Fees:
In the heart of Old Cairo and between its alleys, the ancient Al-Azhar Mosque was established to bear the banner of spreading Islamic and Arabic sciences and defending them, and to preserve the heritage of this nation, which is the title of its glory, the image of its existence, and the strength of its life. And he was not disputed.
In the heart of the Al-Azhar Mosque and between its corridors, the College of Islamic and Arabic Studies for Boys was established in Cairo to carry this banner. As the college plays the role of the ancient Al-Azhar mosque, it is in Arabic sciences a university for its differentiation in its sciences and literature, bearing the banner of linguistics, raising the banner of the origins of language, showing the miraculousness of the Qur’an and its eloquence. A sign, and the approach of its scholars in it is clear and straightforward, and in the honorable hadith it is a preserver and collector of its sciences, and in the creed it is a protector of the correct creed as it was mentioned in the Noble Qur’an. A manifestation of the Muslim sects, what appeared from them and what was absent in the hidden, committed in that to the central Al-Azhar thought, which is neither excessive nor negligent. And on Al-Azhar’s moderate curriculum, a doctrine, law, and behavior according to what they learned from the Noble Qur’an, and what they understood from the Prophet (pbuh), and what they understood from what was reported from the honorable companions and those who followed them in goodness, may God be pleased with them all.
