Just arrived home last night after attending a meeting since Saturday 10th till Sunday 11st December at Concorde, Kuala Lumpur. The meeting was aimed to design an academic programme for an intended newly-established post-graduate university to be named Universiti Islam Malaysia, initiated by the Majlis Raja-Raja of Malaysia.
We came to an agreement on designing an integrated trans-disciplinary academic programme, inextricably combining natural and social sciences within authentic Islamic epistemological and philosophical paradigm, that is able to produce Quranic, Sunnatic, Encyclopedic and Ijtihadic students at graduate level.
