Muslim Religious Scholars

Reading is at the top of the list of ways to explore this field. Read the Quran, Hadith, and other sacred texts, and read books and academic papers about Islam. Engage in conversations with religious scholars about their work, to gain insights into their perspectives. Visit the Web sites of Islamic colleges or American universities that offer Islamic studies programs to learn what type of classes you’ll take and the concepts you’ll be discussing. The North American Association of Islamic and Muslim Studies, International Institute of Islamic Thought, Council on American-Islamic Relations, and the Islamic Society of North America also provide useful information about Islam.
