The Madrasa Discourses project proposes that a conciliation of traditional Islamic thought with contemporary scientific and philosophical worldviews can result in orthodox affirmations of human dignity that are essential for peaceful coexistence in a pluralistic world. This will be accomplished through an educational curriculum that enables traditional Muslim scholars (ʿulamāʾ) in India to update their tradition by deepening their theological and scientific literacy. Aiming to engage over one hundred young religious leaders, and later provide globally accessible educational modules, the project is envisioned as a modest step in the effort to revitalize the intellectual culture of Muslim societies.
