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.
