IDEAS & ROLES OF UNIVERSITY

12

University: Definition

The Universal idea of the University is that it is a

community of scholars, free to pursue knowledge without

undue interference from any quarters. (Ekundayo &

Adedokun, 2009)

A University is not an Ivory Tower isolated from the

interests and influence of the society, state and public

agencies...Universities shoild maintain its freedoms in teaching, publishing and

conducting research.

(Mohamed, 2013)

UNIVERSITY

©AKEPT2017


“Secara umumnya, universiti adalah

sebuah institusi akademik, ilmu atau

intelektual. Di universitilah tempat

terhimpunnya segala maklumat,

laporan, buku, dokumen, tenaga

pemikir dan ahli dalam pelbagai

bidang ilmu. Sebagai gedung ilmu,

peranan utamanya adalah menjana

ilmu baharu dan memindah ilmu

tersebut melalui pengajaran dan

aktiviti pemindahan ilmu lain”

(Norzaini Azman dan rakan, Laporan

Penyelidikan AKEPT, 2016)

14

(al-Attas, 1973)

...to produce the complete man, or the

universal man.

“A Muslim scholar is a man who is not a specialist in

any one branch of knowledge but is universal

in his outlook and is authoritative in several

branches of related knowledge.”

©AKEPT2017


The role of University is to educate and humanise individual and

communities towards civilised & virtuous civilization that embrace

courteous, well-mannered and discerning mind.

Role of University


“ The term “Humaniversity” is

intended to purposely refocus on the

raison d’etre of university education

from one that is increasingly

emphasising income, employment

and accumulation of wealth to loftier

ones which envision education as

the accumulation of knowledge and

people as the wealth of the nation as

well as the importance of

safeguarding their well-being.”

(Tan Sri Dzulkifli, 2009)

1) REFLECTIONS ON NATIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION (NPE) AS A HOLISTIC CONCEPT OF EDUCATION CENTERING ON HEART (QALB)

“Education in Malaysia is an on-going effort towards further developing the potential of

individuals in a holistic and integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are

intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced and harmonious, based on

a firm belief in and devotion to God. Such an effort is designed to produce Malaysian

citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess high moral standards, and

who are responsible and capable of achieving high level of personal well-being as well as

being able to contribute to the harmony and betterment of the family, the society and

the nation at large”

(revised, 1996)


Understanding Spirituality & Human

Being

Definition of SPIRITUALITY

Spirituality etymologically refers to anything that associates with spirit or soul and not to physical maters.

Spirituality deals with the inner world of the humans, with our spiritual, mystical, and psychological dimension.

Spirituality is a path emphasizing self-awareness, human interdependence, creativity, practicality, social justice and

Divine love.

GOD CONSCIOUSNESSIt is rooted in innate

experiential knowledge cultivated through intuition and spiritual reflection. This

state of consciousness acknowledges

God’s Presence through the practice of remembrance in

the Heart, that will transcend to closeness and recognition

of His Lordship.

SUBMISSIVE HEARTIt is the Heart that is sound, tranquil and at peace in the remembrance of God. It is

free from any carnal desires that hinder one from realising

the state of God-consciousness.

JUSTICEJustice denotes the placing of

things in their “rightful” place. Outwardly, it is

concerned with relationships between one and the others in

ensuring just and fair treatment. Intrinsically, it

relates to oneself and to God. It is about giving what is due,

to whom it is due, and the way it is due. It is foremost about

managing one’s own self, before applying it to fellow humans, the society, and to

God. It is about actualising the state of (Perfect) Balance.

COURAGEThe harmonious state of (Perfect) Balance by managing (disciplining) emotions, especially rage and anger, display of ego, desires and domination so that Wisdom and Justice can be served as prescribed.

WISDOMA quality of knowing as well as reflecting deeply before aptly

translating into action in accordance to primal instinct that distinguishes true from

false in making conscious decisions and choices. It

reflects that experiential state of God-consciousness to arrive

at a (Perfect) Balance.TEMPERANCE

It infers to the natural inclination to do what is

“right” – in the right measure, the right way, at the right time, for the right reason, and in the right situation. It is indicative

of the level of discipline placed on the appetitive faculty by the intellect as prescribed in

the Law.
