A complete Islamic research system built around fifteen specialist departments.
Research starts with the right department, then moves through a defined topic area, source base, supervision, specialist review and controlled publication. Dar-ul-Ifta and Idarat-ut-Tahqiq remain separate scholarly services.
Three institutions. Three clear responsibilities. One scholarly mission.
