ISTAC

Menurut buku panduan yang disusun oleh Profesor Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, "the courses in the specialised programme of studies consisting of the fields of Islamic Thought, Islamic Science, and Islamic Civilisation have already been grouped in such a way as to form a combination of subjects into a fundamental category each representing one of the major fields in the programme which at the same time relates itself coherently with the other major fields in the programme. There are four courses: "The Religion of Islam", "The History and Methodology of Qur'anic Interpretation", "The History and Methodology of Hadith", and "Logic and Methodology", which stand by themselves and are compulsory to all students of the Institute. The course "Religion of Islam", is offered in the third semester of the academic year. It is designed to be an integrating factor in relation to all courses in the specialised programme studies at the Institute".
