Introduction to the Foundation of the Islamic Encyclopedia مقدمة ومراجعة

ملخص الجهاز:

The Islamic Encyclopedia Foundation has accepted a principle in the authorship of articles and strives to achieve this goal, which is that the articles should be written by specialists. The Encyclopedia of the Islamic World composes articles related to the religion of Islam, Islamic religious sciences, as well as the history of Islam and Iran, and the Persian language and literature, using Iranian researchers (both from seminaries and universities). The Encyclopedia of the Islamic World has acted in both ways: meaning that in subjects where there is no specialist in Iran, or where authorship was not possible, it has first referred to other Islamic encyclopedias. In principle, if a researcher in another country has performed scholarly, precise, and complete work on a specific subject (historical, geographical, literary, philosophical), it should be translated and published. e. , maintaining balance, efforts have been made in two ways so that the deficiency of encyclopedias does not enter the Encyclopedia of the Islamic World to the extent possible: one through the authorship of articles regarding the biographies of Shiite scholars and scientists of Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Transoxiana; for example, detailed articles will be written for many scholars whose mention appears in brief in Riyad, Rawdat, Tabaqat of the late Sheikh Agha Bozorg, A'yan al-Shi'a, and books of Rijal. At the end of each article of the Encyclopedia of the Islamic World, its sources are written so that if there is a need for further searching and research, they can be referred to.
