Aligarh:

The Sunni Theological Society of the Department of Sunni Theology, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), organised a prize distribution ceremony to honour the winners of a writing competition held on the theme, “The Legal and Historical Status of Waqf and the Formation of a Peaceful Society in the Light of Islamic Teachings.”

Professor Mohammad Wasim Ali, Proctor of AMU and the Chief Guest, commended the choice of a socially and religiously significant topic. He noted that while such themes deserve broader academic engagement, the Faculty of Theology has set a precedent for others to follow.

Presiding over the event, Professor Mohammad Habibullah Qasmi, Dean of the Faculty and Head of the Department, lauded the efforts of the Society and emphasised the importance of organising such programmes to showcase students’ academic and intellectual potential.

Guest of Honour, Professor Mohammad Saud Alam Qasmi encouraged students to take their dual expertise in modern and religious education beyond the university. “Your responsibilities are greater, and you must rise to meet them at the national academic stage,” he advised.

Professor Mohammad Rashid urged students not to be discouraged by competition outcomes, reminding them that many more opportunities lie ahead. Professor Tayyab Raza Naqvi, former Head of the Department of Shia Theology, also congratulated the Society for its timely theme selection.

Dr. Nadeem Ashraf, faculty member of the department, delivered the welcome address.

The programme was conducted by Zahid Ali, Vice President of the Sunni Theological Society. Dr. Raihan Akhtar Qasmi delivered the vote of thanks.

The event drew a large audience, including faculty, students, and staff from various departments.
