Faculty of Education / Department of Islamic Studies

The Department of Islamic Studies in the Faculty of Education was first established in1991 as a response to the university's mission to promote the Islamic Culture in its Education system. In addition to the need for specialized teachers in subjects of Islamic religion who can give a clear image of the Islamic thoughts especially because of the deficiency in understanding the dimensions of the Islamic religion.

The Department of Islamic Studies teaches many courses such as Quran 1, Studies in Doctrine, Studies in Hadith, Quran 2, Studies in Islamic Faith, Quran 3, Studies in Science and Interpretation of the Quran. It also teaches all major courses for students specialized in Islamic Education and Teaching Methods.
