<p>2.188.32.242: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Era|RW}}<br /> [[File:The Invisible Imam.jpg|thumb|202px|right|Cover design]]<br /> '''''Assassin’s Creed: The Invisible Imam''''' is a cancelled novel that was to be written by author Steven Barnes for Pocket Books, and the first title of an intended trilogy, with a second book being titled ''[[Assassin's Creed: The Eye of Heaven]]''.<br /> <br /> Publisher Marco Palmieri showed high interest in the book before it was ultimately cancelled. The story featured a character by the name of Abdul Wahid, who embarked on a quest to avenge the death of his parents.<br /> <br /> ==Cancellation==<br /> Issues emerged when descendants of the original Assassins, members of the Ismaili sect currently led by the Aga Khan IV, visited the company offices during the novel's design stage. The visit prompted heavy edits to the novel and later, the editors completely removed all religious references.<br /> <br /> Finally, they required expert advice on the novel's historical accuracy, and requested advice from Agha Khan’s followers. However, by this time publisher [[Ubisoft]] had lost interest in the publication, and the entire project was cancelled.&lt;ref name=&quot;Steven Barnes&quot;&gt;''[http://darkush.blogspot.com/2007/10/why-even-care.html Steven Barnes' blog entry on the book's cancellation]''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Author Barnes included ''The Invisible Imam'' in his non-''Assassin's Creed'' related book titled ''Assassin and Other Stories''.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Imam is a word meaning &quot;Guide.&quot; In {{Wiki|Sunni}} {{Wiki|Islam}}, it is the person who leads the prayers at the mosque. For Shia Muslims, it is the religious leader descended from Prophet Muhammed, (Aga Khan IV). But Aga Khan IV is &quot;Imam&quot; for Ismailis, not all of Shia Muslims. Imamia Shias believe that Imam Mahdi (PBUH), twelfth Imam and offspring of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), is the Imam in this time. May God hasten his return.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{ACSeries}}<br /> [[Category:Assassin's Creed]]<br /> [[Category:Cancelled media]]</div>
