MESSAGE:

 
The concept of spreading Islam throughout the world is a fundamental pillar of the Arabic education system, as the following principles from the document by the Higher Committee for Educational Policy indicate:"The purpose of education is to understand Islam in a proper and complete manner, to implement and spread the Arabic Language & Literature, to provide a student with Islamic values, and teachings." The document discusses the importance of "providing the individual with the necessary ideas, consciousness and abilities to research the message of Islam. Another concept within the ARABIC education is "widening the horizons of the thinking of the students by acquainting them with various countries of the world… and in attending to the duty of Researching the new method teaching of In order to successfully spread Language, students are taught "… at least one of the living languages in addition to their original language to enable them to acquire knowledge… [to] transmit our knowledge… to other

Vision For The Future:

The Holy Quran states, "Say thou how would those who know would be equal to those who do not know?"  This sound principle exalts the place of knowledge as the ultimate tool for enlightenment and exhorts all human beings to gain knowledge.

The Prophet also said, "The most righteous of people is the one who brings the greater good to the community."  Because of this, the most beneficial of all deeds is one that continues to bear fruit for generations to come.  Waqf (endowment) has been an essential component in the building of Islamic civilization.

Wishing to rekindle and spread the great and noble virtue of learning that has marked the Arab and Muslim worlds in earlier times, WE are establishing

“ SPECIAL RESEARCH CELL & DEPARTMENT RESEARCH MAG.”

It is our desire that this new Research cell become one of the world's great institutions of research; that it educates and train future generations of literature & linguistics and that it foster, on the basis of merit and excellence, collaboration and cooperation with other great research universities and the private sector.
