The International Hadith Study Association Network is made up of the institutions and individuals in receipt of the Hadith Encyclopedia from the Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation and who have an active interest in hadith studies. The intention behind the formation of the Association is twofold:
1. to encourage, facilitate and advance world-wide, work in all the disciplines of hadith study by means of the Hadith Encyclopedia Database, and through mutual assistance and encouragement between members of the Association; and
2. continually to enrich the Database by means of the research it encourages and the interaction of all the members working in the field.
