Integration of Knowledge: An Overview of the Participation at the Faculty of Quranic and Sunnah Studies, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia

Abstract

The goal of this research is to show how the many methodologies, approaches, notions, and contributions under the Faculty of Quranic and Sunnah Studies (FPQS), Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) have enormous potential for students, teachers, educators, academicians, and scholars in Islamic studies to illuminate the integration of knowledge. This article outlines FPQS’s academic endeavours and focuses on interests that signify the framework for Muslims’ understanding of epistemology. Rather than being merely of historical interest, the article argues that FPQS’s coordination is a valuable starting point for developing a contemporary discourse on al-Quran and sunah studies in Malaysia and the Muslim world. The present paper takes it a step further, proposing that integration of knowledge in an academic ambiance can be achieved through the collective enterprise of the epistemology of scholastic traditions of Islam, university and national policies, as well as the aspirations and practices of faculties.
