I have the second list for Europe, please see the latest post...
Assalaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,
Some interesting news for you all.
Firstly, there is a second list of accepted students. It came out about a week ago and comprises around 120 students in total, of which I think 29 are from Europe and the US. Unfortunately, the list is not published in its entirety, and the letters haven’t yet been sent out. I can confirm that there is one British student: ‘Abdi Kareem Saaleh, and one American student: Abu Bakr Ahmad Mas’ad (excuse any spelling mistakes), who have both been accepted as part of the ‘second list’. To the best of my knowledge these two are the only two from the US and UK, but like I said, I had to fight a bit to see those names and the list was not complete, so no guarantees. Also congratulations to Buba Sulle Dicko from Cameroon, who was also accepted as part of the second list. Inshaa Allah, I’ll try to get the whole second list by the end of the week.
Secondly, To all of the accepted students from the US. It seems like you are all waiting for a letter to be sent to the embassy, detailing how many years you will be studying and your visa numbers. This information was faxed to the cultural attache on Wednesday night, so the university requests all students to contact the cultural attache and chase this up. I presume that they will forward this information to the embassy, who will then process all of the visas inshaa Allah.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, I just signed up to work for the university in the Dept. of Admissions. This will inshaa Allah, help all of you in two ways. Firstly, I will be able to get information and answers to your questions promptly, since I will be there for at least an hour every day inshaa Allah and develop better contacts with the people who work there. Secondly, my first task will be to revamp the section of the university website which deals with admissions. That means a new fully electronic method of submitting applications (which is already under development), an accurate English translation of the website, and the most important and most frequent questions and comments from this site will inshaa Allah be incorporated into the official site, with the responses checked and signed off by university officials.
This is a chance for all of you to give your feedback and comments.
From the top of my head, these are some things I think we need to focus upon:
- The requirements, conditions, requested documents, and actions that are required from prospective students should be clear at all stages: before submitting documents, when you are accepted, and after you arrive. A google earth ‘map’ of the university wouldn’t be a bad idea for new students.
- The website should contain frequently asked questions based on this blog and others, and a means to effectively communicate with the university electronically.
- Accepted students’ names should be published on the website, even if it is that every student who applies is given a reference and has to enter the reference to find out. It would even be nice if they were informed of their acceptance by email.
Please post some comments with your ideas & suggestions, then I will collate them and present them, inshaa Allah.

AssaIamu alaikum, i am a nigerian, i humbly wish to know if i accepted on the government scholarship. Thanks for understanding.
Assalaamu alaykum warahmatullah,
There was only one name for Nigeria on the second list: Hydeen Muhammad Jamiha.
The rest of the names that came out earlier are posted on the website and the students have already come and started studying.
May Allah make it easy for you,
Wassalaamu alaykum warahmatullah,
Muhammad
Salam alaikum akhi.
May Allah reward you for helping people out.
Akhi you mentioned that when you got accepted your visa didn’t come through. There’s a brother with a similar situation and he’s wondering if you got any tips to speed up the hassle.
1) a student from the uni got the visa number from them -> He called the saudi embassy and they couldn’t find it…he did this a few times -> nothing
2) a student from the uni went to the office and this time they gave him the raqm sijl as well so the embassy could find the visa through that -> the embassy found nothing
3)…now waiting for more solutions 🙂
So, incase you went through something like that, please let me know how it worked out for you.
Wa Allahu yajzika khaira.
Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullah,
I think his visa might have expired – Allah knows best. The expiry date was the end of October or beginning of November, as was mentioned on the acceptance letter.
Last time I was with the person responsible for visas he refused an extension unless there are special circumstances.
I might be wrong…Allah knows best.
Wassalaamu alaykum warahmatullah,
Muhammad
Selamu aleykum wa rahmatullah

Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullah,

والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله

Asalam-Alakum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu,
Brother do you think there are any more names from Canada?
Jazak Allah Khair.
Asalam-Alakum
I still haven’t been able to get any additional information.
The letters should have already been sent out, but I’ll try to get more information next Saturday when the university opens again.
Wassalaamu alaykum,
Muhammad
Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,
I don’t think that there were any more names from Canada, but I’m going to try to get the whole list next Saturday inshaa Allah.
Wassalaamu alaykum warahmatullah,
Muhammad
Asalamulikum
Do you know if any names were published from Canada?
jazakulah
Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullah,
I don’t think so, but I’m going to try to find out more inshaa Allah next Saturday.
Asalamu Aleikum

akhil azîz.. do u know if there was any swedish students on the second list?
barakAllâhufik
Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullah,
I really need to find out more information about the second list. They only let me look at it for a couple of seconds. Inshaa Allah, I’ll try to find out more information when the university starts again on 5th December.
Wassalaamu alaykum,
Muhammad
Assalamu Alaikum
Like brother ‘Nabil’ said:
Brother don’t forget about the brothers from Australia! =D
JazaakAllah khair.
Inshaa Allah!
when is the deadline for 2010/2011 application
Please take a look at the information already on the site, as well as the comments. This question has been answered several times.
In summary, there is no cut off point. There is a quota for each country and once it is filled, applications are considered for the following year.
I was wondering if i send my application before hajj what year will it be counted for?
There is no way to tell officially. As I mentioned to a few brothers, they have a quota for each country. Once the quota is reached, all other applications are considered for the following year. If you sent your application now, it would most likely be considered for 2010, but it depends on a lot of factors.
May Allah make it easy for you,
Wassalaamu alaykum,
Muhammad
Asalamaalaykum
Is the second list out yet?
As far as I can see, they aren’t releasing it as such. It’s only a handful of students and many countries don’t have anyone at all.
They’re just sending letters out to those few students, who should have received them by now, as far as I know.
Assalaamu alaykum,
Any news on the second list for Germany?
InshAllaah please post it up if there is any infomation.
BarakAllaahu Feek
any news so far?
As-salaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuhu
Was anyone from Australia accepted in the second list?
Wassalaamu alaykum warahmatullah,
I didn’t find any students from Australia, but I haven’t been able to look at the list in detail. Those who have been accepted should have already received their letters of acceptance, and as far as I know, they’re starting in January.
Wassalaamu alaykum warahmatullah,
Muhammad
No Akhi, he didn’t. It was his first attempt, furthermore he is 27 yet subhanallah.
Salamu aleykum
I know a brother from Germany who was in Medinah for an interview in July 2009 and got accepted as part of the second list subhanallah
Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullah,
Subhanallah! July 2009? Did he hand in something before that?
Please also post any names from Mauritius
JazakaAllah khair
I will try inshaa Allah.
Any more possible Canadians?
I don’t think so, I’m almost sure there wasn’t because I asked, but I can’t be 100% sure because the list wasn’t in a very clear format.
Assalaamu Alaykum,
I was wondering if you can take a look at my file. I got accepted but I had problems with my visa. Can you please email me to get in touch with me ASAP?
Jazak Allah Khair,
Asalam-Alakum
Wa alaykumussalaam,
I’ll email you now inshaa Allah.
as salamou ‘aleykoum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatouhou
I filed a case to the madinah university in July 2009 and want to know if I am accepted . I’m french , my name is LE PARQUIC FABIEN /ABDALLAH i’m 23 years old
Wa alaykumussalaam warahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,
If you came in July 2009 then you won’t be able to find out until July 2010 inshaa Allah, since your application will be considered for an October 2010 start.
May Allah make it easy for you,
Wassalaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,
Muhammad
wa alaikom asalam wa rahmat Allahi wa barakatu!
Brother don’t forget about the brothers from Australia! =D
JazaakAllah khair.
Masha’Allah TabaarakAllah! Congratulations akhi, this will indeed be a huge benefit to us.
BaarakAllahu Feek.
