Open Access Journal: The Dialogue: A Quarterly Research Journal

The Dialogue: A Quarterly Research Journal
The Dialogue defines itself as critical in character, truly international in scope, and totally engaged with the central issues facing the world today. Taking as its point of departure the simple but essential notion that no one approach has all the answers, it aims to provide a global forum for a rapidly expanding community of scholars from across the range of academic disciplines and aims to encourage debate, controversy and reflection . However, the views expressed are those of the individual authors and are not necessarily those of Qurtuba University or of the editors.

Open Access Journal: MIFS Newsletter

"The aim of the French Interdisciplinary Mission in Sindh (MIFS) is to bring to light
the historical and sociological heritage of Pakistan which, by and large, has been
largely neglected by researchers. Pakistan's rich heritage stems largely from its
geographic position as a hinge between the Middle East, Central Asia and the
Indian subcontinent. To date, the media and, to a lesser extent, academia, are
largely responsible for having circulated catastrophic approaches on this region."

Open Access Journal: Renaissance

Renaissance:  A Monthly Islamic Journal
Renaissance was launched in January 1991 with an aim to communicate the true message of Islam and to purge it from various innovations which have, over the years, crept into its edifice. The basic idea behind its initiation is to present the teachings of Islam in their pristine form and to apply its principles in current circumstances with a view to present positive solutions to the problems faced in the fields of law and politics, economics and sociology and indeed in all the other spheres of life.
No doubt, a tempest has blown the Muslim fleet out of course. We are going through a period of general decline in all the affairs of life. A revolution in the intellectual and mental perspectives is the need of the hour. The challenge we face is prodigious and the effort required is Herculean. But then, there is a heartening aspect to this situation: In recent times, the task of such an intellectual and mental reformation has already been taken up by a religious scholar of exceptional intellect, Imam Hameed Uddin Farahi (d:1930). He, together with his most outstanding pupil Amin Ahsan Islahi (d:1997), has redirected the Muslim religious thought to the path from which it had deviated by opening the way to direct deliberation on the Qur’an.
