SHARIAH COMPETENCY TRAINING FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS – SHARIAH MANAGERS (PHASE 1)

9 June 2026 – The Department of Shariah Compliance (DSC), SASMEC @ IIUM successfully organised the Shariah Competency Training for Healthcare Professionals – Shariah Managers (Phase 1), one of the key initiatives under the SASMEC @ IIUM Strategic Planning 2025–2026. Designed for top management, department heads, and unit coordinators, the programme aims to strengthen Shariah competency, enhance Shariah compliance awareness, and support Shariah-informed decision-making in hospital management and healthcare delivery.

The two-day programme adopted a hybrid learning approach. The first day featured a series of online lectures covering essential Shariah-related topics relevant to healthcare professionals and managers. The second day was conducted physically at Grand Darul Makmur Hotel, Kuantan, and included a special lecture by Prof. Dr. Aasim I. Padela, an internationally recognised scholar, researcher, and Emergency Medicine physician whose work focuses on the intersection of healthcare, religion, bioethics, and public health.

A key highlight of the programme was the case engagement and group discussion session, where participants analysed real-life healthcare scenarios through the lens of Shariah principles. The session encouraged critical thinking, collaborative learning, and practical application of Shariah values in addressing contemporary clinical and administrative challenges.

The programme concluded with group presentations and feedback from a distinguished panel comprising Prof. Dr. Aasim I. Padela, Prof. Dr. Jamalludin Ab Rahman, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Hasbullah Mohamed, whose insights further enriched participants’ understanding of Shariah-informed healthcare practices.

May the knowledge and experience gain through this programme contribute towards strengthening a culture of excellence, integrity, and Shariah compliance in healthcare services at SASMEC @ IIUM.
