Is AI really a go in the university? 🕵🏻‍♂️

With AI quickly becoming a staple in education, the big question isn't just how to use it, but how to use it right.

We recently hosted a lively Teh Tarik Session at The Lounge with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Maya Puspa Rahman to dive into Integrity in the Usage of AI for the Learning Process.

The discussion hit right at the heart of what students need to know today, especially when it comes to AI in assessments. The biggest takeaway? While AI opens up incredible new opportunities for learning, academic integrity must always come first.

Thank you to everyone who joined us both physically and online to exchange ideas over a warm cup of teh tarik! ☕✨

Is the ṣukūk market ready to move beyond form towards true Sharīʿah substance?

This study highlights how AAOIFI Sharīʿah Standard No. 62 signals a decisive shift towards genuine ownership and risk-sharing in ṣukūk structures. It shows that authenticity lies not in contractual design alone, but in the real transfer of risk, return, and economic substance.

Yet, the transition is not without challenges. Legal constraints, market expectations, and institutional readiness continue to shape how far and how fast these principles can be implemented.

As the ṣukūk market evolves, the findings invite deeper reflection on how Sharīʿah principles, regulatory frameworks, and financial innovation can be aligned to support more authentic and sustainable market development.

We are delighted to announce that INCEIF University and the Centre for Excellence in Islamic Finance at the Institute of Business Administration (IBA CEIF), Pakistan, have officially signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)!

Representing INCEIF University at the ceremony were our Deputy President Academic, Prof. Dr. Mansor Ibrahim, and Associate Dean for Students and Internationalisation, Prof. Dr. Aishath Muneeza, alongside a distinguished delegation from IBA Pakistan led by Dean Prof. Dr. Abdullah Zafar Sheikh.

Building on a warm and successful partnership that began in 2019, this updated agreement brings together two world-class, AACSB-accredited institutions to focus on what matters most—our academic community.

Moving forward, we will work closely together to boost global student mobility through hands-on experiential learning, facilitate faculty and knowledge exchanges, and drive joint research projects that tackle modern economic and sustainability challenges.
