Manuscript Structure (IMRAD Format)

Manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Qur’an and Hadith Studies should follow the IMRAD structure (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion), followed by Conclusions and References. This structure ensures systematic presentation and clarity in scholarly communication, especially within Qur’anic and Hadith research disciplines.

1. Introduction

This section introduces the topic, research background, and problem statement. It should highlight the significance of the study, summarize previous scholarship, and clearly state the research objectives or questions. For Qur’anic or Hadith studies, the introduction should also identify the textual, historical, or methodological problem that motivates the research.

2. Methods

The Methods section explains the approach, sources, and analytical framework used in the study. It should describe how the author interprets, compares, or contextualizes Qur’anic or Hadith texts, and clarify whether the study employs literary, thematic, linguistic, or historical analysis. For empirical studies, include data collection methods, analytical techniques, and tools used to ensure transparency and replicability.

3. Results

This section presents the main findings of the study in an organized and coherent manner. For textual or interpretative studies, this may include key themes, linguistic findings, or patterns identified from the primary sources. Tables, figures, or excerpts from texts may be used when necessary to support the argument.

4. Discussion

The Discussion interprets the findings in relation to the research question and previous studies. It should explain how the results contribute to the broader understanding of Qur’anic or Hadith scholarship, address contradictions or confirmations with earlier works, and provide theoretical or methodological implications. Authors should demonstrate originality and critical engagement with both classical and contemporary sources.

5. Conclusion

The Conclusion should succinctly summarize the key findings, interpret their significance, and suggest potential directions for future research. It must clearly answer the research question and may include reflections on the study’s contribution to Qur’anic or Hadith interpretation, Islamic thought, or the development of related disciplines. Authors should avoid introducing new data in this section.

6. References

All cited works must be included in the reference list and formatted according to the Turabian Manual Style. The accuracy and consistency of all citations are the responsibility of the author.
