| | Islam & Science: Islamic Studies |
 | | Comparative study of Islam and other religions, Christianity and Judaism in particular, has been an important facet addressed by Islamic Studies. | | | Hence, the journal welcomed "articles from all thinkers in matters Islamic, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, satisfied that the truth, which is one and God is One, and is irresistible, as God's will is irresistible, will not fail to break through every barrier...". | | | One of the goals of the journal was to cast new light on the Islamic tradition and to reevaluate this tradition in order to serve the contemporary needs of the Ummah. |
