Abstract

Prof Kamal Hassan was a mover and shaker in the field of knowledge and Islamic awakening with little interest in recognition or glory for himself. He was critical to the founding of the International Islamic University Malaysia, authored its concept paper and then became its 3rd Rector. He held many other important positions – inside and outside Malaysia – including the Chair of Islam in Southeast Asia at Georgetown University, USA and later in life the Chairman of the Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (Institut Kefahaman Islam Malaysia [IKIM]). What is more, he was one of Malaysia’s five National Distinguished Professors (Profesor Ulung). With such a long list of impressive credentials, he was the epitome of humility, gentleness, modesty, politeness, altruism and simplicity.
