The foundation of the Islamic University, Islamabad was laid on the first day of the fifteenth century Hijrah i.e. Muharram 1, 1401 (November 11,1980). This landmark of the beginning of the new Century symbolizes the aspirations and hopes of the Muslim Ummah for an Islamic renaissance. The university was created to produce scholars and practitioners who are imbued with Islamic ideology, whose c...haracter and personality conforms to the teachings of Islam, and who are capable to cater to the economic, social, political, technological and intellectual needs of the Muslim Ummah. Islamic Research Institute and few other units like Iqbal International Institute for Research & Dialogue, Dawah Academy, Shariah Academy and Institute of Professional Development are situated within the premises of majestic Faisal Mosque (spread over an area of 189,705 square meters) which is a symbol of International Islamic brotherhood and unity. In conformance with the Islamic precepts, the university provides academic services to men and women through separate campuses for each segment. These campuses, along with the central library, administrative wing and hostels, are located in sector H-10.
To provide every opportunity for an all round and harmonious development of individuals and society and reconstruction of human thought in all its forms on the foundations of Islam in order to encourage and promote education, training the research in Islamic learning, social, natural, applied and communication sciences and other branches of learning to ensure the Muslim Ummah’s ideological, moral, intellectual, social, economic and technological development in accordance with the values, ideals, principles and norms of Islam.
To optimize integration and Islamization of the contemporary knowledge and human thought in international perspective through established institutions and academic endeavors to achieve excellence in all branches of knowledge.
We, in the International Islamic University, Islamabad, consider ourselves privileged to be associated with this unique centre of learning in the Muslim world which strives to combine the essentials of the Islamic faith with the best of modern knowledge.
It is our good fortune that with a faculty comprising scholars from many other Muslim countries of the world and from Pakistan itself, we perform the task of producing young Muslim men and women, graduates, post-graduates and PhDs, armed with confidence in themselves and in their Islamic heritage, to face the problems of a fast progressing world.
The IIU web portal is meant to lay before the youth, the academicians, scholars and the enlightened public of Pakistan the aims and objects of the International Islamic University along with the range and scope of the disciplines it offers. As you will see, the International Islamic University is not a glorified deeni madressah as some people think it to be, but an institution in the best traditions of learning among Muslims. These noble traditions have taught us that, for to be properly educated, they must be fully acquainted with the principles of their faith as well as prepared and trained to pursue a profession in the secular field of their choice, whether it is science and technology or computers or business administration or languages or any other.
International Islamic University, Islamabad, is in the process of embarking on a new phase in the history of the University. We are busy in making preparations for an expansion plan both in terms of education as well as in terms of physical development. A couple of years back the University has shifted to its new campus in Sector H-10 of Islamabad. The vast and beautiful area allocated to the International Islamic University by the Government of Pakistan provides almost unlimited opportunities for expansion and diversification for the next 25 years. The University was established in 1980 to commemorate the dawn of the 15th century of Hijrah. The new century was considered by many in the Muslim World to be the beginning of new era of unity, development, progress and reconstruction of institutions of the Muslims. The University seeks to promote this very objective at the intellectual plane. According to the Ordinance that brought it into being, the University aims at providing for all round and harmonious development of individuals and the society and to reconstruct human thought in all its forms on the foundation of Islam.
The hallmark of the University’s educational philosophy is the integration of Islamic knowledge with contemporary intellectual achievements. The courses and Islamic programmes designed by the University during the last 25 years reflect the thinking and aspirations of Muslim educationists, thinkers and leaders of Islamic revivalism who guided the Muslim Ummah during the last century. In a way, the International Islamic University is a combination of the academic and intellectual traditions set by the Aligarh Muslim University, the Darul Ulum of Deoband and the Nadwat-ul-Ulama in addition to other rich academic traditions of the Sub-continent. Thus, we aim at producing profound Islamic jurists, enlightened Islamic scholars, competent economists, professional business executives, articulate litterateurs and perceptive thinkers, with an Islamic perspective on the one hand and professionalism and depth of knowledge on the other.
We have endeavored in this University to set certain standards and succeeded. For example, our examinations are never postponed, results are always declared according to the announced schedule; studies are never disrupted by any disorder; admissions are always on merit and nobody has had cause to complain otherwise; and many other good practices that should be the hallmark of any University.
