Call for Papers

As an independent, non-partisan, non-sectarian platform, Islam Today is a new kind of a platform for researchers, scholars, experts, and professionals who apply sound, consistent, and testable frameworks of analysis and explanation from all disciplines.

While the adjective “Islamic” is used to describe the journal, it is used the same way it was used during the peak of the Islamic civilization: as a reference to the determinant system that was inclusive of all spiritual and faith expressions beyond the religion of Islam. With that framing in mind, Muslim and non-Muslim scientists, scholars, experts, professionals, and thinkers are invited to write for Islam Today Journal and join in renewed application of holistic approaches to understanding our worlds—both corporeal and incorporeal.

Authors with expertise in astronomy, business, engineering, medicine, law, and other applied and empirical sciences in the social sciences and the humanities, who are able and willing to articulate soundly reasoned thought on the various forms of connections between faith and public life as seen through the lens of their profession and experiences are especially welcome to submit their work to Islam Today Journal.


Examples of research topics that fall within the scope of Islam Today Journal include (but limited to): modern and classical scientific interpretation of Islamic traditions, history of sciences in Islamic civilization, innovation in medicine in medieval Islamic societies, impact of Islamic rituals on developments in sciences (e.g., astronomy, medicine, alchemy, geography, etc.), Islamic engineering and architecture, urbanism in Islamic societies, effects of empirical and faith-based inquiries on public health in Islamic cultures, and the nature and functions of Islamic economic systems.
Submissions will go through an internal editorial review, an external double-blind peer review, and an Editorial Board review before publication. Read more about ITJ or make a submission.
