Central Theme: Transformation and Challenges of Sharia Law in Addressing Contemporary Issues

This edition brings together  to enrich the discourse on Sharia and positive law. The focus revolves around critical issues such as gender justice, protection of women's and children's rights, reformulation of family law concepts, and the application of Islamic legal principles amidst modern social dynamics. The primary objective is to explore how Sharia and positive law can address challenges arising from structural inequalities, social value shifts, and globalization.

Collectively, these articles highlight several recurring themes, including the persistent structural barriers to gender equality, the reinterpretation of traditional Islamic legal concepts to meet contemporary social needs, and the interplay between local customs, Islamic jurisprudence, and national legal frameworks. The edition emphasizes the importance of integrating Islamic law with international legal standards to address global challenges such as gender-based violence, early marriages, and economic justice.

This volume serves as a significant contribution to the discourse on Sharia and positive law, offering a balanced perspective between theory and practice. It aims to provide a robust reference for academics, legal practitioners, and policymakers in addressing contemporary legal challenges. Moving forward, the journal aspires to foster greater international collaboration by encouraging submissions from scholars in Malaysia, Thailand, Jordan, and Turkey, enriching the dialogue with comparative perspectives and cross-border insights.
