Abstract
Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Datuk Ahmad bin Mohamed Ibrahim (1916–1999) was a highly unconventional man who could carryout the works of public office, teaching and administration ,and pioneering research and publishing to the highest standards. As a devout Muslim, he had the best of both worlds in which he embodied the interaction between Islamic and Western thoughts, promoted the structured development of the Islamic legal system in Malaysia without
undermining the traditional common law system and, wherever possible, sought to harmonise the two systems. In the long run, he lived well and taught others to live well too, leaving behind a rich and inspiring legacy.
