There is no conflict between different fields of study in Islamic civilizations, be it natural or social sciences, as all are based on TE as well as there is no dichotomy between science and religion as practiced in the secular Western scholarship. Hence, TE as the anchoring concept enables these different fields to integrate with one another in scientific research. Therefore, there is a vital need for IIUM to establish such a journal as TE is the pivotal theoretical framework for any scholarly discourse at the University. As a result, all research efforts will become ibadah for the sake of Allah. In pursuit of such sacred knowledge endeavours, JTEIK will become the platform for the intellectual discourse surrounding TE and knowledge integration that have become the ethos of the University.
