The second issue of our journal is now available on Amazon Prime.  

The Journal of the Institute for Islamic Research is an academic-grade publication dedicated to curating high-quality, peer-reviewed research articles that deal with the contemporary issues of Islam today.

The purpose of the journal is:

• to be a physical, accessible resource that is not limited to academic circles
• to create an opportunity for researchers and academicians to explore Islam through the lens of diverse occupations and backgrounds
• to tackle the most controversial questions posed about Islam with evidence
• to maintain academic integrity and relevancy in educating the public
• to inspire readers to contribute positively to society
• to establish an academic resource that can be featured in the university and/or public sector

The Journal of the Institute for Islamic Research is a part of the initiative by Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research to reclaim the narrative and to make high-quality, academic-grade, peer-reviewed research publications and articles the source of authentic information about Islam and the issues Muslims face today.
