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
VISION

of the unity of knowledge as well as its concept of holistic

PROMOTION OF THE CENTRE
The Centre for Foundation Studies has been in existence for
about twenty-three years. Since then, it has undergone a lot of
developments in order to transform IIUM into a garden of knowledge.
Its infrastructure has been upgraded without neglecting the
advancement of academic competitiveness in the ever-challenging
IT-dominated educational sector.
With approximately 6000 students every semester, the Centre for
Foundation Studies is becoming a highly sought after place
especially for SPM holders seeking to pursue their studies at
institutions of higher learning. The number of applicants is
expected to increase every year. Given this scenario, promotion
plays a significant role in recruiting the cream of the crop from
among the best candidates at every enrolment and introducing IIUM
as a centre of excellence in the field of education.
So far, IIUM has adopted several methods in promoting the Centre
such as distributing pamphlets, handing out information to the
public, briefings and conducting exhibitions with central agencies
such as the Ministry of Higher Education.

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

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

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.
