Islamic Studies and Arabic Language

The faculty opened its door on Feb 10^th 1988 with 40 students. so was the case even in the third batch of Oct 1988 to which I belong.

at that time there were 2 departments, namely; dept of Islamic Studies ad department of Arabic and other languages. Here we had Arabic French and English. Later on, German followed and then Swahili. But at the introduction of the latter, those other languages ceased to be housed by FISAL but by FASS.

The faculty has three active departments; dept of Arabic Language, Dept of Islamic Studies and Dept of Shariah. Our courses range from Certificate, Diploma, Bachelors, Masters to PhD.
