Iqra University provides a fair chance to

everyone to have professional education
regardless of an individuals background. One
will most likely end up getting admission on
qualifying the admission test. Things gradually
change once you are enrolled here.
The pattern of education is basically divided
into two phases. In the first phase, the mentors
attempt to implement methods that build up
genuine interest, passion and desire among
students to learn that discipline. This leads
them to conduct activities and subsequently
assign interactive and interesting yet extremely
constructive tasks for their students. In the
second phase of the course of study, students
are exposed to a tougher and rigorous
academic work, resultantly making them stable
and competitive professionals.
Education is the primary objective and the most
vital element for every student. But it is
essentially a way of education blended with all
of its other components that build up an
institute.
Students can join 3 out of the 5 societies on
campus. Badminton, volleyball, basketball and
soccer are the main intramural sports. A
considerable number of competitions, events

IQRA University is
ranked as the 2nd best
University in Pakistan in
the field of Business

and seminars are conducted regularly. Apart

from this, there are off-campus events and
competitions in which students participate
zealously. This trend is on the rise to the
satisfaction of the management and students.

High Achievers

The university has a helpful and friendly

atmosphere. Senior students are kind enough
to assist their juniors with just about
everything. Communication with the teachers is
quite easy and the staff here is extremely
helpful. The whole bond between the staff
(which also includes the gatekeepers, canteen
attendants and the stationary shop people)
unites everyone at Iqra University in a very
unusual yet interesting way.
In addition, the university provides students
with freedom and space, which are essential no
matter what background they come from. Not
only prompting them to dream and think big
but also facilitating them to practically
implement their thoughts to realize their
dreams.
Moreover, it is here where you would want to
be and where you would be happy for now and
for the distant future.

Understanding IQBAL
The Task Ahead
by Muhammad Azam

(Senior Research Associate in Dept. of Computing and Tech.)

Allama Iqbal is arguably one of the greatest Muslim thinkers and fittingly attributed by Iqbal academy website as the
best articulated Muslim response to modernity in the 20th century. He is largely famous for his inspiring wisdom poetry
and as a political activist who first coined the idea of a separate state for the Muslims of Indian Sub-continent. But there
is also a third dimension of Iqbals contribution which is slightly less known to the younger generation of Muslims. He
provided through his philosophical prose writings a fresh orientation, in the light of modern human thoughts of some of
the fundamental ideas of Islam. His philosophical insights can be primarily found in the famous compilation of his series of lectures, which he delivered
from 1928 to 1929, called The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam. In this short article I would try to emphasize on the importance of
continued progress for the Muslims of today.
According to Iqbal, during the last five hundred years, no significant progress was made by Muslims in the development of their religious thought. On
the other hand, during the same period, European thinkers, who initially received inspiration from Muslims, were continuously working on the problems in which we were initially interested. There is no doubt that, during the last few centuries, West has made great progress in the domains of human thought and experience. Modern man, as a direct result of this progress, has gradually developed the habits of concrete thought. He has learned
to do free inquiry, suspect all authority and question all assumptions. It is very difficult for a rational mind of today to accept religion as a set of beliefs
without any concrete rational foundations. Because of the five hundred years old static religious thoughts, Muslim scholars of today are unable to convince a modern mind.
Iqbal was very critical of the poor achievements of Muslim scholars in the domains of human knowledge especially in the traditional religious
sciences. He was of the opinion that early schools of Islamic theology were indeed built on rational foundations. They initially served a great purpose in
shaping and directing the progress of religious thoughts but unfortunately they failed to continue it in the right direction. Their decline, according to
him, was not because of faulty scholarship of Muslim scholars but their lack of will and courage to live up to ideals embodied in Islamic teachings. As a
result of their lethargic approach, Muslim scholars were left behind in the race of knowledge and gradually they became incapable of receiving any
insight from the new developments. They are still relying on the same old methods which were created by generations living in a very different culture
from the world of today. He writes in Wings of Gabriel


The forest of learning and research is devoid of lion-hearted men. See that only the blind followers of the Mullahs and Sufis have now been left behind,
O Saqi!
According to Iqbal, the young generation of Muslims are demanding a fresh orientation of their faith. In order to satisfy a rational mind, it is imperative
for us to reconstruct our religious foundations in the light of recent advancements in human knowledge. He himself led the way through his prose
writings in which he tried to lay down the foundations of some of the basic ideas of Islam. The main objective before him was to develop a proper
understanding of Islam as a message to not only Muslims but to all mankind. He urged Muslims to carefully evaluate the progress of the west in the
light of eternal Islamic teachings and see how it can help us in the further development of our religious thoughts. He writes in Reconstruction
The task before the modern Muslim is, therefore, immense. He has to rethink the whole system of Islam without completely breaking with the past .
The only course open to us is to approach modern knowledge with a respectful but independent attitude and to appreciate the teachings of Islam in the
light of that knowledge, even though we may be led to differ from those who have gone before us.
Iqbal saw modern European culture on its intellectual side as a further development of culture that Islam itself promoted in its early stages. He didnt
find anything wrong in learning from west but his only fear was that its glittering exterior might hinder our sight and we might fail to reach the real
target. He says in The Rod of Moses

Open to all are the wine-houses of the West It is no sin todrink

deep at the wells of new
learning."

Islam is the last message of God for mankind and being its torch bearer it is our responsibility to make this message as simple as possible for
understanding. Iqbal started this great work leaving behind a great legacy. It is now the duty of our future generations to continue this work in the
right direction. During this continuous struggle, we must always remember that the development of human thought, according to Iqbal himself, is a
never ending journey. We should never let this idea cross our mind that we have the ultimate knowledge but rather we should approach every new
development with an unbiased attitude. A quote from the preface of Reconstruction
It must, however, be remembered that there is no such thing as finality in philosophical thinking. As knowledge advances and fresh avenues of
thought are opened, other views, and probably sounder views than those set forth in these Lectures, are possible. Our duty is to carefully watch the
progress of human thought and to maintain an independent critical attitude towards it.

The Invisible Art

NEW FACULTY (Computer Dept.)

by Bilal Muneer

Id like to welcome you to

this course on Computer
Science. Actually, thats a
terrible
way
to
start.
Computer Science is a terrible
name for this business. First of
all, its not a science. It might
be engineering, or it might be
art, or well actually see that
computer so-called science
actually has a lot in common
with magic. (Opening statement
of MITs legendary Structure and
Interpretation of
Computer Programs 1986 lectures by Harold
Abelson)

Its a fine line I guess, because

mostly
programming is
considered as a part of
Engineering or science, and
people wrote so many books
explaining just how to write

better codes, but here arises a

question; is this the right
approach? What if we take it
as a form of art?
One cant write a good code
by just attending lectures or
reading books or by using our
best friend, Google. Its same
like any other form of art. You
want to compose good music
but you cant do it by just
studying the theory. Even from
drawing a straight line to
producing a brilliant piece of
art you need practice. Same is
the case with programming.
Years of practice, where you
constantly challenge yourself
into doing things youre
unfamiliar with, can turn you
into a great programmer.

People are reluctant to accept

it as art, maybe because it is
not listed traditionally as a
form of art. But about a
century ago even cinema
wasnt considered as art. I
think its a kind of an invisible
art.
Someone once said that (and
Im paraphrasing here): What
we need today are coders
who are at once brilliant
coders, expert judges, and
artists of sufficient taste to
convincingly explain to the
rest of us how to know great
code when we see it.

Pakistans history traces back to 2500 years

B.C. Civilizations like Moenjodaro &
Harrappa flourished along Indus River basin.
Greeks came to Pakistan in 327 B.C., under the
command of Alexander, the Great. In 712 AD,
the Arabs, led by Muhammad Bin Qasim landed near modern port city, Karachi; ruling for
200 years. In the 10th century, Muslims from
Central Asia, conquered the Subcontinent and
ruled till the 18th century. Then the British
reigned India for nearly 100 years.
Pakistans tourism has special significance due
to its diverse-culture, landscape and sturdy
people. World Economic Forum for Travel &
Tourism (2009) ranked Pakistan among the top
25 tourist destinations.
Tourism is important and vital for many
countries; it creates opportunities for
employment in areas such as transportation
services (airlines, taxicabs and accommodation
services) and entertainment venues (casinos,

shopping malls, amusement parks, theatres

and music venues).
Some steps have been taken to control
activities related to terrorism. From 2003 to
2011, Pakistan spent around $68 billion for
direct and indirect economic costs of terroristic activities. Steps also have been taken to
counter sectarian violence between the Sunni
and Shiate Muslims. Efforts are being exerted
to curb the easy access of guns and explosives
and to eradicate the existence of the
Kalashnikov culture.
To improve tourism campaigns have been
launched from time to time through T.V, cable
& internet ads. Besides, the national heroes
have been highlighted to improve the negative
image of our country. However, in order to
promote tourism, facilities and appropriate
infrastructure should be provided keeping in
mind that the face of Pakistani culture is not
tarnished.

An Interview with Dr. Jamil

Ahmad
By Hassaan Mirza and Wafa Mir.

HM/WM: Could you shed some light on your achievements?

Dr Jamil: It is embarrassing to brag about ones achievements. To be honest, somebody else should assess that.
However, my major contribution was at GIK in 1995 where I spent 5 years. I was assigned the deanship of computer engineering. I worked very hard and tried to teach, develop labs and faculty. I developed computer systems program there and it was accredited by PEC and subsequently due to our efforts GIK succeeded in attaining the 9th position among Pakistani universities at that time.

HM/WM: Could you give us a synopsis of the past, present of IQRA University?
Dr Jamil: When I joined Iqra 9 years ago, it was a small university with a negligible academic structure. Around 150 students were enrolled at that
time. It was here that I had my second achievement as I developed a study culture and later evolved it into a research culture. There are two types of
research: Applied research which focuses on local, industrial problems. While pure research focuses on producing PhDs, writing theory, and publishing
research papers in international journals. This is evident from the fact that IQRA University has been ranked number 35 out of 96 universities. In 2010,
27 papers were published in international journals. Currently, the Management Sciences Department is regarded as number 1 in research in Pakistan.

HM/WM: Where do you see Iqra in the next 10 years?

Dr Jamil: We visualize that it would be among the top 3 universities in Pakistan by 2015. It is definitely a tough task but we hope to realize it through
dedicated collective efforts. Iqra would have a completely new state-of-the art campus in Islamabad. It would be a fully residential based campus with
faculty members and students residing there enjoying various academic facilities and sports activities. This would lead us to the top 3 universities in
Pakistan.

HM/WM: How would you compare education of your time to the one available in Pakistan nowadays?
Dr Jamil: We didnt have access to high technology in our times which is a big difference. Nowadays, you have cell phones, internet and many other
things that have drastically changed since our times. This is known as blended learning. As there are classrooms equipped with the latest technology,
you can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world. However, comparatively speaking, we had one advantage in our times. Students then were
more serious in their approach while this trait is missing among the present day students. Presently, competition is very tough as compared to the past.
Availability of Technology has negatively affected on reading habits. If students change their attitude, the present time would be better than before.

HM/WM: What makes you believe that Iqra is better than the rest?
Dr Jamil: Two entities are important i.e faculty and students. We have a highly qualified faculty here. The CS and Engineering department are leading
in this. We also have highly motivated students. So I believe that because of these two factors Iqra will be No.1 University. LUMS and GIK started with a
team of 4-5 people, we have a bigger and a better team as compared to them at the same stage. We currently have over 3000 students with 150 faculty
members. Hence I believe Iqra is better placed than the rest.

HM/WM: How difficult is it for a fresh graduate to get a job these days? Are courses at Iqra tailored to meet the market needs and I f
any research is done to assess the new trends?
Dr Jamil: There are a lot of issues involved. Students should not sit at home once they have completed their studies. If the university does not do any
thing to facilitate job opportunities for the students then this would create a negative impression of the university in the society, as people would be
hesitant to send their children to such a university which does nothing for the fresh graduates. It should actually be the responsibility of the university
to help fresh graduates to find jobs. There should be a placement unit, which should help students in preparing for interviews, writing CVs, and enabling them to market themselves. No course is available which prepares a student to hunt for a job. Out of 137 credit hours, at least 6-7 credit hours
should be spared for teaching students how to grab jobs.

HM/WM: What interests you the most about artificial intelligence and neural networks?
Dr Jamil: When I did my PhD in 1995, A.I. and Neural networks were extremely famous and the research organizations used to allocate considerable
funds for research in these fields. Hence many students were attracted to this field and it was one the reasons why I chose this field. When I did my
masters from Peshawar University, there was no challenge in conventional programming. An idea kept on teasing my mind: how to make a program
more intelligent, so when I went to UK, my interest built up and during my masters from University of Warwick I took up a couple of courses regarding
AI but I still wanted to learn more and then when I did my masters I finally understood what AI was. I have also published more than 70 research papers
on that subject.

HM/WM: What steps are being taken to improve technical collaboration?

Dr Jamil: We have industrial linkages and have signed MOUs with National Institute of Electronics, Telenor etc.

HM/WM: If a student is interested in learning a subject in addition to his/her course can he/she sit in that class?
Dr Jamil: In the first two weeks, students come up to me and ask if they can take 7 subjects. I advise them to come to me after 3 weeks. They
normally disappear then. Students can attend any class if they wish. If I could go back in time, I would take 200 credit hours even if I have to pay. At
this university you dont need to even pay, just request the teachers to sit in the class without causing any disturbance. I highly encourage you all to
attend classes of your interest.

HM/WM: How does the curriculum of Iqra relate to industrial needs?

Dr Jamil: Generally speaking, our curriculum is stereotype due to HECs tough conditions. Nevertheless, we often invite people from various industries to our open houses and show them our curriculum asking for suggestions. We, normally keep in consideration the curriculums of other universities as well, so that students do not find much problems when they join them for higher studies. I feel there ought to be some emphasis on applied
course that caters the needs of the industry. Some courses like Mobile Application Development and Datawarehousing in the CS program have been
started keeping in view the needs of the industry.

HM/WM: Can you tell us a little about the Joint degree program with Coventry University, UK?
Dr Jamil: We are struggling with it, as the fee is too high. But it is still going on, one batch was recently admitted. It has many advantages, as this is a
high level program. All the exam papers must be sent back to Coventry University for checking and verification. Teachers must justify their results and
this was done through video conferencing and it was quite successful. Both of us have benefited from this program. They developed the fashion
designing department after seeing our setup.

HM/WM: Why are there so few extra curricular events at Iqra University?
Dr Jamil: We do not discourage these events but some factors like tight schedule of studies play a role in it . Recently, IEEE Tectiqs was successfully
organized and there will be more similar events InshAllah, in the future. We are planning to hold our second convocation, on the 27th March which
also marks the 10th anniversary of Iqra University. A music concert featuring Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is also in the pipeline. A fun week for students is
also planned around mid of March 2012.

Favorite Quotation
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of
the oppressor Desmond Tutu

HM/WM: Greatest disappointment?

Dr Jamil: I am disappointed by the negativity in the mind of the Pakistani people, who make excuses about terrorism, load-shedding, corruption etc.
There are fundamental flaws in the academic system due to which, at times, I wish I was not in education. In my personal life, I have not come across
any disappointment as I always keep three outcomes of anything; best, average and the worst. One should always be ready for the worst so that
there is no disappointment.

HM/WM: How many scholarships are given out each year?

Dr Jamil: Not many students take advantage of this facility. Students obtaining 4 GPA are offered 60% of the fee. Those who achieve 3.75 GPA and
above get 40%. With a 3.5 and above GPA one gets 20% of the fee. We also grant Qarz-e-hasana up to 30 % of the fee. But the amount has to be
returned without any interest after graduation.

HM/WM: What would you be doing if you werent at IQRA?

Dr Jamil: *Laughs* If I werent in education I would be a politician! Politics is another thing that interests me the most.
HM/WM: What sort of mindset is required to be successful?
Dr Jamil: A positive mindset is always required. We should keep in mind the interest of others before us. I have helped many students with their
research work without expecting any remuneration.

HM/WM: On an ending note, any pearls of wisdom for the students?

Dr Jamil: Students should put in hard work. There is an occasion when the Holy Prophet travelled 500 km from Makkah to Madinah on foot and by
camel but Allah did not take him by light as He did during the occasion of Mairaj (ascension to Heavens to meet Allah). This shows that the Holy
Prophet was required to do hard work and Allah wants us to do the same. If you want to be a successful person, you have to do hard work, there are
no shortcuts. Always strive to do something. Keep your aims high and work for the betterment of the humanity.
