Vol. 1 No. 1 (2025): December

The inaugural issue of the Journal of Contemporary Islamic Law and Studies (JCILS) presents five original articles that examine the transformation of Islamic law in response to contemporary global challenges. This issue highlights the evolving intersections between Shariah, governance, and emerging technologies in the 21st century.

The contributions cover key themes including algorithmic governance, legal pluralism, zakat and social justice, human rights, and blockchain-based finance. Each article introduces innovative conceptual frameworks that move beyond traditional approaches, offering new perspectives on Islamic legal authority and its adaptation to modern contexts.

Collectively, this issue reflects a shift toward dynamic, interdisciplinary, and future-oriented Islamic legal scholarship. It positions JCILS as a platform for advancing critical and globally relevant research at the intersection of Islamic law, governance, and technological transformation.
