Department of Islamic Studies

Praise be to Allah , Lord of the Worlds, and the fullest blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

Introduction:

The Department of Islamic Studies stands as a prominent academic pillar within Al Wasl University. Its inception coincided with the establishment of the College of Islamic and Arab Studies during the academic year (1986-1987 AD).

Academic Programs: The department proudly offers three academic programs:

Bachelor’s Program in Islamic Studies, featuring two tracks: Islamic Studies and Family Reform.
Master’s Program in Islamic Studies with a focus on Fiqh and its Fundamentals, which was established in the academic year (1995-1996 AD).
Doctor of Philosophy Program in Islamic Jurisprudence and its Foundations, which was established in the academic year (2004-2005 AD).

The Islamic Studies Program diligently fulfils its mission in alignment with the college’s strategic objectives, guided by the university’s overarching vision. It channels its efforts and resources toward program development, enhancing efficiency, and addressing contemporary challenges and aspirations.

The department is home to a distinguished cadre of qualified scholars proficient in imparting knowledge, fostering development, and staying abreast of academic advancements. Their goal is to enrich both Emirati society and the broader public by nurturing a generation equipped with knowledge, skills, and a profound understanding of Sharia sciences, grounded in moderation to serve as an inspiration for others and set a precedent in constructing a progressive society that harmonizes authenticity with modernity. I pray for God’s blessings on everyone’s success and advancement.
