Welcome to the Islamic Research Institute Website. This Institute is Pakistan's premier research institute established on 10 March 1960 "to organize research on Islam, to give it a rational and scientific interpretation in the context of the modern age and to bring out the achievements of Muslims in the fields of history, philosophy, science and culture" (Notification of Establishment 1960). I am pleased to introduce the Institute, its history, objectives, organizational structure, and activities. This website attempts to reach scholars, students, and researchers interested in research on Islam. On this website, you can consult our catalog of publications and can contact our Publication Unit to place orders. You may visit our library, including our digital collection, and contact the Chief Librarian for further information. You are also welcome to consult and contribute research articles in our three quarterly Journals, published in English, Arabic and Urdu.
