I. K. A. Howard was a distinguished scholar of Islamic studies, and one of the few Western scholars to devote themselves the study of [[Shiʿa|Shi’a]] Islam. He translated a number of important Shi’a texts and wrote a series of articles on Shi’a Islam at a time when there was little other work being undertaken on this important subject in Western universities, as such he can be seen as a pioneer in the field. For many years he held a senior lectureship at the University of Edinburgh where he taught Arabic and Islamic studies. He then taught English in the Middle East, in the Yemen and Lebanon, in the 1960s and early 1970s and thus began his lifelong interest in Arabic and Middle Eastern studies leading to a degree in Arabic from the University of London, and an MA from the American University in Beirut in 1972, which he studied for part-time. It was after receiving his PhD, on Shi’ah law, from the University of Cambridge in 1975, that he became a lecturer at Edinburgh in 1976. Howard died in March 2013. | [[Howard Ian Keith Anderson|I. K.
