About Us

(A Biannual Online Urdu Journal)

Launched in the year 2019, the biannual Tajdeed is an academic research journal. It has been published by Institute of Religious and Social Thought (IRST). So far, it has published its three issues and received support from the academia in India and abroad.

Aims & Objective

Primary objective of the biannual Tajdeed is to acquaint and make the Islamic ideology stand to the contemporary challenges. As the name suggests, it focuses on removing cognitive inertia, and reforming and reconstructing the religious thought. For this purpose, it is necessary to promote the tradition of Islamic modernism and enlightenment. Without this, it is impossible to bring the Islamic thought in relevance with the contemporary requisites.

Its objectives particularly include the development of critical consciousness among madrasa graduates, so that they are able to analyze the ideological tradition of Islam in the light of contemporary issues, and thereby, play an important role in development of the Islamic thought. A pressing need of time is also to reform the syllabus and system of madrasas. To convince the intelligentsia in this regard will, therefore, be a part of this journal’s objective.

Another important aim of the Tajdeed is to develop an atmosphere of interfaith dialogue. Clash and conflict among nations and civilizations is clearly witnessed in today’s globalized world. We believe that, to diminish this conflict and establish social integrity, the moderate thought of Islam needs to be promoted.

Important themes
Preferential themes of the Tajdeed include:
  • Reconstruction of the Islamic Thought
  • Analysis of the Contemporary Trends of the Islamic Thought
  • Analyzing the important issues faced by the Islamic Thought
  • Islamic Epistemology
  • Interfaith Dialogue
  • Neo-Ilm al-Kalam
  • Islamic Rationalism and Philosophy
  • Western and Indian Ideology and Philosophy
  • Islamic Modernism
  • Need of Reform in the Syllabus of Deeni Madrasas
  • Study of the thoughts and writings of old and modern noted thinkers of the Indo-Islamic thought and philosophy
  • Study of the leading social thinkers of the West
