Director's Message

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
Welcome to the IIUM Leadership Centre. It is a huge Amanah entrusted to lead this initiative as we continue to build upon IIUM’s rich legacy of cultivating leaders who inspire, serve, and bring meaningful change to their communities.

At our Centre, we are deeply committed to the Vision and Mission of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). Guided by the principle of Tawhidic Epistemology, we strive to integrate faith and knowledge in our leadership programmes and activities, producing leaders who embody the University’s aim of achieving comprehensive and balanced person. This reflects IIUM’s mission to nurture professionals who are equipped to address global challenges while advancing the values of Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin.

Aligned with the aspirations of the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, our leadership programmes focus on fostering a society grounded in trust, compassion, respect, and shared prosperity in realising the concept of Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness (DEI). We believe that leadership is a collective responsibility, rooted in service, humility, and the pursuit of excellence.

Through innovative programmes, impactful research, profound publications and meaningful collaborations, the IIUM Leadership Centre aspires to nurture leaders who embody integrity, Cultural Intelligence (CQ), and Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) and/ or spiritual wisdom. These are leaders who will not only meet the needs of today but also shape a sustainable and harmonious future for the Ummah and the world.

We invite you to join us in this transformative journey, embracing the values of IIUM, as we work together to humanise leadership and bring to life the mission of serving humanity for a better tomorrow.
