Shia Muslims: Our Identity, Our Vision, and the Way Forward

In a time of exceptional complexities, where the risk of being subjected to misinformation in the global media is prevalent, it is important to find trustworthy resources to attain true understanding. This booklet was written to clarify misinformation about the principles and goals of Twelver Shia Muslims.

The author, Sayyid M.B. Kashmiri, a Shia religious scholar and the North American representative for many Shia jurists and religious authorities, relies on the doctrines, provisions, and reflections shared by prominent Shia Muslim scholars. All of this is done in alignment with the Holy Quran and the teachings of the infallible progeny of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon them. This text focuses on three major elements: the identity of Shia Muslims, their vision, and the approach to achieve their goals, hence exemplifying how Shia communities play a positive role in the countries they live in.
