About the Journal

Maqasid Tarbiyah: Journal of Islamic Education and Human Flourishing (abbreviated as Maqasid Tarbiyah) is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal published in English. The journal is dedicated to publishing original research articles, conceptual studies, literature reviews, and book reviews in the field of Islamic education, with a distinct emphasis on maqasid-oriented educational thought and human flourishing.

The journal positions itself at the intersection of Islamic educational philosophy, pedagogy, and contemporary social, cultural, technological, and humanitarian realities. It seeks to advance scholarly understanding of how Islamic education cultivates virtuous character, intellectual depth, spiritual integrity, and civic responsibility, in line with the higher objectives (maqasid) of tarbiyah.

Maqasid Tarbiyah is not a journal of Islamic law (fiqh), Islamic economics, Quranic exegesis (tafsir), hadith, da'wah, or general Islamic studies. It is a journal of Islamic education that employs the maqasid framework as a philosophical, ethical, pedagogical, and evaluative lens.

The journal is published twice a year (June and December) and adopts a double-blind peer review process. All articles are made freely available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).
