Director’s Message
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Almighty God for His guidance and generosity, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
The human mind, when rightly employed, has the power to liberate individuals from ignorance and darkness and to lead them toward an enlightened world of knowledge and technology.
Knowledge is closely tied to the mind, as it has been wisely said: “Abundant knowledge without conscience can only bring ruin to the soul .” It has also been said that “Knowledge has its merits, and no one knows the extent of those merits’’.
In this spirit, we pray that our students take full advantage of their academic journey, expanding their knowledge, developing their capacity for constructive work, proper guidance, and positive contribution. We also pray for our esteemed professors as they carry out their noble teaching and mentoring mission, and for the staff and employees of the Institute who, through their dedication, help to provide the academic environment needed to achieve goals and overcome challenges.
At the same time, I urge all members of our academic and administrative community to devote their fullest energy and commitment to the development of our Institute and to raising it to the standing of internationally recognized institutions of science and technology.
