The PhD program in \u201cArabic Language and Literature\u201d is a comprehensive educational package in line with the regulations and decisions made by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology of Iran. Specialized education is offered in Arabic language and literature. Those interested in studying Arabic Language and Literature must have a related master’s degree. Students with unrelated prior education are required to pass the prerequisites according to the regulations.<\/p>\n
All resources of Islamic sciences and religious scriptures are in Arabic. It is not possible to obtain different dimensions of Islamic culture and religious knowledge except through specialized understanding of this language. On the other hand, the most important means of transmitting different aspects of Islamic culture is through written works, which are often in Arabic. Therefore, in order to communicate and interact between Islamic cultures and nations, it is necessary to train high-level experts for this purpose.<\/p>\n
The graduates of this program can teach at academic and research institutes in addition to translation and propagation of Islam. They can be actively involved in responding to religious doubts in the Islamic world. Also, they will be able to play an important role in the flourishing of Islamic sciences and will contribute to the growth and development of related sciences such as jurisprudence, Quranic exegesis, theology, and philosophy.<\/p>\n
