Department head’s speech
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
Welcome to the Department of the Prophetic Sunnah and Its Sciences at the Islamic University of Minnesota – Main Campus.
It is our pleasure to extend a warm welcome to our dear students and esteemed researchers in this academic institution, which is dedicated to the study of the noble Prophetic biography, the Hadith, and their authentic sciences—forming the second primary source of Islamic legislation after the Book of Allah, the Almighty.
In our department, we strive to provide a distinguished educational and research environment founded upon rigorous scholarly principles, enabling our students to comprehend the sciences of the Sunnah through understanding, memorization, and application.
The department is home to a select 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 message of mercy.
We firmly believe that the Sunnah of the Prophet is not merely a collection of texts to be memorized, but rather a way of life to be followed, a profound understanding of religion to be derived, and an upright model of conduct to be emulated.
Accordingly, our academic programs are designed to equip students with the necessary skills for critical scholarly research, jurisprudential comparison, and textual analysis, ultimately enabling them to extract rulings and lessons that address the needs of contemporary society.
We wish all our students a fruitful educational journey filled with success and accomplishment, and we pray that this stage will be the beginning of a lifetime of service to Islam and the Muslim community.
