Qalb, ‘aql, nafs, lecturers, administrative staffs as well as all the facilities available in ISDEV are the tools that need to be sharpen. These tools could only be illustrated through good conducts in instilling the mahmudah characteristics and eliminating the mazmumah characteristics. Prof. Syukri also added that through faith and devotion towards Allah SWT is the way to avoid and eliminate mazmumah characteristics.

However, for academicians as well as administrative staffs, Prof. Syukri reiterated that the only way to honing these tools is through having skills and expertise in delivering ilmu (knowledge) sincerely in addition to strengthening the ukhwah, love and tolerance among ISDEV fraternity. The advantage of honing the tools is also seen in facilities available at ISDEV such as the development of ISDEV’s new complex and education waqf.
