About the Journal

Nurturing Intellectual Synergy in Islamic Knowledge

Embodying the spirit of foundational intellectual inquiry, Bidayah: Journal of Islamic Studies (E-ISSN: XXXX-XXXX) serves as a premier, peer-reviewed open-access scholarly medium managed under the auspices of Yayasan An-Nur Meunara Baro. The journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality, conceptual, and empirical research that bridges classical Islamic thought with modern societal dynamics.

Scope of Research

The journal promotes critical dialogues and welcomes original submissions in the following areas:

Islamic Jurisprudence & Legal Studies (including Sharia governance, national law harmonization, and Islamic criminal law).
Philosophy of Islamic Education (epistemological concepts, pedagogical methods, and traditional-modern educational values).
Classical Thought & Civilization (textual exploration of major Islamic scholars and historians).

Socio-Religious Dynamics (contemporary Islamic movements, digital religious authority, and identity representation).
Qur'an and Hadith Hermeneutics (exegetical approaches in dealing with modern realities).
Islamic Economy & Halal Industry (the nexus between religious compliance and social development).

Operating on a regular triannual schedule, Bidayah releases its issues consecutively in March, July, and November. To ensure the highest academic integrity and objective scrutiny, every manuscript submitted undergoes a rigorous double-blind peer-review system evaluated by international experts in the field.

Established in 2026, the journal strongly advocates for the globalization of Islamic knowledge. In line with open-access paradigms, all published works are instantly accessible under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
