A Seven-Day Intensive In-House Program on the Worldview of Islam
Began as WISE Summer School in 2014 in collaboration with RZS-CASIS, UTM Kuala Lumpur. Last offered in 2019 before the pandemic.
The WISE Summer School programme is an initiative to carry fourth the mission to rearticulate and reinstitute the philosophical framework of the mind that is based on the worldview of Islam for men and women of intelligence, integrity and responsibility.
From the feedbacks and responses by the participants of WISE, we realised that there are groups of interested people who could not participate in WISE for two main reasons:
-
Do not have the proficiency in Malay language
-
Do not have the availability to commit themselves every weekend
Potential participants who fall into these two categories include:
-
International students studying in Malaysia
-
Malaysians studying or living abroad
-
Malaysians who reside a distance away from the Klang Valley
-
General international participants
Thus is 2014, CASIS in partnership with HAKIM and PEACEMEAL organised the very first WISE Summer School on the 22nd to 28th of June last year. The programme attracted a total of 58 participants from local and abroad, including Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Republic of Ireland, and the United States of America.
WISE Summer School is a high-impact intensive project that strives to formulate the true meaning of the self, as understood by Muslim scholars, and in so-doing, strengthening the role of each individual and overcoming generation gaps in implementing a knowledge culture. A project such as this requires multi-level supports, including moral and financial support.
As a general statement:
-
The true meaning of self is built upon a secure knowledge foundation
-
The knowledge culture and its comprehensive elucidation must be disseminated widely
-
The synergistic contributions of individuals across multi-generations serve to strengthen the unity of people based on their mutual understanding and concern in regard to knowledge
Such situations as outlined above can be achieved by:
-
Developing the meaning of self on the foundation of knowledge according to Islamic tradition
-
Organizing various lecture series that provide an understanding about the knowledge culture along with strategies for strengthening it for continuous implementation
-
Enlarging the roles and contributions of multi-generational people through the inculcation of the knowledge-culture as a stepping-stone towards the unification of the Muslim people.
The need for strengthening the Muslim collective understanding about the meaning of self becomes ever more crucial today due to the nature of the challenges that face contemporary societies. The understanding of the true self can be acquired by enlivening the knowledge-culture via educational programs such as the Worldview of Islam Summer School.
The Wise Summer School Project encompasses lectures, tutorials and site visits that will strengthen the understanding of the Worldview of Islam:
Lectures and tutorials that will strengthen the understanding of the worldview of Islam will be held in order to spark the initial realisation about the crucial importance of developing the meaning of self based on the worldview of Islam.
The lecture series on the worldview of Islam is part of an on-going intellectual efforts towards strengthening Muslim unity. The purpose of the lectures and seminars is to deepen the understanding of knowledge-culture from amongst lecturers, students, policy-makers and any interested parties within the communities.
