The Islam and Science Fiction website started in 2005 when I was still an undergrad student, the website and turned into a larger project which resulted into an anthology A Mosque Among the Stars, numerous conference appearances, conventions including NYCC (New York Comic Con). This is something that I could not have anticipated when the project started. It is high time for Islam and Science Fiction to expand and move onto the next stage so expect many, hopefully great, changes in the near future: This year and the next expect a book text from us, new contributors and a larger presence online so stay tuned. Last but certainly not the least, one of our former contributors Sofia Samatar, has been nominated for a Hugo Award. Congratulations to Sofia!

Islam and Science Fiction is a website on all things related to Islam, Muslims and Science Fiction and everything in between.The exploration of Islam and Science Fiction is from a cultural and social perspective, from a cultural and civilizational sense. A more appropriate term would be Marshall Hodgson's Islamicate. Thus this site is a compendium of novels, short stories, novellas, movies etc which either has Islamic themes or have Muslim characters. You can contact the editor at maahmad@uw.edu
