In the 20th century ago, the world is facing with human tragedies such as wars, calamities and natural disasters. Those tragedies happened because of human being are far away from their true nature of humanity, injustice and lack of governance in managing the world created by Allah the Almighty. Mankind have no longer play their roles as the God’s servants, on the contrary act as the creators and are doing everything according to their own free will. Eventually, this phenomenon has led to prejudice and enmity among themselves and has caused the world civilization today become more mundane and cannibalistic. At the beginning of the 21st century, such phenomenon still persists and seems to be never ending and having no proper solution.
The discussion of ideas concerning intellectual institution or leaders and scholars in the context of empowering Islamic civilization is vital in these days.This is consistent with the saying of the Holy Prophet peace be upon him that means: “there are two groups of human beings when both of them are good, indeed, all mankind will be good, but when both are bad, consequentlythe whole mankind will be desructive. They are namely ulama’ (scholars) and umara’ (leaders) “(HR. Abu Nu’aim). Therefore, the agenda of Islamic solidarity should be achieved in this contemporary society. It should become the starting point of complementary interrelationship and collaborative efforts of these two significant institutions; ulama’ and umara’.
In this regard, the Research Institute for Islamic Products and Malay Civilization (INSPIRE) in collaboration with Research Management, Innovation & Commercialization Centre (RMIC) are planning to carry out this international conference.
