Our Commitment to Scholarly Rigor

Yaqeen Institute serves as a platform bringing together a variety of Muslim scholars, academics, and intellectuals discussing topics of central importance to the contemporary Muslim community. Our team consists of scholars who represent diverse institutions of traditional Islamic learning as well as intellectuals from various fields relevant to the challenges we address.

At Yaqeen Institute, we strive to maintain the following three principles in our commitment to scholarly rigor:

  1. 01ḥaqq

    Our commitment to accuracy and truth.

  2. 02iḥsān

    Our commitment to continuous improvement.

  3. 03amāna

    Our sense of responsibility to Allah, to our readership, and to our supporters.

Yaqeen Institute aims to defend and promote Islamic orthodoxy and provide insight into the views that fall within the scope of valid differences of opinion. (See more)

Maintaining scholarly rigor is an indispensable part of this work. In the pursuit of truth, one of the most critical elements is to revise and improve content.

Consequently, articles on our website will be updated or archived from time-to-time in order to feature new content, add references, correct errors, and offer further explanations when needed. In doing this, we can provide readers with the most up-to-date and rigorous scholarship on a particular topic, vetted by a panel of scholars and researchers.
