History
Omdurman Islamic University used to be called Omdurman Scientific Institute. The Omdurman Scientific Institute is the first private scientific institute established in modern Sudan, and many prominent Sudanese scholars and personalities have graduated from it. Sudanese scholars asked the colonial government at the time to establish the Omdurman Scientific Institute, and it agreed and established the institute in 1912, as a response to foreign education.[4] The institute represents the beginning of regular religious education in Sudan, which adopted the Al-Azhar system. The scientific institute developed in the mid-sixties of the twentieth century to later become Omdurman Islamic University in 1965.
