The Special Issue will explore the manifestation of Islamophobia in the post-Christchurch and Covid-19 era worldwide, especially in the West. Some key themes:

- Islamophobia in the aftermath of Christchurch attacks

- Islamophobia and Covid 19 pandemic (and lockdowns)

- Interaction between online and offline (physical) Islamophobia in post Christchurch and Covid 19 era

- Far-right populism and Islamophobia

- Islamophobia on the 20^th anniversary of 9/11

This is the second special issue of the Australian Journal of Islamic Studies that focuses on the topic of Qur’ānic exegesis or tafsīr al-Qur’ān in the non-Arab world. While the first special issue (Volume 6, Issue 4, 2021) mainly analysed Qur’ānic exegesis in Southeast Asia and Africa, this second issue extends its focus from Western Islamic lands to the Eastern parts (Ottoman to the Indian subcontinent), particularly Qur’ānic exegesis in Persian and its reception west of Iran, tafsīr in the Ottoman and Turkish Republic periods, Azerbaijani Qur’ān commentaries, and tafsīr in the Indian subcontinent.

AJIS is seeking submissions for Volume 7, Issue 2. This issue welcomes scholarship on Islam and Muslims in Australia and worldwide. If you have a paper that aligns with our journal aims and objectives, we would like to consider your submission for our upcoming new issue. Contributions are encouraged from Islam and Muslim related disciplines and sub-disciplines; these may include theology, philosophy, sociology, jurisprudence, contemporary studies, comparative religion, spirituality, Qur’anic and Sunnah studies, history and art.
