Content

The content of WikiShia includes beliefs, personalities, books, places, events, ceremonies and rituals of the sects believing in the household of Muhammad, the

Prophet of Islam. History of Shia
and any other issue which would be related to Shi'a in some ways are included in WikiShia. General Islamic concepts that are believed by all Muslims or related to Islamic history are also among the topics in this wiki. There are also some articles about other Islamic sects.

By the end of January 2022, the number of entries in Wikishia in all languages reached 24390, and it is growing day by day. As of January 2022, it has more than 4080 entries in English. Many scholars in Qom supervise the content of WikiShia. Currently, WikiShia is not an open wiki, so editing it is possible only with the managers' permission. It has about 100 active users all of which are verified by Ahl Al-Bayt World Assembly, but it has been said in "About page" of WikiShia that it'll be changed to an open wiki so everyone could signup and contribute.[8]

Neutrality policy in the concepts of Shia and the Ahlul Bayt is to be observed in WikiShia. Still, this wiki's contributors consider themselves to be preaching the school of Shi'a, so the entries are written to explain and defend their teachings. However, the judgment about scholarly and historical disagreements is left to the reader.
