Ahlul Bayt Digital Islamic Library Project (DILP), which is a non profit

objectives are to digitise and present on the Internet quality Islamic
resources, related to the history, law, practice, and society of the Islamic
religion and the Muslim peoples with particular emphasis on Twelver Shia
Islamic school of thought. The purpose is to facilitate dissemination
of knowledge through this new medium to locations where such resources
are not commonly or easily accessible. In addition, we aim to encourage
research and enquiry which the use of computers facilitates. We also intend
to explore possibilities of bringing this digitised material together
in a comprehensive Islamic Study Database available on mass storage media
such as CDs and DVDs." |

Islamweb Islamic Studies
Internet Guide "There are many web sites that depict the Islamic religion
from a variety of perspectives, many of which are partisan or sectarian,
or political. This web site is academic. Unaffiliated with any sectarian
or political organization, it is a collaborative effort that unites a
number of scholars from the Carolina-Duke-Emory Institute for the Study
of Islam. They come from different academic disciplines, including religious
studies, history, sociology, cultural studies, literature, art history,
etc. We plan to include a variety of materials, including course syllabi,
texts, visual images, and links to organizations and academic centers.
This web site provides comprehensive lists and evaluations of Internet
sources relating to Islam, organized by subject. It is aimed at serving
the needs of college and university faculty members and students interested
in Islamic studies. This site also hopes to serve Muslims — and non-Muslims
— who want to know more about the Islamic religious tradition." |
