Department head’s speech
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
Welcome to the Department of Sunnah and Its Sciences at the Islamic University of Minnesota - Main Center.
We are delighted to greet our dear students and esteemed researchers in this distinguished academic institution, dedicated to the study of the purified Prophetic biography (Sirah), the noble Hadith, and their authentic sciences - the second primary source of Islamic legislation after the Book of Allah Almighty.
In our department, we strive to provide an exceptional educational and research environment grounded in solid academic principles, aiming to enable our students to comprehend, memorize, and apply the sciences of the Sunnah.
The department includes a distinguished group of professors and scholars who devote their efforts to imparting knowledge, deepening understanding, and preparing a generation of preachers and scholars capable of serving Islam and spreading its noble message.
We firmly believe that the Sunnah is not merely a set of texts to be memorized, but a comprehensive way of life to be followed - a profound understanding of religion to be derived, and an upright conduct to be emulated.
Therefore, our academic programs are designed to equip students with the essential skills of critical scientific research, comparative jurisprudence, and textual analysis - enabling them to derive rulings and lessons that serve the needs of our contemporary society.
We wish all our students a fruitful and successful educational journey, and may this stage mark the beginning of a life filled with contribution and service to Islam and the Muslim community.
