Diploma in Shariah Law & Practice
The Diploma in Shari'ah Law & Practice (DSLP) programme is offered by
the Centre for Islamic Management Studies (CIMS) in collaboration with the Ahmad
Ibrahim Kulliyah of Laws (organized by Harun M Hashim
Law Centre) of the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM).
The programme is conducted in English and all classes are held at
CIMS' premises in Singapore. All lecturers are from the IIUM. This diploma
programme is the first of its kind in the English language, in Singapore.
It is intended for mature English-speaking students. A diploma will be
awarded by IIUM to all participants who have successfully completed the
one-year course.
Background
The law that
governs the Muslims in Singapore has recently been upgraded with the
amendment of the Administration of Muslim Law 1966 (AMLA). The court that
administers the Muslim law in Singapore has also been reorganized so that
it can serve the Muslim community better. In view of this, the legal
fraternity and the public alike in Singapore have much interest to know
more about Shari'ah law and its application. In this respect, IIUM's
experience in the implementation of Shari'ah law in Malaysia can be shared
with its counterparts in Singapore. The Kuliyyah of Laws has conducted the
Diploma in Shari'ah Law and Practice programme in Malaysia for more than a
decade. Hence it has developed an expertise in the study of the
administration of Shari'ah and is able to prepare students to meet
challenges. In order to promote mutual cooperation for the advancement of
knowledge and intellectual development in this area, it is timely to
extend the DSLP programme to Singapore.
