Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dr. M. Kamal Hassan (Allāh yarḥamuhu) needed no introduction among many of the older generations of leaders, academics, scholars and students of the Muslim world. He was the third Rector of the International Islamic University Malaysia from 1998 to 2006, who contributed immensely to the University for 40 years. For most of us, he was an academic and scholar par excellence, an effective leader, a gentle and caring father figure and big brother, an outstanding pillar, and an internationally renowned teacher and thinker. He was known to walk the talk, always firmly unapologetic in his views on fundamental matters, yet flexible when considering circumstances. A champion of the Ummatic agenda of Islamisation or Islamicisation.
