1 GLOBAL WASATIYYAH SUMMIT Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia July 31 August 2, Organized by International Institute of Wasatiyyah (IIW) Kuala Lumpur Campus, Malaysia Background: Wasatiyyah (Eng. moderation) is an Arabic term, which refers to individual or group characteristics as being moderate and balanced. It also means an attitude, which is contrary to being in the state of excessiveness and extremism. There have been a number of terminologies associated with Wasatiyyah, as in the English literature, such as moderation, mainstream, intermediacy, middle path, midpoint, reasonable, rational, acceptable, common, and many others. For Muslims, the history of Wasatiyyah is rooted in the Qur an, which describes Muslims as a global community justly balanced. In essence, the application of Wasatiyyah leads to enjoy social justice, freedom, equality, and to seek a middle path among all citizens, regardless of their ethno-religious backgrounds. Rational In today s world, religious tolerance is of utmost importance where individuals need to learn, recognize and understand the religious and racial differences that exist among them while living in peace and harmony. Can moderation be applied as a missing-link to maintain social justice and peaceful coexistence in contemporary societies? This and other questions have been of paramount importance in the minds of many social scientists, intellectuals, policymakers and religious leaders, who felt the increasing calls by religious groups for a greater political role in shaping their own destiny. The Global Wasatiyyah (moderation) Summit aims to address such concerns and challenges, and be a platform through which scholars and researchers can debate multidisciplinary issues, and provide rational policy-oriented recommendations. The Summit s theme will be focused on The Application of Religious Moderation in Contemporary Society. In addition, the Kuala Lumpur s Summit on moderation offers a first-time venue to scholarly examine perceptions and understandings of Wasatiyyah, in the global context. It is an essential and timely needed gathering, both in and outside the Muslim world. This multidisciplinary educational Summit will be organized by The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and its subsidiary the International Institute of Wasatiyyah (IIW).

2 Objectives: The main objective of the multidisciplinary Global Wasatiyyah Summit or moderation is to initiates a response to the challenges faced by modern societies, and hope to become a "stepping stone" for further intellectual gatherings.
