Head of Department's Message

An Academic Vision Towards Excellence and Innovation

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Praise be to Allah, who revealed to His servant the Book in a clear Arabic language, and may prayers and peace be upon the best of those who spoke with the letter Ḍād, the bringer of glad tidings and a warner, Muhammad, and upon his pure family. The language of the Noble Qur’an is a profound civilizational heritage, confronting aggressive globalization and rampant exploitation, winds that blow threatening our identity and aiming to uproot it. Hence, the Arabic departments rise as guardians and protectors, with conscious and devoted staff, preserving the blessed and sacred language of the Book and its Prophet, may Allah’s peace be upon him and his family. Inspired by this great responsibility, the Holy Shrine has played its pioneering role through the University of Al-Zahra (peace be upon her). The department – under the guidance of His Eminence Sheikh Al-Karbala’i (may his honor last) – has ensured reinforcement and support, starting with the appointment of the pioneers and encouraging participation, ending with unity of safety, in faith in the people of.

May Allah grant you all success, and we ask Allah to make our department a beacon of knowledge and virtue.
