[[File:International Islamic University Malaysia temporary logo 1983.svg|thumb|left|The first logo used by IIUM (back when it was known only as IIU), before the introduction of the current logo.]]
IIUM was officially established on 23 May 1983, by virtue of Section 5A (2) of the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971, when the University received its Establishment Order from His Majesty the [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong|King]], [[Ahmad Shah of Pahang|Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang]], who was then appointed as its first Constitutional Head on 1 July 1983, after an exchange of Diplomatic Notes of co-sponsorship between the Government of Malaysia and a number of Muslim Governments and the OIC.<ref name=his-uiam />


[[Ismail al-Faruqi]], a prominent scholar, played a significant role in this movement. He advised political leaders in the Muslim world, including [[Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq]] in Pakistan and Mahathir Mohamad. During Zia-ul-Haq’s administration, al-Faruqi contributed to the establishment of the [[International Islamic University]] in Islamabad in 1980, which aimed to integrate Islamic values with contemporary academic disciplines. In Malaysia, al-Faruqi's advisory role was instrumental in the foundation of the university in 1983. These institutions were part of broader efforts to develop educational systems that combined religious and secular knowledge, fostering intellectual and cultural development in the Muslim world.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | last=Yusuf | first=Imtiyaz | title=Ismail Al Faruqi | encyclopedia=Encyclopaedia of Islam | editor1-last=Fleet | editor1-first=Kate | editor2-last=Krämer | editor2-first=Gudrun | editor3-last=Matringe | editor3-first=Denis | editor4-last=Nawas | editor4-first=John | editor5-last=Rowson | editor5-first=Everett | volume=3 | publisher=Koninklijke Brill NV | year=2022}}</ref>
The university's language of instruction was to be English and Arabic, and many of its students were to come from overseas. As [[Law of Malaysia|Malaysian law]] did not allow for this, IIUM was incorporated under the Companies Act of 1965. Thus it became the first international university and the first university in Malaysia to use English as the medium of instruction and administration.


The university would be the first Islamic university in the world to conceptualize the "integration of knowledge with morals," a concept adopted at the International Convention of Islamic Education in [[Mecca]], Saudi Arabia in 1976.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19830102-1.2.15.5|title=Islamic university is first to practise new concept|publisher=[[The Straits Times]]|date=2 January 1983|accessdate=5 March 2019|page=6}}</ref>
The university operates under the supervision of the Board of Governors, which is composed of representatives of the OIC as well as the eight sponsoring governments, namely; Malaysia, [[Bangladesh]], [[Egypt]], [[Libya]], [[Maldives]], [[Pakistan]], [[Saudi Arabia]] and [[Turkey]].<ref name=his-uiam /> The Constitutional Head, President and Rector of this university are all Malaysians.


IIUM was once a private university. As the university's language of instruction was not to be Malay but instead English and Arabic, which was initially prohibited by Malaysian law, IIUM was initially incorporated under the currently repealed [[Companies Act 1965]]. However, IIUM was officially made a public university on 23 May 1983, by Section 5A (2) of the [[Universities and University Colleges Act 1971]], when the university received its establishment order from the then [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong|King]], [[Ahmad Shah of Pahang]], after an exchange of diplomatic notes of co-sponsorship between the government of Malaysia, seven other governments and OIC.<ref name=his-uiam />
A batch of 153 students from Malaysia and abroad were enrolled for the first academic session, which started on 8 July 1983. Courses were conducted under the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Laws, the Center for Fundamental Knowledge (CFK) and the Center for Languages (CFL). The members of this first batch received their degrees and diplomas during the First Convocation held on 10 October 1987. 68 graduates were conferred Bachelor of Economics (B.Econ/BECS) degrees, 56 Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degrees, and 29 Qadhis were conferred Diploma in Law and Administration of Islamic Judiciary.

[[Ahmad Shah of Pahang]] was the founding constitutional head since 1 July 1983. Before his death, he was replaced by his daughter-in-law, the current Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, [[Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah]]. She was made the constitutional head on 12 April 2019 for a five-year term, ending her father-in-law's chancellery in IIUM for 36 years, but the instrument of appointment was only presented to her by the federal government on 17 June 2019.<ref name=":0" />

As a public university, IIUM is ruled ceremonially by the Constitutional Head who presides over convocations and serves as the point of reference for all constitutional issues. Equivalent to the Chancellor in other public universities, he is appointed by the [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong|King]] on the recommendation of the [[Government of Malaysia|Federal Government]] for a term of 7-years. [[Ahmad Shah of Pahang|Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang]] is the current and founding Constitutional Head, a position that he has held for 5 terms.

The Hospital will also follow the quality hospital management process as stipulated by the Ministry of Health (MOH). Its services will be available to all patients irrespective of race or religion. Shari’ah compliance is nothing new. As noted by Kasule (2011), seven criteria for Hospital shari’ah compliance includes:

7. Services and procedures that do not contradict to the principles of shari’ah


File:Hassan Saeed special advisor (cropped).jpg|[[Hassan Saeed]], [[Attorney General (Maldives)|Attorney General of the Republic of Maldives]]
According to Kamaruzzaman (2013) the broad guidelines for shari’ah compliance hospital will include the following:


1. Quality hospital management process

2. Financial management with shari’ah principles

3. Adequate facilities for a quality patient care

4. Adequate facilities and policies for patients and staffs to perform ibadah (compulsory Islamic ritual) and other religious obligations including dress code covering the awrah.

5. All products (foods and medicines) and procedures used are halal

6. All procedures especially nursing procedures (SOP) must incorporate shari’ah needs

7. Having guidelines to handle Muslim and other patients

8. Having trained staffs to advise Muslim patients regarding ibadah and ruksah

9. Having a panel of expert to advice the hospital management on shari’ah compliance

10. Having a regular assessment including clients’ feedback to ensure shari’ah compliance.

The implementation of the ideal concept of a shari’ah compliance hospital will be a challenging task to the IIUM fraternity. Fortunately the university has the support of medical specialists, surgeons, pharmacists, nurses, allied health professionals, experts in fiqh and usul fiqh, experts in muamalat, quality management personnel and lawyers to make this a reality. The University is in the process of establishing a task force to integrate the requirement of Hospital Shari’ah compliance in the standard operating procedures of the IIUM hospital. Our aim is to have a hospital with a soul that willhave a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, teaching and research. This new concept is the way forward and the faculty members, administrators and support staffs of the IIUM are ready for the challenge.

international Islamic University Malaysia

The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)[a] is a public university in Malaysia. Headquartered in Gombak, Selangor, IIUM has six other campuses all over Malaysia: two medical-centric campuses and a Centre for Foundation Studies in Gambang, Pahang, two city campuses in Kuala Lumpur, and a language and tourism campus in Pagoh, Johor.

The university is sponsored by eight governments and the Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC). It is distinct from the International Islamic University, Indonesia and International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh.

The university was established on 23 May 1983 and founded upon Islamic principles.[1] Islamic values are inculcated into all disciplines. IIUM offers bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees courses at its 14 faculties or "Kulliyyah" ("Kulliyyat", in plural).

Since 1987, IIUM has produced more than 70,000 graduates and undergraduates from more than 100 countries around the world. Most of them were from Malaysia.[6]

History

[edit]

Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad[7][8] conceived the idea for an international institution of Islamic education in 1982 during a meeting between OIC leaders about the Islamization of knowledge. The idea was shared with the then-minister of education, Sulaiman Daud; the then-director-general of education, Murad Mohamed Nor; and two others. Mohamed Kamal Hassan, then of the National University of Malaysia, along with a senior academic official who attended the meeting, produced the first working paper on the concept of the university.[7]

The first logo used by IIUM (back when it was known only as IIU), before the introduction of the current logo.

Ismail al-Faruqi, a prominent scholar, played a significant role in this movement. He advised political leaders in the Muslim world, including Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in Pakistan and Mahathir Mohamad. During Zia-ul-Haq’s administration, al-Faruqi contributed to the establishment of the International Islamic University in Islamabad in 1980, which aimed to integrate Islamic values with contemporary academic disciplines. In Malaysia, al-Faruqi's advisory role was instrumental in the foundation of the university in 1983. These institutions were part of broader efforts to develop educational systems that combined religious and secular knowledge, fostering intellectual and cultural development in the Muslim world.[9]

The university would be the first Islamic university in the world to conceptualize the "integration of knowledge with morals," a concept adopted at the International Convention of Islamic Education in Mecca, Saudi Arabia in 1976.[10]

IIUM was once a private university. As the university's language of instruction was not to be Malay but instead English and Arabic, which was initially prohibited by Malaysian law, IIUM was initially incorporated under the currently repealed Companies Act 1965. However, IIUM was officially made a public university on 23 May 1983, by Section 5A (2) of the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971, when the university received its establishment order from the then King, Ahmad Shah of Pahang, after an exchange of diplomatic notes of co-sponsorship between the government of Malaysia, seven other governments and OIC.[7]

A batch of 153 students from Malaysia and abroad were enrolled for the first academic session, which started on 8 July 1983. Courses were conducted under the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Laws, the Centre for Fundamental Knowledge, and the Centre for Languages. The members of this first batch received their degrees and diplomas during the first convocation held on 10 October 1987. 68 graduates were conferred the degree of Bachelor of Economics, 56 other graduates received the degree of Bachelor of Laws, and 29 Qadhis were conferred Diploma in Law and Administration of Islamic Judiciary.

Governance

[edit]

Ahmad Shah of Pahang was the founding constitutional head since 1 July 1983. Before his death, he was replaced by his daughter-in-law, the current Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah. She was made the constitutional head on 12 April 2019 for a five-year term, ending her father-in-law's chancellery in IIUM for 36 years, but the instrument of appointment was only presented to her by the federal government on 17 June 2019.[11]

Mohd. Daud Bakar, an Islamic finance expert in Malaysia, sits as the eighth and current president since 1 July 2019.[12]
