International Open University - IOU - Malaysia

International Open University - IOU - Malaysia An affordable institution of higher learning founded by Dr. Bilal Philips that offers accredited degrees, certificates, and diploma courses.

The Islamic Online University (IOU) is the brainchild of Dr. Bilal Philips. He envisioned an institution that would offer online intensive, undergraduate, and graduate courses in Islamic Studies completely tuition-free. Dr. Bilal Philips, Founder and Dean, Islamic Online University

The IOU was launched in 2007 from Qatar with an offering of completely free diploma courses. Alhamdulillah, although

we began with 1,500 students in 2007, by the end of 2008, the number of registered students tripled, reaching 4,500. And now, as 2010 draws to a close, Allah has blessed the IOU with a student body of over 30,000 students from over 177 different countries. In 2010 the IOU launched the world’s first tuition-free, online Bachelor of Arts in Islamic Studies. This path-breaking initiative utilizes the worldwide presence of the Internet and advanced open source online learning technology to bring low-cost, university level Islamic education within reach of anyone on the planet who has access to a computer and the Internet. Thus the IOU Now has two separate virtual campuses: the degree campus and the diploma campus. Each campus is hosted on its own dedicated server.

You do not have to be standing on the plain of Arafah to benefit from this day. The Prophet ﷺ fasted these days himself. For those not performing Hajj, fasting is one of the greatest acts of worship you can offer in them.

The Day of Arafah fast, the 9th, is specifically described as expiation for the sins of two years: the year before and the year after. That is one day. One fast. Enormous return.

If you can fast all nine, fast all nine. If you can only manage the 9th, do not miss it.

On a Friday, with Jumu'ah ahead of you, this is the easiest and most rewarding act you can do today. No wudu required. No specific time. Just sincerity.

The Prophet ﷺ said the best of your days is Friday, and that increasing salawat on this day is among the most beloved acts to Allah.

Send salawat right now before you scroll further. Then again tonight. Make it a Friday habit.
