It was founded in 1950 as an Islamic seminary by Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ash-Sheikh, the first Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia. It was renamed the College of Sharia in 1953,[1] before becoming a full-fledged university through amalgamations of other colleges and assuming its current name in 1974.[2][3] The university also has overseas presence in Indonesia and Djibouti.
The foundation stone of its current university building was laid on 5 January 1982 during the reign of King Khalid Ibn Abdul-Aziz Al Saud. It was opened in 1990.[4] The university includes 14 colleges, 3 higher institutes, 70 scientific institutes inside the Kingdom, and five institutes outside the Kingdom in Indonesia and Djibouti.[5] It currently has more than 60,000 students and 4,000 faculty members.[6]
