International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)

Towards actu­al­is­ing the University’s vision, IIUM endeav­ours to:

• Under­take the spe­cial and greatly needed task of reform­ing the con­tem­po­rary Mus­lim men­tal­ity and inte­grat­ing Islamic Revealed Knowl­edge and Human Sci­ences in a pos­i­tive manner.
• Pro­duce bet­ter qual­ity intel­lec­tu­als, pro­fes­sion­als and schol­ars by inte­grat­ing the qual­i­ties of faith (iman), knowl­edge (‘ilm), and good char­ac­ter (akhlaq) to serve as agents of com­pre­hen­sive and bal­anced progress as well as sus­tain­able devel­op­ment in Malaysia and in the Mus­lim world.
• Fos­ter the Islamiza­tion of the ethics of Mus­lim aca­d­e­mic and admin­is­tra­tive staff of IIUM, and cer­tain aspects of human knowl­edge– par­tic­u­larly in the social sci­ences and human­i­ties– with the view to mak­ing them more use­ful and more rel­e­vant to the Mus­lim Ummah.
• Nur­ture the qual­ity of holis­tic excel­lence which is imbued with Islamic moral-​spiritual val­ues in the process of learn­ing, teach­ing, research, con­sul­tancy, pub­li­ca­tion, admin­is­tra­tion, and stu­dent life.
• To exem­plify an inter­na­tional com­mu­nity of ded­i­cated intel­lec­tu­als, schol­ars, pro­fes­sion­als, offi­cers and work­ers who are moti­vated by the Islamic world-​view and code of ethics as an inte­gral part of their work culture.
• To enhance inter­cul­tural under­stand­ing and fos­ter civ­i­liza­tion dia­logues in Malaysia as well as across com­mu­ni­ties and nations.
• To develop an envi­ron­ment which instills com­mit­ment for life-​long learn­ing, and a deep sense of social respon­si­bil­ity amongst staff and students

The sum­mary of the Mis­sion should read as follows:

• Integration
• Islamization
• Inter­na­tion­al­iza­tion, and
• Com­pre­hen­sive Excellence
