Overview
Al‑Eman University (also known as Al‑Iman University is a private Islamic educational institution founded in Sana’a, Yemen in 1993–1994 by Sheikh Abdul‑Majid al‑Zindani. Originally created to combine traditional Islamic scholarship with modern professional studies, it became known for its intensive emphasis on Quranic memorization, Islamic sciences, media and dawah training, alongside more conventional academic offerings. The university gained attention for offering tuition‑free education: students were expected to memorize at least five jut’ of the Quran and participate in community outreach activities alongside formal study, all supported by charitable funding rather than student fees.
