Oxford Islamic Studies Online

If you are doing any research in Islamic studies you will probably want to take a look at Oxford Islamic Studies Online. Contents include: features articles, biographies, primary texts, Qur'anic materials, and books by scholars in areas such as global Islamic history, concepts, people, practices, politics, and culture, with articles from The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Islamic World, The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Modern Islamic World, The Islamic World: Past and Present, The Oxford Dictionary of Islam, The Oxford History of Islam, and What Everyone Needs To Know About Islam. The Koran Interpreted (a verse translation by A.J. Arberry) and The Qur'an (a prose translation by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem) are also included, as is the first electronic version of Hanna E. Kassis's A Concordance of the Qur'an and a date converter from western to Islamic dates and vice versa.

Hope this is useful to you -- I'll provide more highlights of individual resources in upcoming posts.
At your service,
Cheryl
