From May 20–22, 2025, SRI had the honour of participating in the 3-day conference “Devotion to the Prophet’s Family in Islamic Thought and Practice” hosted by the Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS).
Dr. Vinay Khetia presented on “Duʿāʾ Zaman al-Ghayba: An Instance of Messianic Devotional Literature in Twelver-Imāmī Shiʿism,” contributing to a rich exchange on Ahl al-Bayt-centered devotion across narrative, ritual, art, and identity.
We thank the IIS and all scholars who shared their insights in this meaningful and interdisciplinary gathering.
