Al-Mada: Journal of Religion, Social, and Culture, Volume 7, Number 2 (2024), features authors affiliated with higher education institutions across Indonesia, representing seven provinces: Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, East Java, Central Java, South Sulawesi, and Lampung. The contributors come from diverse universities and Islamic higher education institutions across Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. This geographical diversity demonstrates the journal's national academic reach and its engagement with scholarly communities from different regional and institutional backgrounds.
In terms of thematic coverage, the articles in this issue demonstrate strong alignment with the journal's Focus and Scope, particularly in religion, Islamic studies, sociology, culture, education, and contemporary social issues. The contributions explore topics such as vernacular mosque architecture, Islamic family law and local marriage traditions, religious and cultural practices, pesantren education, artificial intelligence in teaching, the relationship between religion and economic development, mental health, maqasid al-sharia, social adaptation, Islamic inheritance practices, political conflicts, Sufism, cultural rituals, and Islamic peace education. This interdisciplinary coverage reinforces Al-Mada's role as an academic platform for examining the intersections of religion, society, and culture through diverse scholarly perspectives.
