This issue of AJISS features outstanding essays from several academic disci- plines: history, Islamic studies, management, and philosophy.
He opines that the growing and somewhat disparate efforts of scholars entering the field are very promising, and hopes that his article will help them focus on certain issues that he believes are crucial for positive and beneficial long-term developments not only in the academy, but also in the actual arena of management.
Ashraf Adeel’s “Diversity and Exclusivity: A Religion Needs Both,” situates the conundrum of religious pluralism and exclusivity in an overarching framework that allows religions to make exclusivist claims while simul- taneously stressing their ability to articulate pluralist visions that are conducive to world peace.
Adeel’s well-reasoned essay points to the need for religions ii The American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences 26:1 to make exclusivist claims so that people can commit to them deeply.
I would also like to take this chance to thank Dr. Louay Safi, Dr. Jasmin Zine, Maliha Chishti, Dr. Ejaz iv The American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences 26:1 Akram, Dr. Rafik Beekun, and everyone else who provided me with much needed support and guidance when I was just starting my journey with AJISS.
*** Over the last twenty-six years, AJISS has carved out a special niche for itself as a journal that examines Muslim perspectives on issues of modernity, as well as the study of Islamic and Muslim history in all its complexity, from various academic dis- ciplines.
