Head of Department's Message

An Academic Vision Towards Excellence and Innovation

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

It is my pleasure to begin my message by extending my sincere congratulations to all my esteemed male and female colleagues, members of the teaching staff of our distinguished Department, as well as to all Department personnel and female students, on the beginning of a successful and fulfilling academic year. We all aspire to achieve in it what pleases Allah(swt) and fulfils our consciences in contributing to the education of a new generation of our female students, whom we hope will become capable professionals who serve their community and country and fulfil the aspirations placed upon them in advancing and developing our nation. Mathematics is a fundamental discipline underlying all basic, engineering, and medical sciences, in both their theoretical and applied dimensions. Hence the well-known saying that “mathematics is the servant and queen of the sciences.” It serves as the foundation upon which all sciences rely. Mathematics is not taught merely as a collection of abstract theories; rather, it provides effective methods for applications in statistics, decision-making, linear programming, computing, and cryptography. It also enables mathematical researchers to model complex problems that may arise across various sectors and to identify optimal solutions to them. Moreover, mathematics has made significant contributions to all scientific fields through major advances in theoretical concepts and practical applications in areas such as medicine and engineering. With my faith in Allah(swt), I am confident that He will guide my steps and those of my esteemed colleagues as we continue the Department’s journey in advancing the fields of pure, applied, and computational mathematics, which have become increasingly important in today’s world. In conclusion, on my own behalf and on behalf of all my esteemed colleagues, members of the teaching staff of the Department of Mathematics, I commend the continuous efforts and unlimited cooperation of the esteemed Dean of the Faculty in raising the standing of the Faculty among all the University’s faculties. We ask Allah(swt) for success and righteousness in all that serves the best interests of our beloved country.

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