Qatar Faculty of Islamic Studies (QFIS)

QFIS’s Vision
Our vision at QFIS is to become a locus of thought and dialogue that leads research and debate in all that relates to Islam and Muslims, be that contemporary concerns or issues of heritage; and that produces scholars who are strongly‐grounded in Islamic faith, practice, and civilization, and who are open for engaging with all that their civilization produced, and with the wisdom and thought of other civilizations.

QFIS’s Mission
Inspiring thought based on the plurality and tolerance of Islamic Jurisprudence and civilization that enables Muslims, in terms of perception and practice alike, to face contemporary challenges. Our aim is to contribute to our age, rather than separate from it. We take it upon ourselves to make clear the rich, dynamic, and inspiring spirit of our Islamic heritage, to emphasize its tolerance, diversity, and hence, ability to serve all of humanity through infinite paths for dialogue and action.

QFIS’s Objective
QFIS offers several highly competitive scholarships that are designed to attract the best and the brightest graduate students from around the world. Our graduate programs aim to provide you with knowledge and skills based on Islam’s rich legacy as well as its growing contemporary contributions in a variety of academic fields. Scholarship recipients are expected to make valuable contributions to their program of choice and the Faculty more broadly. We believe that this mutual commitment will produce leaders who are grounded in Islamic values of plurality, tolerance and diversity and as such who are able and willing to serve humanity through infinite paths for dialogue and action.
