Welcoming speech by the Dean of the College of Islamic Sciences
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds… In line with the vision of the Ministry and the University, which aims to build a vibrant society grounded in firm values to achieve sustainable development and a prosperous economy, the College seeks to enhance the education system and raise its efficiency to meet the nation’s developmental needs. Our goal is to ensure quality education for all citizens, expand access to diverse and high-standard learning opportunities that respond to development requirements, and guarantee continuous improvement, retraining, and professional achievement. It is no secret that we have developed new ideas, plans, and projects for the coming year, aspiring for our College to take its distinguished place that it truly deserves—especially given the vital role that Colleges of Islamic Sciences can play in spreading the principles of true religion. Today, more than ever, the Islamic world needs purification of religion from distortion and misrepresentation promoted by those who seek to undermine it with the help of the weak-minded and self-interested. Our College comprises two departments: Department of Sharia (Islamic Law) Department of Creed and Islamic Thought These departments cover all levels of study, including Master’s and Doctoral programs. Finally, our College would not have achieved its accomplishments without a dedicated team working in harmony and unity of purpose, complementing the University’s vision of modernization to keep pace with today’s world. We ask Almighty Allah to guide our steps toward what benefits our nation and serves its people, to inspire us with innovation and paths of renewal, and to make these efforts among the enduring good deeds that are best in reward and best in hope before Him.
