What is it about?
In this article, we provide an overview of the development of Shiism in Norway, and examine dynamics that are relevant for the development of Shia Muslim communities, their ritual practice, and in shaping a Norwegian Shia Muslim identity.

Why is it important?
The Shia community is a minority in the Muslim minority population of Norway, and has been an almost neglected field of research. With this article we therefore aim to add new knowledge to this field.
Perspectives
Writing this article together with my co-author Ingvild Flaskerud has been a great experience, and I have learned a lot from her long experience in this field. I hope this article provides the readers with new and useful information and insights on Shiism in Norway, and may contribute to map religious diversities in Norwegian society.
