In the name of god the most gracious the most merciful
Babylon, the land of civilizations, from which humanity started, from its clay tables, humanity registered the first letters. From which the prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) illuminated the world with a divine light. The city of Hila, the heir of glory and culture, inherited glory from Babylon. Through out the ages, the city of Hila remained a city of history and humanitarian thinking. From its Hauza a beacon of science emerged to capture the attention of scientists. The city of Hila is named Faihaa ( scented) because of its good smell and pure water. The poet Safai Aldeen A lhily did not exaggerate when he said " those who didn't see the city of Hila are oppressed in their life time. In this city, our scientific edifice ,the university of Babylon, was built to be a real extinction for science, and literature in the land of civilizations.
