Hadiri Seminar

Salam Isnin yang indah.

Hari ini seharian berada di IAIS, Jalan Elmu Petaling Jaya, bersebelahan dengan Uni. Malaya. Megikuti International Conference On Islam and Higher Education bermula hari ini 8 Nov 2010 dan 9 Nov 2010.

Conference ini dianjurkan oleh IAIS International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies, (nak tahu tentang IAIS boleh search yer)....

Kami seramai 4 orang menghadiri Conference ini wakil dari Kolej Dar al-Hikmah. CEO, Ust Mohd NAsir Mohd Tap, Pn Zulaihan dan saya juga.

Ramai umat Islam dari pelbagai negara meghadiri conference ini. Hari ini rasa segar otak dan fikiran sebab dapat berada dalam majlis ilmu ini. Dah lama rasanya tak hadiri seminar macam ni. Saya ni memang suka hadiri seminar macam ni, rasa banyak idea di samping meluaskan jaringan akademik dengan institusi lain. Segar juga hari ini kerana makanan yang disediakan enak2 belaka. hehehe (selingan, jangan marah yer).

Sesi yang kedua agak menarik sebab ada pembentangan dari prof Dato' Dr Sidek Baba. Memang sejak mengikuti kelas beliau semasa Master dulu amat suka mendengar hujah dari tokoh yang banyak pengalaman ni. Beliau ulas tentang pembinaan UIA. Saya juga nampak harapan beliau terhadap pimpinan baru agar tidak memugarkan idea dan falsafah UIA yang didokong sebelum ini. Memang nampak kekurangan UIA kini kerana pimpinan yang terbaru ini kirang mengangkat kembali wajah UIA yang ditanam sebelum ini.

Mengikut pemerhatian dan pembacaan saya, selalunya mana2 organisasi atau institusi yang dibina sistem dan cara kerjanya mesti mengikut pemerintahan atau kepala pemerintah.

Nampaknya sampai di sini sahaja catatan saya...sambil2 menunggu anak2 menghabiskan tugasan mereka update blog sebentar.

Doakan semoga kita berjaya mendirikan pengajian tinggi yang penuh manusia beradab di dalamnya atau good man.

Esok berseminar lagi.

Why a Conference on Islam and Higher Education?



Muslims account for 20% of the world population and yet only about 10% of universities in the world belong to them. There is a real need for more institutions of higher learning in Muslim countries especially of the world-class quality. Although in the post-colonial era more and more national universities have been built in the Islamic world, Muslim needs for modern higher education are still largely met by Western universities and colleges. Apart from having to establish more national universities, there is the need for new initiatives by such international bodies as the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to build more international universities that would cater to the needs of the global Muslim ummah.



Higher education landscapes in the Islamic world are changing, faster in some of its countries than in others. The new educational landscapes are being shaped, colored, and influenced by many factors, especially the political, cultural, technology, economic, and financial factors, both local and global. These offer both opportunities and challenges to the Muslim countries to effectively address their contemporary and future needs in higher education. In tackling the issue of Muslim higher education needs, particularly the needs for world-class universities and other institutions of higher learning, it is important to pay due attention not only to the necessity of wisely used material, financial, and human resources, but also to the desirability of accessing and utilizing Islam’s cultural, intellectual, and traditional knowledge resources.



It is these latter resources alone that can help guarantee a vast qualitative improvement to contemporary Muslim higher education. It is the aim of this conference to address these various issues and to arrive at some of the solutions to the problems and challenges now confronting the global Muslim ummah.



More information about this conference will be added here as it becomes available.
