A Word from Our President
In the name of Allah, praise be to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The pursuit of knowledge is the most valuable of what humans spend their lives and money on, and the angels lay their wings for the seeker of knowledge with satisfaction with what he does, so whoever God has prepared for him the means for seeking knowledge, should thank Allah Almighty. The student of knowledge who Allah the Exalted has granted the honor of seeking knowledge has also been also elevated to a level of servitude as Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “When Allah wishes good for someone, He bestows upon him the understanding of Deen.”
The Prophet ﷺ also said: “And superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like the superiority of the moon over the rest of the celestial bodies. Indeed the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets do not leave behind Dinar or Dirham. The only legacy of the scholars is knowledge, so whoever takes from it, then he has indeed taken the most able share.”
Therefore, if you want to know your position, look at what Allah ﷻ has established you. For these reasons the International Islamic University has been established to provide an easy and affordable academic instruction. The university has acquired accreditation with recognized universities which provides a solid foundation is Sharia sciences to students of knowledge anywhere in the world.
Our intention for IIU is to seek the pleasure of Allah (swt) and He is the Guide to the right path. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon Muhammad ﷺ and his family and companions. Ameen.
- Prof. Ahmed Mansour Sabalek
