First Islamic university was established in which Islamic country?

The University of Al Karaouine in Fez, Morocco is thus recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest degree-granting university in the world with its founding in 859 by woman called Fatima al-Fihri. Also in the 9th century, Bimaristan medical schools were founded in the medieval Islamic world, where medical degrees and diplomas were issued to students of Islamic medicine who were qualified to be a practicing Doctor of Medicine. Al-Azhar University, founded in Cairo, Egypt in 975, was a Jami'ah university which offered a variety of post-graduate degrees (Ijazah), and had individual faculties for a theological seminary, Islamic law and jurisprudence, Arabic grammar, Islamic astronomy, early Islamic philosophy, and logic in Islamic philosophy. Some scholars such as George Makdisi, John Makdisi and Hugh Goddard argue that Europian medieval universities were influenced in many ways by the medieval university institutions in Islamic Spain (when it was part of the Islamic country between 711 and 1492 and it was called Al-Andalus) such as the Emirate of Sicily, and also the Middle East in general.
