A survey results are used to empirically investigate the knowledge requirements for Islamic Knowledge Portal, and the findings from these activities are used to identify the required knowledge content and to design the important features for Islamic Knowledge Portal. © 2006-2015 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
