Al-Iqtishad: Journal of Islamic Economics

is a peer-reviewed academic journal that provides a distinctive and authoritative platform for the development of knowledge at the intersection of Islamic law, economic theory, and public policy. Rooted in the perspective of Islamic legal studies, the journal explores contemporary global issues and emerging trends related to the governance, legal and regulatory frameworks, ethics, and structure of Islamic economic systems.

Uniquely positioned to lead international discourse on the legal foundations and normative ethics of Islamic economics, Al-Iqtishad promotes original and critical scholarship that contextualizes Sharia principles, particularly through the framework of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘a (the higher objectives of Islamic law), within both Muslim-majority and pluralistic societies. The journal also aims to inform policies and practices that support justice, inclusion, and the empowerment of marginalized communities, contributing to the development of a just, sustainable, and human-centered economy.

Importantly, Al-Iqtishad recognizes the value of local wisdom and indigenous knowledge systems in enriching the interpretation and application of Islamic economic principles. It encourages research that engages with cultural traditions, community-based practices, and contextualized solutions rooted in diverse localities, especially in Muslim societies.
