The Dictionary of Shi'a Islam is a definitive reference work, providing a detailed exploration of the beliefs, practices, history, and key figures within the Shi'a community. Amidst a growing interest in Shi'a Islam, both academically and among the general public, this dictionary stands as an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this significant branch of Islam.

Featuring over 1,328 entries, the Dictionary offers a comprehensive overview of Shi'a Islam. Recognizing the lack of similar works in English, Arabic, or Farsi, a team of experts has carefully selected the most essential topics related to Shi'a thought and practice. Entries encompass major doctrines, prominent figures, rituals, sects, tribes, dynasties, significant texts, historical events, and places of importance.

The dictionary includes profiles of key figures, such as the Prophet Muhammad, the Imams, members of the Prophet's household, companions, hadith narrators, and Shi'a scholars from various fields, including exegetes, jurists, theologians, philosophers, mystics, historians, scientists, politicians, historians, and poets.
