Students of today must dedicate themselves to follow the teachings of Prophet Mohammad (may Allah bless and greet him) in their lives completely in letter and spirit. It is the duty of each one of us that we must strive as hard as possible to attain knowledge without discriminating between mundane or religious. These views were expressed by the Vice Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Prof. P.K. Abdul Azis. He was addressing the valedictory session of the Seerah programmes organised by the Seerat Committee of AMU on March 20.
“Islam is the religion of peace and harmony. However, some fascist forces are trying to project a wrong image of Islam,” groaned Prof. Abdul Azis. According to him only the educated youths have the potential and power to quell and defeat such an obnoxious tendency and to present a true picture of Islam. Prof. Azis categorically mentioned that there is no relationship between Islam and terrorism. “AMU is a unique blend of Islamic and modern education,” emphasised Prof. Azis.
Highlighting the secular credentials of AMU, Prof. P.K. Abdul Azis mentioned that right from the day one the Founder of this Institution Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and his comrades upheld the highest ethos of secularism. He called upon the students to take active part in the process of nation building.
