Islamicjerusalem Studies

Islamicjerusalem Studies is a multidisciplinary academic field focused on the region known in Arabic as Bayt al-Maqdis, examining it from an Islamic perspective. The field integrates Islamic Studies, theology, history, geography, archaeology, architecture, and socio-political analysis. The term Islamicjerusalem reflects a broader and more nuanced understanding of the region, emphasizing inclusivity and diverging from the Western association of "Jerusalem" primarily with Israel.
Background
The field of Islamicjerusalem Studies was established in 1994 by Abd al-Fattah El-Awaisi, who introduced a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary framework for studying the region. The concept of Islamicjerusalem encompasses three central elements: the land, its population, and a vision of inclusivity. Since its inception, the term Islamicjerusalem has gained recognition in international academic institutions, such as the University of Aberdeen and the University of Malaya, and has been promoted through publications by IB Tauris, Almi Academic Press, and other publishers.
