Libya (Asmarya Islamic University) About AIU
Foundation of AIU The Atheneum of Sheikh Abd al-Salam al-Asmar in the city of Zliten witnessed the birth of Alasmarya Islamic University. This was not a coincidence but an appreciation of the civilized and scientific role played by this educational institution in Libyan society. There is no doubt that the existence of the historical legacy of this educational institution for more than five centuries was an essential element in its path and is not only a facilitator of the process of transformation and development but also accelerates the pace toward achieving that goal. As we find this in the establishment of the University by Resolution No. 257 of (1415 AH – 1995 AD) by the Council of Ministers (formerly the General People’s Committee) establishing the Alasmarya University for Islamic Sciences. It shall have a legal entity and independent financial responsibility. It shall be affiliated with the Ministry of Education (formerly the General People’s Committee for Education and Scientific Research), concerned with religious education and the revival of Islamic heritage within the framework of university education. It also supervises religious education in religious institutions and secondary schools of Sharia sciences. The amendment to the naming of the Alasmarya University of Islamic Sciences came under Cabinet Resolution No. (444) of 2013 AD issued on Ramadan 29, 1434 AH (7/8/2013 AD) with “stating some provisions regarding Alasmarya University of Islamic Sciences,” which included “Amendment of the university’s naming Alasmariya for Islamic Sciences, so that it becomes, under the new name (Alasmarya Islamic University) AIU.
