Shadow of Abbas

Shadow of Abbas is a pioneering creative platform sparking a visual revolution in the Shia world. Harnessing the power of AI-generated content, modern video editing, and cutting-edge design, it has transformed how Shia identity, history, and spirituality are experienced and imagined. In just its first year, the platform has reached over 20 million views and built a global audience of 150,000+ followers, establishing itself as both a cultural force and an industry leader. Through Shadow of Abbas, I’ve worked with a wide range of collaborators—from sincere recitors of the Ahlulbayt (as) and respected scholars, to artists, activists, and publishers. The work has spanned everything from children’s comics that make faith accessible, to bold visual pieces tied to political resistance and social justice. Content is produced and deeply resonant in Farsi, Arabic, Urdu, and English, allowing it to connect across borders and speak directly to diverse Shia communities around the world. The response has been overwhelming—renowned, respected, and widely shared in each language space. Where once Shia narratives could only be heard from the pulpit or read in books, Shadow of Abbas now brings them to life, allowing the global Shia community to see their beliefs with their own eyes. This is more than a brand. It’s the spark of a new era in Shia storytelling—crafted in the shadow, made to be seen.
