Based on a close study of three leading Muslim universities, their structures, ideational orientations, syllabi and alumni and their national and global outreach, this three-part volume allows readers to go beyond a rather singular focus on madrasah education. Benefiting from some fieldwork and by utilising institutional publications, this study of al-Madinah University (IUM) in Saudi Arabia, Qorn’s al-Mustafa (MIU) and Cairo’s al-Azhar, this volume offers a searchlight on their varying roles across the Muslim counties and communities.'
