The General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy Mosques has announced the opening of admissions and registration at the College of the Prophet's Mosque, providing a unique opportunity for those wishing to study Islamic sciences from their authentic source. This step comes as part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's efforts to promote Islamic knowledge and disseminate learning. The college offers a comprehensive online service for high school graduates to pursue university studies in various Islamic disciplines, with a notable advantage being that there is no age limit for applicants.
A scientific legacy spanning the ages
Since its founding by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Prophet's Mosque has been a beacon of knowledge and scholarship. It served as the first university in Islamic history, hosting scholarly circles and lessons from which the most eminent Companions and their Successors benefited. Throughout the ages, the Prophet's Mosque has remained a vital center of religious learning, attracting students from all over the world. Today, the College of the Prophet's Mosque is an extension of this great historical legacy, working to train scholars and preachers specializing in Islamic sciences according to a rigorous academic curriculum that combines tradition and modernity, drawing inspiration from the spirituality of the place and the depth of its history.
The importance of the college and its scientific and advocacy impact
Studying at the College of the Prophet's Mosque holds special significance at the local, regional, and international levels. Locally, the college contributes to preparing qualified national cadres to serve the community in the fields of leading prayers, delivering sermons, teaching, and guidance. Regionally and internationally, the college attracts students from various countries across the Islamic world, making it a bridge for scientific and cultural exchange among Muslim peoples. Its graduates contribute to spreading the tolerant and moderate message of Islam in their societies, armed with a sound and authentic Islamic knowledge acquired in the holiest of places. The decision to waive the age requirement expands the pool of beneficiaries and provides an opportunity for those who missed the chance for university education at a young age to complete their academic journey.
