About Department of Arabic Language

Welcome to the Department of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies, a department that combines tradition and modernity. Tradition that is vibrant and connected to the roots of the Arabic language, Islamic studies, and its glorious heritage. Modernity that is new, beneficial, and useful.

The Department of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies was founded in 1996 with the establishment of the Higher Institutes for Teacher Training. In 2005, the college and its departments were affiliated with the university. Hundreds of students have graduated from the department over the years.

Of course, every student in the university is a student in the Department of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies by necessity. The department has taken it upon itself to teach Arabic to all university students, as it is the identity of the state and the nation as a whole, and a distinctive original feature, so we excel. The department also teaches Arabic language courses for specialists who study Arabic as a language, literature, phonology, morphology, syntax, rhetoric, stylistics, modern linguistic sciences, and Islamic studies courses in creed, jurisprudence, worship rulings, border legislations, and narration rules, and others. This is to fulfill a great mission in building the individual, society, and state, and to enable the specialized student to acquire competence and proficiency: linguistic competence in communication, writing, and reading, and cognitive competence in analysis, criticism, elucidation, and explanation. Therefore, the student in this glorious department will obtain the full opportunity to study the etiquette of this blessed language, and the principles of Islamic sciences necessary for his cognitive, emotional, and behavioral formation.

Perhaps one of the highest goals of the department is to graduate specialized teachers who are proficient in Arabic sciences and legal principles, so that they can be active and creative, God willing, in terms of teaching and linguistic correction.
