International Islamic University
The International Islamic University, Islamabad (IIUI) is a public research university located in Islamabad, Pakistan. It is one of the world's most prestigious universities for Islamic learning and is considered as one of the three major Islamic universities in the Muslim world alongside the Al-Azhar University in Egypt and the Islamic University of Medina in Saudi Arabia.
The International Islamic University Islamabad has consistently maintained the largest international student body in Pakistan, enrolling thousands of students from more than 50 countries. The university's core focus is on Islamic law, Islamic jurisprudence and theology. The university offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, including doctoral and professional degrees. The degrees offered in other disciplines include Engineering, Computer Science, Natural Sciences, Business Studies, Humanities, Architecture and Law. All of its engineering programmes are accredited under the prestigious Washington Accord (credentials) as well as by the Pakistan Engineering Council.
Times Higher Education has consistently ranked the university first in Pakistan for International Outlook. According to the 2026 QS World University Rankings IIUI has reached the global 101–150 band for Theology, Divinity, and Religious Studies. The university was ranked joint second among Pakistani institutions in the 2022 rankings of Times Higher Education World University Rankings and has been since recognized among the country's leading universities in Engineering, Computer Science, and Business.
The Islamic University was established in Islamabad on 11 November 1980, which corresponded to 1 Muharram 1401 AH, the first day of the 15h-century in the Islamic calendar. This date was chosen to symbolize the beginning of an Islamic renaissance in the modern era. It was reconstituted as the 'International Islamic University' with the promulgation of the International Islamic University Ordinance by President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in March 1985.
The university has two campuses.
The old campus lies about the Faisal Mosque. The mosque was designed by Vedat Dalokay, a Turkish architect. It was donated to the university by King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. The mosque is one of the largest in the world and is able to accommodate tens of thousands of people in its prayer hall, women's gallery and courtyard.
The new campus occupies Islamabad's Sector H-10. The first phase of construction of the new campus was completed in 2013. Since then a campus area for women has been established. In 2006, the construction of the Central Library and the Lincoln Corner was completed.
The university is a center of learning for Islam, theology and the Islamic studies in a contemporary context.
