Introduction

The peer-reviewed Karachi Islamicus provides a forum for multi-disciplinary research into the complex dynamics of religious discourses and practices in Islam around the world, both historical and contemporary. The journal’s underlying idea is that religion around the world is characterized by a variety of pluralisms. There is a pluralism of religious communities that actively engage with one another. Additionally, there is a pluralism of societal systems, such as nations, law, politics, economy, science, and art, all of which interact with religious systems. There is also a pluralism of scholarly discourses, including religious studies, legal studies, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and psychology, that are addressing the religious dynamics involved. Karachi Islamicus encourages new research that responds to the changing Worldly dimension of Islamic studies.

Aims and Scope

Karachi Islamicus is an Academic Journal devoted to Islamic research and scholarship. It is to serve as a forum for scholars to write objectively, analytically and, where ever necessary, critically on Islamic History, Philosophy, Science, Arts, Culture, Archaeology, Law, Jurisprudence, etc. Karachi Islamicus brings out the achievements of Muslims in the fields of Humanities, Social and Natural sciences.

It aims at defining Islam in terms of its fundamentals in a rational and liberal manner emphasizing, at the same time, the basic Islamic ideals of universal brotherhood, tolerance, and social justice. It aims at interpreting the teachings of Islam in such a way as to bring out its dynamic character in the context of the intellectual and scientific progress of the modern world. It provides an open forum for a dialogue among the Fundamentalist, Conservative, and the Modernest schools of thought among the Muslims aiming at finding a balanced view. Karachi Islamicus endeavors, through dialogue, to find Islamic answers to the question relating to social, political, economic, and moral problems of the fast and drastically changing world of today
