You're asking if it's true Al-Azhar is power gila?
Well, it is true that Al-Azhar is the 2nd oldest university in the world, but it only became a full-fledged university in 1967. As a comparison, UM became a full university in 1948, then re-established after the split of Singapore in 1962.
But yes, there's a massive tradition that is one of the pillars of Al-Azhar. It's not just about the publications or research, it is also about the prestige and the character of the students. They don't let any person study and graduate from Al-Azhar, which means the graduates will always have a certain degree of prestige.
Nowadays, local unis play the ranking game. So IPTAs pump a lot of money and effort into fulfilling the ranking requirements, and less emphasis on things that Al-Azhar concentrates on. Because of this, Al-Azhar is ranked at 1201-1400, while UM is at #65 (based on QS world ranking).
ahh i see. if not mistaken they have to memorize the holy book etc rite?
thanks for clarifying, now i know why it is highly regarded.
ironically,
the person i know who grad from al azhar/ ain shams, i suspect is Life's Good, Blue Tooth (acronym)
the way he acts and flirts openly with guys, and is single despite being goodlooking, and abit lembut ...
of course this is the only person i know so i shoudlnt generalize
