PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of the University was inspired by the recommendations of the first World Conference on Muslim Education held in Mecca in A.H 1398 (A.D. 1977). The spirit and meaning of this philosophy is based on the Holy Quran, in particular the five Quranic verses revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), namely, Surah al-Alaq, verses 1-5.

According to this philosophy:

i. knowledge shall be propagated in the spirit of Tawhid, leading towards the recognition of Allah as the Absolute Creator and Master of mankind;

ii. the recognition of Allah as the Absolute Creator and Master of mankind represents the apex in the hierarchy of knowledge;

iii. knowledge is a trust (amanah) from Allah and its development shall be in conformity with the purposes behind Allahs creation of the universe;

iv. knowledge should be utilised by man, as the servant (abd) of Allah and vicegerent (khalifah) on Earth, in accordance with the will of Allah;

v. the quest for knowledge is regarded as an act of worship (ibadah).

VISION AND MISSION

1. LEADERSHIP AND TRAINING UNIT

A. Training Programme

Leadership and Training Unit, Student Development Department is responsible for managing two types of training, compulsory and non-compulsory training programmes. Compulsory training refers to the programmes that all CFS students must attend. It includes Fardu Ain Classes, Study Circle, Nurturing the Khalifah Programme and Innovative Leadership and Management Programme (ILM). Non-compulsory training consists of programmes conducted by the Unit to enhance various skills such as leadership, management and problem solving skills.

COMPULSORY TRAINING PROGRAMMES i) Tilawah Al-Quran Classes

Undoubtedly, the Quran needs serious attention by Muslims, particularly students of Islamic institutions such as the Centre for Foundation Studies of the International Islamic

University Malaysia. Naturally, the Muslim community expects students to recite the Quran well, at least for the fulfillment of daily requirements as Muslims and later as leaders of the community.
