About Ibn Rushd Centre of Excellence for Islamic Research

The Ibn Rushd Centre of Excellence for Islamic Research is a specialised multi-disciplinary centre of excellence, established to deliver world-class, cutting-edge research in the various disciplines of Islamic Studies. The establishment of the Ibn Rushd Centre of Excellence for Islamic Research was primarily based on meeting an important and urgent need. Research holds a very important place in Western academia. It is the backbone of the function and purpose of university work and it is the sole agent responsible of propelling a nation towards advancement. Muslims hold an unmatchable position in the field of teaching Islam, and renowned global Institutions of learning such as specialised Islamic seminaries (known as Dar al-Ulooms), Islamic colleges and universities are a testament to the unparalleled ability to teach Islamic studies. However, an area that there is room for improvement is in the field of research. Teaching repeats the information we already know, but it does not enhance or advance the knowledge of what we know. This is the role of research, to advance the understanding of what we know and how we know it.
