ASEAN Journal of Islamic Studies and Civilization (AJISC) reflects shariajournal’s strong commitment—together with researchers from various ASEAN universities—to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship in Islamic studies and civilization, particularly within the Southeast Asian context.

The journal welcomes original research articles, conceptual analyses, and critical reviews that explore:

• Contemporary Islamic thought and philosophy in Southeast Asia

• Islamic law (fiqh, family law, Islamic constitutional law, etc.) in ASEAN settings

• Qur’anic and Hadith studies from Southeast Asian perspectives

• Islamic education in the ASEAN region

• Islamic economics and finance

• The history and development of Islamic civilization in Southeast Asia

• Social, cultural, and political issues concerning Muslims in ASEAN countries

• Religious moderation and the development of multicultural societies in Southeast Asia

• The interaction between Islam and local wisdom across the region

AJISC is designed to appeal to both regional and global audiences. It aims to foster agenda-setting scholarship and provide a vibrant forum for dialogue and collaboration within and beyond Southeast Asia.

The journal encourages interdisciplinary approaches, bridging Islamic studies with broader issues in the humanities and social sciences, including gender studies, environmental concerns, comparative religion, philosophy, political and ethnic studies, as well as decision-making and public policy related to Muslim communities.

An essential part of AJISC’s mission is to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and applied, context-based Islamic scholarship across ASEAN societies.

AJISC seeks to nurture academic contributions that are deeply attuned to regional dynamics, cultural pluralism, and Islamic scholarly traditions, while also promoting global engagement and comparative insights beyond the ASEAN region.
