Introduction
TOP
The Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies is one of
the oldest departments of GCU. Dr. G.W. Leitner, an Orientalist,
Professor of Arabic and the first Principal of Government College,
Lahore founded the department in 1864. In 2005, a 4- Years Degree
Programme was introduced as a Major Subject. The Department acquired the
Postgraduate status after launching MPhil in Islamic Studies in 2010.
The department also offers a Certificate Course in Arabic Language.
Eminent Scholars like Prof. Noor Bakhsh, Dr. Pir Muhammad Hassan, Prof
Sheikh Inayat Ullah, Prof. Abdul Qayyum, Dr. A.S. Agha, Dr. Zia-ul- Haq
Sufi, Dr. S.M. Zaman, Dr. Baha-ul-Haq Rana, Prof. Rafi Ullah Shihab,
Prof. Imtiaz Ahmad Saeed, Dr. Khurshid-ul-Hassan Rizvi and Prof. Khan
Muhammad Chawala have given their best to the department. The Department
aims at realizing the long cherished dream of striking a balance between
the pristine values of Islam as outlined in the Holy Qur'an and the
Sunnah, and the practical challenges of modern times. We try to
cultivate a spirit of dispassionate research bringing about chisled
minds firm in belief but endowed with tolerance without, of course,
being apologetic. The highly qualified academicians have been engaged to
focus on achieving excellence in education and research and contributing
to the intellectual, cultural and social development of the institution.
