The exams will follow Sudan’s time zone, with three scheduled times in Indonesia: 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, and 7:00 PM (WIB).
To ensure smooth and credible exam administration, faculty members from Al Wafi Islamic Boarding School and lecturers from Mahad Aly Al Wafi will act as coordinators overseeing the examination process, from preparation to final assessment. These coordinators, experienced and knowledgeable in their respective fields, bring valuable expertise to manage this significant academic responsibility.
Ustadz Muhammad Syuja’i Anhar, Head of Mahad Aly Al Wafi, expressed gratitude and appreciation for the trust placed in the institution. “This is a great responsibility, and we are committed to fulfilling this trust with excellence. We will ensure that the exam process is conducted transparently, fairly, and in alignment with international standards,” he stated.

Students from the International University of Africa welcomed the news, seeing it as an opportunity to gain valuable experience and validation of their educational quality. This entrusted responsibility reinforces Al Wafi Islamic Boarding School and Mahad Aly Al Wafi’s standing as leading Islamic educational institutions recognized not only within Indonesia but also on the international stage.
