Karachi Islamicus

About the Journal

The peer-reviewed Karachi Islamicus provides a forum for multi-disciplinary research into the complex dynamics of religious discourses and practices across various faith traditions worldwide, both historical and contemporary. While the journal maintains a strong focus on Islam, it also acknowledges the interconnected nature of global religious traditions, fostering scholarly engagement with Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, and other spiritual and philosophical systems.

The journal’s underlying premise is that religion around the world is characterized by a variety of pluralisms. There exists a pluralism of religious communities that actively engage with one another through dialogue, coexistence, and cultural exchange. Additionally, there is a pluralism of societal systems, including nations, law, politics, economy, science, and art, all of which interact with religious traditions in complex and evolving ways. Furthermore, a pluralism of scholarly discourses contributes to the study of religious dynamics, drawing from disciplines such as religious studies, legal studies, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, psychology, and political science.

Karachi Islamicus encourages new research that critically examines and responds to the evolving global dimensions of religious studies. By exploring both the shared and distinctive aspects of various faith traditions, the journal seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of religion’s role in historical developments, contemporary societal transformations, and intellectual progress.
