International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC)

Bismillahirahmanirrahim ...

The International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC) was founded on 27th February, 1987. It was officially launched by then Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed on 4th October, 1991 as a research and postgraduate institution offering degrees in Islamic civilization and Islamic science.

At its inception, ISTAC had only a director, a senior assistant librarian, a principal assistant registrar, an accountant and a support staff of five. A few years later, a Deputy Director and Registrar joined the group to assist with academic and administrative matters respectively.

The campus consists of a main administration and academic building, a library, a mosque and a conference hall. From 1991 to 2002, ISTAC was an autonomous body affiliated to the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). However, in 2002, it was made a Kulliyyah of IIUM.
