Abstract:

As a relatively new concept, Learning Commons is often being called interchangeably with other terms such as information commons, knowledge commons, research commons, learning centers or just commons for ideas. However, learning commons is about the relationships and community between the creators and users of the information rather than just about resources for ideas. The concept of Learning Commons which currently being acknowledged as significant to support community-driven resources and lifelong learning seems to be lacking in Malaysian communities. The notion of learning becomes very important in creating a vision of continuous learning society. It is important for Muslim community to have an effective Islamic education and its provision has to be made readily and continuously available. It must be close to the life of the community and easily accessible. In the new era, learning needs to be infused in on the lifelong learning model to replace the traditional approach. More work has to be performed in specifying the details of the architecture. Islam came with knowledge and no aspect of it could be practiced effectively without adequate knowledge. However, today; the current chaotic condition sweeping across the Islamic nations is self-telling about the life condition those countries are in. The only way to alleviate the Muslim from these situations is education.
