Islamic Online University (IOU) is pleased to announce the initiative of the world’s first tuition-free Arabic Master’s degree in Islamic Studies program (Arabic MAIS). 

It will be taught exclusively online and in the Arabic language as the mode of instruction.

The first Islamic university of its kind, IOU continues to break down barriers to education and is always at the ready to offer new courses to fulfill the needs of students.

We ask our Muslim brothers and sisters to use this golden opportunity wisely to earn Allah’s pleasure while helping to spread the message of Islam to even the darkest areas of the globe. 

Ever since its’ inception, Dr. Bilal Philips and the Islamic Online University Team have worked tirelessly to provide tuition-free degrees to anyone who desired to earn one. 

We are striving to design a program that provides easily understandable study materials in Arabic that will facilitate students on their journey to mastering the Noble Quran in Arabic.

It will give BA students the privileged opportunity to learn the Noble Quran in the pure Arabic language in which it was delivered through our Messenger (sallahu alhai wa salam). Students who join our Arabic MAIS program will benefit greatly from having the knowledge of the Noble Quran in their hearts and the ability to use their hands to teach it to others. 

It will also help our students when seeking positions in the Muslim world, where possessing knowledge of the Noble Quran in Arabic is a precious asset that will outshine whatever else is on their résumés. 

The IOU has already put the plan in motion to launch the Arabic MAIS as soon as possible.

We are striving to design a program that provides easily understandable study materials in Arabic that will facilitate students on their journey to mastering the Noble Quran in Arabic.

However, we must turn to our Muslim brethren in faith to please help fund this most noble initiative.  By the Will and Mercy of Allah, we will use all of the funds donated to implement the Arabic MAIS program and take measures to ensure that it is a valuable resource for students all across the globe who seek to learn the Noble Quran in Arabic and carry on the message of our Creator far and wide.
