Abstract

This editorial introduces the new issue of Iqra Annual as part of a continuing cultural and intellectual project associated with Sharjah Library and its mission to strengthen book and reading culture. It highlights the annual’s commitment to combining artistic renewal with epistemic grounding through themes related to libraries, books, reading, heritage, and cultural publications. The text also situates the issue within Sharjah’s wider cultural landscape, particularly its connection with the Sharjah International Book Fair and the emirate’s role in Arab and Islamic cultural activity. The editorial emphasizes the expansion of the annual’s intellectual scope and its contribution to a balanced knowledge discourse that links cultural memory with contemporary renewal.
