Emin Er has published a large number of books in Arabic, focusing on the basic disciplines within Arabic linguistics
(such as morphology
, syntax
, and logic
), as well as more advanced disciplines (such as Islamic law
, especially in relation to spiritual psychology, or Sufism

to present-day needs and concerns.
Emin Er is known for statements concerning the compatibility of Islamic thought with the teachings of the Judeo-Christian tradition, in particular that the rigorous emulation of the life of the Prophet Muhammad
necessarily leads the believer to the emulation of Jesus and Moses.
