Editorial board members of the journal are experts in many aspects of religious studies. Their appointment was based on initial proposal from Program Studi Ilmu Agama Islam Program Magister and approved by Fakultas Ilmu Agama Islam.

Some of them are experts that previously been involved in academic activities in the university or the faculty or the study program. Prof. Auda, for example, was a supervisor of a Ph.D. student in the faculty. He also was involved in a discussion in the faculty and a conference held by the faculty. Other members, Prof. Nor and Prof. Ismail, also involved in this conference that was held offline back in 2018.

In some cases, communication with editorial board members can also be in the form of official visit to their campus, especially that were close to Indonesia.

Hafiz Mekiฤ‡ was also once involved in a stadium generale and a conference hel virtually in 2022. Based on these activities, the faculty approaced him for position in editorial board of the journal. Other approach used by the journal to ask potential editorial board members was based on review or submission. Editor-in-chief can view an expert willingness to collaborate from the interaction as a reviewer or as an author. Once an expert agree to join the board, official letter was prepared and signed by the Dean.

Some editorial board members are professors and researchers in the faculty. This approach should be understood as part of the faculty efforts to maintain journal's quality as well as to provide professors and researchers in the faculty international academic exposures and experiences. 

The list of editorial board members as well as associate editors in the online version is updated regularly. At some point, when a professor retired or passed away, the name will be dropped from online version. The name can still be found on printed version of the issue. The journal's website provide the full names and affiliations of the editorial board members as well as associate editors. Addtional information such as Google Scholar Profiles, ORCID, and Scopus Author ID were also presented. The email address of the editorial board members as well as associate editors is enclosed to avoid any inappropriate usage.

The list of editorial board members of the journal is fulfilled only by experts trully agree to join. The journal never use the names of the experts for potentially illegal or predatory activities in academic publishing.
