Al-Bayān is a rigorously peer-reviewed academic journal on Qurʾān and Ḥadīth studies. It was founded in 2003 by the Department of Qurʾān and Ḥadīth at the prestigious Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, the oldest and highest-ranking Malaysian institution of higher education, and continues to be edited and hosted there. Firmly rooted in Malaysia, the journal has a highly international editorial board.

Al-Bayān publishes articles in English, Arabic, and Malay on both historical and contemporary interpretations of the Qurʾān and Ḥadīth. Respecting diversity, the editors welcome contributions from all academic traditions and perspectives, be they Muslim or non-Muslim; from the Islamic world or the West; Classic or contemporary. The journal is published in collaboration with Brill since 2011.
