Malappuram (Kerala): A
Malaysian team will arrive next month to study mosque structures
in Kerala as a collaborative venture between the International
Islamic University, Malaysia (IIUM) and Madin Islamic Academy
(MIA) here.
In what is believed to be its first such accord with an Indian
institution, the IIUM has entered into an agreement for academic
cooperation with the MIA.
A team from IIUM is expected to arrive in the state next month to
commence the groundwork of a research study on mosque structures
in Kerala.
The MIA in press release here Monday said the agreement was inked
between IIUM Rector Syed Arabi Idid and Madin chairman Sayyid
Ibrahimul Khaleelul Bukhari in Malaysia.
"We are very happy to sign this agreement with an institution from
India, which is the second largest Muslim populated country in the
world, and hopeful of getting more students and exchange
potentials," said Idid.
The IIUM is a joint venture of the Malaysian government and
Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), which is the umbrella
body of 57 Muslim countries.
Established in 1983 with 153 students, IIUM has become a premier
Islamic university with 30,000 students. It offers bachelor's,
master's and Phd courses.
The agreement is for exchanging students and teachers,
facilitating research and publication in various fields,
conducting international seminars and workshops and credit
transfer between faculties.
This will also enable students from India to pursue their higher
studies in 50 faculties and 150 academic programmes of the IIUM.
Madin Academy, Malappuram, established in 1997, is one of the
growing educational institutions from Kerala with 10,500 students
and 25 educational and charity ventures.
Bukhari said this was a new feather in the cap of the developing
educational culture of India. "It is not only an agreement between
two institutions, but a treaty to exchange knowledge and virtue
imparted by more than 50 OIC countries," said Bukhari.
