The college of Sharia & Islamic Studies was established in the year 1402 AH/ 1982 AD upon the request of the late Emir Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah – May Allah have Mercy on Him – who issued the High Emiri Decree on 10/13/1981. It was founded to be the center of guidance for our youth in Kuwait University and a specialized Islamic Source of Light that beams on those who are interested in furthering the education of Sharia & Islamic Studies among Kuwait and other Islamic countries and regions.
