Integrating Al-Turath al-Islami to Modern University Curriculum: Issues and the Need for a Benchmark

The Quran and Sunnah, namely al-turath, connect the Muslim Ummah to their origin and past. It itself is the foundation of the Ummah’s existence, and a reason for their development and prosperity. Due to the missing contemporary Ijtihad, and the confinement of our Fiqh to legal matters alone, the al-turath or the legacy needs to be brought back to the university curriculum and its needs to be measured by a benchmark. This integration will contribute to develop a holistic worldview based on Tawhidic paradigm.
