As contemporary Muslim societies and institutions come under study, the strains generated by Western colonialism and modern technology and the Islamic response to their impact form the content of these courses. Recent emphasis on Islam as an ideology and way of life is related to the actual sociocultural, political and economic conditions in countries with Muslim majority and minority populations. The main trends of thought and behavior on such issues as the appropriate form of political organization, institutions and statehood, economics and resource management, role of women in society, status of non-Muslims in an Islamic state, Muslim participation in world affairs and cooperation among Muslim countries are studied in these courses.
In the area of research, the Institute of Islamic Studies plans to focus on state- of-the-art surveys of each discipline of knowledge from the Islamic point of view; status studies of Muslim people objectively delineating where they stand at the present time – socially, educationally, politically and economically; studies of goals and targets in important spheres of individual and social life of the Muslims; and studies of policy formation, strategies of reform, governmental action and evaluation research.
