Located in Cairo, Egypt, it is one of the oldest universities in the world. It was founded in 970. Its official name is Al-Azhar University. It originally originated as a Shiite mosque, and even today it reigns as a central presence in the Arab world in Islamic studies. In the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was under British and French rule, the university was modernized, and in 1936 it was reorganized into three faculties: law, theology, and Arabic linguistics. In 1961, it was incorporated into one of the national universities by the "Al-Azhar University Reorganization Law." As of 1999, it has become a large-scale comprehensive university with eight faculties (Islamic Theology, Islamic Law, Arabic Studies, Engineering, Medicine, Commerce, Agriculture, and Science), as well as the Advanced Institute of Language and Translation, the Arabic and Islamic Advanced Institute, and the Islamic Women's College. It has about 6,000 faculty members and 155,000 students. All Egyptian universities are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Higher Education, which was established in 1961, but the Islamic Law and Theology faculties of this university have their own autonomy. Even after being reorganized into a modern university, the university's goal is to inherit, develop and disseminate Islamic heritage and to revive the Arab world. There are many international students from Islamic countries. [Toru Magose] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
エジプトのカイロにある世界最古の大学の一つ。創立は970年。正式名称はアル・アズハル大学。もともとシーア派のモスクに起源をもち、現在もイスラム研究の中心的存在としてアラブ世界に君臨している。英仏の支配下にあった18、19世紀に大学の近代化が図られ、1936年には法学、神学、アラビア語学の3学部に再編された。1961年「アズハル大学改組法」により国立大学の一つに組み込まれた。1999年現在、8学部(イスラム神学、イスラム法学、アラブ研究、工学、医学、商学、農学、理学)に加えて、言語翻訳高等研究所、アラブ・イスラム高等研究所、イスラム女子カレッジを擁する大規模な総合大学となっている。教員数約6000人、学生数約15万5000人を数える。エジプトのすべての大学は1961年に設立された高等教育省の管轄下にあるが、この大学のイスラム法学部やイスラム神学部は独自の自治権をもつ。近代的大学に改編されてもなおイスラムの遺産を継承、発展、普及させ、アラブ世界を再興することを目的としている。イスラム圏からの留学生も多い。 [馬越 徹] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
