Original Research Articles present empirical findings, conceptual advances, or theoretical analyses across key areas of Islamic studies, including Qur'anic and Hadith studies, Islamic law, theology, philosophy, education, and contemporary Islamic thought.

• Methodological Scope: Welcomes qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods approaches utilizing primary texts, archival/documentary data, field investigations, or rigorous textual hermeneutics.
• Structural Rigor: Submissions must articulate clear research questions/objectives, an explicit theoretical or conceptual framework, precise source or data selection, analytical procedures, and original findings that advance scholarship.

Review Articles offer comprehensive, critical evaluations of existing literature within Islamic studies. The journal accepts systematic literature reviews (SLRs), scoping reviews, integrative reviews, and narrative syntheses.

• Critical Synthesis: Must extend beyond descriptive summaries by identifying research gaps, resolving conceptual inconsistencies, comparing scholarly perspectives, and proposing directions for future research.
• Search Methodology: Authors must clearly state literature search parameters, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and analytical or synthesis protocols applied.

Special issues address designated thematic topics relevant to Islamic studies. Contributions may arise from open calls for papers or direct editorial invitations. Special issue manuscripts are a publication category subject to the exact same double-blind peer-review standards, desk evaluations, and ethical criteria as regular submissions; inclusion in a special issue does not guarantee acceptance.
