Why Study Here?

Islam, or people's assumptions about Islam, became very visible in the media and in the world in general. In addition to this, the growing number of Muslims in the Western societies in recent decades has created the need for better understanding of Muslims and their beliefs in order to create a well-balanced environment conducive to racial and ethnic harmony. Therefore, Islamic Studies has become a subject of strategic importance in our multicultural society. The students of today, if properly taught, will become the teachers of the future with a vision for multiculturalism and peaceful co-existence.

The department trains its students in all the major areas of Islamic disciplines. All the courses pertaining to Islamic learning are taught and imparted from the original sources to deliver the first-hand knowledge of Islam to the students. In pursuit of the university vision and mission, the faculty members of the department have a great emphasis on the students’ ethical grooming and character building based on the Islamic ethical system and moral values, which makes Ghazi University a unique institution.
