Focus and Scope

The Indonesian Journal of Islam Today (ID-JIT) adopts a multi-perspective approach to capturing the dynamics of contemporary Islam. The journal aims to bridge the gap between Islamic normative values and practical realities in the modern era, while also addressing the tensions between traditional and progressive thought.

The journal serves as a scholarly platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners to explore the dynamic interaction between classical Islamic texts (al-Qur’an, Hadith, and Islamic intellectual traditions) and current social, political, economic, cultural, and technological contexts.

The journal particularly emphasizes studies that engage in reinterpretation, contextualization, and critical analysis of Islamic thought in responding to modern and post-modern challenges faced by Muslim societies at local, national, and global levels.

Scope of the Journal includes, but is not limited to:

  • Contemporary Islamic Thought and Intellectual History

  • Qur’anic and Hadith Studies in Modern Contexts

  • Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) and Contemporary Legal Issues

  • Islam, Society, and Social Transformation

  • Islamic Ethics, Morality, and Human Values

  • Islam and Public Policy, Governance, and Law

  • Islam, Economics, and Islamic Political Economy

  • Islam, Culture, Media, and Digital Society

  • Islam and Gender, Family, and Social Justice

  • Islam, Education, and Pedagogical Innovation

  • Islam, Science, Environment, and Sustainability

  • Islam and Interfaith Relations

  • Indonesian Islam and Global Muslim Discourses

ID-JIT welcomes empirical research, critical literature reviews, and conceptual papers that contribute to advancing Islamic studies, particularly those offering new perspectives, contextual interpretations, and policy-relevant insights on Islam in contemporary life.
