Book excerpt: The Reform in Higher Education in Muslim Societies is in sum a paradigm shift in perspective ‎driven by important considerations including the aims of education itself. It may require ‎reforming existing disciplines, inventing new ones, as well as working in conjunction with current ‎knowledge(s) and discourses by taking effective account of the ethical, spiritual norms of Muslim ‎society, the guiding principles that it operates under, which in turn mark the underlying basis of ‎its makeup and spiritual identity. Rather than creating divisions, reform of Higher Education in ‎Muslim Societies recognizes the plurality and diversity of the modern networked world and ‎seeks to replace sterile and uniform approaches to knowledge with a broader and more creative ‎understanding of reality as lived on different soils and different cultures. Moderation, balance ‎and effective communication are paramount features of the underlying philosophy. ‎
