Focus and Scope
Focus and Scope
El-Mizzi: Jurnal Ilmu Hadis focuses on the scholarly study of hadith as a textual, historical, and living tradition within Muslim societies. The journal publishes original research that places hadith, hadith sciences, or the social reception of hadith as the main object of analysis.
The scope of the journal is limited to the following areas:
- Hadith Textual and Methodological Studies
Research on matn and sanad criticism, takhrij al-hadith, jarh wa ta‘dil, ‘ilal al-hadith, mukhtalif al-hadith, asbab wurud al-hadith, gharib al-hadith, hadith classification, and the development of classical or contemporary hadith methodology. - Hadith Interpretation and Contextualization
Studies that analyze the meaning, function, and contextual relevance of hadith in relation to legal, theological, ethical, educational, social, or cultural issues. Articles in this area must use hadith as the primary source of analysis, not merely as supporting evidence. - Living Hadith and Reception Studies
Research on the reception, practice, transmission, and negotiation of hadith in Muslim communities. This includes studies of religious rituals, local traditions, pesantren practices, mosque communities, family life, public preaching, and everyday religious behavior shaped by hadith. - Digital Hadith and Contemporary Transmission
Studies on the circulation, interpretation, and authority of hadith in digital spaces, including online hadith databases, social media da‘wah, digital religious authority, hadith misinformation, and the use of artificial intelligence in hadith search, classification, or authentication. - Historical and Manuscript Studies of Hadith
Research on hadith manuscripts, scholarly networks, transmission routes, hadith commentaries, biographical literature, and the intellectual history of hadith scholarship in classical, medieval, modern, or Southeast Asian contexts.
El-Mizzi: Jurnal Ilmu Hadis prioritizes manuscripts that offer clear research questions, sound methodology, strong engagement with primary hadith sources, and a specific contribution to hadith scholarship. The journal accepts textual, historical, philological, ethnographic, bibliometric, digital humanities, and interdisciplinary approaches, provided that the article remains directly focused on hadith or living hadith.
The journal does not accept manuscripts that discuss Islamic studies in general without a clear hadith-based object, articles that use hadith only as ornamentation or secondary citation, purely normative essays without research method, or descriptive writings that do not offer analytical contribution.
