IPC remains a cornerstone platform for our vibrant postgraduate community to showcase innovative research, exchange transformative ideas, and foster meaningful scholarly discourse.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>This year, we elevate our academic pursuit under the compelling theme: <span class=\"theme-tag\">\"Transformative Research for Ummatic Excellence.\"<\/span> While our past deliberations anchored us firmly in Tawhidic Epistemology, IPC 2026 challenges us to translate holistic knowledge into tangible action. As postgraduate researchers, your work is not meant to sit on a shelf; it is meant to be a catalyst for change.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>The Ummah today faces complex, multifaceted global challenges. This colloquium is your staging ground to present research that drives societal transformation, solves real-world problems, and contributes directly to the betterment of the global community. The incredible diversity of disciplines represented here today reflects the interdisciplinary strength of IIUM.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>I encourage you to look beyond your own fields, engage in cross-disciplinary dialogue, and build networks that will outlast this event. I wish you all an intellectually stimulating and rewarding experience at IPC 2026. May your efforts and research endeavors be blessed with success and yield fruitful outcomes for the Ummah and humanity at large.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <p>Thank you, and welcome to IPC 2026!<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bcb25b1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bcb25b1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Message from the Chairman Prof. Dr. Shahrul Na’im Bin Sidek ChairmanIIUM POSTGRADUATE COLLOQUIUM 2026 Message from the Chairman Assalamu\u2019alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and Warm Greetings, On behalf of the Centre for Postgraduate Studies (CPS), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), it is my utmost pleasure to welcome all participants, presenters, and scholars […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/template-pagebuilder-full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-336","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/conference.iium.edu.my\/iiumpgcolloquium\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/conference.iium.edu.my\/iiumpgcolloquium\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/conference.iium.edu.my\/iiumpgcolloquium\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conference.iium.edu.my\/iiumpgcolloquium\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conference.iium.edu.my\/iiumpgcolloquium\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=336"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/conference.iium.edu.my\/iiumpgcolloquium\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/336\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":845,"href":"https:\/\/conference.iium.edu.my\/iiumpgcolloquium\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/336\/revisions\/845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/conference.iium.edu.my\/iiumpgcolloquium\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
