About this app
Shia Research answers questions about the Twelver Shia textual tradition — and shows you exactly which passages the answer came from. Ask in any language. Every answer is assembled from the primary sources and cited line by line, so you can read the original text yourself instead of taking the answer on trust. WHAT'S INSIDE Over 370,000 passages from the classical corpus, including: • The Four Books — al-Kafi, Man la Yahduruh al-Faqih, Tahdhib al-Ahkam, al-Istibsar • The major later collections — Wasa'il al-Shi'a, Mustadrak al-Wasa'il • Tafsir — Nur al-Thaqalayn, al-Burhan fi Tafsir al-Qur'an • Rijal — narrator biographies and the classical evaluations of them • Nahj al-Balagha and al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya • Shaykh al-Saduq's corpus — 'Ilal al-Shara'i', al-Khisal, 'Uyun Akhbar al-Rida, and more • Treatises, lectures, and contemporary juridical material HOW IT WORKS • Ask a question…
App details
What you can learn from Shia Research: Ask & Cite
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 8 screenshots above are Shia Research: Ask & Cite's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Shia Research: Ask & Cite runs a light set with one background colour (#F4F4FC) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #9CBCFC, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
