Islam and the Islamic tradition have been largely underrepresented in contemporary philosophy of religion. This is so while there are many issues pertaining to (or raised by) Islamic beliefs which can be philosophically discussed. Moreover, there are many general problems about religious beliefs (regardless of whether or not they are exclusively Islamic) which can be philosophically addressed based on ideas, insights, and philosophical theories that Muslim philosophers developed throughout the intellectual history of the Islamic tradition. The present issue of Religious Studies Archives tries to draw the attention of contemporary philosophers of religion to Islam and the Islamic tradition as a rich source of worth considering philosophical problems and approaches by presenting a collection of best ever papers about Islam published in Religious Studies.
