education possible in all branches of knowledge. It scours the entire
world in its recruitment exercises, for it would employ the most

facilities—physical and otherwise—are the envy of other institutions. And
its graduates are among the most sought-after by employers looking for
knowledgeable and skilful professionals who, in addition, are committed to
moral and ethical values. "To be an international centre of educational excellence which integrates Islamic revealed knowledge and values in all disciplines and which aspires to the restoration of the Ummah’s leading role in all branches of knowledge."
