HAKIM stands for "Himpunan Keilmuan Muslim" (Malay for: Assembly of Intellectual Muslims). HAKIM’s programs and activities are directed at the long-term civilizational revivification of the Ummah in general and the Muslims of Malaysia in particular through well thought out, systematic educational, research and consultancy initiatives. HAKIM believes that it is of the utmost intellectual and strategic importance for thinking Muslims to appropriate the proper use of the key-term Worldview of Islam and to articulate it in institutional and operational terms so it can serve as a practical guide to people involved in salient public domains of the civilizational enterprise, such as science and technology, politics, civil society, education, justice, economics and commerce.
