A Little Journey into the Past…
The story behind these guides began, as many interesting discoveries do, with a little curiosity.
One fine day, while browsing through the Wayback Machine (the internet’s very own time capsule), we wondered if ShiaKids.org existed before it came into our hands and if so, how did it look like?
To our surprise, ShiaKids already existed as far back as 2009. As we explored its old pages, we stumbled upon a collection of incredibly helpful guides written in Arabic.
These guides contained valuable knowledge that deserved to be preserved and shared. It felt like a grave injustice to let such useful resources remain buried in the archives of the old internet, forgotten by time.
And so, we have tried to "salvage" these from the digital past, using AI to translate the original Arabic text and giving the guides a little corner of our website to call home and a new lease of life. We hope you find them as beneficial as we did!
