ASIPT recognizes that the intellectual trends of modernity have a presence beyond academia and the west, due both to the reach of modern western education in the postcolonial era and the highly-connected world in which we live. Therefore, ASIPT aims to produce Arabic versions of some original curricular resources for use in traditional seminaries. Due to Arabic’s role as the key scholarly language in Islam, regardless of vernacular, these Arabic versions will extend the impact and collaborative conversations across the world.

The Verification and Renewal program offers an integrative approach to academic research and classical Islamic thought that bridges a gap in the present discourse that ASIPT is uniquely positioned to address. It will both establish a framework for both preserving the knowledge and pedagogy of the past but for addressing the new ‘big questions’ that occur in the present day, each in dialogue with the other.
