ABSTRACT

Faculty members in the college come from various intellectual and academic and even religious trends. This diversity has always been a part of intellectual imagination of the first founders of the college's project and its research wings until today. Therefore, it teaches three specializations in the arts, just as it teaches two specializations in science, in addition to a doctorate recently established in Islamic Finance and Economics. There are four centers affiliated to the college which vary in their degree of activity, but given that the Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics is the most important and the biggest in production and attendance, the author focuses on it. This chapter gives a pioneer example of how other Shariah faculties in the Arab and Muslim world can benefit from the experience of the College of Islamic Studies without falling into the same pitfalls as those identified within the trajectory of this college.
