Prof. Dr. Hazizan B. Md. Noon serves as the Dean of ISTAC-IIUM, embodying a rare synthesis of intellectual rigor and civilisational vision. A scholar of sociology deeply rooted in the study of development, religion, and the Islamisation of knowledge, his work reflects a lifelong engagement with the question of how societies evolve in harmony with moral and metaphysical truths.

Across decades of teaching, he has guided students through courses such as Islamic Perspective of Sociology and Anthropology and Contemporary Muslim Society, where the boundaries between revelation and reason, tradition and modernity, are thoughtfully traversed . His classroom is not merely a space of instruction, but one of intellectual awakening.

As a supervisor, Prof. Hazizan has mentored generations of scholars, nurturing inquiries into identity, civilisation, and the enduring relevance of Islamic thought. His writings—spanning books, journal articles, and reflective essays—interrogate the moral fabric of modern societies while offering pathways toward renewal.

Honoured with accolades such as the TAKRIM Award, his career stands as a testament to scholarship that is not only analytical, but also contemplative—where knowledge is pursued not as an end, but as a trust.
