“Keadaan universiti-universiti di negara-negara Islam yang mengajar agama dan tamadun Islam telah menjadi amat lemah kerana ketiadaan koleksi perpustakaan yang lengkap, program akademik kukuh, penyeliaan serius dan bersifat terlalu berpihak kepada politik. Segelintir institusi pengajian tinggi yang baik, dirosakkan oleh perasaan hasad, dengki dan fikiran sempit.”
― Wan Mohd Nor Wan Daud, Rihlah Ilmiah: dari Neomodernisme ke Islamisasi Ilmu Kontemporer
The condition of universities in Muslim countries that teach Islamic studies and Islamic civilization are now intellectually weak due to the absence of a library with a complete set of book collection, strong academic programs, serious supervision, as well as the presence of political leanings. A few excellent institutions of higher learning have been destroyed by bigotry and envy.
