Message from the President of the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa

It is with great honour and deep appreciation that I extend a heartfelt welcome to you on behalf of the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa. As a beacon of knowledge and enlightenment founded by the General Secretariat of the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine, our University stands as a testament to the enduring power of education in shaping both minds and societies. Guided by the noble principles of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), we strive to uphold the values of truth, sacrifice, and service to humanity through knowledge, innovation, and moral integrity. The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa proudly advances as a private institution dedicated to fostering intellectual growth and cultivating a generation that carries forward the message of enlightenment and reform.

Since its establishment in 2017, the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa has opened its doors to seekers of knowledge across a wide range of scientific and humanitarian disciplines. Through these diverse academic programmes, we aim to meet the evolving demands of the job market while embracing our responsibility to enhance the educational process through comprehensive quality management. Our vision is to prepare future leaders who embody academic excellence and ethical responsibility—individuals equipped with intellectual depth, creative talent, and the confidence to contribute meaningfully to their communities and professions. To achieve this, the University continues to invest in its academic staff, research infrastructure, modern laboratories, and advanced learning facilities to provide an environment that inspires creativity and innovation.

At the heart of our philosophy lies a clear and unwavering principle that defines our path and purpose: education is a service, not a commodity. In this spirit, we proudly affirm that “Profit is not our goal.” This simple yet profound statement encapsulates the essence of our mission—to serve society through education, to share knowledge and experience, and to instil a culture of volunteerism and civic responsibility. We are devoted to nurturing conscientious citizens who engage in decision-making, uphold integrity, and lead with wisdom and compassion. Our graduates stand out not only for their academic competence but also for their ability to strengthen institutional performance and advance the foundations of public service and ethical leadership.

The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa is also proud of its growing contributions to research and innovation. We continue to produce distinguished academic work and offer professional consultation services, while building fruitful partnerships with renowned universities and research institutions, both within Iraq and internationally. These collaborations enable the exchange of expertise, foster intellectual dialogue, and pave the way towards a brighter and more sustainable future for our nation and beyond.

As part of our commitment to educational equity and social responsibility, the University has adopted policies to support outstanding students by waiving tuition fees for those who achieve high marks in final ministerial examinations. This initiative reflects our belief that excellence should be rewarded and that financial challenges should never stand in the way of academic success. In doing so, we aim to motivate our students, honour their families’ efforts, and reinforce the values of perseverance and achievement.

From this distinguished academic platform, we reaffirm our full commitment to implementing progressive administrative policies that inspire innovation among students, academic staff, and researchers alike. We continuously strive to elevate academic performance, enhance institutional reputation, and strengthen our position among national and international universities. With unwavering determination, we move forward towards our vision of establishing the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa as a global model of academic excellence, moral integrity, and social impact.

We take immense pride in the city of Karbala for embracing this esteemed institution upon its sacred land—a land that has long symbolised sacrifice, knowledge, and enlightenment. We praise Allah for guiding our efforts and sustaining this pursuit of knowledge and excellence.
