The study delves into how al-Faruqi’s principles were adapted and institutionalized within the Kulliyyah’s curriculum, promoting a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to education rooted in Islamic values. Descriptive and analytical methods are used in this research. By analyzing the alignment of al-Faruqi’s idea with the mission of AHASKIRKHS, this paper underscores his enduring impact on fostering a generation of scholars equipped to address contemporary issues through a balanced synthesis of tradition and modernity
