About the university

The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) was established as a major initiative of Muslim scholars in Malaysia, with the aim of establishing an Islamic educational institution that will lead the Islamic nation in various fields of knowledge.

The university was officially established on May 20, 1983 by decision of the Government of Malaysia. The philosophy of the International Islamic University is based on the outcomes of the 1977 First World Conference on Islamic Education in Mecca.

 

The university’s motto is “Garden of Virtue and Knowledge,” and this is due to the university’s use of Arabic and English as educational media. It enhances its global path, so that the university integrates Islamic values from humanitarian, scientific and technical curricula.
