    Vol. 2 No. 2 (2025)

    This issue brings together six cutting-edge contributions that explore the intersections of classical Islamic scholarship and contemporary global challenges.

Complementing these contemporary concerns, the issue also revisits the epistemological function of Isrā’īliyyāt narratives and showcases Ibn Qutaibah’s enduring method of reconciling contradictory hadiths. Together, these studies offer readers a timely, critical, and insightful engagement with the evolving landscape of Islamic studies in the 21st century.
