Monthly Renaissance is a journal of Islamic research and information published by the Al-Mawrid Institute of Islamic Sciences. Since its founding in March 1991, it has served as a platform for rigorous yet accessible Islamic scholarship in the English language.
The journal presents Islam as understood through a direct study of its primary sources — the Qur'an and the Sunnah — employing a methodology rooted in classical Arabic linguistics, established principles of interpretation, and coherent rational analysis.
Our mission is to make authentic Islamic scholarship accessible to English-speaking audiences worldwide — providing thoughtful, well-researched perspectives on matters of faith, practice, ethics, and contemporary relevance.
