JOURNAL
OF ISLAMIC
JERUSALEM
STUDIES
The
‘Journal
of
Islamic
Jerusalem
Studies’
(JIJS)
is a
distinctive
and
unique
journal
in the
field.
In
winter
1997 the
Management
Committee
of the
Islamic
Research
Academy
(ISRA)
published
the
first
issue of
the
journal.
The
Journal
is
published
twice
yearly,
so far
seven
issues
have
been
published.
JIJS is
the
first
and the
only
refereed
scholarly
journal
that is
dedicated
to the
academic
study of
Islamicjerusalem.
The
Journal
publishes
articles,
documentations,
reports,
review
articles
and book
reviews.
The Journal
has opened
up a new
area of
specialisation
in
Islamicjerusalem
studies with
original
articles
addressing
Islamicjerusalem
from a wide
range of
subjects in
this area.
Addressing a
gap in the
published
periodical
literature,
JIJS
especially
seeks to
encourage
research
into
historical,
theological,
empirical,
theoretical,
conceptual
or cultural
themes and
topics. As
such, this
journal will
be essential
reading for
all those
who study
the Middle
East and the
Muslim
World.
JIJS aims to
provide a
forum for
scholars
working on
the subject
and all
those who
wish to
enhance
their
appreciation
of any
aspect of
Islamicjerusalem,
including
Islamic
Studies,
History and
Archaeology,
Art and
Architecture,
Literature's
and
Linguistics,
Geography
and Geology,
Environment
and
Politics,
and other
disciplines.
The journal
tries to
advance the
study of the
significance
and the
centrality
of
Islamicjerusalem
to the
Islamic
Faith and
Muslim
identity. To
promote
better
understanding
of the
region, the
journal will
also include
scholarly
contributions
studying
relations
between
Muslims and
non-
Muslims,
past and
present, in
Islamicjerusalem.
The Journal
of Islamic
Jerusalem
Studies is
now being
published by
the Centre
of
Islamicjerusalem
Studies at
