Ta’dib was firstly established in the beginning of 1998, pioneered by Dr. Ramayulis, M.A, Dr. Hasan Zaini, M.A., Drs. Syukri Iska, M.Ag. and some lecturers of STAIN Batusangkar (now Universitas Islam Negeri Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar). The name “Ta’dib” was suggested by Dr. Ramayulis, M.A, the rector of STAIN Batusangkar. The reason underlying the name was that STAIN Batusangkar was previously derived from Fakultas Tarbiyah (Faculty of Education) .
The first publication of Ta’dib for January-June edition was in July 1998. At the same time, an International Seminar on “Integration of Religion and Science" was held by STAIN Batusangkar. The Chief Editor for the first edition was Dr. Hasan Zaini, M.A, and the editors were Drs. Syukry Iska, M.Ag., Bukhari Umar, M.Ag., Zulmardi, M.Ag., Dra. Suswati Hendriani, Drs. Muhammad Fazis, and technical editors ( for lay-out) were Drs. Masril, and Maman Suherman, S.Kom.
