Chairman's Message
Assalamu Alaikum,
Welcome to the Department of Islamic Studies at Uttara University. There are only a few universities in Bangladesh that offer Islamic Studies. The Department of Islamic Studies at Uttara University is one of the earliest departments to be established. It started its journey in 2003 with a mission to provide advanced knowledge in various aspects of Islam, including theology, Economics, Banking, jurisprudence, history, contemporary issues, and spirituality.
The Bachelor of Arts Honors program and Master’s program in Islamic Studies aim to present Islam as a comprehensive way of life based on the revealed knowledge of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. According to the Qur'an and Sunnah's teachings and practical guidance, the OBE curriculum is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of how human life develops.
The world is currently facing numerous challenges in various aspects of life. Many people struggle to understand the values, ideals, and morality presented in the sacred Quran and the teachings of the prophet Muhammad SAW. Islamic Studies helps to provide a deeper understanding of the broad spectrum of social and cultural diversity across humanity. In addition, the Department of Islamic Studies offers a wide range of opportunities to serve every nation in various fields.
Additionally, Graduates from the program help to ensure that a plurality of approaches to Islamic civilization is available to the students of today and tomorrow. Islamic Studies can be applied to a wide range of professions, including education, government, media, business, and others. Therefore, it is an invaluable subject that everyone should study.
