Working papers were formally discussed, touching on the latest researches conducted on the five Usuluddin doctrines in connection with Aqidah, Da’wah, Tafsir and Hadith, among others.

Organised every semester, the event gave an opportunity to faculty academicians to contribute their skills and knowledge to the students as well as the community at large through discussions, especially on religious issues.

The forum was also a platform to guide and train undergraduates in presenting ideas and opinions to the public.
