Introduction
Wisdom International School for Higher Education Studies (WISHES) is recognized by the Philippine government through
the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) as an accredited institution of
higher learning for higher Islamic studies (Diploma, BA, MA and Doctoral degree programs) and other degree programs (BSBA,
MBA and DBA) relevant to professional growth, well-balanced personality and ultimate success. It is the first accredited online
institution to offer double degrees: Bachelor of Arts in Islamic Studies and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and
Bachelor of Arts in Islamic Studies and Bachelor of Science in Elementary/Secondary Education Major in English, giving
opportunity for students worldwide to have a well-balanced education. It has its physical campus in Davao City, Philippines
which offers the Basic Education (Pre-School, Elementary and High School) for Muslim young learners to learn Arabic, Islamic
Studies and Qur’an along with the modern curriculum required by the Philippine Department of Education.
WISDOM -- a word synonymous to knowledge and the translation of the Arabic word "hikmah" referring to the Prophet's Sunnah
in the Glorious Qur'an -- is an acronym for World Islamic Service for Developing Outstanding Muslims (WISDOM). This is the
theme of Wisdom Enrichment International Learning Program (WEILP) a project initially started in 2003 as a non-degree Islamic
Studies online program of the Wisdom Enrichment Foundation (WEFOUND), a non-profit, non-political, private organization
which is accredited by the Philippine Security and Exchange Commission (SEC). Alhamdullillah, after two years of operation,
WEILP has officially become the Wisdom International School for Higher Education Studies (WISHES) offering BA, MA and
Doctorate degree programs in Islamic Studies specializing in Aqeedah (Firm Belief), Islamic Personality Development and
Da’wah according to the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Students who will graduate in this educational institution are expected to have
the right aqeedah (belief) and/or eeman (faith), develop the characteristics expected of Muslims according to the Qur'an and the
Sunnah, and do righteous deeds for the sole pleasure of Allah the Most High. In this way, they will be able to do da'wah
(inviting people to Islam), enjoin the right and forbid the wrong so that in the sight of Allah the Most Merciful they become
outstanding Muslims. They will be among those successful Muslims who will attain Allah's Mercy -- worthy of His everlasting
rewards. Allah the Only True God and Sustainer says:
“You (practicing Muslims) are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind. You enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and
believe in Allah...” (Qur'an 3:110)
“Allah has promised the believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein and beautiful mansions in
gardens of everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allah: that is the supreme success.” (Qur'an 9:72)
“And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it—such are the men who do right. They shall have all that
they wish for, with their Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer). Such is the reward of those who do good: so that Allah will remit from
them (even) the worst in their deeds and give them their reward according to the best of what they have done.” (Qur'an 39:3335)

Our Value System
The nucleus of our value system is WISDOM -- we share Allah’s blessing (i.e., Islamic knowledge based on the Qur’an and the
Sunnah) with the following value system:
● W - Wisdom
“He (Allah) grants wisdom to whom He pleases; and he to whom wisdom is granted receives indeed a benefit overflowing; but
none will grasp the Message but men of understanding.” (Qur’an 2: 269)
“My Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer)! Bestow wisdom (religious knowledge, right judgment of the affairs) on me, and join me
with the righteous. And grant me an honorable mention in later generations. And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise
of Delight.” (Ash-Shu`ara 26:83)
● I - Integrity
We are honest and ethical in all our relationships, starting with how we treat each other. We keep our promises and adhere to
Truth. Our personal and professional conduct ensures trust.
● S - Sincerity and Sacrifice
We dedicate all our deeds to Allah: “Say: ‘Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death are (all) for Allâh,
the Cherisher of the Worlds.’” (Qur’ân 6:162)
● D- Dynamism
We accept our current reality and the underlying challenges. Our total quality management approach to innovative learning in a
dynamic environment conforms to the basic principles of consistency, reliability, integrity and dynamism.
“Verily Allah will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as they do not change their state (of goodness)
themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allah).” (Qur'an Ar-Rad 13:11)
● O - Outstanding accomplishments
We are always delighted when we, our students and the rest of the Muslims attain excellence and perfection in our
accomplishments and everything we do for the pleasure of Allah.
“…Our Rabb! Perfect our Light for us, and grant us Forgiveness: for You have power over all things.” (Qur’ân 66:8)
Abû Hurairah
narrated that the Prophet
said, “Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion
will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good
tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by offering the prayers in the mornings, afternoons and during the last
hours of the nights.” (Bukhâri 1/ 38)
● M - Moderation
We adopt moderation in all our deeds and actions: “Thus We have made you a just (moderate) Ummah that you be witnesses
over mankind and the Messenger be a witness over you.” (Al-Baqarah 2: 143)
Our Vision and Mission
Our Vision
4
Our vision is to see a learned and prosperous society that adheres to the authentic teachings of Islam where members are ideal
individuals and groups who please Allah wholeheartedly, live a pure Islamic life in this world, and aspire to attain eternal bliss in
the Hereafter. This vision conforms to the prayer of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), as a source of inspiration,
enlightenment and aspiration as stated in the Qur'an:
“My Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer)! Bestow wisdom (religious knowledge, right judgment of the affairs) on me, and join me
with the righteous. And grant me an honorable mention in later generations. And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise
of Delight.” (Ash-Shu`ara 26:83)
