About Arab Leadership University

Fully online Arabic digital university serving the League of Arab States.

Overview

This MSc is for waqf administrators, zakat-fund staff, and family-foundation officers who already live inside bilingual deeds, beneficiary lists, and boards that mix piety with related-party cash. Arab Leadership University will not appoint you as a mufti or licensed charity auditor. You will map fiduciary files, design beneficiary governance, and write EN+AR reports a family waqf council can minute. Tuition-free online. Capstones use anonymised endowment files from Arab states, not a global-NGO logframe with Islamic vocabulary pasted on. Identity-checked exams sit beside fiduciary memos. You will not claim a mufti seat, licensed audit status, or a United Nations NGO appointment.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
