Islamic University of Madinah

(Redirected from Medina University)

The Islamic University of Madinah (Arabic: الجامعة الإسلامية بالمدينة المنورة) is a public Islamic university in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Established by King Saud bin Abdulaziz in 1961,[1] the institute is said to have been associated with Salafism, while claiming to have exported Salafi-inclined theologians around the world.[2][3][4][5][6] Others disagree and state that the institution is objective and scientific, being detached to any singular ideology.[7] It received institutional academic accreditation without exceptions from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment in April 2017.[8]
