Islamic University of Madinah
University in Madinah, Saudi Arabia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Islamic University of Madinah (Arabic: اÙجا٠عة اÙإسÙا٠ÙØ© باÙ٠دÙÙØ© اÙÙ ÙÙرة) is a public Islamic university in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Established by King Saud bin Abdulaziz in 1961,[1] This institution is said to have been associated with Salafism, while claiming to have exported Salafi-inclined theologians around the world.[2][3][4][5][6] Others disagree and state that the institution is objective and scientific, being detached to any singular ideology.[7] It received institutional academic accreditation without exceptions from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment in April 2017.[8] Renowned Islamic scholar Maududi was involved in the establishment and management of the university.[9]
