Message from the Chief Executive
Praise be to God, through whose grace good deeds are completed, and may blessings and peace be upon our master Muhammad and his family, who said: "Blessed is the one who acquires knowledge and teaches it." To proceed,
Imam Malik College was established on the beloved land of the Emirates. It was a dream envisioned by Sheikh Zayed and carried out by the generous hands that followed him: the President of the State and his Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the State and Ruler of Dubai, whose unceasing support for the College has been constant. The aim is to prepare building blocks for the outstanding renaissance of the Emirates, with tireless spirits and untiring arms, in the spirit of one team that produces unique innovations marked by excellence in performance and generosity in giving in all fields. These are in harmony with the modern renaissance, rooted in a profound civilisation and an authentic heritage, and they speak with a voice of their own: this is truly the civilisation of Islam, suited to every time and every place, with a modern formulation: "Every occasion has its words, and every era has its states and its men." Indeed, this is truly the modern dawn of the Emirates, which Zayed brought into being and which Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, may God preserve him, has made a reality on the ground, speaking without an interpreter. It remains only for male and female students to exert effort and drink deeply from knowledge, so that each may take his or her place in giving according to their specialisation, contributing with sound judgement to continuing the journey towards outstanding performance and quality of work, and so that they may truly fulfil the testament of Zayed, the hope of Rashid, and the achievement of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, may God preserve him.
Accordingly, the College takes pride in the undergraduate programmes it offers in the two specialisations of Sharia and Law, in response to the requirements of the age and with the aim of achieving the purposes and objectives of the State and society in the United Arab Emirates.
The College has also been keen to establish relations of international cooperation with leading academic institutions around the world, in pursuit of developing knowledge and improving the quality of life for everyone. The College will remain faithful and dedicated to its original mission and to the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, by providing high-quality educational experiences, developing and disseminating knowledge and delivering it to all through research and studies, developing the creative capacity of its graduates, and engaging them in sustainable human development across the United Arab Emirates, as well as in addressing the intractable problems that humanity as a whole faces today.
