Conference Overview

A space for legal dialogue and knowledge exchange.

“How can local wisdom serve as a bridge between Islamic legal thought, national legal systems, and global norms in building fair, peaceful, and inclusive societies?”

The International Conference on Islamic Law, Sharia Studies & Governance (ICILSG 2026) provides an academic forum for examining how Islamic law and sharia respond to the realities of a plural and digital world.

The conference brings together scholars, researchers, postgraduate students, legal practitioners, and policymakers to exchange ideas on the foundations of Islamic law, its role in society and governance, and its engagement with emerging legal, technological, and social challenges.

Under the theme “Islamic Law in a Plural and Digital World: Local Wisdom, Global Challenges,” ICILSG welcomes original research using doctrinal, normative, empirical, comparative, historical, and interdisciplinary approaches.
