Assalaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,
I have just finished a complete update of the blog, including updating and checking the information on all of the pages, a redesign of the site in general, and what I hope is an improved way of organising the information. A lot of old information has been removed or updated, and I have started a serious attempt to include other universities as part of the blog.
There are loads of changes to the actual WordPress options, including limiting the number of posts on the front page, and new comments appearing at the top of the list of comments, instead of the bottom, which should help for pages which have hundreds of comments.
If I am missing anything, or have inadvertently deleted something really important, please let me know!
The only thing left to do now is to answer all of those comments!!
Baarak Allahu feekum,

Asalaamu Alaykum… I though i would got accepted on the 2010/2011 but my name was not on the list…. Is there any other chance of my name being on the accepted students for 2010/2011 after Ramadhan like before December?
If you applied the university 12th July 2010 then u need to wait until august 2011 to be accepted and Inshallah you will be accepted and I hope to be accepted too, I applied september 2010.
As salaamu aleykum
It seems like the list is out for 2010/2011 to University of Madinah.
But its not like they said that it would be 4 fold increase in acceptance…?http://admission.iu.edu.sa/IuAbroadInquery.aspx
Asalaamu Alaykum brother… Alhamdulillah I went for Umrah on the 12th July 2010 and I have applied for Madinah Univerisity when I came there… Alhamdulillah I think I passed my interview because they said I might get accepted before Ramadhan or after but I hope so Insha’Allah. They gave me a application number which is 7 numbers where i Can check my inquiry application progress but when I type my application number it says its incorrect number… What can I do now? How will I know I got accepted… Please help me brother Jazakallah Allah.
Assalaamu ‘alaykum akhee,
Just a quick question bro; Suppose I get accepted for this year (inshaa Allaah), what are the steps I would need to take? I mean, what do I do? Where do I go first? Do I go to the saudi embassy? How does one get his flight ticket? etc etc etc…
I apologize If this question has already been asked on this blog, as you seem to have loads of comments here…
May Allaah reward you for all your efforts, ameen.
salamu alikum ahkie,
Ahkie I wanted to know when will the list for Sept 2010 be released.. and I heard they are not acceptin students with somali nationalities even if they live in the west for political reason. Can you please confirm these for me
JAzkallah
In shaa Allah, just before Ramadhaan.
I asked about the Somali students today, and as far as the admissions dept. is concerned, there is no issue with Somali brothers applying, from the West or from Somalia itself. However, these kind of decisions are usually made at a very senior level, sometimes even ministerial level, and it has happened before with countries like Algeria that there have been a number of years in which they have not accepted any student from that country. However, as far as the dept. themselves are concerned, there has been no official announcement that they aren’t accepting students of Somali origin. I understood that last time this decision was made, it was made in Riyadh, not at the university itself.
Allah knows best.

Asalaamualaykum akhee.
I sent you a email recently with my tazkiyahs attached and requested if you could please hand in my application form which I gave previously along with the tazkiyahs for this year as soon as possible.
And also I mentioned that I could help you with the website, nice design and more professionalism as web design is my field.
If you could get back to me inshaAllah. This comment doesnt have to be published.

Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullah,
I got your application (honestly, I haven’t forgotten, it’s just that I’ve gotten very behind in answering questions, and I’m slowly working my way through them, as well as my emails) and in shaa Allah, I’ll have an update for you this week.
In terms of the website design, I kept it using this simple blog type format, since it is really easy for me to maintain. It could definitely use a re-design, but I decided just to change the page layout a bit and change the theme, more for a change of scenery than for anything else
.
I’m open to ideas…
Baarak Allahu feek
Salamualaikum ahki,
Jazakklah for your efforts and May Allah reward you for it…Your blog has been must helpful to me, therefore I just wish to ask one question..for someone lving in Gambia how does one apply to the university because there is not a lot of people applying through it and I wish to know the procedure involved..I’m aware of your tight schedule so inshalah whenever you have a chance please let me no inshalah..Praying for your continuous success..Wasalam.
Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullah,
If there’s not a lot of people applying, it gives you a good chance of getting in, providing that you match the conditions.
The procedure is the same for every country. Take a look at the section of this blog regarding general information about the university, and all of the pages which relate to it, then take a look at the section on applying, and all of the pages in that section. That should give you a really good idea about the documents required and the conditions. Then pray your istakhaarah and make your decision.
Once you know decide to apply, and you get all of your documents together, you can send them to me by email, and I’ll submit them for you, in shaa Allah.
If you have any problems, just post a comment.
May Allah make it easy for you,
Wassalaamu alaykum warahmatullah,

I hope this mail finds you in the best of health and Imaam. Insha Allah
My name is Mohamed and u am 18 years old living in UK Alhamdulillah.
I got your email from someone and that person told me that you are studing in madinah University and it would be a good idea if i could ask you some questions because really i want to study there Insha Allah.
Brother Insha Allah on July 2010 I will be leaving UK to Saudi Arabia for Umrah Insha Allah so i would have a good chance to apply in that university while am there. Brother currently i dont have any GCSE certificate or any certificate because i was abroad from UK in 2008 and came back in 2009 so i missed my chance to do the GCSE final examination Subhanallah.
But Alhamdulillah right now am studing in a college and am doing GCSE so i will get my certificate in August. The problem is i will be leaving UK in July and i will get my certificate in August so i wont be able to bring my certificate but Insha Allah i will bring other Documents that will be needed.
Brother May i ask you if that will be possible and i will be accepted that time on July when i apply. Alhamdulillah by the Grace of Allah i have completed the Quran and right now am doing the second time to become a clear Hafiz.
Brother can you also give me the full details of Madinah University including their telephone number please. Jazakallah Khair. May Allah bless you
Alhamdulillah i really want to study there to have more knowledge of Islam for the Sake of Allah alone.
Waiting for you reply Insha Allah
Asalamu Alaykum
Your brother in Islam

Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,
May Allah make it easy for you.
I can only advise you to bring whatever you have and to try to explain the situation to them, tell them you have finished all of the exams and you are just waiting for your certificate, and that this is your only chance for an interview and you will send your certificate as soon as it arrives. If you have any predicted grades, or a statement of marks from a previous exam, basically whatever you have. Then you can attach the certificate later.
July is almost certainly too late to be accepted for 2010, so you could send me your certificates to hand in when you get them.
I can’t promise you that they will accept your application, but you can only do your best and put your trust in Allah.
I have no idea what the relevant telephone number is, but I’m sure you can find it on their website http://www.iu.edu.sa,
If you need anything, or have any questions, feel free to post a comment,
May Allah make it easy for you,
Wassalaamu alaykum warahmatullah,
Muhammad
