Social sciences prevalent in our society are undoubtedly imported disciplines, drawing their intellectual and theoretical foundations from non-Islamic, predominantly Western and secular cultures, and deeply intertwined with Western issues and solutions. The efforts made in recent years to indigenize these disciplines—let alone Islamize them—have been extremely limited and, in most cases, superficial. Even these limited efforts have failed to free social sciences from the fabric of materialistic, positivist, and secularist approaches and foundations. Because they have not been detached from the culture in which they originated, mainstream social sciences remain alienated from their own social context, treating the problems of Western societies as their own and assuming that Western approaches and solutions can also resolve their domestic challenges.
The Department of Sociology at the Imam Khomeini Educational and Research Institute has launched this journal with the aim of publishing scholarly articles in the fields of social sciences and sociology from an Islamic perspective. To date, four issues of this journal have been published.
