Abstract

Universities have been traditionally defined as centers for gaining knowledge, teaching and research. Through their teaching activities, universities offer specialized training for different sectors of the society, as well as the education essential for the development of the personality. The importance of knowledge and learning in Islam as the last divined religion is doubtless through numerous references to Quran, Sunnah (sayings and living habits of Prophet Muhammad) and Hadith (narrations originating from the words and deeds of Prophet Muhammad). Having such strong theoretical framework for knowledge and learning, Muslims were pioneers in knowledge and sciences for centuries.
