Agriculture is successful when it comes to planting sufficient seed, soil, water and sunshine. In addition, continuous care of the tree against various pests should be done on a continuous basis.
 
A lot of care is also needed in scientific work. A researcher must write the right plan for the research, select the right and documented sources for his / her work, provide a fair and unbiased analysis of his or her findings, enter or approach the subject area of the research, and ...
 
Without any of these factors, research would be incomplete and the result would not be healthy. Are the studies


 
on Islam sufficiently specific? A brief overview of these factors will help to identify the results. In this note we are only talking about sources.
 
A glance at the sources of Orientalist research on Islamic teachings and issues reveals a clear lack of attention to Shi'ite Shi'ite sources. Some critics attribute this lack of attention to issues such as political issues, group fanaticism, different biases, and so on. In this note we do not want to talk about the "why" of this negligence because we do not have the necessary documentation and to speak of human speculation is unwise. But a brief

In a humble and realistic way, Tehrani called his book "The Beam into the Ocean of Shiite Works" and not a comprehensive list of all Shiite works. There are now efforts by several research centers to update this book and add hundreds of new titles.

In the past, there were mainly two reasons for this inattention: one for Easterners not knowing about the treasure, the other not having access to these books. But today, with the help of databases, websites, and other cyberspace features in different languages and easy and free access to most of them, one cannot speak of "inaccessibility or inaccessibility." In addition, easy access to Shiite Shiite institutions and researchers in different countries paves the way for accessing these resources. Shiite television networks, scientific journals, and
