The university’s vision and mission are dedicated to promoting excellence in all areas, including academic curricula and extracurricular activities. Among the most important initiatives is the study and preservation of the Holy Quran, which encompasses memorization, recitation, and tajwīd (rules of pronunciation). To support this, the university established Dar Al-Quran, designed to make the study and recitation of the Quran accessible through a structured scholarly approach that nurtures a love for learning and memorization.
The program’s goal is to graduate certified female memorizers with expertise in Quran memorization, demonstrating precision and mastery. These graduates will be connected through an authentic chain of transmission (Isnād) that traces back to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
