Al-Azhar University to open branches in Afghanistan

[Zarawar]

The Egypt-based Al-Azhar University would open its branches in Nangarhar and Herat province of Afghanistan and award 200 scholarships to Afghan students every year, an official said on Monday.

Speaking to Pajhwok Afghan News, a spokesman for the Department of Education in Nangarhar, Gul Agha Ahmadi, said the promise was held out to Education Minister Dr. Ghulam Farooq Wardak during his recent visit to Egypt.

A 1000-year-old university, Al-Azhar is considered the largest centre of Islamic teachings in the Muslim world. Students from different countries are acquiring education at the university.

Ahmadi said Egyptian authorities had promised they would provide 200 scholarships to Afghan students every year. Earlier, he added, the university was giving only 25 scholarships to Afghan students.

Azhar lost it's status in the ummah. Today the scholars of Azhar endorse the wall in Ghaza to prevent Palestinians to bypass the Israeli posed embargo. Their scholars meet and shake hands with Jewish president. And they attack women for wearing Niqab. Oh and Obama is allowed to go there and give speeches.

AL Azhar is today Al Zahr! It is a poisonous institution that strives to subdue Muslims to Israeli-American forces.

My sister studied at alfath universsity in syria damishq, its excellent mashallah. after receiving a degree shes now fluent in arabic(classical and mashallah people have praised her- as in scholars from other universities in the middle east. alfath student usually have to write their final exams at azhar in egypt. according to my sis the egypt exams and cirriculum is so much easier than alfath.shes been to jordan too(al zarqaa and said syrian cirriculum was better in her opinion(sat in on lectures) . She was also able to do her ijaza hifthan part time and alhamdolillah knows 10 modes of recitation now.

in short i think syria is a really good choice if u go to alfath. oh and before u go to alfath u can enroll in a ma'had(institute to learn arabic) in order to be able to read and understand arabic. you will need to do some exam before entering uni.

in egypt u have to pass their primary school and hi school first which i think i so unnecessary!!!!!!!

and incase u wanna ask, al fath is totally sunni!

May I ask dear friends here, which university is the real islamic university? I mean for delivering Islamic philosophy and knowledge of Quran and Haidth and after this Fiqqah as well.

that is not tied to any particular university. It is the methodology that matters. Suppose you study at the local mosque in your village. And the teacher has the right methodology. Then you are better off there than some fancy shmancy university where the methodology of teaching Islam is based on innovation, deviance and ignorance.

The right methodology is the methodology of the pious predecessors. The companions of the prophet muhammad saww, and great scholars such as Imam Shafi'i, Abu Haneefah, Ibn Hanbal, Imaam Malik etc.

They would study the entire Quran and rely on most authentic narrations.

They did not use Greek Philosophy or Hinduism to innovate and create new deviant ideologies that are not supported by Quran and hadith.
