The Encyclopaedia of Islam Online provides access to over 13,000 articles on every aspect of Islam from Ababda to Zurna. It covers Middle Eastern and Islamic studies and provides articles on distinguished Muslims of every age and land, on tribes and dynasties, on the crafts and sciences, on political and religious institutions, on the geography, ethnography, flora and fauna of the various countries and on the history, topography and monuments of the major towns and cities. In its geographical and historical scope, it encompasses the old Arabo-Islamic empire, the Islamic countries of Iran, Central Asia, the Indian sub-continent and Indonesia, the Ottoman Empire and all other Islamic countries.

The Encyclopaedia will be updated and expanded in Geographic scope: it will cover South Asia, South East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, and North America, in addition to the Arab World, Iran, North Africa, and the Ottoman Empire with the Balkans. Chronologically, coverage will begin with the advent of Islam and continue to the Present Day, including the modern muslim diaspora. Coverage includes anthropological and sociological scholarship, while continuing to devote ample attention to Islamic philology, linguistics, history, literature, art history, and material culture.
