Al-Qalam Journal of Advanced Islamic Research

By International Centre for Advanced Islamic Research

The Al-Qalam Journal of Advanced Islamic Research serves as a critical channel for dialogue in Shīʿī studies between scholars from traditional Islamic and academic backgrounds. Inspired by the Quranic term - al-qalam - which signifies the pivotal importance of knowledge in human civilisation, the journal aims to publish high-quality papers on topics of general interest, peer-reviewed by leading authorities.
