jazakhallah walykum assaalam

Answer:

Wa alaykum salaam akhee,

The rule in the University of Al Madinah is that you should be 25 or under to get a chance of being accepted, however there are exceptions to that rule… I have seen brothers over that age who have been accepted so my advice to you is to have tawakkal ala Allah and still apply.

We are entitled to a monthly allowance of 840SAR, which I think works out to about £160. As far as I know all students receive this regardless of their age.

The new term (after this one that has just started 3weeks ago) should begin sometime in September/October I believe.

I read something recently which stats that students may apply for admission in the period between October 23rd and January 20th of each year. However, it is quite possible that you can come outside of these times and still get an interview and Allah knows best.

My advice to you both is to get all your paper work together and make many photocopies of everything and make a lot of Du’a because Allah is capable of doing all things!

I hope this has helped was salaamu alaykum

Salam Alaykum. I just wanted to ask you if it is possible for a woman to study at the university?  Thank you for your time. Salam Alaykum

Answer:

Wa alaykum salaam sister, Jazakillaahu khayran for your inquiry.

There have been talks about the University of Al Madinah opening up a women’s section, but Allah knows best regarding the authenticity. I have heard this from reliable sources and even that it may be open as early as next year. Again, Allah knows best. Keep checking out our blog spot at http://www.almadinahstudents.wordpress.com and we will post anything we hear up inshaAllah.

There are however plenty of institutes you could attend in order to benefit if you can find a way to come here. Please check the blog and encourage your friends to do the same and subscribe. Your suggestions on how we can improve the site are much appreciated.

.

Question:

Salam Alaykum

I have found a University and from what I can gather it looks promising. My father Insh’Allah shall take me Saudia this summer to check things out, the institute is called Umm Al-Qura University, do you know of this uni? What are the conditions for a woman to be there studying if she is not married and her father and brothers are not there?

Sorry again and thank you for your time.

Salam Alaykum

Answer:

Wa alaykum salaam,

Yes I am familiar with this University. It is situated in Makkah MashaAllah. I do not know a lot about it, but I do know it’s a good university. I don’t think a woman can be in Saudi Arabia without a Mahram especially if she is studying! Who is look after her/protect her? Please let your father know if he needs to contact us to feel free to do so inshaAllah.

What types of degrees are available and how long does it take?

.

Question:

What types of degrees are available and for how long?… also, is it only for brothers? and one last thing.. the expenses how much is the tuition ?? plz let me know bro… btw how cum Madina university doesn’t have a official website?? I appreciate ur help bro! Assalamualikum

Answer:

If a student is successful enough to get into the faculty of his choice, he will be studying there for 4 years. There are different faculties here in Al Madinah that you can enter after you have completed the Arabic Language course. They are as follows: Faculty of Islamic Law, Faculty of Hadith, Faculty of Arabic Language, Faculty of the Quran and the Faculty of Dawah.

The university is only for brothers although I have heard that a sisters side will be opening..Allaah knows best. The tuition is absolutely free. They pay for you to come over to Saudi Arabia and they give you an allowance every month. The university has got an official site, but I haven’t found it to be helpful.

Let me know if we can be of any more assistance to you.

Islamically yours,

AlMadinahStudents
