In the school year 1982/1983 our department was established with the 
goal to teach comparative fqih and sharia policy courses by applying the
comparison method in an objective manner between fqih sectors and local 
laws especially those implemented in the State of Kuwait.
Our department teaches all academic levels starting from bachelors, 
masters and PHD. Also, it partakes with KU’s College of Law by offering some 
courses for their students along with offering a generic course “Islamic 
Culture” for all students in the university.
Our department contributes along with its peers in KU by participating in 
general activities by hosting and presenting Friday Sermons, Sharia & religious 
training courses, debates, seminars, television, and radio programs to spread 
awareness across the country. Great relations have been built with 
counterpart departments in other universities by exchanging expertise 
through visiting professors, cooperating with the supervision and discussion 
of higher education students’ research.
