Through the Prize, the King Faisal Foundation seeks to show its appreciation to those individuals who have rendered exceptionally outstanding services to Islam and Muslims, and to scholars and scientists who have made significant contributions and advances in areas that benefit developing and Islamic countries, and humanity at large. Prizes are awarded in medicine, science, Islamic studies, Arabic language and literature and service to Islam.

Each year the selection committees designate subjects in Islamic Studies, Arabic Literature, and Medicine. Topics in Islamic studies highlight areas of importance in Muslim society; Arabic literature related to specialised areas within the discipline. Subjects in medicine are reflecting current areas of international concern. The science subcategories cover a broad scope: physics, mathematics, chemistry and biology.
