The journal explores how Islamic traditions of Qur’anic exegesis and Hadith scholarship, legal reasoning, theology, philosophy, and ethical reflection are articulated, debated, and transformed in response to social, political, and cultural change, and how these traditions interact with lived realities, institutions, and structures of authority in Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority settings worldwide.

The studies gathered in this volume of Islamic Studies Review (Vol. 5, No. 1, 2026) are drawn together by a shared willingness to reopen questions long treated as settled and to recover the plurality that the appearance of certainty tends to conceal. Ranging across political thought, the philosophy of science, religious education, jurisprudence, and the politics of gender, they ask how inherited concepts, authorities, and practices are interpreted, contested, and remade under the conditions of modernity. What binds them is a disposition as much as a subject matter, namely a readiness to read critically, to trace genealogies, and to treat received framings not as closed verdicts but as open resources for ethical and intellectual reflection. Together they invite readers to engage Islam as a living, plural, and unfinished tradition.
