Answers to questions and doubts

Questioning is one of the most important motivations for acquiring knowledge. Doubt is both an opportunity to learn more and a threat to the foundations of belief.

The AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly Iran

Although the activities of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly are international and are directed outside the Islamic Republic of Iran, but due to the sensitive situation in the border areas and Wahhabi propaganda in these areas, the supreme source of emulation, scholars and elites of these provinces wanted from AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly to support the cultural and spiritual growth of these Shiites and prevent the propaganda of the enemies of the AhlulBayt (a.s.). In order to achieve this goal, the Assembly has performed the following activities:


A. Supporting the construction and restoration of mosques and husseiniyahs: 
Mosques and husseiniyahs are important bases for preserving and strengthening religious values. Due to the material weakness of the Shiites in the deprived border areas and the widespread attack of Wahhabi propaganda, the Assembly has identified and helped build mosques and has followed the repair and equipping of mosques.


B. Sending missionaries and holding training courses: 
The money sent by the assembly was related to the areas where fewer clerics were sent. The AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, in coordination with the propaganda and extension institutions, sends trained missionaries to different regions for a short period of time (the holy month of Ramadan, the days of mourning for Muharram and the summer season). The Assembly also conducts training courses for teachers, scholars and students in these areas by sending professors of ideology and Wahhabism.


C. Supporting Shiite organizations in border areas

The AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly is trying to solve some of the existing problems by supporting the Shiite organizations in the border areas.


D. Organizing a conference and holding a camp: 
Holding conferences on the issues needed in these areas, such as those held in the provinces of Khuzestan and Azerbaijan, as well as setting up camps for the youth of these provinces, are other programs of the Assembly in this regard.

Ahl Al-Bayt World Assembly

The Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly  is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) that was established by a group of Shiite elites under the supervision of the great Islamic authority of the Shiites in 1990 to identify, organize, educate and support the followers of Ahl al-Bayt.
