Vol. 2 No. 2 (2025): Al-Afham: Journal of Islamic Studies
This issue brings together six cutting-edge contributions that explore the intersections of classical Islamic scholarship and contemporary global challenges. From re-examining the Qur’an’s stance on religious freedom and interrogating Islamic ethics in the age of digital privacy, to tracing the genealogy of Javanese Qur’anic exegesis and situating Islam within the discourse of the Sustainable Development Goals, the articles highlight both continuity and transformation in Islamic thought. 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.
