Our curriculum is designed to develop scholars, judges, lawyers, and legal advisers who are well-versed in both Islamic and comparative legal systems.
At the heart of our mission is the pursuit of justice, equity, and moral integrity. The department plays a critical role in training legal minds who will contribute meaningfully to the legal, social, and ethical advancement of their communities, especially in regions governed by Sharia-based legal systems.
