According to the website of the Astan (custodianship) of Imam Ali (AS) Holy Shrine, the Astan’s cultural and ideological department is establishing the center.
Sheikh Ali Al-Shukri, head of the department, said the center aims to promote the teachings of Imam Ali (AS) in different languages.
He said when others learn about the virtues of Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS), they will follow the teachings of Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS).
Sheikh Thaer Al-Baghdadi, another official with the Astan, described the establishment of the translation center as a necessary step to introduce the ideas and thoughts of Amir Al-Muminin Ali (AS) to the world, especially to the West.
The translation center is in the final stages of construction and will be launched in the near future.
