Islamic American University

The Islamic American University is an institution for education, training, Da'wa and studies in the fields of Islamic Shari'a, its fundamentals, linguistics, and sciences.

IAU has grown from a project of the Muslim American Society, the nation's largest grass root organization for Islamic work. IAU is specializing in the Islamic education of working adults, muslim American youth, and new muslims by offering degree programs that are highly relevant and accessible.

IAU aims at grooming distinguished scholars, activists, leaders, and teachers who are well-rounded in Islam as well as in the different facets of American life. The IAU board of trustees is headed by internationally renowned scholars such as Sheikh Yusuf al-Qardawi who serves as chairman and Dr. Jamal Badawi who serves as vice chairman.

IAU aspires to achieve national and international prominence for its research and educational contributions. We hope that the establishment of the IAU would be received with acceptance from the Muslim community at large and a number of students would seek admission. Also we hope that Muslims would support such an ambitious endeavor with financial support, with donations, specific endowments, or scholarships. Your expertise in any educational field and your input are crucial for the success of this project. Lastly, but not least, we hope that you remember us in your prayers and extend your advice to us.
