Submissions

Author Guidelines

Manuscripts submitted to the editorial board will be considered for publication if they meet the following criteria:

• Articles must be written in English. Manuscripts should be scholarly, focused on Islamic studies, original, and based on research or literature reviews that contribute to the development of the field.
• Articles must be original, research-based, unpublished, and not under consideration by other journals.
• The title must be clear, concise, and no more than 15 words.
• Authors are not required to include academic titles.
• Manuscripts must be prepared in MS Word format using Constantia font, 12 pt, 1.5 line spacing, A4 paper size, and a length of 4,500–6,000 words, including abstract and references.
• Each manuscript must include an abstract of 100–200 words and 3–5 keywords.

Article Format:

Introduction: explains the theoretical background, relevant research, practical context, and the purpose of the study. The literature review should present a clear “knowledge map,” include relevant theories and concepts, and refer to reputable journal articles published within the last 10 years.

Research Methods: describes the research design, participants, materials, procedures, and data analysis techniques.

Results and Discussion: results must be presented clearly and concisely. The discussion should interpret the significance of the findings rather than merely restating them. A combined Results and Discussion section is acceptable when appropriate. Excessive citations and overly long discussions should be avoided.

Conclusion: presents the main findings briefly. This section may stand alone or be included within the Discussion or Results and Discussion section.

References: must be arranged alphabetically. All cited sources must appear in the reference list. For non-research articles, the manuscript should include a main theme, logical development, author perspective, implications, and conclusions.

Additional Provisions:

• Manuscripts will be reviewed and edited without altering their substantive content.
• In-text citations must include the author’s name, year, and page number, or be managed using Mendeley in APA style (e.g., Iska, 2005: 47).
• References must follow APA (7th edition) style and be managed using Mendeley.
• References must be current, with a minimum of 20 sources, and at least 80% derived from primary sources or reputable international journals accessible to readers. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of references. All references must be cited in the text; otherwise, they will be removed.
