Works Published by AMI Faculty and Graduates

Since the inception of Al-Mahdi Institute in 1993 its faculty, graduates, press and affiliated centres have published various works that provide access to cutting edge research and Islamic scholarship in the English language. Sharing a general underlying theme of exploring the relationship between religion and society, these works range from original and translated monographs and research papers that provide a critical insight into the scholarly heritage of Muslim religious thought, to articles and essays originating from faculty and graduate participation at various internal and external workshops, conferences and seminars.

Please note that whilst AMI recognises the immense value of allowing the expression of a diverse range of views, ideas, and interpretations, the opinions expressed in these publications must be understood as belonging to the author alone.

The following is a list of works that AMI’s faculty, graduates, AMI Press, and its affiliated centres have published:
