About the Journal

Ilmu Ushuluddin is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing critical and innovative scholarship in the field of Islamic theology. It explores the evolving discourse of Islamic knowledge, practice, and authority across historical periods and contemporary contexts.

The journal invites contributions that engage substantively with Islam as an intellectual, ethical, and lived tradition. While rooted in classical disciplines—such as Quranic exegesis (tafsīr), ḥadīth studies, theology (kalām), philosophy, and Sufism (taṣawwuf)—the journal encourages new approaches that investigate texts and practices through modern critical perspectives, including but not limited to:

  1. The transformation of Islamic theology in response to modernity, coloniality, and globalization
  2. Contemporary reinterpretations of Islamic ethics, ritual, and authority
  3. Vibrant Islamic practices in various social and institutional settings
  4. The role of media, technology, and performance in shaping Islamic expressions
  5. Postcolonial, decolonial, and critical-theoretical approaches to Islamic theology
