Last week, I shared with my PhD students at IIUM Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance (IIiBF) a topic on Attributes of Good Research and Good Researcher. Here, I summarized the main points of my presentations.
Attributes of good research:
1. Undertake a comprehensive and critical literature review
2. Well conceived research objectives
3. Theoretically sound research hypotheses or propositions
4. Well developed research design and theoretical framework
5. Valid and reliable research method and analysis
6. Useful and well written research findings
Attributes of good researcher:
1. Clear and sincere intention
2. Love of knowledge
3. Disciplined and good time manager
4.Good aptitude and creative minds
5. Equip with necessary research skills
6. Ambitious
I discussed the above attributes in a proper context with the following quotations:
"And Allah has brought you forth from your mother’s womb knowing nothing – but He has endowed you with hearing, and sight, and minds, so that you might cause to be grateful”(Al-Qur’an, An-Nahl, verse 78)
“Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave” (Prophet Muhammad SAW)
“Longing for knowledge is eternal” (Einstein)
It is important to appreciate research and knowledge in our short time in this temporary world. Let us contribute to mankind and the Ummah to the best of our ability and effort.
