DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES
The curricula in the University include compulsory and optional subjects. Islamic & Pakistan studies are included in the compulsory subjects. The underlying purpose of teaching this subject to the students of engineering disciplines is to impress upon them the richness of Islamic culture, heritage and civilization and the role played by Islamic ideology in guiding the Muslims of the sub-continent towards their most cherished goal of an independent home land, Pakistan. After inculcating in them the Cultural, Social, Economic, Political and historical aspects of Islamic civilization, the students would be able to protect and promote Islam, not only as a religion but as a system in Pakistan and in the world as well. For the realization of these objectives, the Islamic Studies was introduced in the University as an optional subject in 1961. In the subsequent years, due to its importance this subject was made compulsory for all the Muslim students and its scope was progressively enlarged. Now the Department teaches Islamic Studies to all undergraduate programs. In 1982 the Government of Pakistan prescribed Pakistan Studies as an essential component of the syllabi at all levels of education. Since then the Department is teaching this subject also. The University welcomed the idea of the Governor of Punjab to teach Qur'anic translation to the students of bachelor's degree programs. So the subject "Translation of the Holy Qur'an", one credit hour course per year, is being taught to the undergraduate students since 2020. The Department has a computer lab and a library rich with high quality research books. In addition to all these activities, some faculty members of the Department have been delivering Friday Sermon in Jamia Mosque UET.
