Journal of Digital Islamic Thought
The Journal of Digital Islamic Thought (JDIT) is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing scholarship on Islamic intellectual traditions within digitally mediated contexts. Rooted in the core disciplines of Ushuluddin—Qur’anic studies (tafsir), Hadith studies, Islamic theology (kalām), Islamic philosophy, Sufism, and Islamic political thought—the journal positions digitality as an epistemic domain that reshapes the production, circulation, interpretation, and authority of Islamic knowledge. JDIT’s central contribution lies in the development of Digital Ushuluddin Studies as a distinct analytical field. The journal moves beyond viewing digital media as a neutral tool and instead examines how digitally mediated environments transform religious epistemology, interpretive practices, and discursive authority in contemporary Islam. It aims to produce theoretically grounded, methodologically rigorous, and conceptually innovative research that contributes to global debates in Islamic Studies and digital religion. JDIT publishes original research articles that critically engage with the intersections of Islamic thought and digital transformation, using diverse approaches, including textual and hermeneutical analysis, philosophical inquiry, critical discourse analysis, and digital ethnography. The journal’s scope includes, but is not limited to: Digital Tafsir and Qur’anic Studies Digital Hadith Studies Digital Islamic Theology (Kalām) Digital Islamic Philosophy Digital Sufism Digital Islamic Thought and Reform Digital Islamic Political Thought JDIT prioritizes analytically driven studies that offer conceptual clarity and theoretical advancement, particularly those grounded in contemporary digital contexts and informed by perspectives from the Global South. Purely normative discussions are not considered unless embedded within broader socio-digital analysis. By establishing Digital Ushuluddin Studies as a focused domain, JDIT seeks to provide a specialized and internationally relevant forum for examining the transformation of Islamic thought in the digital age.
