Aims and Scope

The Global Islamic Research Journal (GIRJ) (ISSN Print: XXXX-XXXX | ISSN Online: XXXX-XXXX) is an open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the advancement of high-quality scholarship in all fields related to Islam and Muslim societies. The journal serves as a global forum for academics, researchers, scholars, practitioners, and students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds who engage with Islamic studies and related areas of inquiry.

GIRJ is committed to publishing original, innovative, and methodologically rigorous research that explores Islamic thought, law, history, culture, education, economics, and contemporary socio-political issues affecting Muslim communities worldwide. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, drawing on perspectives from law, social sciences, humanities, education, economics, political science, ethics, theology, and digital studies, provided that the research maintains a clear and substantive engagement with Islam or Muslim contexts.

The journal aims to facilitate critical dialogue between classical Islamic scholarship and contemporary academic discourse, fostering intellectual exchange that contributes to both theoretical development and practical understanding. By providing a scholarly platform for diverse perspectives, GIRJ seeks to enhance academic literacy in Islamic studies, support comparative and contextual research, and address pressing issues related to identity, governance, ethics, reform, and globalization within Muslim societies at national, regional, and global levels.

Through rigorous peer review, ethical publication practices, and open access dissemination, the Global Islamic Research Journal aspires to strengthen international research collaboration, promote cross-cultural understanding, and contribute meaningfully to the ongoing development and modernization of Islamic scholarship in the global academic community.
