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.

As part of our commitment to accessible scholarship, we are offering Volume 1 of Kitāb at-Tawḥīd: Asās al-Islām wa Ḥaqīqat at-Tawḥīd (The Book of Monotheism: The Foundation of Islam and the Reality of Monotheism) as a free, open-access resource in our library.
