| “Since Allah created man, that he has been working diligently to obtain food to live, which made the pursuit of satisfying the body’s desires an innate and instinctive matter. Therefore, our university seeks to provide all means and opportunities to obtain sufficient and healthy food to meet the nutritional needs to ensure the continuity of students to finish their studies. Without any obstacles or problems they face, one of the most important of these problems is the possibility of providing food.” |  |
