Message from the Director General

Building a responsible culture of research.

Al-Qamar Islamic Research Institute has been established with the vision of promoting serious, ethical, and research-based Islamic scholarship. Our aim is to create a platform where scholars, researchers, teachers, students, editors, and reviewers can contribute to knowledge with academic responsibility and intellectual sincerity.

We are committed to strengthening the culture of research, publication ethics, peer review, academic mentoring, and meaningful scholarly dialogue. AQIRI seeks to serve Islamic learning by connecting classical intellectual heritage with contemporary academic needs and by supporting research that is authentic, balanced, and beneficial for society.

I invite scholars and young researchers to engage with AQIRI's academic activities, publications, seminars, and training programs so that together we may contribute to a stronger and more responsible research culture.
