The focus of this journal articulates our editorial mission and the specific research orientations we prioritize. Rather than offering broad coverage alone, we actively seek submissions that provide empirically grounded, methodologically rigorous, and theoretically informed insights. Our editorial interest is directed toward scholarship that investigates how linguistic practices actively construct, negotiate, and disseminate Islamic knowledge, authority, and identity. We place a particular premium on work that challenges traditional paradigms through critical discourse analysis, demonstrates innovation in digital and corpus-based methodologies, and examines the nuanced intersections of Islamic norms with modern technological and societal realities.
The journal prioritizes empirically grounded and methodologically rigorous studies that emphasize:
Constructed Identity & Authority: How language serves as a medium to build and negotiate Islamic knowledge and ideology.
Methodological Innovation: Critical, digital, and corpus-based approaches to discourse and sociolinguistics.
Localization & Reinterpretation: Research that moves beyond literal translation to examine how Islamic texts are localized for specific audiences.
Linguistic Bias in Technology: Identifying and analyzing how AI and digital platforms represent or misrepresent Islam.
Normative Interaction: Studies that examine how Islamic social and religious norms dictate "appropriateness" in communicative behavior.

The Scope of this journal defines the interdisciplinary boundaries of our publication. We invite original research and scholarly contributions that bridge the fields of Applied Linguistics and the study of Islam. Our domain spans both classical and contemporary contexts—ranging from the traditional textual analysis of the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical works to the rapidly evolving study of language within digital platforms, AI-mediated discourse, and global Muslim communities. We are committed to representing a comprehensive spectrum of inquiry, including sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, translation studies, and pragmatics, as far as these fields advance the understanding of language as a dynamic medium for religious and cultural practice.

Applied Linguistics in Religious Contexts: The study of Islam through contemporary social and technological lenses.
