The content of knowledge related to the built environment includes what is needed to plan, develop, build, and care for the earth as its occupants and guardians (Khalifah). However, the frequency of natural disasters has indicated that man has not been able to manage the Amanah. In pioneering research on Maqasid Al-Shari’ah, Ahmad Sarkawi and his group have raised question on whether man is aware of the correct ways to govern the Earth. As an early stage, the study aims to look at the implementation level of IoHK modes in incorporating Maqasid Al-Shari’ah components among lecturers in the College of Built Environment (CBE) at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). The institution serves as an ideal case study, parallel to the existence of the Shari’ah in Built Environment (SiBE) Research Group coupled with the huge numbers of graduates from CBE. Content analysis approach has been utilized, which analyzed academic programs and course outlines. This is followed by structured interviews among the Quantity Surveying (QS) lecturers to evaluate the implementation level of IoHK modes on the Maqasid Al-Shari’ah components. The results indicated that the implementation of the most permissible IoHK mode on all the components of Maqasid Al-Shari’ah is still low among QS lecturers in CBE. Through this scholarly research findings, the researchers aim to help in providing a meaningful recommendation to align the CBE’s educational framework with the major components of Maqasid Al-Shari’ah, thereby advancing the harmonization of Islamic principles with the BE’s body of knowledge.
