<![CDATA[This study aims to explore the key aspects of incorporating Islamic values into the curriculum design for Islamic higher education in Indonesia and Malaysia. By employing a qualitative approach and comparative study, this research examines two educational paradigms: the integration of knowledge and the Islamization of knowledge. Both models aim to bridge the gap of the dichotomy between modern sciences and Islamic values that has contributed to fragmented graduate competencies.

Therefore, a strategically designed Arabic language curriculum is crucial, serving as a critical mechanism for internalizing Islamic values in Islamic universities. The findings reveal that both institutions share common goals: cultivating graduates who embody academic excellence alongside deep-rooted Islamic values and intellectual consciousness.]]>
