At the Sultan Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Centre for Islamic Studies (SOASCIS), our unwavering dedication to academic excellence is at the core of our ethos. We steadfastly believe in the profound potential of every research project we undertake, viewing each as a crucial building block in our ongoing pursuit of knowledge and understanding. Every project contributes a unique strand to our richly woven tapestry of inquiry, futuring together as we extend our exploration beyond conventional boundaries and intersect multiple academic disciplines. The intellectual excellence of our esteemed faculty enables us to transcend traditional limitations, as we tirelessly strive to unravel the complex layers of Islamic studies and the experiences of Muslims in our rapidly changing world.
