This issue of the Journal of Islamic Thought and Civilization brings you a wide range of engaging articles of importance that pertain to current events in the Muslim world including a glance at the role of reformers in the Middle East like Muhammad Abduh and Said Nursi to the evolution of religious education over the past few decades in Pakistan. We also explore the impressive architectural heritages of the mosques of Lahore to the Al-Jami‘al-‘Atiq Mosque in Jidda. The editors of this issue have taken pains to incorporate articles for serious scholars and the enlightened general reader. In the present issue, we also hope to shed some light on the issue of Women’s empowerment through housing microfinance in Pakistan.
