Sejahtera Academic Framework (SAF)

134 133 SECTION 5 WHOLE INSTITUTION TRANSFORMATION INTRODUCTION Since 2019, IIUM has embarked on a Whole Institution Transformation (WIT) in order to consolidate its vision of becoming a leading international centre of educational excellence. This is reflected in the IIUM Roadmap 2019-2020 (OSIC, 2019), with its strategic direction of ‘Humanising Education through Maqā ṣ id Ash-Sharī ʿ ah and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)’. The Roadmap seeks to reinvigorate the operationalisation of the University’s seven (7) mission in the context of present and future scenarios, while standing firm on the foundations of the University. The philosophy of IIUM is framed on two main tenets; that human is the servant of Allah and that man is the vicegerent ( khalīfah ) of Allah on earth (M. Kamal Hassan, 1983). This is refined to mean the philosophy of IIUM emphasises the objectives of human existence, namely to serve Allah swt ( ubudiah ) and to develop the world as His vicegerents in accordance with His will (M. Kamal Hassan, personal communication). In the context of IIUM as a university, this philosophy leverages heavily on the roles of knowledge in achieving the totality of human development, both physical and spiritual, consistent with Allah’s creation of body and soul ( jasad and rūḥ ). Thus, knowledge imparted at IIUM must also be total, complete and inclusive of intellectual, spiritual and moral dimensions. Education at IIUM must be ladened with values in line with the Maqā ṣ id Ash-Sharī ʿ ah and operationalised through SDGs.
