The Institute is dedicated to promoting research, producing publications and organizing conferences related to Islamic
thought and contemporary social sciences.
The IIIT seeks to integrate contemporary scientific methods and knowledge within an Islamic framework through
INTERNATIONAL
ijtihad in order to overcome the intellectual and cultural crisis in which the Muslim world is mired and thereby to
reform and revitalize Islamic thought. The Institute maintains that the tools, categories, concepts and modes of
analysis of secular thought has caused a discontinuity between the cultural and social reality of Muslims, and
inevitably, a total inability to acknowledge the overriding principles and virtues of Islam itself.
The Institute has become a forum through which Muslim scholars have rekindled an ongoing debate on Islamic
INSTITUTE OF
intellectualism and thought through research, publications, conferencing and networking. IIIT has published over 400
titles primarily in Arabic and English, as well as in major languages such as French, Turkish, Chinese, Urdu, Farsi,
Malay and others.

CRISIS IN THE MUSLIM MIND
by AbdulHamid A. AbuSulayman
Crisis in the Muslim Mind examines the
intellectual and historical roots of the malaise
that has overspread the Ummah and threatens
to efface its identity. First published in Arabic
in 1991 this important work (in an abridged
English translation) is designed to familiarize
educated and concerned Muslims with the
nature of the crisis confronting them, and to
suggest the steps necessary to overcome it.
by Deina Abdelkader
Western theoretical approaches of modern-
ization, development, social progress and
SOCIAL interaction, have failed to understand the
dynamics of the Islamic revival. Deina
JUSTICE
IN
Abdelkader, in this seminal work argues that
questions of social justice are indelibly tied to
the phenomenon of contemporary Islamic
ISLAM resurgence as the quest for social justice is in
fact motivated by the Shari¢ah – hence an
integral part of Islamic life and weltanshauung.
