Focus and Scope

Madinah: Jurnal Studi Islam publishes interdisciplinary research on Islamic thought and practice within Muslim communities. The journal adopts a community-based approach, welcoming studies that engage with the socio-cultural, economic, educational, legal, or religious realities of coastal, urban, and inland Muslim communities. These diverse settings offer distinctive contexts that shape the lived realities and intellectual expressions of Islam.

The journal welcomes contributions across key thematic areas. Qur'anic studies, Hadith studies, Islamic history, and Islamic thought may adopt theoretical or literature-based approaches, focusing on textual analysis, conceptual reflection, and classical scholarship. Meanwhile, Islamic education, Islamic law, Islamic economics, and Islamic culture are encouraged to be explored through empirical fieldwork, case studies, or community-based inquiry. Submissions that integrate both theoretical and practical dimensions are also welcome, provided the methodological coherence is clearly articulated.

By aligning disciplinary focus with appropriate research methods, Madinah: JSI aims to advance original scholarship that reflects Islam as both a normative tradition and a dynamic social reality, always in dialogue with the communities where it is lived and practiced.
