  2. The article is the result of the research/original work of the author, not plagiarism. If the article is derived from an undergraduate thesis (skripsi), thesis, or dissertation research, the author must state it in the acknowledgement.
  3. The article has not been published, processed in another journal, and/or is not being submitted to another journal.
  4. Articles can be written in Indonesian or English.
  5. If the article is written in Indonesian, the abstract must be written in two languages, English-Indonesian. If it is written in English, then the abstract is only in English. Each abstract (English and/or Indonesian) part consists of 150-200 words, written in 1 paragraph, spaced 1.

  10. Writing footnotes and bibliography using the "Mendeley" application, with APA style.

Title
the title should reflect the content of the article, written briefly and attractively. the material object and formal object must be clearly stated in the title.

 

Abstract

The abstract should comprise approximately 200 to 230 words and concentrate on the academic problems addressed, research objectives, theoretical frameworks, and methodologies utilized. It should also summarize the research findings and the theoretical or practical implications for advancing discourse on Islamic legal thought within the specific context, with particular emphasis on the pertinent issues examined.

 

Keyword
Authors are required to provide five (5) keywords that precisely represent the central themes and concepts of the article. Each keyword should begin with a capital letter and be separated by a semicolon (;). The chosen keywords must be specific, pertinent, and consistent with the manuscript's content to improve indexing and searchability.

 

Introduction

The introduction must clearly and coherently establish the fundamental basis of the research. (1) Authors are expected to provide a well-articulated justification for the selection of the primary research topic, emphasizing its academic relevance and significance. (2) Furthermore, the rationale for choosing the specific object of study should be elucidated to demonstrate its theoretical and empirical importance. (3) Additionally, the introduction should critically engage with the scholarly debates among international researchers concerning both the main research topic and the object of study, underscoring key perspectives, gaps, and unresolved issues. (4) Authors are required to explicitly articulate the academic problem, clearly define the research question(s), and delineate the research objectives, ensuring that these components are logically interconnected and consistent with the overarching argument of the article.

 

Literature Review

Authors are expected to provide a literature review that reflects critical and analytical engagement with pertinent scholarly works. The reviewed literature should be structured into a coherent narrative that synthesizes central arguments and findings, rather than merely listing them descriptively. It is recommended that authors incorporate a wide array of authoritative and current sources. The concluding paragraph of this section must explicitly underscore the novelty of the research by delineating its differences from prior studies and clearly articulating its original academic contributions.

 

Method
The author is advised to provide a comprehensive explanation of the principal components of the research methodology. This should include: (1) a presentation of the theoretical framework, specifying the theory utilized, the perspective adopted, the justification for selecting this theory, and the application of key variables within the theory to the current study; (2) a detailed description of the study context and the data collection methods employed, along with identification of the corresponding data sources; (3) an articulation of the research type or approach, accompanied by an explanation of its implementation within the study; and (4) an elucidation of the data analysis techniques applied in the research.

 

Result

Authors are expected to present their research findings in a detailed and comprehensive manner, offering a thorough and systematic analysis of the results. When a study addresses multiple research questions, the results section must explicitly and adequately address each question in alignment with the stated academic problem. Furthermore, authors should maintain a clear focus, ensuring that the presentation of findings is logically organized, coherent, and consistent with the overall structure of the research.

 

Figures, Tables, and Other Illustrations

If tables, figures, images, or other visual illustrations are included, authors must provide high-resolution files as supplementary attachments to their submission. Visual materials should be used selectively and only when they directly contribute to the analysis. Whenever possible, authors are encouraged to present data and analyses in narrative form rather than relying heavily on visual representations.

 

Analysis and Discussion

Authors are expected to deliver a critical and comprehensive analysis of the research findings, focusing specifically on issues pertinent to the primary research topic and the cases under investigation. This section should transcend mere descriptive reporting by providing an analytical engagement with the findings and contextualizing them within relevant theoretical frameworks and scholarly literature. Furthermore, authors are encouraged to explore the practical and/or theoretical implications of the results for the evolution of Islamic legal thought. The discussion should also identify particular issues that offer opportunities for further academic inquiry, thereby fostering the advancement of rigorous and substantive knowledge production.

 

Conclusion

The conclusion section should encompass at least two fundamental elements. First, authors should provide a succinct synthesis of the research findings derived from the results and discussion sections, emphasizing the principal arguments and contributions of the study. Second, authors are expected to critically evaluate the weaknesses and limitations of the research. Based on this critical reflection, authors may offer scholarly recommendations or propose directions for future research that other researchers can pursue to advance the field further.

 

Acknowledgement

Authors may acknowledge specific individuals or institutions, including colleagues, research collaborators, or affiliated organizations, that have provided academic, technical, or institutional support for the research.

 

Disclosure Stetment

Authors must clearly disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including financial, institutional, or personal relationships, as well as the involvement of any parties that could influence or be perceived to influence the objectivity of the research. Full disclosure is required to ensure transparency, maintain academic integrity, and provide clarity for readers.

 

Generative AI Usage Statment

They must also confirm that all outputs were reviewed and edited under human supervision. The use of generative AI is strictly limited to supportive functions and must not involve generating scholarly arguments, literature reviews, data, data analysis, or conclusions. Authors retain full responsibility for the originality, accuracy, argumentation, citations, and ethical integrity of their manuscripts. AI tools must not be credited as authors or contributors. Detailed provisions regarding the ethical use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies are available in the GENERATIVE AI POLICIES section on the journal’s website.
