A part of our mission at Burhan Institute is to conduct in-depth research on the role of Islam in the past, present, and future of the Middle East. We believe Islam is a major world religion that has contributed to the refinement of humanity’s spiritual, moral, intellectual, and scientific progress. It can also provide meaningful contributions to emerging spiritual and ethical challenges in the contemporary world and the global discourse for peace and prosperity. For that, we need to gain a deeper understanding of Islam free of theological, cultural, and political biases.

Dr. Buck’s article is a step forward to achieving that goal.

Burhan Institute is also proud to present a groundbreaking translation of Mr. Gamal Hassan, an important contribution to Islamic studies.
