The Al-Qalam Journal of Advanced Islamic Research serves as a critical channel for dialogue in Shīʿī studies between scholars from traditional Islamic and academic backgrounds.

Inspired by the Quranic term – al-qalam – which signifies the pivotal importance of knowledge in human civilisation, the journal aims to publish high-quality papers on topics of general interest, peer-reviewed by leading authorities.

Its articles comprise new research, reviews, and opinions from adroit thinkers who seek to provide a foundation for future research, application, and innovative ideas.
