“…Focusing on Islamic studies, which define the nature and framework of Islamic knowledge (Khir, 2007), brands play a major role in minimizing the perceived risk JIMA 4,2 associated with the selection decision of the IHEIs. That is to say that Islamic studies is beyond the scope of studying the requirements of Muslim faith but it includes other sciences as well that help Muslim to implement the principle of Islam in different discipline such as Islamic Finance, Islamic marketing and public policies (Kayadibi and Buang, 2011).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to enhance the academic understanding of the perception of brand dimensions in the Islamic Higher Education Institutions (IHEIs) and explore the implications for managerial practice. The main objective of this research is to identify the branding aspects that apply to higher education branding in general and Islamic higher education in particular. The empirical setting is the Middle East, which has a mixture of public and private Islamic institutions working on spreading the moderate Islamic thoughts internationally. Design/methodology/approach -The methodology used to guide the research is based on exploratory qualitative research approach composed of 45 in-depth interviews with academicians and executives from five Gulf countries. The adopted qualitative approach is based on inductive logic to help reveal the main criteria influencing the perception of IHEIs' brands. Findings -The results provide partial support for the proposed conceptual framework of the dimension of branding in the Islamic higher education market, with the functional dimension being far more significant than the social, mental and spiritual dimensions. Findings indicate that internationalisation will be the key element that influences the perception of the brand in the new competitive environment. The research also reveals the respondents' ideal definition of a good brand, the perception of brand's determinants and the general characteristics of the ideal higher education institution. Practical implications -Recommendations are provided to decision makers in IHEIs, in order to develop their educational services and enhance their institutions' brand image. Originality/value -This research helps in structuring what defines a good IHEI brand, from the perspective of academicians and experts in the labour market.

“…These subsequently mentioned subjects were known to have roots in Western scholarly tradition, especially in the humanities and social studies. In the meantime, the Science of Al-Qur'an and the Science of Hadith were subjects unique to IRS (Azra, 2015;Khir, 2007). The lineage with humanities and social studies in Western tradition was important in the traffic of vocabulary, since translations of Western classic academic works into Arabic and vice versa were a common practice throughout the history of both Western and Islamic civilization.…”

“…As Hassan (2016) pointed out, some terminologies in IRS that come originally from Arabic language were conventionally not translated into other language(s). In addition, the Science of Arabic language, which is seen as instrumental in understanding the religious textual sources (Khir, 2007), prescribed ways of preserving such terminologies whilst maintaining their universal recognition in the Islamic world. The percentage of Arabic words token in Qur'an and Hadith were higher than other topics.…”

This paper charts the construction of a technical vocabulary list called the Islamic Religious Studies Textbooks Vocabulary (IRSTV) which was developed from the Corpus of Islamic religious studies textbooks (CIRST) in an Indonesian Islamic State Institute (IISI). The study is aimed to meet the need of first-year English language learners studying in Indonesian Islamic tertiary education. The IRSTV list contains selected word types extracted from five major sub-disciplines of Islamic Religious Studies (IRS), i.e. the science of Qur’an, the science of Hadiths, Islamic law and jurisprudence, Islamic philosophy and theology, and Islamic mysticism theology, taught in most Indonesian Islamic universities and colleges. The quantitative analysis of frequency, range and keyness score ranking was conducted and aided by Corpus analysis software i.e. Antwordprof and Antconc keyword tool. A final triangulated ranking of these three criteria was conducted to produce a more balanced technical vocabulary list resulting in 262 word types or 239 lemmas of English words that are needed to be learned by English as Foreign Language (EFL) students of Indonesian Islamic universities, state institutes and colleges.

“…While there is a substantial and heterogeneous research interest in issues of Islamic religious education and institutions relating to their curriculum (André and Demonsant, 2012;Khir, 2007), pedagogy (Hardaker and Sabki, 2012;Reetz, 2010;Sabki and Hardaker, 2012), reformation (Begum and Kabir, 2012;Tan, 2010, p. 165), cognitive outcome (Ashraf, 2012;Rao and Hossain, 2011) and graduate attitudes (Asadullah et al, 2009), studies on post-graduation outcomes of IS students, especially graduate attitudes in choosing their children's career, are rare (Asadullah and Chaudhury, 2010). This study distinguishes between general Islamic education and IS.…”

Purpose A preliminary observation reveals that children of Islamic studies (IS) academicians do not choose IS as their career discipline. In view of this, this paper aims to explore the dimensions of parental attitudes, behaviours, perceptions and aspirations in seeing a future in IS for their children. Design/methodology/approach Fifteen interviews were conducted to explore the attitude of IS academicians. Findings led us to hypothesize that perceived social recognition explains the maximum variance. Later, 126 academicians were surveyed. Findings Results of regression analysis rejected the null hypothesis. The parental attitude of IS academicians, their engagement and perceived social recognition significantly predicted their aspiration in enrolling their children in IS. The regression model explained 64 per cent of total variance accounted for IS academicians’ career aspirations for their children. This study suggests investigating the socio-cultural and geographical impact on the career aspirations of IS academicians for their children. Originality/value The findings and results of the study can contribute to educational counselling to guide the counsellors. Further study on this issue may reveal whether IS academicians have plans to modify the curriculum or change their socio-economic status. It should also be examined whether they are doing so as a part of their implicit or explicit strategy.
