GOMBAK, 2 June 2020: The Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences (KIRKHS) held its Virtual Takrim Al- Akadimiyyin using Zoom application on Monday (1 June) to substitute a physical award ceremony that had been delayed since March following the movement control order to curb the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
The ceremony was held at the Senate Hall, Abdul Rauf Building which was accessible to the IIUM community through YouTube live stream. The awards were specified into three categories – General, Academic and Responsible & Research Innovation – with winners divided into gold, silver and bronze ranks.
In his opening speech at the event, Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dato Dzulkifli Abdul Razak, praised the 30 years of the Kulliyyah’s uniqueness and significance compared to other Kulliyyah due to the holistic combinations of the human side with the revealed knowledge aspect. He highlighted the IIUM being the first university in Malaysia to acknowledge such a combination of the two fields to broaden their way of spreading the da’wah towards the ummah both locally and globally.
Former IIUM Rector, Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Syed Arabi Idid who received the Qudwah award (gold listed), expressed his gratitude to the university. In his appreciations speech, the Professor shared his experience on his contributions and challenges he faced when IIUM was under his stewardship for five years that saw significant milestones of the institution’s development to become a research based and a research university.
Overall, there were 14 categories of awards presented to 32 academic staff and 7 administrative workers. Dr. Jamilah Hanum Binti Abdul Khaiyom succeeded to bring home two awards – Product Innovation & Commercialisation Award and Journal Publication Award.
