Not as large as the commercial subscription service ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Database, OATD distinguishes itself by providing access to more than 1.6 million open-access theses and dissertations freely available from over 800 institutions worldwide. The simplified interface allows searching across all fields or, in advanced search, by specific field (Title, Author Name, Abstract, University/Publisher, or Subject/Keywords).

In many instances, several pages of the thesis or dissertation are available for viewing. Though other sites cover similar material, e.g., PQDT Open http://pqdtopen.proquest.com and Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, OATD focuses exclusively on open-access ETDs, and serves as an excellent resource for students and researchers. Its usefulness will continue to increase as more ETDs are made freely available

Introduction

Developing a thesis proposal and then researching, writing, and submitting the thesis are challenging mandatory components of your PhD degree. In order to assist you in the successful completion of these tasks, the procedures and guidelines as required by the Institute of Islamic Studies and Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (GPS) are presented below.

The overall process: A summary

The process of completing a thesis moves from selecting a topic in consultation with your supervisor(s) to then developing a suitable proposal, which in turn must be submitted to and approved by the Institute Faculty at one of the scheduled staff meetings during the academic year. Once approved, research and writing commences. When the final draft of the thesis is ready, the thesis is submitted to GPS, which forwards a copy to the External Examiner. Once the External Examiner has submitted his/her report with a ‘Pass’, the oral defense examination is organized by the Institute. Following the successful pass of the oral defense, the candidate is required to make any stylistic and/or other minor corrections indicated by the External’s report and the Oral Defense Committee for the final electronic submission.

  • Thesis Examination Failures

Students must begin their dissertation research as early as possible. Having completed all the course and language requirements and passed the Comprehensive Examinations, the PhD candidate may proceed to the writing of the dissertation proposal. The PhD dissertation is expected to consist in original research that is based on the relevant primary and secondary sources.

The dissertation for the PhD must display original scholarship expressed in satisfactory literary form and must be a distinct contribution to knowledge. Its originality may lie in the discovery of new facts or the reaching of new conclusions by the exercise of independent critical power. Its content must reflect complete understanding and control of the subject based on the latest data, and must show skill in orderly exposition and ability to marshal and organize evidence and draw logical conclusions.

The average length of a doctoral dissertation accepted at the Institute is 250 double-spaced typewritten pages (inclusive of footnotes and appendices, but exclusive of bibliography). The length, however, may vary with the nature of the topic.

The Institute of Islamic Studies maintains specific procedures for the development and submission of thesis proposals prior to research and writing. The thesis proposal should be defended no later than the end of the student’s third year of study.

The procedures involve the following:

1. Selection of topic

PhD students should begin considering possible thesis topics early in their programmes, in consultation with their supervisor(s). Ideas can be tested by writing papers in your courses to explore the potential of your topic(s). PhD students are expected to develop ideas during their course work and while preparing for their comprehensive examinations.

2. Writing a Thesis Proposal approved by your supervisor(s)

The purpose of your proposal is to demonstrate the viability of your research topic to the Faculty of the Institute. This entails developing (a) specific research question(s), along with the reasons and importance of the proposed research, suitable methodologies to answer your question(s), an outline and a detailed bibliography.

The dissertation proposal should state the title of the dissertation, the problem to be discussed, the value or importance of the problem and the method that will be used to bring the research to its logical conclusions. The proposal must also mention what materials will be used and whether they are available at McGill or elsewhere and are accessible to the student. A sample outline is provided below for your guidance, but please consult with your supervisor(s) as to the format they prefer.

Sample outline

  • Thesis Title
  • Thesis Question(s)
  • Reasons and Importance of the Research
  • Literature Survey
  • Historical Context/Introductory Material in support of thesis
  • Methodology
  • Bibliography

Format: The maximum length accepted is 6 pages, excluding bibliography. The proposal must be double spaced, with 1-inch margins, in size-12 font. In addition, all proposals must be typographically, grammatically and diacritically correct. Submissions that fail to comply with these requirements will be rejected.

Please keep in mind that many funding agencies require concise, well thought out research proposals, and that the writing of research proposals will therefore become an integral part of your academic career.

3. Completing the Thesis Proposal Form

Microsoft Office document icon

4. Submission of the Thesis Proposal and the Thesis Proposal Form to the IIS Office

Please ensure that your written Thesis Proposal and bibliography are completed properly, and that your Thesis Proposal Form is approved and signed. It is preferable to submit the documents electronically to the Student Affairs Coordinator one week prior to the monthly staff meeting. Late submissions will be held over for the next staff meeting. 

5. Defense of Thesis Proposal at a Staff Meeting

Students must be present at the staff meeting when the proposal is discussed to defend their proposals. Once final approval is granted by the faculty, the student may proceed to work toward the completion of the dissertation.

6. Faculty approval of Thesis and Recommendation of the External Thesis Examiner

The Faculty will communicate approval of your thesis proposal in writing. You will then work closely with your supervisor on the completion of your thesis. When you have completed writing the thesis, you and your supervisor will decide on the names of possible external examiners who are specialists in your field and whose services would present no conflicts of interest.

The doctoral dissertation may be submitted in either English or French. Grammatical correctness is requisite, and felicity of expression is among the criteria involved in judging the dissertation.

All thesis submissions must adhere to the guidelines set by GPS. For more information, please consult the GPS Thesis Guidelines . 

Submission to Supervisor

Please be aware that Professors need a reasonable amount of time to read and provide comments on your thesis. This process of submission and feedback should be an on-going activity based on the thesis timeline that was agreed upon by you and your supervisor(s). If you fail to submit chapters or others sections of your thesis by the agreed upon timeline, he/she may not be able to ensure that your thesis can be submitted by a certain deadline. You must consult your supervisor well in advance about dates and availability.

Once the thesis has been written, corrected by your supervisor, revised as appropriate and approved for submission, the candidate may submit the thesis to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in myThesis. Please note:

1. Thesis submission deadlines:

2. Accompanying document to be submitted with the copies of your thesis: Thesis Checklist.

See the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies' webpage for the form and information.

If the research for the thesis involved human participants, you should have obtained Research Compliance Certificates from the Research Ethics Board . A copy of the certificates must be provided together with the Thesis forms.

3 . PhD candidates submit their thesis and the form in myThesis .  The thesis is forwarded by the GPS to the external and internal examiners, who will in due course send a reader's report (approximately one month). Based on these reports, there may be additional corrections or changes to be made to the thesis before final submission.

Examination of the Thesis

Theses are read by  an external examiner and an internal examiner . Following discussions with the student, the supervisor will submit 2-3 names of external examiners for approval to the GPD and Director. Once approved by the GPD and Director, the student submits the contact information  in myThesis  for GPS to contact them. If the GPD is the supervisor of the student, the final approval of the externals will be made by the Director; if the Director is the supervisor of the student, the final approval of the externals will be made by the GPD.

It is advisable that the process in myThesis be initiated 2 months before the intended date of submission.

If a dissertation is judged unsatisfactory by either of the examiners, the student has the option to either revise & resubmit or request a new examiner to a Hearing Committee for bias, error or misrepresentation or both. Graduate and Postdoctoral studies details the procedure and process on its website . 

If the dissertation has been passed by the Examiners, a final oral examination is held on the subject of the dissertation and subjects intimately related to it. For more detailed information, please see the Oral Defense section of the left sidebar.

For the PhD thesis, once all corrections are completed based on the oral defense and the External and the Internal Examiners' reports, you submit your final copy electronically on Minerva. For more information on this, see the GPS’ Final Thesis Submission Instructions .

In Israel, activists are fighting to stop honor killings in the country's Muslim communities. And in Toronto, a developer has created an entire Muslim suburb in an effort to merge traditional Islam with contemporary Canadian society.

14 Topics All Islamic Schools Should Address During High School | Dr Shadee Elmasry

dissertation topics in islamic studies

If you or someone you know is involved in an Islamic school, please read this and pass it on. This is critical to our growth as a community.

The people in Islamic schools have been honored with the charge of teaching the deen to the next generation. Teachers have them for 180 days a year. If they have a deen or Islamic Studies class twice a week, that is 72 periods a year. If we multiply this by four years of high school, that’s nearly 275 hours of tuition.

By 7th grade, students should have completed Shamail, seerah, aqidah, and fiqh —basically the fundamentals of the religion. All of high school should then be spent wrestling hard with the shubuhaat (doubts and thorny issues) that will be thrown at them in college.

Here is a list of things that I believe can be covered by junior year, leaving all of senior year for it to marinate in their minds through a comprehensive review and a senior paper. Here’s the list (in no particular order). Please feel free to add to it in the comment section:

1 Myth or truth: The historicity of the sources. How the Quran and Hadith were compiled and preserved

2 The theology and cosmology of gender

3 Evolution: what are our beliefs regarding the creation of the first man. Animals? The concept of “Be and it is.”

4 Secular ethics: who has the authority to decide what’s right and what’s wrong? Can religion be boxed into only the home and the masjid

5 Universalism: are religions subjective?   Do all paths lead to God? Or is one of them true?

6 Women in Islamic history. There is an eight volume work on female scholars of hadith. There were many more rulers and queens among and influential contributors in other fields.

7 Sexuality between fiqh, theology, and interaction . How do I interact with my gay colleague? Can I go to his wedding? How do my deal with my sister if she comes out as a lesbian ?

8 Riba: what is is and how does it relate to loans and modern finance contracts

9 Marriage: the right ways and the wrong ways of going about it. Marriage related issues in the Muslim Student Associations.

10 Citizenry, Loyalty & Identity: Between faith and nationalism. How to balance our deen and it’s world-wide Ummah and our citizenry in a non-Muslim majority country, particularly one at war with Muslim countries

11 The Deluge of Temptations: the spiritual, psychological, physical, familial, social, and financial side-effects of pornography and drugs.

12 Philosophy: the “Problem of Evil,” “Can God create a rock He can’t lift?” And other failed coups. A high school senior in a Muslim school should be able to write an essay on these topics with their eyes blindfolded.

13 Liberal Reform in Islam: Is the Sunnah a source of legislation? What is usul al-fiqh? A high school junior in an Islamic school should be able to give a talk on the sources and methodology of Islamic legislation as well as the fundamental differences between the madhhabs.

14 Spirituality – students must learn to detect the signs of a dimming faith and spiritual atrophy,  as well as know the simple methods of haunting and reversing the downward spiral.

I would venture to say that thousands of American Muslims and  millions world-wide lose their iman in college. Islamic schooling is truly effective if it’s seniors graduate armed with deep and nuanced understandings of the challenges to come. We need to be a creative minority. Our seniors should enter into college with an agenda of their own (outlined in their senior thesis). We need to be the subjects of history not the objects. Instead of being the naive targets of someone else’s agenda, we need to have our own thought and our own agenda.

Be the predator, not the prey.

JazakumAllahu khair for raising these important issues to be discussed in Islamic schools.

While I agree that children should learn all the topics mentioned, we need to address who among the Islamic school staff is capable of discussing these topics. These are topics that academics and scholars struggle to explain, in addition to the lack of consensus on many of these matters.

Before these matters can be taught to adolescent Muslim youth, both rich content needs to be available for educators and a pedagogy for how to teach these issues. This requires a fair level of collaboration among teachers and subject matter experts.

Muslim children in addition to everything Dr ElMasry has mentioned, need to be taught Islamic history as well. They need to know how the Khilafa was abolished in Turkey, they need to understand the colonial history and how much of every single Islamic country was under the grip of the European powers and how that caused an erosion of much of our literature, history, culture, language and overall identity of being Muslim and the concept of Ummah. However, with the minimizing of the globe through globalization, I think we have a unique opportunity to really get our children to link with the Ummah. Only then will we rid ourselves of the secular aspects of nation states and the blind faith we place on this aspect.

-Logic/Mantiq- the basis for critical thinking, is NOT taught in public schools, or Islamic schools

–VERY important: the study and PRACTICE of Islamic Arts, the indifference to beauty is indifference to Allah, as one Islamic Arts professor put it very eloquently in his article, The Silent Theology of Islamic Arts. (a must read for us all).

-I agree with the above comment of Islamic History, Ottoman/ Moghul Empires.

May Allah help us in realizing these high aspirations!

Thank you for this list; it’s helpful, and unfortunately not brought up nearly enough. I would add the importance of encouraging the three physical components of education that comes to us by way of hadith: teach your children swimming, horseback riding, and archery. There is benefit in other sports, but these have particular spiritual benefits that we can be assured are prophetic.

Another glaring problem in our curriculums is the lack of very good history books. I’d say Destiny Disrupted might be a good book for high schoolers, but the most important thing is understanding the roots and development of Western culture as well as the causes of decline of Muslim civilizations. It’s of critical importance that Muslims know at what point in history they stand, so that they may learn what it is they must do, bi’dnillah.

And Allah knows best.

I appreciate this effort of making the issues available for teaching contemporary Islam in schools for students who are in a panic state. More importantly, caliber muslim intellectual borad dealing worldwide islamic issues should be set up to tackle the burning problems in muslim world. Backwardness of muslims is the cost of lack in group efforts. And we muslims have ideas but these ideas grow and exhibit without utilisation. Unity is what ummah atfirst place represents for.

i think this is expecting too much from high school children. they should focus more on secular studies to get into good college and enhance their critical thinking skills. Nowadays, high school students have short attention span and are pretty immature

Not only is that statement offensive, it is false. You have no idea the capabilities and intellect of high school students when they actually put effort into it. Look at other programs across the country, AP and IB classes all have this amount of rigor or more. Why can’t the same bar be applied to a crucial subject like Islamic Studies? When we start dumbing down our future, we have already lost.

' src=

January 18, 2018 at 7:20 PM

Although these topics are truly important and relevant, I must assert the importance of instilling the basics of faith and understanding of the deen both intellectually and emotionally in children in much younger stages. Although we focus a lot on the youth, part of the problem is that children are growing up only knowing Islam as a list of requirements, words recited in Arabic, and a list of prohibitions. Someone who grows up armed with only the above, yet emotionally vested in non-Muslim cultural norms may not find it worthwhile to sort through the more complex “youth” topics.

You have pulled out some points, which are really need in our education institutions, even, not only for Islamic school but also in Islamic state school. Unfortunately it is happening alter, i.e. our Islamic schools have been following basic schools curriculum as to be modern. My brother!! you made some valid points, these are very essential to guide our advance mature child. These should be the very first tuition to get through our child as a decent human being in this growing secular & nasty society. Hope for the best in future,,,may Allah help us to imply these all….

They say that education is wasted on the young.

' src=

January 23, 2018 at 5:41 PM

Several points come to mind after reading this excellent post and the comments which follow it: 1. Many of the older Muslims in the U.S. were not born or brought up here, but our Muslim youth were born here and are being brought up in the United States. If we, as serious and caring Muslim adults, leaders, guides, and educators, truly want to prepare our youth to take pride in an identity which is often misunderstood, and which has been – especially recently – the subject of attack and concentrated misinformation, then we owe it to them to give them the wherewithal to do so. This very much includes the tackling of the post’s topics… and more. 2. This should not be considered a “fluffy, liberal” extra tacked on to traditional Islamic educations. It is absolutely critical that these issues be addressed head on, in an atmosphere which is non-judgmental and non-threatening. I have been in Islamic education for many years and have witnessed first-hand the disillusionment, sense of betrayal – and bewilderment our Muslim youth face at college and beyond after leaving the protected confines of their Islamic school and/or community. 3. It is NOT serving our Muslim youth, our Muslim Ummah, or even the future of Islam in the United States, to ignore these thorny issues. Bottom line: If they are not getting their answers from knowledgeable, conscientious, understanding adults, they most certainly WILL ask others! And they often don’t like the answers that they get. The Internet is a Pandora’s box of information, and misinformation. Shameful but true: American, anti-Muslim prejudice and discrimination is widespread. When we send our youth into such situations unarmed, uninformed, and/or under-informed, they SUFFER – a LOT!

having worked a number of years with troubled youth and being a father of three I can assure you that the muslim youth that are insulated from reality due to over protective parents (this not exclusively an issue with muslim parents) who feel they are preparing children for adulthood are preparing them to venture out into the world (college for instance) ill-equipped and thoroughly enabled setting them up for the harsh reality that their peers are going to challenge them to think and question their belief system. College is not only a time to continue academic studies to earn a degree in a subject that will hopefully translate into paycheck, college is a time when the student is trying out being an adult and socializing with their peers. A time when they are full of idealism and really think they are able to change the world. if they are unprepared to meet the inevitable struggle that awaits them they will indeed be prey and the predator will be able to smell their vulnerability as soon as they walk in the room.

Rifat Islam

January 28, 2018 at 7:17 PM

I know another commenter has mentioned Mantiq/Logic but a science that’s both praised in the ancient and modern worlds is rhetoric and debate. Islamic high schools throughout the country have generally been absent from the state and national debate tournaments. Debating domestic and foreign policy trains them to think critically, argue fluently and persuasively, etc. So I highly encourage any Islamic high schools to register motivated students to their local debate tournaments.

I would appreciate if a lesson about “Sticking to the Jama’ah” would be added. Our youth tend to distance themselves from the Jama’ah and the Imam to the point to declare that there is no need to follow any person or any authority or institutional religion. Some of them later become disoriented and religious in their own way. This way often leads to all kinds of deviations and extremism. The Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam has informed us in the hadith of Hudhayfah radiallahu ‘anhu in which he said: “The people used to ask the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam about the good, and I used to ask him about the evil out of fear that it would reach me.” So I asked the Messenger of Allah: “O Messenger of Allah, we were living in ignorance and evil, then Allah brought this good to us. So will there be any evil after this good?” He replied: “Yes.” I then asked: “Will there be any good after this evil?” He replied: “Yes, but it will be tainted.” So I asked: “What will be its taint?” He replied: “A people who guide others to other than my way, you will approve of some of their actions and disapprove of others.” I further enquired: “Then is there any evil after this good?” He said: “Yes! Callers at the gates of Hell – whoever responds to their call, they will be thrown into the fire.” I then said: “O Messenger of Allah! Describe them to us.” He said: “They will be from our people and speak our language.” I asked: “So what do you order me to do if that reaches me?” He said: “Stick to the Jama’ah (the united body) of the Muslims and their Imam (ruler).” I further asked: “What if they have neither Jama’ah or an Imam?” He said: “Then keep away from all those sects, even if you have to bite upon the roots of a tree, until death reaches you whilst you are in that state.” Related by al-Bukhari (no.7084) and Muslim (no.1847)

I hate to disagree, but as someone with extensive experience in curriculum design as well as a mother of 2 high schoolers (a junior and a senior), this article shows a shocking lack of understanding in respect to educational psychology, child development, and general curriculum design. Most disheartening is the lack of understanding for the needs of high schoolers, especially seniors. At this point in their studies, the topics they study should be focused on action not theories. Especially as seniors on the cusp of entering the “real world”, they should be DOING not philosophizing. Of the 14 points mentioned in the article, only a few address the social issues that are inevitably faced by college students. The rest – philosophical. The emphasis needs to be shifted, drastically. Topics should be relevant, meaningful, and actionable from a student’s perspective. Additionally, students need to revisit topics periodically throughout their formative years. The idea presented that students should have completed their study of seerah, aqidah, fiqh, etc. by 7th grade might sound great in theory but not in reality. The changes that take place in a student morally, cognitively, physically, emotionally, etc. from 7th grade to 12th grade are astounding. There are also issues for implementing this schoolwide, which I will not get into on a FB post at the moment :) The solution: a spiral design curriculum, the reevaluation of student goals, and a more action-oriented pedagogical approach to achieving those objectives.
