Journey to Islamicisation of Human Knowledge: A Festschrift in Honour of Mohd. Kamal Hassan
International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is pleased to bring out Journey to Islamicisation of Human Knowledge: A Festschrift in Honour of Mohd. Kamal Hassan. The publication of this festschrift – first of its kind by IIUM Press – marks a tribute to the late Emeritus Professor Tan Sri Dr Mohd. Kamal Hassan (1942-2023) and a recognition of his many contributions to the university. He served IIUM and its community – both formally and informally – in various capacities including being its third Rector. His attachment to IIUM spanned a long period from its inception in 1983 to the end of his active life. I hope this festschrift will help readers appreciate Kamal Hassan’s contributions and will encourage more scholarly work on his legacy. It will increase their interest in his ideas as well as in the mission and philosophy of IIUM. I congratulate the editors of and the contributors to this book for their inspired efforts to prepare its content, and IIUM Press for publishing this significant work.

Fifty Years As A Journalist
‘Fifty Years as a Journalist’ is the autobiography of Lala Mulk Raj Saraf, widely known as the “Father of Journalism in Jammu and Kashmir”. This book offers a glimpse into the remarkable life of a man who defied the odds and dared to challenge the status quo.

It serves as an authentic history of the political, social and journalistic life in Jammu and Kashmir State during the crucial years from 1916-1966. This book is an inspiration for all those who believe in the transformative power of journalism.
Emancipated Education
The obsession with world rankings and vocational training has turned universities into factories for the production of students and publications. Teaching plays second fiddle to research output, normally circulated within a small circle of ‘experts’ to be validated or condemned to the abyss, leading to the justifiable charge that universities are ivory towers. In Emancipated Education Dr Azhar Ibrahim’s call to reclaim the space of what he calls the educative front, as a site for emancipation, is timely and urgent. Channelling the thoughts of giants like Paulo Freire and N.F.S. Grundtvig, the book articulates the higher purpose of higher education. It serves to re-humanise the human pr...
