Instructions for Authors

  1. Manuscript Scope and Originality:

  • Abstract (approximately 200 words, including research background, objectives, methods, key findings, conclusion, and significance)

  • Keywords (3–5 terms representing the core ideas of the study)

  1. Article Structure:
    For empirical research articles, the main sections should include:

Supporting materials like tables and figures may be included to enhance clarity. Each table and figure must be center-aligned, numbered sequentially, and referenced within the text (e.g., Table 1, Figure 1). The title should appear above the table, while the source (if applicable) should be placed below the table and aligned to the right.

  5. Conclusion:
    The conclusion should concisely summarize the main findings and highlight their theoretical and practical implications in the context of Islamic education and moderation. Use bold Cambria 12 pt and avoid indentation.
