UNIVERSITAS AMANA Curriculum Delivery BOARD Classroom In-House MAME & Remote National Authority E-Learning Academic Hierarchy Facility & Facilitators Investors IT Center & Library ACADEMICS In-House & Remote E-Learning Consultant Group Invitation Although Malaysia’s modern and postmodern eras are punctuated by the genial controversies that accompany all human struggle, it firmly stands as a beacon of m0deration despite the cultural afflictions that assault all indigenous peoples. This testament is one of a singular strength that transcends the chaos of contemporary societies with majority or predominate Muslim constituencies. That the Islamic consciousness has preserved this national integrity is a given for those of us who comprehend the path of Islam. Hence, in view of the need for Muslims to unwaveringly assert themselves in the face of incontrovertible conf licts with antithetical cultural inf luences, and yet accommodate benefits drawn from the perennial struggle we propose a joint M ALAY -EGYPTIAN V ENTURE into higher education. Similar efforts have been launched by the West. Nevertheless, what characterizes this momentum is that it is singularly and privately initiated from within the traditional International Muslim Community -- with a view to: • SYNTHESIZE the benefits acquired from the modern eras with a balanced approach to the Muslim Worldview and ‘Way of life’; • CONSOLIDATE the knowledge and experience gained by the passing generation; • HANDOVER generation. both pools of knowledge and experience to the next Why Malaysia? Why Egypt? Because a constellation of events, needs and principals presently exist to make it possible to realize the mutually beneficial contingencies that inevitably follow success, both now and hereafter. The strategic advantages to be gained are self-evident: EGYPT STANDS IN THE CENTER OF THE MUSLIM WORLD … MALAYSIA STANDS AS A BEACON OF BALANCE BETWEEN POLARIZED EXTREMES. The time is now. WE THEREFORE INVITE YOU TO CONSIDER INVESTING IN A PROGRESSIVE I SLAMIC APPROACH TO HIGHER EDUCATION ; ONE THAT AVOIDS POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM YET PRESERVES THE INTEGRITY OF THE M USLIM ALONG WITH ITS TRADITIONAL DIALOGUE .
