Effat University

Effat University believes that the future of the nation lies in the divine act of reading as expressed in the Holy Quran. The verb IQRA, “read,” transformed a nation which favored the oral transmission of culture and the lyrical expression of ideas into a nation that produced a formidable number of written manuscripts.  Effat University maintains that its future prospects reside in reviving this important part of the divine inspiration, reading, and in increasing comprehensive human knowledge in order to provide the nation with an infusion of new blood and guide it towards enlightenment.
