Abstract

The study explores the concept of integration of knowledge and the foreseen issues and challenges in its implementation at Yobe State University, Yobe State, Nigeria. Integration of knowledge within the educational domain can be employed to foster a strong generation of interdisciplinary knowledge. This concept involves amalgamating two or more components, blending Western and Islamic knowledge. Muslims are encouraged to pursue various forms of knowledge. The study uses the qualitative approach to examine the role of integration of knowledge in addressing the designed objective which includes literature review from documented journal articles and books. The findings of the study show that integration of knowledge has the potential to address the issues and challenges confronting its implementation in Yobe State University, Nigeria. The paper asserts that the adoption of Western knowledge propagates secular influences within a nation's educational framework, potentially eroding its Islamic identity. Consequently, harmonizing Islamic and Western knowledge should be viewed as a viable option for society to align their daily practices with authentic Islamic teachings.
