The New Islamic University of Damascus
Our mission this Ramadan is to start a larger effort to create an academic foundation that nurtures future scholars, drawing on both the Levant's rich intellectual heritage and the knowledge gained by the Syrian diaspora.
Join us on this journey
This Ramadan in Damascus program is a pilot initiative and the first of its kind, designed to blend spiritual enrichment, cultural exploration, and academic revival in the world’s most historic city.
We aim to follow it with a month-long summer school in 2025, offering deeper academic engagement, as well as an Arabic language institute and other tourism initiatives that explore Syria’s spiritual and historical significance.
This is part of a broader mission to support postwar Syria, reconnect Syrians with the Muslim world, and foster collaboration with the global Muslim diaspora.
