The As-Sibyan is dedicated to publishing high-quality research that integrates Islamic values, principles, and pedagogy with the best practices of Islamic Early Childhood Education (IECE) for children aged 0-8 years. The journal serves as a scholarly platform for academics and practitioners to advance the knowledge and professional implementation of faith-based early childhood programs.

The primary focus is on empirical studies, theoretical reviews, and development research that examine the synthesis between Islamic teachings (Tarbiyah Islamiyah) and modern pedagogical approaches. We emphasize the development of children's holistic potential across physical, cognitive, linguistic, and socio-emotional domains, anchored in Islamic moral and ethical frameworks.

The journal accepts high-quality articles covering, but not limited to, the following core areas of Islamic Early Childhood Education:

• 1. Child Development and Spiritual Nurturing 
• Studies on the development of children's Moral and Religious Values and their influence on behavior and character.
• Investigations into the role of Religiosity as a moderating or causal factor in children's psychological well-being and developmental milestones.
