Sultan Moulay Slimane University in Beni Mellal, Morocco, is one of the leading academic institutions in implementing new pedagogical guidelines and visions aimed at achieving epistemic integration between the sciences of revelation, natural sciences, and humanities. The Faculty of Arts and Humanities has worked to embed this methodology through its academic supervision and foundational training programs offered to students at various levels, whether basic, advanced, or in-depth. Additionally, the faculty supports this approach through the activities of its research laboratories and centers, which organize national and international seminars and conferences. At the forefront of these efforts are the Maqasid and Dialogue Studies and Research Laboratory and the Center for Knowledge and Civilization Studies, both of which have prioritized the integration of sciences and knowledge as an essential component of their academic research and activities. Their aim is to build bridges between different disciplines, achieving a comprehensive and inclusive perspective, grounded in the belief that humanity's crises are multidimensional and that solutions must adopt diverse and integrated scientific and methodological approaches, whether religious, humanistic, or natural. This research paper seeks to evaluate this pioneering experience through a descriptive and analytical methodology to highlight the methodological and scientific advantages of the university's laboratories and centers. It also aims to showcase their scientific potential and tireless efforts in achieving epistemic integration between Shari’ah sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. The paper further examines the key educational strategies adopted to transcend the traditional system and provide innovative alternatives in teaching methodologies, contributing to intellectual productivity, scientific advancement, and civilizational contribution. This is rooted in the belief that academic institutions and research laboratories are the driving forces for the desired reform. Keywords: epistemic integration, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, Maqasid Laboratory, Center for Knowledge and Civilization Studies.

Abstract

Sultan Moulay Slimane University in Beni Mellal, Morocco, is one of the leading academic institutions in implementing new pedagogical guidelines and visions aimed at achieving epistemic integration between the sciences of revelation, natural sciences, and humanities. The Faculty of Arts and Humanities has worked to embed this methodology through its academic supervision and foundational training programs offered to students at various levels, whether basic, advanced, or in-depth. Additionally, the faculty supports this approach through the activities of its research laboratories and centers, which organize national and international seminars and conferences. At the forefront of these efforts are the Maqasid and Dialogue Studies and Research Laboratory and the Center for Knowledge and Civilization Studies, both of which have prioritized the integration of sciences and knowledge as an essential component of their academic research and activities. Their aim is to build bridges between different disciplines, achieving a comprehensive and inclusive perspective, grounded in the belief that humanity's crises are multidimensional and that solutions must adopt diverse and integrated scientific and methodological approaches, whether religious, humanistic, or natural. This research paper seeks to evaluate this pioneering experience through a descriptive and analytical methodology to highlight the methodological and scientific advantages of the university's laboratories and centers. It also aims to showcase their scientific potential and tireless efforts in achieving epistemic integration between Shari’ah sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. The paper further examines the key educational strategies adopted to transcend the traditional system and provide innovative alternatives in teaching methodologies, contributing to intellectual productivity, scientific advancement, and civilizational contribution. This is rooted in the belief that academic institutions and research laboratories are the driving forces for the desired reform. Keywords: epistemic integration, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, Maqasid Laboratory, Center for Knowledge and Civilization Studies.
