“This language standard is based on the results of consistent reviews from the English editors of the Ahkam team, who in fact graduated from international reputable universities,” he said.

In line with Tholabi, Ahkam Editor in-Chief Khamami Zada also said that said that this pattern is to ensure the articles to be published meet the standards required by Ahkam
