The University is run under the auspices of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia.

History

The birth of IAIN Ar-Raniry was preceded by the establishment of the Faculty of Shari'ah in 1960 and the Faculty of Tarbiyah in 1962 as a branch of IAIN Sunan Kalidjaga Yogyakarta. In addition, in the same year (1962), Ushuluddin Faculty was also established as a private faculty in Banda Aceh. After a few years as a branch of IAIN Yogyakarta, the faculties sprang to IAIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta for six months until IAIN Ar-Raniry was inaugurated. At the time of inauguration on October 5, 1963, with the issuance of Decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia No. 89 of 1963.

As the third IAIN in the archipelago after IAIN Sunan Kalidjaga Yogyakarta and IAIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, IAIN Ar-Raniry continues to advance and develop. When IAIN Ar-Raniry was inaugurated (October 5, 1963) it has only three faculties, namely Faculty of Shari'ah, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Ushuluddin Faculty, but only 5 years old was inaugurated also Faculty of Da'wah (1968) as the faculty of Da'wah in the IAIN neighborhood in Indonesia. In 1968, IAIN Ar-Raniry was appointed as the parent of two state-run religious faculties in Medan (the forerunner of IAIN North Sumatra), the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Syari'ah which lasted for 5 years.

To match with other IAIN-IAIN, in 1983, the Adab Faculty officially became one of the 5 faculties in the IAIN Ar-Raniry neighborhood.

IAIN is an abbreviation of the State Islamic Institute and the Ar-Raniry word attributed to IAIN Banda Aceh is the name of a great Ulama and mufti who was very influential on the time of Sultan Iskandar Tsani (reigned in 1637-1641). The great scholar is the full name of Sheikh Nur al-Din Ar-Raniry from Ranir (now Rander) in Gujarat, India. He has made a very valuable contribution to the development of Islamic thought in Southeast Asia, especially in Aceh.

In its historical standing, IAIN Ar-Raniry as an institution of higher education, has demonstrated its strategic role and significance for development and development of society. Its evenly distributed alumni are found in almost all government and private agencies (including outside Aceh), it is not excessive to mention that this institution has been established and is a "pocket of the Aceh community".

Founding period

The long wait of IAIN Ar Raniry Banda Aceh to become State Islamic University (UIN) materialized. The status of the campus which is located in Kopelma Darussalam was officially increased after the publication of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) RI Number 64.

"The change of status of IAIN to UIN Ar Raniry is a special gift for Jantong Hate Campus (heart of heart) of Acehnese who is 50 years old, exactly on October 5, 2013," said special staff of IAIN Rector Ar Raniry, Saifullah Isri to Okezone in Banda Aceh, Friday (10/11/2013).

He said the Perpres dated October 1, 2013 on the increase of IAIN status into a UIN signed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, was received by his side on Thursday, October 10 at the Office of the Cabinet Secretary, Jakarta.

UIN Ar Raniry Aceh is the seventh and youngest UIN in Indonesia, after UIN Sunan Syarif Kasim. As of October 1, 2013, everything related to names, status and assets, whether fixed or mobile, including students, lecturers, and IAIN employees automatically become UIN Ar Raniry's assets.

"Gratitude Alhamdulillah, in the golden year IAIN Ar Raniry managed to carve out an important history in the development of identity, namely the change of status into a university," said Saifullah.

Rector of IAIN Ar Raniry, Prof. Farid Wajdi Ibrahim would like to thank all parties who have supported and jointly fight for the status change to UIN. According to him, UIN Ar Raniry will be inaugurated at the peak of the 50th Anniversary of IAIN Ar Raniry in an open senate meeting, along with several other activities after Eid al-Adha. Farid said it will also open several new faculty starting next year, among them the Faculty of Economics and Islamic Business, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Faculty of Psychology and Counseling and Faculty of Science and Technology.
