Shia demographics: a people in decline?
In this lecture, Dr Sayyed Rehan Naqvi explores the Shia demographics worldwide, illustrating that Shia communities are not insignificant minorities but rather significant minorities in various parts of the world. He emphasises that the importance of a community is not determined by its numbers, but by its progressiveness.
The lecture delves into the Shia diaspora in the West, focusing on three key aspects: religiosity, intra-community interactions, and inter-community interactions and social influence.
This discussion is framed in light of a hadith from Imam Ali (as), who identified four factors that contribute to the decline of nations: neglecting the fundamentals, adhering to trivial matters, promoting the lowly, and sidelining the virtuous.
Dr Naqvi also highlights one essential keyword that drives progress within communities: Obedience (Ita'ah) to Allah (swt).
The lecture concludes with historical accounts of the events that took place on Ashura in Karbala and a poignant eulogy for Abbas ibn Ali (as)
Join us for an in-depth exploration of Shia demographics, community dynamics, and the lessons we can learn from history.
