Born in Medina in the year 214 Hijri (829 AD), Imam Hadi was the tenth of the twelve Shia Imams. He is also known as al-Naqi.
He was the Imam between 220/835 and 254/868 for a period of thirty-four years.
The Imam Ali (AS) Islamic Center in Vienna was initiated in 1992 by the Islamic Republic of Iran under the name of Islamic Culture Center. It expanded its activities in 2000.
A year later, it was officially registered and renamed to “Imam Ali (AS) Islamic Center Vienna”. Since its establishment, the center has been actively trying to promote religious teachings as well as Islamic identity in the Austrian cross-cultural community. In addition, it has made efforts to introduce the genuine face of Islam to non-Muslims in this European country.
