2 A Brief Report 2008-2009A Brief Report 2008-2009FACULTY OF THEOLOGY ON MOVE
Faculty of Theology is one of the oldest Faculties
of A.M.U. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, the founder of
the institution introduced the teaching of Sunni
and Shia Theology. He invited prominent Sunni
and Shia religious scholars to head it. Maulana
Abdullah Ansari, son-in-law of Maulana Qasim
Nanotvi, the founder of Darul Uloom Deoband was
appointed as first Nazim-e-Deeniyat. This
developed into Department of Shia and Sunni
Theology and finally became teaching Faculty in
1960.
The Faculty is not only the oldest but also unique
in many ways. This is the only Faculty in Indian
Universities where Sunni and Shia Theology is
taught and graduate , post- graduate and
doctorate degrees are awarded. These two Departments not only provide teaching and research facilities
but also manage religious life of the campus. The two symbolise Sunni-Shia unity and are a living
manifestation of Sir Syed's vision of Muslim unity and brotherhood.
Faculty of Theology has a rich history. It had outstanding and world famous scholars like, Maulana Abdul
Lateef Rahmani, Maulana Sulaiman Ashraf, Prof. Saeed Ahmad Akbarabadi, Allama Ali Naqi Naqvi, Mufti
Hafeezullah, Prof. Taqi Amini, Allama Mujtaba Hasan Kamoonpuri, Professor Fazlur Rahman Ginnori and
Professor Maulana Kalbe Abid, who had hundreds of books published in various languages. Even now we have
faculty members who have numerous scholarly research and books published in different languages
in many countries and those who have participated in religious and Inter-Faith conferences in different
countries and delivered invited lectures in the overseas institutions.

Our Vision 2020
Sir Syed's vision, while establishing Aligarh Movement was to promote modern education among Muslims,
economic upliftment, social reform, cultural rejuvenation and presentation of Islamic thought in the
modern context and to defend Islam against the onslaught of hostile and undue criticism. Our mission is to
make Faculty of Theology a place to implement and realize some important aspects of this vision of Sir
Syed.
Following are some of the goals we have set for our Faculty till 2020
1. To make this Faculty a prime institution of Islamic theological teaching in the world.
2. To make the Faculty a leading place for inter-religious studies by establishing Centres for Comparative
Religion and Inter-Faith Studies in two Departments. Muslims were the pioneers of Studies in
Comparative Religion and once again they should play a leading role.
3. To make this Faculty a Centre of Intra-Faith Studies to promote unity and scholarly understanding
among Muslim sects and schools of thought. This may include establishment of Centres for studies in
Comparative Fiqh, Kalam and approach to Tafsir etc.
4. To place the Faculty on International map by establishing active relations with Universities and leading
Centres of learning on global level by signing MoU and encouraging our Faculty members to participate
in International Conferences and visit abroad.
5. To make Faculty of Theology a hub of intellectual activities by organizing Conferences, Seminars,
Work-shops and Symposium, by launching website and establishing outreach programs.
6. To make the Faculty a Centre of Research and Publications. Our aim is to get at least five scholarly
works of our teachers and Research Scholars published every year.
7. To translate basic sources and Islamic classics into different languages
8. Research and publications concerning current issues and contemporary problems, related to Theology
9. To establish a rich Reference Library of Islamic and religious studies.
10. To institute an Award for the best book on Islamic Studies in the SAARC countries.
Our Vision 2020
