The \u201cFaculty of Islamic Denominations\u201d began admitting students at the Master\u2019s level in 2005and, in terms of its establishment, is considered one of the first three faculties of the University of Religions and Denominations. The faculty focuses on the study of Islamic denominations from three principal dimensions: historical, jurisprudential, and theological.<\/p>\n
\n
The primary mission of the faculty is to intellectually prepare students to develop a deeper and more empathetic understanding of the followers of various Islamic denominations. One of the most important objectives of the faculty is to educate students in such a way that, in addition to acquiring theoretical knowledge of the doctrines and teachings of various Islamic denominations, they internalize intellectual and spiritual harmony with the followers of other Islamic denominations. Through scholarly articles and academic theses, graduates of this Faculty conduct research that can contribute significantly to presenting new perspectives on the teachings of Islamic denominations. Consequently, by the end of their studies, researchers are trained who are capable of strengthening religious thought, deepening the teachings of their own particular denomination, and fostering a creative spirit in cultural fields related to inter\u2011denominational dialogue and global peace among different Islamic denominations.<\/p>\n
\n
Graduates of this Faculty, in addition to teaching courses related to Islamic denominations as faculty members or adjunct lecturers, may engage in research in various Islamic traditions, whether jurisprudential or theological. They can also serve as knowledgeable specialists in Islamic denominations, playing an active role in establishing communication and dialogue with scholars and followers of different Islamic traditions.<\/p>\n
