The Future of Islamic Knowledge

Bridging Tradition and Technology

As artificial intelligence and online tools transform how the world accesses, analyzes, and preserves knowledge of all types, Islamic knowledge has not kept up. The best platforms are built for the English language, and they train on the existing expanse of the internet–which largely excludes primary sources from the Islamic world, most of which have yet to be digitized. Core texts—spanning law, history, literature and more—often exist only in books on library shelves or scanned pdfs that machines cannot read and, even when they can, provide unstructured formats that the latest digital tools cannot readily use. Our mission is to address this foundational problem by developing the technical infrastructure that enables Islamic texts to be machine-readable, searchable, and analyzable at scale. Our work bridges the gap between longstanding scholarly traditions and modern research technologies. We collaborate with scholars, technologists, and institutions who share a commitment to preserving the depth of the Islamic tradition while making it accessible and analyzable for future generations.
