Islamic Affairs Unit
The Islamic Affairs Division is the original entity of the Religious Unit which was established on 3rd March 1971 placed under the Student Affairs Division. It was established with the aim of helping students equip themselves with basic knowledge of religion, in addition to solving religious problems that always arise among students. From February 1998, the Religious Unit was given a new name, the Islamic Development Unit, which was placed under the Integrated Islamic Service Center (PKIB) which is based at the UiTM Islamic Center. Its role and function is extended to religious propagation services among staff in addition to its essential duties for students.
In January 2001 it was restored to its original function under the Student Affairs Division and renamed the Religious Unit. From May 2002, it was revamped and renamed the Center for Islamic Thought and Understanding (CITU).
On 21 May 2013, the Center for Islamic Thought and Understanding was upgraded to the Academy of Contemporary Islamic Studies (ACIS), In line with this development, Islamic Affairs was also elevated to an Islamic Center.
