiding the same and repetitive works in cultural affairs, he said, “In the field of answering the doubts, various institutions are active in Qom. In this regard, many works have been published, and many researchers are doing great work. Therefore, we signed memorandums of understanding with various institutions in the scientific, educational, and research fields to use in the international arena the work they have done.”
“In the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, none of the departments have been closed. However, there were some repetitive or unnecessary tasks. In the new period, we are looking for localization so that every researcher produces works in his region,” added the professor of higher levels of the seminary.
“In the new development plan, we are looking for agility,” he continued, “To be agile, we need to remove obstacles.”
Describing the activities of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in the new era, he said, “So far, many works have been done in the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly. AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University used to have seven fields of study, but now it has 24 fields. The university did not have a doctoral degree. But now, for several fields of study, Ph.D. degrees have been added. Previously, there were students from 9 countries at AhlulBayt (a.s.) University, but now students from 27 countries are studying at this university.”
“For Thaqalayn satellite TV, measures were taken to have new programs addressing the needs of the world regarding children, adolescents, lifestyle and family,” Ayatollah Ramazani continued.
“We are paying special attention to the WikiShia, and we are looking to upgrade this encyclopedia to a foundation. The establishment of WikiShia was a transformative action from the beginning. In the 7th General Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution obliged us to convey the virtues and teachings of AhlulBayt (a.s.) to the elites, as well as the general public of the society,” he said on the position of WikiShia.
“We supported the development of active languages on the WikiShia,” Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly added, “So far, 12 languages have been added to the WikiShia, and considering the shortcomings, this is a source of honor.”
“Our motto in WikiShia is to increase the entries and localization. Today, in different countries, researchers are looking for reliable scientific resources, and WikiShia has become such a resource for researchers in the world,” he expressed.
“For WikiShia to provide noble and valuable work and this encyclopedia becomes a scientific and spiritual authority, we solve its software, hardware, and technology problems,” Ayatollah Ramazani said, “Therefore, in order to improve the quality of WikiShia and other departments of the Assembly, we formed a policy council. To optimize activities and what needs are necessary, it is necessary for WikiShia officials to consult with the Deputy Office of International Affairs.”
In the end, while expressing gratitude for the activities of the “Answering Doubts” and “Strategic Studies” departments, he said, “We are aware of the necessity of answering doubts, as well as strategic studies. But things should be arranged in such a way that repetitive tasks are avoided. So that if other institutions have done activities in the mentioned fields, we can use the fruits of their work in the international arena.”
At the end of this ceremony, by giving the certificate of gratification, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly appreciated the staff of the “Basic Studies”, and “Question and Answer” groups who worked in these two departments for many years. /345/
