For this aim, this study will first examine the long history of APIUM followed by its methodological approach in studying shariah. Next, it will closely identify individual contributions and achievements of its alumni in various sectors related to shariah. Overall, this study finds that alumni from APIUM have contributed immensely to the development of shariah studies in this country. This is done through APIUM’s unique approach towards Shariah studies, and the important roles played by its alumni in key areas such as fatwa institutions, Islamic judiciary, shariah scholarship, Islamic administration, and Islamic finance.
