Abstract

Nurturing a noble generation and a knowledgeable society through the integration of Naqli or Revealed knowledge (Quran and Sunnah) and Aqli or acquired knowledge (worldly knowledge) is the philosophy of the Islamic Science University of Malaysia (USIM). This paper describes part of the findings of a larger study which explores the integration of Naqli and Aqli elements in the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course. Employing a qualitative approach, the researchers conducted face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with first year students who have undergone the EAP course. As revealed in the results of the interviews, the students are found to have minimal awareness and understanding of the Naqli and Aqli concept, and that their EAP instructors only superficially explain the concept of Naqli and Aqli in their lessons. Even so, the students are optimistic, and believe that the integration could be more successful and holistic to fulfil the University’s mission and vision in generating respectable Muslim ummah.

 

Abstrak

Memelihara generasi mulia dan masyarakat yang berpengetahuan melalui integrasi pengetahuan Naqli (Quran dan Sunnah) dan Aqli (pengetahuan duniawi) adalah falsafah Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). Kertas kerja ini menerangkan sebahagian daripada penemuan kajian yang lebih besar yang meneroka pengintegrasian unsur-unsur Naqli dan Aqli dalam kursus Bahasa Inggeris untuk Keperluan Akademik (EAP). Melalui pendekatan kualitatif, para penyelidik melakukan temu bual secara bersemuka dan separa berstruktur dengan pelajar tahun pertama yang telah menjalani kursus EAP. Seperti yang dijelaskan dalam hasil temu bual, para pelajar didapati mempunyai kesedaran dan pemahaman yang minima mengenai konsep Naqli dan Aqli, Para pengajar EAP juga tidak menyentuh konsep Naqli dan Aqli secara mendalam. Walau bagaimanapun, para pelajar masih bersifat optimistik dan percaya bahawa integrasi tersebut berpotensi menjadi lebih berjaya dan holistik untuk memenuhi misi dan visi Universiti dalam menghasilkan umat Islam yang dihormati.
