The Institute ofIsmaili Studies
TheInstituteofIsmailiStudieswasestablishedin 1977withtheobject
ofpromotingscholarship andlearningon Islam, in historical as well
ascontemporarycontexts,andabetterunderstandingofitsrelationship
with othersocieties and faiths.
The Institute's programmes encourage a perspective which is not
confined to the theological and religious heritage ofIslam, butseeks
to explore the relationship ofreligious ideas to broader dimensions
ofsociety and culture. The programmes thus encourage an inter
disciplinaryapproachtothematerialsofIslamichistoryand thought.
Particular attention is also given to issues ofmodernitythat arise as
Muslims seekto relate theirheritageto the contemporarysituation.
Within the Islamic tradition, the Institute's programmes seek to
promoteresearchonthoseareaswhichhave,todate, receivedrelatively
littleattentionfrom scholars.Theseincludetheintellectualandliterary
expressions ofShi'ism in general, and Ismailism in particular.
In the contextofIslamicsocieties, the Institute's programmesare
informedbythe full range anddiversityofcultures inwhich Islam is
practised today, from the Middle East, South and Central Asia, and
Africa to the industrialised societies ofthe West, thus taking into
consideration the variety ofcontexts which shape the ideals, beliefs
andpracticesofthe faith.
These objectives are realised through concrete programmes
and activities organised and implemented by various departments
programme-specific basis, with other institutions oflearningin the
United Kingdom and abroad.
The Institute's academic publications fall into several distinct
and interrelated categories:
1. Occasional papers or essays addressing broad themes ofthe
relationshipbetweenreligionandsociety,withspecialreference
to Islam.
2. Monographs exploring specific aspects of Islamic faith and
culture, or the contributions ofindividual Muslim figures
orwriters.
3. Editionsortranslationsofsignificantprimaryorsecondarytexts.
4. Translations ofpoetic orliterarytexts which illustrate the rich
heritage ofspiritual, devotional, and symbolic expressions in
Muslimhistory.
5. Works on Ismaili history and thought, and the relationship of
the Ismailis to other traditions, communities, and schools of
thoughtin Islam.
6. Proceedings of conferences and seminars sponsored by
the Institute.
7. Bibliographicalworksandcatalogueswhichdocumentmanuscripts,
printed texts, andothersource materials.
This bookfalls into categorythree listedabove.
In facilitating these and otherpublications, the Institute's sole aim is
to encourage original research and analysis ofrelevant issues. While
every effort is made to ensure that the publications are ofa high
academicstandard, thereisnaturallyboundtobeadiversityofviews,
ideas and interpretations. As such, the opinions expressed in these
publicationsmustbeunderstood asbelongingto theirauthors alone.
