A total of 43 issues of this journal were published up to 1428 A.H. (2007). Then, on Muharram 13, 1429 A.H., a decision was made by the Scientific Council to change the names of some UQU journals and publish seven new journals, each specializing in certain aspects of human and scientific knowledge.

Accordingly, Journal of UQU for Shari`ah Sciences and Islamic Studies commenced its research activity. The first issue after changing its name was issue no.
