The fourth edition of the Bukhari Knowledge Festival (BKF) took place on December 25-27, 2023, across four venues. Returning as a physical event for the first time since its inaugural edition, it featured 214 faculty members, 89 sessions, and over a thousand attendees. Prominent figures and young scholars contributed towards enriching the discussions and reinforcing BKF’s role as a key platform for intellectual discourse.

In 2022, BKF took its discussions to the theological aspects of Islam. Engaging topics such as the interpretation of sacred texts, the evolution of Islamic jurisprudence, theological debates, and the role of religious authorities, this edition featured a robust program with 70+ sessions. The exploration of these themes contributed significantly to the intellectual depth of BKF.

The second edition in 2020 elevated the thematic richness of BKF by delving into Islamic jurisprudence, philosophy, and travel. While giving due importance to these themes, the edition maintained its commitment to inclusivity by incorporating discussions from various knowledge domains. With over 60 sessions, BKF continued to weave a fabric of enriching intellectual conversations.

In 2018, the inaugural edition of the Bukhari Knowledge Fest (BKF) made a distinguished entry into the intellectual landscape. Focused on Ilmul Kalam, epistemology, and politics, this edition conducted an in-depth exploration through 50 detailed sessions. BKF’s commitment to diverse and profound intellectual discourse found its roots in this foundational edition.
