The integration of Naqli and Aqli knowledge in curriculum has been a strategic plan of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia to become a prominent global reference institution on its instigation by year 2025. The university has introduced the term Naqli as divine knowledge; which it derives from Quran, Sunnah and references of respected books by previous religious scholars. While, the term Aqli denotes to modern knowledge that are gained through research and discoveries in the present. By having this integration in its curriculum on both of these disciplines, it has made Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia on its own as compared to other tertiary institutions. Through the integration; mandatory internship program for undergraduate students have embraced this curricular approach along with its students’ industrial training session. The objectives for students to undergo the industrial training are for them to be familiarized with their potential job scopes, in addition, to practice the knowledge that they have learnt theoretically in the university. Students are required to choose any particular organization that has to do with their field of study, in order to gain experience and exposure in their upcoming working world. This study then intends to review the organizations that the Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia’s students have attended for their industrial training session on the integration of both Naqli and Aqli practices. Particularly, this study will focus on the organizations in Kelantan as this is the state where majority of all the students are being sent to. This study discovers that regularly, students experience their internship in the state government departments; such as the Department of Islamic Religious Affairs, Kuala Krai Syariah Subordinate Court, Gua Musang Islamic Religious Office, Bachok Islamic Religious Office, Tanah Merah Islamic Religious Office and Kuala Krai Islamic Religious Affairs Office. Also, the students have attended their internship at federal government such as the Department of Indigenous (Orang Asli) Development, Kelantan State Education Department, Tumpat District Education Office and Machang District Education Office. They also underwent their internship in the local authorities’ offices such as Jeli District Council, non-governmental organizations such as the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia as well as private companies such as KEL Computer Station Sdn Bhd.
