JSQ: Jurnal Studi Al-Qur’an

Focus

Jurnal Studi Al-Qur’an (JSQ) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes scholarly research on the Qur’an, with a particular focus on Qur’anic educational transformation.

The journal examines how the Qur’an shapes education in four dimensions: how knowledge is formed, how character is cultivated, how educators and leaders act, and how communities and societies change. JSQ approaches the Qur’an not merely as a text to be interpreted, but as a living source that shapes thought, character, practice, and society.
