Malaysia’s foremost scientist, Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, a very influential Muslim thinker and scholar from Malaysia.

Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas was a renowned Muslim philosopher, historian and scholar of Islamic civilization.

He was born in 1931 and was known for developing the concept of Islamization of knowledge.
He also founded the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization in Kuala Lumpur.

His work influenced Islamic education and intellectual thought across the Muslim world.
He reportedly passed away at age 95.
The report says it happened on the 19th night of Ramadan around 6:47 pm.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ
Transliteration:
Allahumma ighfir lahu warhamhu.

“O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him.”

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn

“Indeed we belong to Allah, and to Him we return.”

The most well-known quotes by Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas about knowledge and character:

“The loss of adab (proper discipline and good conduct) is the real cause of the corruption of knowledge and the confusion in the Muslim world.”

He often emphasized that knowledge must be accompanied by adab (good manners, discipline, and moral integrity). Without it, knowledge can be misused or misunderstood.

Another quote from him:
“The purpose of seeking knowledge in Islam is to produce a good man, not merely a good citizen.”

This reflects his philosophy that education in Islam should shape the soul, character, and faith, not just produce skilled people.

He also founded International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization, where his vision of Islamic intellectual tradition was developed and taught.

A great Muslim scholar has returned to his Creator. May Allah grant mercy to Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas and reward him for his knowledge and service to the Ummah.
