To ensure that this will continue to be relevant both nationally and globally, USIM will continue to strive to strengthen and elevate its reputation as a pioneer of studies and research based on Islamic Science.

YAB Tuan Haji Aminuddin Harun, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar in his speech said it was the hope of the State Government to enable USIM students to delve into the knowledge acquired here and to carry both the names of Malaysia and Islam to greater heights of recognition.

“The combination of conventional knowledge discipline with Islamic education introduced by the Islamic Science University of Malaysia will not only produce knowledgeable and skilled human beings, but is also an effort to create quality people with a strong sense of identity and spirituality.”

“In the context of being grateful of the peace achieved in this country, let us cultivate love for the homeland, not sparking nuisance that defaces the homeland, and always being devoted to serve the society and nation according to our respective capabilities and expertise. Stay away from being caught up in terrorism and extremist groups that can harm and diverge religions and countries,” he said at the conclusion of the Pledge Ceremony of New Student for the 2018/2019 session.

For twin sisters Siti Mariani and Siti Mariana Bt Ismail, 19, from SMKA LATI, Pasir Mas Kelantan, the youngest of six siblings are both happy and grateful to continue their Bachelor Degree studies at the Faculty of Science and Technology. Prior to this, Mariani was a student of Tamhidi Foundation studies at USIM, while her sister Mariana studied Diploma at UITM. By making USIM their first choice, they are confident that the advantages of the Naqli and Aqli integration applied by USIM will be the best field to nurture students who are balanced in various aspects, including spiritual and physical aspects.
