Jamiah Naleemiah al Islamiyyah


Dr. Muhammad Ali Syukri, Principal of Jamiah Naleemiah


In front of the Auditorium


Jamiah Naleemiah is the leading Islamic academic institution in Sri Lanka established in 1973 and it fulfills the important need of the Ummah for an integrated system of Islamic education which incorporates Islamic studies along with modern disciplines. The educational objectives, the curriculum and the academic programme has been planned with the objective of producing a band of scholars who have the academic background, intellectual vision, moral training and spiritual strength to provide a dynamic Islamic leadership to the Muslim community. In 1996 it was accorded a membership in the Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World (FUIW).

Alhamdulillah, we had the opportunity to visit the university and had a discussion with the principal, Dr. Muhammad Ali Syukri. We were being explained about the foundation of the university, it's history and achievements, and also it's objectives, vision and mission. Apart from that, we also discussed about Syeikh Yusof al-Makassari and Dr Muhammad Ali is interested in collaborating with GPTD to organize a seminar on Syeikh Yusof al-Makassari.
