Aim and Scope

JIEDI has been developed to promote the publication of rigorous, high-quality research that advances theoretical and empirical knowledge in the Islamic digital economy. It encourages interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies that combine insights from technology, finance, marketing, sociology, and ethics. It provides a platform for exploring how Islamic principles and values can be integrated and adapted to modern digital practices. It further seeks to highlight the relevance of Sharia compliance in the evolution of digital business models and technologies.

JIEDI supports the exploration of new technologies and their applications in the Islamic digital economy, including fintech, blockchain, e-commerce, and AI. It also illustrates innovative solutions that adhere to ethical standards and contribute to the sustainable development goals. As the SDGs align with the broader Islamic values and principles, which emphasize social justice, environmental stewardship, and ethical economic practices, this Journal aims to both highlight and promote these sustainable practices. Islam promotes the idea of responsible consumption, caring for the environment, and ensuring the well-being of all individuals. These values support the overarching goal of creating a sustainable and equitable society, where the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Thus, while the SDGs provide a structured framework for global development, they are indeed a reflection of deeper Islamic teachings about responsibility and balance in all aspects of life.

All applications of digitalization and digital transformation in various industries in the Islamic economy and society are welcomed. Therefore, JIEDI publishes a variety of other content to advance research on and discourse about the relevant fields:

  • Double-Blind peer-reviewed articles
  • Case studies
  • Technical notes
