About the Journal

Jurnal Studi Al-Qur'an (JSQ) is an international, peer-reviewed journal advancing scholarship on Qur'anic Educational Transformation Studies (QETS). It is accredited SINTA 3 (Decree Number: 204/E/KPT/2022, 3 October 2022). The journal examines how the Qur'an shapes educational thought, ethical formation, human development, professional agency, and social transformation. JSQ is distinctive in asking not merely what the Qur'an means, but how the Qur'an transforms persons, institutions, and societies through education.

Focus

Jurnal Studi Al-Qur'an (JSQ) explores how the Qur'an contributes to the transformation of individuals, educational institutions, communities, and societies, in pursuit of human flourishing, justice, and sustainable futures. The journal engages the Qur'an across four dimensions of epistemic, ethical, professional, and societal transformations, treating it not merely as a text to be interpreted, but as a living force shaping thought, character, practice, and society.

Scope

1. Qur'an as Source of Knowledge This pillar is dedicated to exploring how the Qur'an shapes understanding, learning, and the formation of knowledge. It highlights Qur'anic educational philosophy and theory, as well as innovation in pedagogy and curriculum design. The journal welcomes work that examines how epistemic assumptions rooted in the Qur'an inform contemporary educational thought and practice.
2. Qur'an as Moral Community One of the distinctive focuses of this journal is the Qur'an's role in forming virtue, character, and ethical responsibility. As educational institutions increasingly grapple with questions of citizenship, justice, and compassion, there is a growing need for scholarly work that addresses moral and communal formation from a Qur'anic perspective. This focus examines how ethical transformation is cultivated through Qur'anic teaching and learning.
3. Qur'an as Catalyst of Agency This area focuses on how educators and institutional leaders enact meaningful change, informed by Qur'anic teaching. It explores teacher agency and educational leadership, alongside the integration of science, technology, and knowledge, including emerging questions of artificial intelligence in education. Articles are encouraged to explore how professional actors translate Qur'anic understanding into practice, particularly amid technological and institutional change.
4. Qur'an as Vision of Flourishing Futures The journal welcomes innovative approaches to the study of Qur'anic education in relation to sustainability, human development, and social transformation. Contributions should offer new perspectives, evidence, or methodologies addressing how Qur'anic education contributes to flourishing individuals, resilient institutions, and just, sustainable societies, including comparative and global perspectives.
