About the Journal

The Journal of Islamic Humanities and Social Inquiry (JIHSI) is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research within the fields of Islamic humanities and social sciences. Managed through the OJS (Open Journal Systems) platform, the journal serves as a vital interdisciplinary space for critical engagement with Islam as a multifaceted religious, intellectual, social, and cultural phenomenon.

Mission and Scholarly Vision
JIHSI aims to promote critical, original, and contextual scholarship that reflects the diverse experiences, expressions, and intellectual currents of Islam across both time and space. The journal is particularly interested in the interactions between Islam, Muslim societies, and other religious or cultural traditions, fostering a deeper understanding of the internal dynamics of Muslim communities in relation to global issues.

Interdisciplinary and Methodological Approach
In line with its focus on "Inquiry," JIHSI encourages scholarly approaches that integrate various methodologies. We welcome contributions that utilize:

  • Textual and literary analysis of primary Islamic sources.
  • Conceptual and comparative frameworks across historical and contemporary contexts.
  • Empirical fieldwork and ethnographic methods, including interviews and participant observation.

This methodological diversity is intended to capture the complexity of Islam in both its normative frameworks and its everyday practices.
