Vol. 20251 No. 1 (2026): Constructing Historical Continuities: Reimagining Cross-Civilizational Epistemologies
Islam Today Journal

This volume explores the processes through which historical continuities are constructed, contested, and reimagined across civilizations, with a particular focus on Islamic thought and institutions from the classical period through the modern era. It invites contributions that examine how knowledge traditions—religious, philosophical, legal, scientific, and educational—have been transmitted, transformed, and reinterpreted across temporal, cultural, and geopolitical boundaries.

Key themes include the role of Islamic institutions such as madrasas, waqfs, and scholarly networks in sustaining and reshaping epistemic traditions; the interactions between Islamic and other civilizational knowledge systems (e.g., Hellenistic, Indic, European); and the ways in which modernity, colonialism, and globalization have affected the continuity or rupture of intellectual legacies. The volume also encourages critical reflection on historiographical approaches to "continuity," problematizing linear narratives and exploring alternative frameworks for understanding knowledge transmission and adaptation.

By rethinking cross-civilizational epistemologies, this volume aims to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how intellectual traditions are not merely inherited but actively constructed in dialogue with historical context and cultural exchange.
