Abstract

Education at University Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (IIUM) has always been rooted in the belief that knowledge should not remain confined within classrooms, lecture notes, or examinations. Instead, learning is meant to shape character, nurture responsibility, and prepare students to contribute meaningfully to society. In line with this philosophy, the Synergized Academic with Student Activities (SAA) initiative serves as a platform that bridges academic learning with real-life engagement. The SAA Community Engagement Programme was held on 13 December 2025 at Mosque Al-Shariff, Village Simpang Tiga, Gombak. The programme was organised by the Secretariat of Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh 2024/2025, with the involvement of 135 students from RKFQ 2313 (Sections 1, 2, and 3) and RKFQ 4315. Approximately 100 members of the local community participated in the programme, making it a meaningful collaboration between IIUM and the residents of village Simpang Tiga Gombak. This programme was designed not merely as a one-off community visit, but as part of the academic structure of the courses Fiqh al-Usrah and Qadaya Fiqhiyyah Muʿasirah. Students were required to plan, organise, and implement the programme as part of their course assessment. Through this process, learning was no longer limited to understanding theories and concepts; instead, students were challenged to apply Islamic jurisprudence in ways that were relevant, practical, and beneficial to society.
