In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the merciful

 ”My success lies with Allah, on Him do I rely and to Him do I refer” Hud:88

By the commencing of the academic year 1999-2000 Majdalawi Educational Institute will have become 40 years old through which it will have created (made) a history linked together with the history of the development of Higher Education in Jordan and Arab World at the second half of the 20^th century.

We felt the importance of our role in serving university students of Distance Education when the conference of the American, Canadian and British universities was held on Sep., 1985 at the University of Hull in England. It was mentioned there that (a unique formula of educational business is discovered in the middle East called Majdalawi Educational Institute which took care and served thousands of students of Distance Education who obtained their university degrees from fully accredited universities.

The Globalization which is considered as a great characteristic feature of the 21^st Century assures that Majdalawi has a positive portion by shortening the distances and connecting most of the universities of the five continents to be available for regular and irregular Arab students who are seeking university studies. This has been done by Majdalawi who challenged all difficulties and hindrances which faced the development of Higher Education in the Arab world and in particular the Distance Education which we were its pioneers in the world after the Japanese Open University being established in 1958.

It is true to say that , since 1960 until today, the successful business of Majdalawi has lead the educational authorities concerned all over the universe to accept, approve and adopt the Distance Education and work hard to establish more open universities to meet the requirement of the academic characteristic of the 21^st century which appeared as a result of the quick revolution of technology and information that made the Globe a small village in front of students.

At last but not the least, I have to confess here that I am deeply indebted To Allah, the powerful, the capable and the Merciful, to my sponsors of Higher Education in Jordan and the Arab world, to my brothers (Naim , Fahim and Ibrahim) and to my staff who worked timelessly with their utmost loyalty as one team.

Finally, I would like to announce that Majdalawi, by the will and help of Allah will continue this honest business which is derived from our Islamic code that encourages mankind to look after and seek for knowledge and science.

And we are sure that our success refers to Allah who is always our Patron.
