The research unit will be known as a place for inquiry and innovation designed to encourage ongoing critical dialogue and action regarding Shariah Laws and Islamic banking and finance law including halal industry and waqf. In pursuing this vision we will foster respect, reciprocity, relationships, and responsibility amongst all members of the University community especially the members of the research unit.
