I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on sharing information about apply to Islamic Universities, tips for those who are applying this summer, and current applicants to share information and those who have connections in saudi to get some up to date information on LI.

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

I think you should take them to the Saudi Embassy in your country they'll do it for you. I'm not sure but if you would like to be entered for the year 2009-2010 you should apply before jan-feb 2009.... as I already said i'n not sure:blind:
No akhi you don't, but as sister ayan said for doing some courses you have to, however if you know the full Qur'aan it will boost you chances by a lot, whatever the subject it.
What kind of places can one study at who is past the age of 25? I'm 25 at the moment, but I would not even be able to go to an Islamic University for at least another year.
Places that are respectable and located in decent areas. I also have a wife, but no kids. I really want to focus on studying the Qur'an. I don't know Arabic at the moment, but I am in the process of learning, insha Allah.
^ I'm not too sure about Saudi...but a good place to start, especially if you want to learn arabic, is Egypt. There are many different insitutes which offer a variety of programmes spanning from a period of a month (intensive) to almost 2 years e.g. ww.fajr.com
does anyone know where i can get the application for Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University? I'll make dua for you every time I make dua for myself who ever gets it for me.
I don't think that there is an online application form for Imaam ibn Saud available for downloading at the moment. However you can write to the University to request an application:
Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University (IMIU)
P.O. Box 5701
Riyaadh 11432
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Or you can call them at:
(01) 258-0000 (from America dial 011-966 first)
Or fax them at:
(01) 259-0271
Or contact a student at the university for additional information at

The age limit is not that strict, specially if your a revert to Islaam, people get accepted in their late 20s so it is always worth a try.
How do I apply? Are you sure about that? I am 26 and don't want to waste my time or get my hopes up. I have a degree in computer science already. I speak no Arabic and only have around a half juz memorized right now; I have to teach everything to myself because I cannot find anyone to help me. What, realistically, are my chances of being accepted?

Salam,
To be frank akhi it all depends which country you come from and what your background is. If you coming from America or UK its going to be alot harder there are many many applicants reverts and people from all backgrounds. being 26 is going to make it harder but if your a revert and your a white brother your chances are far greater bi'ithniallah. But if your coming from a country with very few Muslims then age doesn't really matter that much. I know a brother from the UK who got in without knowing how to read the Mus'haf, so you can kind of see the picture (in my opinion only the best should enter, they should have a only hafid acceptance policey). But getting accepted or not is totally out of your hands, do what you have to do, apply and leave the rest to Allah, keep your day job and don't make a life changing decision to stop doing what your doing based on something which is uncertain.
