About
The AIU Library is a repository centre for knowledge and a hub of information sharing and exchange. It houses a collection of printed and non-printed materials to accommodate the learning, teaching and research needs and activities of the University. It also provides all the necessary services, facilities and infrastructure as well as a conducive environment that promotes learning.
The four-storey library building is constructed in the Safavid style of architectural design. The most interesting and attractive feature of the library is a replica of the Dome of the Rock which is also known as Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah. The Dome of the Rock or Qubbat As-Sakhrah is the crowning glory of the Haram Als-Sharif in Jerusalem and it is the oldest Islamic monument that stands today and certainly one of the most beautiful.
