Director's Message

Shaikh Zayed Islamic Centre occupies a unique place at the University of Peshawar blending a pro-Islamic environment with a modern academic spirit. Alongside traditional Islamic subjects such as Fiqh, Hadith, Tafseer, and Islamic History, the Centre offers contemporary disciplines including Economics, Computer Science, English Literature, and Mathematics at the graduation level, while also facilitating Madrassah students in joining mainstream university education. As Director, I take great pride in the Centre's growth from a mere 80 students to over 600, and from a single BA (Hons) programme to BS Computer Science, MA in Qur'anic Studies, M.Phil leading to Ph.D, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Islamic Banking. The Centre offers a research-oriented environment, modern labs, a spacious library, a dedicated hostel, and a Masjid with its corridors echoing Tilawat-e-Qur'an and the pursuit of knowledge. Our research journal, Al-Idah, reflects the Centre's inclusive and moderate voice within Islamic scholarship. Backed by a dedicated and professional faculty, our mission remains clear: to equip our students with the knowledge, values, and skills needed to serve the Muslim Ummah with distinction.
