A word fromthe Managing Director

“Read in the name of your Lord who createdCreated man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood

Read, and your Lord is the most GenerousWho taught by the pen

Taught man that which he knew not.”[Qur’an 96:1-5]

MIU is a project close to my heart and is one that I have contemplated over for many years. Every Muslim desires to study the Science of Islam but not everyone has the ability to travel abroad to study for prolonged periods of �me. Family responsibili�es, work commitments are normally a major obstacle for most people.

The Messenger of Allah ( ) said,صلى اهللا علیھ وسلم

"When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three

things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which

is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for

the deceased)." [Muslim]

Upon discussion with Sheikh Zulfiker Ibrahim, I was asked to assist in providing a solu�on to this problem. A�er much thought and contempla�on I agreed to assist with establishing a Muslim educa�onal establishment of learning catering for the needs of all those who are not able to travel to Muslim lands and study in Islamic ins�tu�ons.


"He who calls others to follow the Right Guidance will have a reward

equal to the reward of those who follow him, without their reward

being diminished in any respect on that account." [Muslim]

The objec�ve was to bring together the professionalism and quality assurance of leading western educa�onal establishments with the teaching curricula of the leading Islamic Universi�es. We believe that we have achieved the intended objec�ve of producing a unique Islamic curriculum in the English language integra�ng the best of bothworlds, and we hope that it is of benefit to all those who thread the path of knowledge through it.

The Prophet ( ) said to 'Ali (May Allah be صــــــــلى اهللا علیھ وســــــــلمpleased with him),

"By Allah, if a single person is guided by Allah through you, it

will be be�er for you than a whole lot of red camels."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

I am delighted that you are considering studying with MIU and I truly believe that if you do, then you will have made a very wise decision. A great deal of work has gone into establishing MIU that you see today, combing tradi�on with innova�on, complemen�ng outstanding teaching and learning with the very best facili�es in beau�ful se�ngsto offer what is, I believe, one of the best environments to study.

Everything we do at MIU is undertaken with our learners as the primary focus, and so the safe suppor�ve environment we have carefully nurtured is geared around helping you achieve your goalsand making the best investment possible in your future. I’m

proud to be part of such a progressive place and I hope you will join us on our con�nuing journey so that we can all grow and achieve our poten�al together.


"Allah makes the way to Jannah easy for him who treads the

path in search of knowledge." [Muslim]

My vision is for MIU to be an excellent teaching-led ins�tu�on that,through the commitment and engagement of our staff, jus�fies the investment that students and others make by engaging with us. We, the MIU, will make a difference for and by our students and graduates. They will be known and respected by all members of society for the �me and dedica�on that they have shown to learn and then disseminate the religion of Islam. A teaching-led ins�tu�on must have a deep and real commitment to knowledge genera�on and exchange through scholarship and research, in its broadest sense, which underpins the curriculum. I envision an educa�onal establishment that adheres to OFQUAL and Ofsted requirements, with qualifica�ons approved and cer�fied by leading Awarding Bodies, standards that meet interna�onal requirements and a team of qualified teachers.

I want MIU to be an award-winning university that relishes and meets the challenges of compe��on. I want us to respond to compe��on with determina�on, commitment and a desire to make a real difference. We must be talked about and recognised for what we do and the difference we make. We must be inspired and inspiring so that we can build the confidence and ability of our students and customers so that they and we can create a real difference for the benefit of society, the economy and our communi�es. I want us to strengthen and grow our many local, na�onal and interna�onal partnerships so that, as a group of like-minded individuals and ins�tu�ons, par�cipa�on is widened and even greater opportuni�es are created for people from all walks of life to experience the transforma�ve power of higher educa�on. The MIU approach to educa�on means more students, studying in a way, in a place and at a pace that suits their needs. Our approach is underpinned by the quality and relevance of the student experience whether it be on campus, at home, in the workplace, at a partner ins�tu�on or elsewhere.

A word from the Dean of Academic Affairs

All praise is due to Allah, Who teacheth by the pen, Teacheth man that which he knew not, May the praise and peace of Allah descend upon the noblest of messengers, the best teacher that the universe has ever known, Mohammed the son of Abdullah, and upon all his family and

companions.

During my many years of involvement with both Islamic Educa�on and Dawah I have come to the realiza�on that there is an intrinsic need for the dissemina�on of the Islamic Sciences in the English medium. I approached various Ulema with this dilemma, a�er airing my concerns to some of the world’s leading Islamic scholars they concluded that it is incumbent that an ins�tute is established to cater for these needs and it is incumbent upon you to ini�ate this task. The ins�tu�on should have its roots firmly grounded in the city of The Prophet upon him be peace, Madinatun-an-Nabawiyyah, and its branches should be in the major ci�es of the west.

With the above in mind I approached one of the world’s leading educa�onalists, Arshad Ashraf who agreed to assist

4

me in my proposal. We formed a team consis�ng of scholars and educa�onalists that are bona fid experts in their respec�ve fields to ini�ate the Madinah Islamic University (MIU). Our aim is to use merge the Islamic Sciences with the most prominent theories of pedagogy and andragogy. With a view to surpassing the quality standards of the world’s premier educa�onal establishments we undertake this magnanimous endeavor.

A university is an ins�tu�on that creates and communicates knowledge and ideas, giving its students and staff the opportunity to build new and be�er futures for themselves and others. These responsibili�es are at the heart of MIU’s mission, and have founda�ons and a life beyond any single strategic plan. The circumstances of our �me and our place affect what is possible. This is a �me when global boundaries to educa�on and research are dissolving and when the movement of people is unprecedented.

My responsibility is to lead the University and define its academic direc�on and strategy and for ensuring that MIU is well managed. It is my great pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to MIU on behalf of the Managing Directors Office. I hope that I am able to provide a good introduc�on to the University and the work we do in this Office.

MIU will be global in the way it constructs its educa�on and research, in the opportuni�es it offers students and staff, and by having a presence in selected ci�es across the globe. Our degree programmes are designed to reflect the diverse needs of our students, the society we live in and the world of work, whilst retaining academic rigour. We are a�rac�ng highly talented applicants whilst retaining our entry standards. We are collabora�ng with a number of universi�es across the globe to harness some of the world’s most advanced thinking inorder to establish MIU as a world leader in Islamic educa�on.

Finally, my sincere thanks goes to those individuals and organisa�ons who have helped us to fund this ambi�ous programme. We look forward to welcoming you to the University and the outstanding educa�onal programmes that we have developed.
