During the proceedings, the Rector of UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Prof. Noorhaidi Hasan, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D., specifically highlighted the golden reputation held by the Faculty of Ushuluddin. He asserted that this faculty constitutes one of the most illustrious pillars in producing Muslim intellectuals who possess depth of reasoning and moral integrity. According to him, the Faculty of Ushuluddin is not merely a formal educational unit, but a cradle for the birth of progressive scholars capable of dissecting Islamic discourse amidst global complexity. This assertion underscores the faculty's standing as a consistent primary reference in the development of Islamic thought, both nationally and internationally.
The faculty's illustrious existence was comprehensively evaluated by a panel of renowned assessors, including Prof. Dr. Ris’an Rusli and Prof. Dr. Jamal Fakhri for the doctoral program, as well as Dr. Ayi Yunus Rusyana and Prof. Dr. Drs. Sudarman for the master's program. Under the leadership of Dean Prof. Dr. Robby Habiba Abror, S.Ag., M.Hum., the Faculty of Ushuluddin has transformed into an institution that not only excels in accreditation but also stands at the forefront of promoting religious moderation through philosophical approaches and inclusive religious studies. Ultimately, this field assessment is not just an administrative report, but a manifestation of the faculty's commitment to continuously producing graduates capable of serving as a bridge between divine values and modern humanitarian challenges.
