Qassim University

The College of Sharia and Theology was established in AY1976-1977 under a different name. On its inauguration, it was part of the Islamic University of Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud. After a series of changes in affiliation, it became one of the colleges of Qassim University.

Today, the College of Sharia and Theology is one of the most effective colleges of the University. The college produces many graduates who eventually go on to become professionals in various fields of Islamic law. Professions include judges, assistants judges, legal investigators, attorneys, legal consultants, justice clerks and exaction clerks as well as teachers and officials working in da‘wah (Islamic propagation) and iftaa’ (Islamic guidance and education). The college also produces individual graduates who are well versed in Islamic Creed, Quran Studies and Sunnah Studies (Prophetic Studies). Many of these students go on to work in areas such as da‘wah, education and hisba (combating vice). The college has two principal departments, Islamic Law and Religious Fundamentals.

The vision of the college is to reach the ranks of the distinguished colleges in achieving paramount degrees of quality and academic accreditation. As well, we aim at utilizing the most recent teaching methods to graduate specialists who are equipped with different kinds of knowledge and ranking the best religious employments in the society.

The mission of the college is to take part in teaching the religious science as well as working on preparing a generation who will be proud of its religion, civilization, and belonging to the homeland. Further, we aim to graduate specialists who will be able to participate in serving the nation and society.
