history of ISTAC unfolds as a deliberate and reflective endeavour to restore the rightful place of knowledge within the Islamic intellectual tradition, inspired by the intellectual vision of Royal Laureate Professor Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas.\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"istac-history-block\">\n<div class=\"istac-history-year\">29 September 1987<\/div>\n<div class=\"istac-history-text\">\nThe Majlis approved the establishment of ISTAC as a centre dedicated to rearticulating the primacy of Islam across all fields of knowledge. Conceived under the leadership and vision of Royal Laureate Professor Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, the Institute was not merely intended as another academic entity, but as a space where knowledge would be re-grounded in its proper metaphysical and ethical foundations.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"istac-history-block\">\n<div class=\"istac-history-year\">1989<\/div>\n<div class=\"istac-history-text\">\nISTAC was administered as an autonomous entity under its own Rules and Regulations, shaping a distinct scholarly identity rooted in the integration of knowledge and adab.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"istac-history-block\">\n<div class=\"istac-history-year\">16 August 2002<\/div>\n<div class=\"istac-history-text\">\nThe Majlis integrated ISTAC as a kulliyyah within IIUM, situating it within the broader university structure while preserving its specialised role in postgraduate education.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"istac-history-block\">\n<div class=\"istac-history-year\">25 February 2015<\/div>\n<div class=\"istac-history-text\">\nISTAC's academic programmes were transferred to KIRKHS, involving the careful relocation of academic resources, staff, and institutional memory to ensure continuity.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"istac-history-block\">\n<div class=\"istac-history-year\">26 October 2017<\/div>\n<div class=\"istac-history-text\">\nThe Institute was rearticulated as the International Institute of Islamic Civilisation and the Malay World, reflecting an expanded engagement with regional intellectual and cultural heritage.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"istac-history-block\">\n<div class=\"istac-history-year\">17 May 2019<\/div>\n<div class=\"istac-history-text\">\nThe Board of Governors restored the Institute's original name, reaffirming its foundational orientation towards Islamic thought and civilisation as a living and enduring tradition.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9246a2e

It represents the perpetual movement from darkness into light, from stagnation into purpose, and from the narrowness of the ego into the vastness of Divine devotion. In an era defined by an increasingly complex, fragmented, and rapidly changing global reality, the lessons of the <em>Hijrah<\/em> speak directly to our contemporary predicament.<\/p><p>As we cross this threshold into <strong>1448H<\/strong>, let us anchor our collective journey on three vital pillars:<\/p><ul><li><strong>The Fortification of Faith (<em>Iman<\/em>)<\/strong><br \/>Our world faces unprecedented intellectual and moral crises. To navigate these turbulent waters, we must consciously strengthen our faith. True intellectual pursuit, as championed by ISTAC, is inseparable from a deeply rooted spiritual certainty.<\/li><li><strong>Spiritual Renewal and Contemplation (<em>Tafakkur<\/em>)<\/strong><br \/>We are called to look outward at the cosmos and inward at our souls. By enhancing our reflection on God&#8217;s magnificent creation, we awaken a higher level of appreciation for His Divine gifts. In every law of nature, every historical cycle, and every nuance of human civilisation, there are signs for those who reflect (<em>Ulu al-Albab<\/em>).<\/li><li><strong>Unity and Brotherhood (<em>Ukhuwwah<\/em>)<\/strong><br \/>The original <em>Hijrah<\/em> succeeded because it bound the hearts of the <em>Muhajirun<\/em> and the <em>Ansar<\/em> in a bond stronger than blood. Today, in the face of global fragmentation, we must renew our commitment to unity, mutual respect, and collaborative development.<\/li><\/ul><p>In the Qur&#8217;an, Allah SWT says:<\/p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Verily, God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.&#8221;<\/em><br \/><strong>\u2014 Surah Ar-Ra&#8217;d (13:11)<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><p>Let this year be a conscious <em>Hijrah<\/em> of both the intellect and the spirit. Let us migrate away from discord toward harmony, away from complacency toward rigorous scholarship, and away from indifference toward a profound, proactive empathy for humanity.<\/p><p>As an institution dedicated to the renewal of Islamic thought and the flourishing of civilisation, ISTAC-IIUM remains committed to being a beacon of light in these challenging times. We invite you to join us in this ongoing quest for knowledge that elevates the soul and contributes to building a more just and compassionate world.<\/p><p>May Almighty Allah bless this year with peace, illuminate our minds with wisdom, heal our fractured world, and accept our humble efforts in His service.<\/p><p><em>Selamat Menyambut Awal Muharram (Ma&#8217;al Hijrah) 1448H.<\/em><\/p><p><em>Wa al-Salam &#8216;Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.<\/em><\/p><p><strong>PROFESSOR DR HAZIZAN MD.
