THE INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA
PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of the University is based on the belief that knowledge must be pursued as an ’ibādah
(continuous worship) and amānah (a trust) which Allah (SWT) has placed upon humankind. The knowledge
pursued should lead to the recognition that Allah (SWT) is the Absolute Creator, Cherisher and Sustainer of the
universe. This total and uncompromising recognition of Allah (SWT) “as Rabb al-ālamīn (the Lord of the
World) represents the apex in the hierarchy of knowledge”. This philosophy is predicated in the first five verses
of Sūrah al’’Alaq, which are incorporated in the Constitution of the IIUM.
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 Allah’s 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;
VISION
To become a leading international centre of educational excellence which seeks to restore the dynamic and
progressive role of the Muslim ummah in all branches of knowledge
Thereby, contributing to the improvement and upgrading of the quality of human life and civilisation.

STAFF MEMBERS:
INTRODUCTION
The Tahfiz Al-Qur’an Certificate Programme has jointly been conducted by JAKIM and the International
Islamic University Malaysia since 2000. The sessions are conducted at Darul Qur’an (previously known as
Institut Pengajian Tahfiz Al-Qur’an, JAKIM) in Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor, and later followed by a
foundation programme at the IIUM Centre for Foundation Studies.
The first intake in 2000 consisted of seven students from the IIUM Centre for Foundation Studies. In 2001,
the intake increased to fourteen students from various religious schools in Klang Valley. The intake in 2017
further rose to 143 and this trend is expected to continue in the coming years.
Since the programme was introduced, the number of tahfiz students has increased to over 1600 students. This
number indicates the overwhelming support from the public. The University has been sending CELPAD
lecturers to Darul Qur’an to teach English and Arabic language courses.
Currently, there are around 120 students enrolled in the Foundation programme at the Centre for Foundation
Studies. In order to maintain their memorisation, the Tahfiz Unit under the office of Deputy Dean, Academic
and Industrial Linkages has introduced and organised a “Tarsikh Programme” which is conducted for four
hours per week.
OBJECTIVES
1. To contribute to the integration of knowledge with other disciplines. This is a necessary step towards
producing professionals and intellectuals with high moral standards in line with the needs of the
Ummah and nation.
2. To provide a platform for nurturing intellectuals who are capable of capturing the glorious treasures of
Islamic intellectual heritage.
PHILOSOPHY
Based on the Quranic principle of Tawhid, the education process is aimed at molding the younger generation
to become pious and God-fearing individuals, who are fully aware of their duties and responsibilities towards
19
the Creator.
The selection committee consists of members from both Darul Qur’an, JAKIM and the International Islamic
University. The selection process gives priority to students with good academic standing from the science
stream. Particular attention is paid to those from religious and Arabic schools with outstanding performance
in the SPM examinations. Students will be assessed according to their abilities in the following areas:
Successful applicants are offered admission to the programme which usually commences in June every year.
The programme shall continue until the month of June in the following year. Upon completion of the twelve-
month programme, students who satisfy all the requirements will be given the opportunity to further their
studies at the IIUM Centre for Foundation Studies.
The programme is designed to produce graduates with high moral values who will be role models in
society.
Students who successfully memorise the Qur’an will enhance their intellectual capacity with the
knowledge and guidance from the Al-Qur’an.
The Tahfiz Al-Qur’an certificate programme will enable graduates from various science disciplines to
enhance their sense of professionalism while serving the community.
Students at Darul Qur’an and IIUM will also benefit through the programme of Halaqah in which they
assume the roles of Naqib/Naqibah, and Mushrif/Mushrifah. This is a compulsory co-curricular
activity for all students at the Centre.
Students who have memorised the Al-Qur’an will also be able to assist others who may need help in
learning Tilawah Al-Qur’an, and also to guide those who may wish to memorise Al-Qur’an.
Qualified candidates who meet the University’s requirements for admission into foundation studies may be
offered the opportunity to join any of the following programmes at the IIUM Centre for Foundation Studies.
Since Semester I, 1990/91, the full Credit-Hour System has been instituted. The system
requires students to play a more active role in deciding how they should go about completing
the required courses for a particular programme with the guidance of an academic advisor.
The objectives of the system include paying greater attention to individual needs, avenues,
and an appropriate atmosphere in the learning process. The system also provides realistic and
practical educational training, which recognises the realities and caters to the demands of the
Muslim community and the professional world.
The Foundation Programme normally can be completed in a period of one year (three
semesters). The curriculum is designed to enable intellectual and academic upgrades of
candidates before they gain entry into any of the degree programmes of the University. The
Foundation Programme is supportive of the first year courses of the degree programmes.
The curriculum, therefore, has relevance to these courses, with contents to be determined by
the respective Kulliyyahs.
The curriculum in the Foundation Programme has the following categories of courses:
The English and Arabic Language courses of the Foundation Programme are
designed to equip students with the necessary skills to enable them to embark
confidently on the University’s degree programmes that require the use of both
English and Arabic languages. To gain entry to the Kulliyyah, students must achieve
a specific language requirement of the respective Kulliyyah.
21
The Computer course(s) prepares students with the basic skills to undertake studies at
the tertiary level using the latest IT technology.
These shall be determined and offered by the respective academic department and are
designed to provide students with the necessary academic basis for admission into a
specific academic programme at degree level at the University. To gain entry to the
Kulliyyah, students must achieve a specific CGPA entry requirement.
A student must complete the registration in the first week of each semester in accordance with
the instructions issued by the respective Deputy Dean. Thereafter, he/she is allowed to attend
classes or use the facilities at the Centre.
Late registration will be imposed after Week 2 of a regular semester and Week 1 of the short
semester. A student who is unable to provide a valid reason for late registration will be
penalised and need to pay a compound of RM 20.00 and an additional RM5.00 for each
subsequent day (a maximum RM50.00).
The period for schedule adjustment, more commonly known as the add/drop exercise,
commences on the first day of the semester and lasts for three (3) days.
During the add /drop period, students may do the following:
a) Add course(s)
b) Drop course(s) - no record of the dropped courses will appear on student’s
official transcript
c) Register for course(s) on audit status
Any changes made during this period require the recommendation of the Academic Advisor
and/or the Head of Department. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that such changes
are completed before the add/drop period ends.
Auditing a course requires the permission of the Head of the Department and approval of the
respective Deputy Deans of Arts / Sciences Programmes. An audit student receives no credit
for the course. He or she is not required to sit for the end-of-semester examination but must
satisfy the attendance requirement; otherwise an “F” grade will be recorded and computed in
the CGPA. An audit course will be recorded on the student’s transcript with the course grade
“AU” but does not affect the student’s grade point average.
22
2.8 Withdrawal from Courses
A student may withdraw from courses provided that his/her remaining workload does not fall
below 12 credit hours or 25 contact hours if he/she is taking a required language course.
The student is required to get the approval to withdraw from courses by applying to the
respective Deputy Dean at any time before the announced due date of withdrawal. Students
will be charged RM300.00 per course. Withdrawal from a course is indicated on the
transcript by grade “W”.
Students are not allowed to withdraw from a required language course. No withdrawal of
courses is allowed for courses taken in the short semester.
For regular semesters, the maximum academic load of a student shall be twenty six (26)
credits provided the total number of contact hours does not exceed thirty six (36)
For short semester, a student may register a maximum of twelve (12) credits except for
graduating students.
2.10 Exemption
Subject to specific approval from the Deputy Dean of Academic and Industrial Linkages, a
student may be exempted from a language proficiency course or courses after passing the
exemption test conducted by the Centre. Students may graduate with credit hours, which
exclude the credits for the exempted course(s).
Upon entering a Foundation Programme, throughout each semester, students are expected to
be continuously enrolled and actively fulfilling the requirements of the programme
curriculum. Should a student discontinue the enrolment for one or more semesters without
any formal leave of absence, he/she must apply for acceptance for re-admission at the Centre
before he/she can be allowed to proceed with his/her studies. (This is not applicable to the
short semester.)
Students who have completed all the Foundation Programme requirements are not allowed to
register for optional courses in the final semester to improve their CGPA. (This is also
applicable to the short semester.)
However, the rule is not applicable to Law students who opt to take higher levels of Arabic
Language with the intention of specialising in LLB (Shariah). Once a student opts for an
optional course(s), he/she must complete the course(s) with a minimum of C grade.
Failing an optional course(s) will require the student to repeat/resit and pass the course(s).
Each student will receive advice from an academic advisor from within the department who
will provide him/her with timely information about programme requirements and Centre
policies and procedures. An advisor will assist a student in selecting courses each semester in
accordance with the student’s ability and academic progress. A student should maintain close
23
contact with his/her academic advisor throughout the semester.
a) the authority of the Dean/Deputy Dean of the Centre for Foundation Studies

Department in cases of unsatisfactory attendance.
ii) When a student has been absent for at least 20% of the total lectures,
he/she should be informed that he/she will be barred from the
forthcoming end-of-semester examination of the course.
A copy of this letter shall be sent to the Dean of the Centre for
Foundation Studies, the respective Deputy Deans, Deputy Dean of
Residential Management and Discipline, the Head of Department, the
Counselor and the student’s parents. If the student wishes to submit
an appeal, he/she can write to the Dean of the Centre for Foundation
Studies explaining his/her reasons for the absence.
1) Programme of Studies
Every student admitted to the Centre must follow a specific programme of studies
24
offered by his/her respective department.
The minimum number of semesters for any student to complete a foundation programme at
the Centre is three (3) semesters.
The maximum number of semesters for any student to complete a foundation programme at
the Centre is six (6) semesters, excluding leave of absence.
A student who has registered all the courses as prescribed in the programme, is
considered as a candidate for graduation and shall register for graduation at the
Centre in the final semester.
(1) Every foundation programme is directly under the responsibility of the Centre
and the completion of each programme rests on the evaluation and
recommendation of the Centre to the Senate.
25

Centre and submit it to the office of the Deputy Dean of the respective programme stating the
reasons of withdrawal, before the student’s last day of residence on campus.
A student who withdraws without informing the authorities of the Centre for Foundation

4. ACADEMIC QUALITY AND INDUSTRIAL LINKAGES (AQIL)
OVERVIEW
The Office of Academic Quality and Industrial Linkages (AQIL) is under the purview of the Office of Deputy
Dean of Academic & Industrial Linkages (ODDAIL). The office operates similarly like the Office of
Knowledge for Change and Advancement (KCA) but at the Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS) level.
OBJECTIVES
The main function of the Office of AQIL is to improve and maintain the quality of education offered by the
CFS.
‘Quality’ means meeting the requirements of the party that receives the product or service. A good quality of
education at CFS means offering academic programmes in which it best equips students with the knowledge
and skills required to enter their respective kulliyyah.
In doing so, there are two main elements involved in improving and maintaining the quality of education at
the centre:
