Publishing religious and Islamic sciences in international languages

Dr. Maryam Shamsai was born in Shiraz on February 9, 1975. She holds a PhD in political science and is an associate professor in the Department of Islamic Studies at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.

In addition to her interest in walking as a sport, she mentions reading as her favorite hobby and recommends reading philosophical, political, and historical books. Dr. Maryam Shamsai, in pursuit of her interest in this field and in order to provide a basis for familiarization with the great scientific achievements of Muslims and their effects on the current world, has also written books, two of which we will examine below.

Dr. Maryam Shamsai expresses her overall motivation as follows: “My motivation was to explain the role of religious intellectuals in the process of establishing a bridge between tradition and modernity in order to bring a sense of responsibility to myself and others to improve the understanding of their views.” Apart from that, she has summarized her goal and motivation scientifically and professionally in several cases as follows.

1. Analysis and Dissection of Views: Given the diversity of views and opinions among contemporary Iranian religious intellectuals on Islam and modernity, one of the main motivations could be to provide a comprehensive and coherent analysis of these views. I wanted to help the audience better understand these views and recognize the differences between them.

2. The relationship between science and politics, religion and modernity: The emphasis on the axis of science and politics in this book reflects a concern for the complex relationships between these elements in the modern world. This motivation may stem from questions that I myself had in the face of contemporary challenges in the scientific, political and religious arenas and my attempts to answer them.

3. Developing scientific and cultural dialogue: I sought to draw attention to the dialogues in the field of Islam and modernity. This book can serve as a reference source for students, researchers, and those interested in studying in this field, and provide a space for exchange of views and discussion.

4. Better Understanding of Modernity: Given the rapid changes in Iranian society and their impact on religious thought, my motivation was to encourage readers to reflect on how religion confronts modern conditions and the challenges they pose.

5. Contribution to Contemporary Analysis: This book can contribute to a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities that religious intellectuals face in the face of modernity and science. This may be useful for both elites and the general public.

6. Awareness-raising: My other goal was to help raise awareness and insight into the impact of religious ideas on society and politics by providing a detailed examination of contemporary religious attitudes
