ASSOC. PROF. DR. KHAIRIL HUSAINI BIN JAMIL
Deputy Dean of Postgraduate, Research & Innovation

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Khairil Husaini bin Jamil is a scholar whose intellectual journey unfolds within the luminous traditions of Qur’anic and hadith sciences, where text, meaning, and being converge. As an associate professor at the International Islamic University Malaysia, his work reflects a sustained engagement with Islamic epistemology, theosophy, and the deeper architecture of revealed knowledge.

Formed in the scholarly circles of the Islamic University of Madinah and later refined at SOAS, University of London, his training bridges classical mastery and critical inquiry. His early immersion in manuscript studies—working with the handwritten legacy of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani—cultivated in him a sensitivity to the textures of tradition, while his later research on al-Khatib al-Baghdadi deepened his exploration of Sunni epistemology .

His scholarship is marked by both preservation and renewal: editing classical texts, advancing methodologies in hadith studies, and proposing integrative frameworks such as the triadic approach of riwāyah, dirāyah, and riʿāyah. Across languages and disciplines, he writes and lectures with an awareness that knowledge is not merely accumulated, but cultivated.

In his work, one finds a quiet but persistent aspiration—to recover the harmony between intellect and revelation, and to rearticulate that harmony for a world in search of meaning.
