For a long time, there has been an element of dualism in the education system, and
research has shown that there has been a great concern among many Muslim countries that
university graduates live a life not in line with the Islamic values advocated in the Quran and
the Sunnah. This stems from the value crises that lie within the values transpired to the
students, whereby there are gaps between the worldly knowledge (Aqli) and the Islamic
knowledge (Naqli) which results in imbalanced graduates—secularised minds versus the
conservative ones. Both groups are incapable in performing the ‘right’ role of a khalifah for
the betterment of the ummah, as one is more equipped with the worldly knowledge, and viceversa. This study looks at the curriculum of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course
conducted at USIM—whether or not the elements of Naqli and Aqli are being integrated in the
curriculum. Findings reveal that the integration of Naqli and Aqli elements in the EAP course
is still at the initial stage as could be seen through the related documents of the course, and
also based on the instructors’ views. The elements are superficially and loosely integrated,
merely through the mention of the phrase ‘Naqli and Aqli’ but without clear guidelines of how
it could be more systematically implemented, especially for language courses. The study is
hoped to fill the gap, and contribute in the development of integrating Naqli and Aqli elements
for a language course in general, and for EAP specifically.
