Aim & Scopes

JURNAL YADIM: International Journal of Islam and Contemporary Affairs publishes original research articles, review articles and, on a selective basis, book reviews in the fields of dakwah, the administration of Islamic affairs, and community development. The journal provides an international scholarly platform for theoretical, empirical and practice-oriented discussions on contemporary Islamic issues, with particular attention to Muslim societies, plural societies, the Southeast Asian region, the wider Muslim world, and contemporary global developments.

The journal’s scope comprises three interrelated areas:

Dakwah

This area covers studies on dakwah thought, dakwah methodology, dakwah approaches and strategies, dakwah leadership, dakwah figures and institutions, digital dakwah, dakwah and media, dakwah among youth and families, community-based dakwah, intercultural dakwah, dakwah in plural societies, and contemporary challenges in dakwah.

Administration of Islamic Affairs

This area covers studies on the governance of Islamic institutions, management of Islamic agencies, administration of mosques and suraus, management of zakat, waqf and baitulmal, halal administration, Islamic education, Islamic family law, implementation of Islamic affairs policies, religious authorities, integrity, leadership in Islamic organisations, and the delivery of public services related to Islamic affairs.

Community Development

This area covers studies on human development, social well-being, family and youth development, community empowerment, social harmony, Islamic social work, volunteerism, social cohesion, vulnerable groups, spiritual well-being, mental health, the environment, digital society, and the role of Islamic values in addressing contemporary social issues.

In addition to these three main areas, JURNAL YADIM welcomes submissions from related disciplines, including economics, finance, sociocultural studies, psychology, history, law, environmental studies, media and communication technology, health, education, and public policy, provided that the manuscript demonstrates a clear and substantive contribution to dakwah, the administration of Islamic affairs, community development, or contemporary Islamic discourse
