Revitalising Islamic Thought: Our Mission in Translation and Scholarship

As an autonomous, non-profit organisation, we have dedicated ourselves to the revitalisation of contemporary Islamic discourse through the meticulous translation and dissemination of seminal Islamic texts. Our operations remain independent from governmental influences, allowing us to focus unwaveringly on our primary objective: rendering accessible previously neglected Arabic works of Islamic jurisprudence and theology in the English language.

Our methodology emphasises a dual approach. Firstly, we strive for accurate translation of foundational texts. Secondly, we aim to cultivate critical thinking skills amongst our readership. Through this strategy, we aspire to facilitate a more nuanced and informed dialogue within the global Islamic intellectual sphere.

Our key initiatives include:

  1. The translation of Ibn Hazm’s magnum opera: “al-Muhalla bil Athār” and “al-Ihkām fi-Usul al-Ahkām,” which we consider pivotal works in Islamic jurisprudence.
  2. The serialisation and forthcoming publication of “Kitāb at-Tawḥeed: A’sās al-Islām wa Haqeeqat-at-Tawheed” by Professor Muḥammad bin Abdallah al-Mas’ari, a comprehensive treatise on Islamic monotheism.
  3. The regular production of scholarly articles addressing contemporary issues through an Islamic lens.

We actively solicit academic feedback to ensure the precision of our translations and invite collaboration from qualified individuals. Furthermore, we welcome financial contributions to sustain our scholarly endeavours. Our ultimate goal is to contribute meaningfully to the corpus of Islamic literature available in English and to foster a deeper understanding of Islamic principles in the contemporary world.
