About the Conference Proceedings Series

This platform serves as the official digital gateway for the 7th Annual International Imam Hussain (PBUH) Conference, held this year under the theme:

"Quranic Foundations in the Thought of Imam Al-Hassan Al-Mujtaba (PBUH): A Reading of Method and Approach."

The platform aims to fully automate the workflows for paper submission, peer review, and digital publishing to ensure the highest standards of transparency and academic rigor.

1. Focus and Scope

The conference focuses on exploring and clarifying the intellectual and Quranic heritage of Imam Al-Hassan Al-Mujtaba (PBUH). It welcomes contributions from researchers in both academic universities and Hawza institutions. We invite in-depth studies encompassing various axes, including exegetical (Tafsir), theological, jurisprudential, linguistic, and social dimensions related to the thought of the Imam (PBUH), with a strict emphasis on modern scientific methodologies in textual analysis.

2. Open Access Policy

Believing in the global dissemination of knowledge and the universal benefit of the heritage of Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT), the conference adopts a diamond Open Access Policy. All accepted papers published in the conference proceedings will be available to readers and researchers free of charge immediately upon publication. This approach maximizes the visibility, impact, and citation potential of the participating research.

3. Copyright Notice

Authors retain the copyright to their work while granting the conference the right of first publication in the official Conference Proceedings and partner peer-reviewed scientific journals. All published works are licensed under a Creative Commons license, which allows others to share the work with proper acknowledgment of its authorship, scientific originality, and initial publication on this platform.

4. Sponsorship and Organizing Bodies

The conference is held under the auspicious sponsorship of the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain, and is jointly organized by:

5. Conference Proceedings History

This event marks the 7th edition of the Annual International Imam Hussain (PBUH) Conference, a cumulative and sustainable scientific series that has successfully archived hundreds of qualitative research papers over the past years. The series has evolved digitally, and high-impact peer-reviewed papers are now documented and published within scientific journals affiliated with the Holy Quran House, establishing a foundational reference for postgraduate students and specialized researchers in Islamic and Quranic studies.

6. Peer Review Process

The platform implements a rigorous Double-Blind Peer Review system. The identities of both the authors and the reviewers are completely concealed throughout the evaluation process. This ensures absolute impartiality, integrity, and exceptional quality in the scholarly outputs selected for presentation at the conference sessions.
