Introducing Islamicjerusalem Studies as an Academic
Discipline in Malaysia: Prospects and Challenges
Abstract (250 words)
The new field of inquiry, Islamicjerusalem Studies has
been introduced in the United Kingdom more than a
decade ago. The study has flourished since then until
today. Now, it becomes one of the central subjects being
taught at Al-Maktoum Institute, which is one of the
centers within the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
During early days, this study has gone through various
challenges until it has been fully established by the
opening of Al-Maktoum Institute in the year 2001. This is
a significance subject that tries to approach
Islamicjerusalem academically, thus reflect to the need of
new and multi-disciplinary approach within Islamic
Studies, especially after the event of September 11. There
is now a need to introduce this study in Malaysia,
particularly to relate on how Islamicjerusalem deal with
the issues of multiculturalism and conflict resolution.
Hence, this paper attempts to examine prospects and
challenges in introducing this study away from its
birthplace to the other part of the world, which is
Malaysia.
