The
Logo represents the aspirations, ideals and objectives of the International
Islamic University Malaysia. It is made up of four main parts:
- the symbol of the Al-Qur'an;
This represents the highest source of knowledge, namely the Revelation (Wahyu)
of Allah s.w.t. which guides and inspires the pursuit of knowledge in the
University. The central position of the symbol implies that the University
upholds the supremacy of Allah's knowledge, wisdom and words above all
human knowledge.
- the symbol of the Kaabah;
The symbol represents:
- the unity of knowledge and the unity of mankind
which Islam propagates;
- the principle of Tawhid (the oneness of God) as
the foundation of Muslim personality, culture and society that the
University strives to promote through the dissemination of Tawhid-based
knowledge and disciplines; and
- the concept of 'Ibadah (service and worship of
Allah) as a fundamental rationale of human existence and all pursuits of
knowledge in conformity with Allah's guidance and Shari'ah.

- the eight domes pointing in eight
directions
They represent the different branches of human knowledge and academic
disciplines in the University which spring from the same source of Tawhid
and the basis of Revelation.
In terms of specialization they point in
different directions, but the various academic principles are in fact
united by the principle of 'Ibadah and subservience to the 'Aqidah
(belief), Shari'ah (law) and Akhlaq (ethics) of Islam.
This common principle is represented by the
colour of gold sprouting from the square symbol of the Kaabah.
- the eight outer domes
The domes represent the various Islamic development efforts of man based
on the knowledge and disciplines which are grounded in the common
foundation of Tawhid. The development of social life, culture and
civilization must therefore be inspired by Divine guidance and true
knowledge.
