Our collections support scholarly work on Islamic Studies, with particular emphasis on Ismaili, Shi‘i, and Qur’anic Studies. It also includes works on Muslim civilisations past and present, Muslim diaspora communities worldwide, and related fields, including history, religion, philosophy, literature—with a substantial range of fiction, drama, and poetry in both original languages and translations—and art. The holdings feature books in English, Arabic, French, Persian, Turkish, Russian, Gujarati, and many other languages. The Library’s collection includes more than 54,000 print books and over 1,000 rare books such as manuscripts, first editions, and out-of-print titles, some of which are fully digitised and available through the Aga Khan Library Digital Collections.
