The seminar is focused on developing the skill of reading Islamic legal texts as opposed to surveying Islamic legal doctrines. It is designed for beginners seeking to build their capacity to investigate Islamic law. The deadline to register is April 15.

The festival welcomes works published by non-Iranian publishers between March 21, 2021, and March 19, 2025. Submissions are evaluated based on their alignment with the festival’s themes, which include:

• Social Sciences, History, and Anthropology related to Imam Riḍā
• Pilgrimage Studies and Razavi Endowments
• Children’s and Adolescents’ Literature on Razavi Teachings
• Interfaith Dialogue and Comparative Theology, especially from the perspective of Islam and Shi‘a studies
The best international work will be awarded €2,000, along with the festival sculpture and a letter of commendation. Selected authors will also be invited to attend the closing ceremony in Mashhad, Iran, with all expenses covered by the festival’s secretariat.
We kindly ask you to consider sharing this invitation with other scholars or academic colleagues who may have relevant contributions or interest in these topics.
