Journal of Malay Islamic Studies (JMIS) With E-ISSN 2580-4731 (online) and P-ISSN 2580-4723 (print) is a scientific journal published by Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang, Indonesia, serving as a platform for disseminating original research-based works in the field of Malay Islamic Studies. JMIS was established to address academic needs in showcasing the institutional strengths of Raden Fatah State Islamic University Palembang through international publications. The journal first appeared in June 2017 in both electronic and printed formats, focusing on social issues and religious diversity within Islamic societies, particularly in the Malay world encompassing Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, and Southern Thailand.  

JMIS encompasses interdisciplinary studies that deeply examine Islam in the Southeast Asian region, emphasizing theological, legal, educational, cultural, and socio-dynamic aspects of Malay Muslim societies. It explores both traditional themes such as fiqh and Islamic history, as well as contemporary issues like Sharia economics, women’s rights, and religious pluralism. Through a multidisciplinary approach, JMIS aims to serve as an academic dialogue platform between local and global Islamic thought, enriching perspectives on the unique and dynamic Islamic landscape in the Malay world.  

As a reputable journal, JMIS holds Level 4 (Sinta 4) accreditation under the Decree of the Ministry of Education and Culture No. 36/E/KPT/2019, ensuring rigorous editorial processes and scientific quality. All articles submitted via its online system (https://jurnal.radenfatah.ac.id/index.php/jmis) undergo strict peer-review by international expert reviewers, maintaining high academic standards aligned with principles of transparency and objectivity. The journal’s credibility is further strengthened by its international authorship and readership, positioning it as a primary reference for researchers, academics, and practitioners interested in Islamic studies in Southeast Asia.  

Committed to advancing inclusive and relevant Malay Islamic studies, JMIS continues to promote innovative research linking local traditions with global challenges. It contributes not only to enriching academic knowledge but also to promoting moderate, tolerant, and socially just Islamic values within modern Malay societies. Supported by digital technology and international collaboration networks, JMIS is poised to become a strategic reference for understanding the complexities of Islam in Southeast Asia, both theoretically and practically.
