[PF:168010] Update, Day-2: Let's establish an exclusive Indian University for Muslim Women

Assalamo Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahe Wa Barakatahu. Hope and pray that this mail finds you in the best of health and eiman, insha-Allah! May Allah bless you with good health, lots of wealth, peace, prosperity and happiness!

Original Proposal: Let's establish an exclusive Indian University for Muslim Women

As a tribute to this child prodigy called Arfa Karim Randhawa ... ...
Proposing to establish an exclusive Indian University for Muslim Women, on the pattern of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), with the difference that it would be open to female students only. 
Let's try to establish a University for Muslim Women by any name ..... to pay tribute to Sir Syed Ahmad, the pioneer of modern education in the Asian subcontinent, we may call it Sir Syed women's university, or Aligarh Muslim Women's University, or Aligarh movement university for Women ... 
Well, we could even name it RAHBAR Women's University, or RAHBAR-e-Banaat University, or simply RAHBAR University.
Can someone donate sufficient land (say, 225 acres) within the 25km circle of AMU Jama Masjid? If not, anywhere?
Let's approach land-owners anywhere in India to donate 225 acres of land (suggest, if this is sufficient) ... 
What do you think? Share your thoughts freely-write to myrahbar@gmail.com; however kindly do not share any negative thoughts. If you wish to lead the project, you are welcome. Pls formulate a viable committee, and let's work together to give shape to this dream project. Let's work together to transform this dream into reality.
To start with, let's establish the following, with priority as listed (First, establish number-1, then 2 ...):
1. B.Ed. college (adding M.Ed. later)
2. College of Pharmacy
3. College for paramedical courses
4. A Business School for BBA, then MBA
5. College for Islamic Studies (UG, then PG)
6. Engineering College
7. General colleges - Arts, Science, Commerce
8. Dental College
9. Medical College and hospital
However, since our vision is to have a women's university, and not just a cluster of colleges, land is of prime importance. We must have enough land from the beginning.

Feedbacks received on Day-2 (produced partly, here)

Delighted to know about this. May Allah make you succeed in this endeavor as soon as possible. Aameen ... asma khan <asma0anjum0@gmail.com> 

Opening a womens' University is an excellent idea.  As for naming the same, I am for Rahbar, for, Rahbar is a known and trusted name, now. For location, it should be very safe, close to a strong Muslim locality. easily reachable and well connected.  Other issues are it's feeder institutions and availability of hostel facility,as, for professional courses, these seem to be essential. ... Mohammad Naushad, Bangalore <ruby.naushad@gmail.com>

we can take the example of kiit university orissa or bit mesra , vit vellore all these started with an engineering college later on added courses of other streams and became a deemed university; in the same way we can start to establish a college affiliated to a state university or technical university, subsequently adding courses in the long run. Distance edu course will not be that much attractive.... muhammad hasan <hasan_adab@yahoo.com

Indeed an excellent idea. And also "Rahbar"be the name because it has emerged as the most effective strategy to educate and empower the potentially hard working impoverished section of Indian Muslims.  ...  ... ahmad cameron <ahmadcameron@yahoo.com>  

Aligarh Women's College is already with an excellent infra structure...... why cant this be upgraded to a University? This can be achieved at a much lower cash outlay and much shorter time. .... S M Hasan <hasanofmeher@yahoo.co.uk>

Agreed that elevating Women's college will be far more cheaper and easier. But is the Muslim community of India so deprived of original thinking and resources that it can never think beyond Aligarh and beyond AMU? ... ahmad cameron <ahmadcameron@yahoo.com> 

A very nice initiatives and all we should come forward to execute. Requesting to all brothers to give ur consent  and ideas.Nadeem Athar Kazmi <kazmimade4u@yahoo.com>


May Allah give you time, good health, resources and support to fulfill your ambition. Aameen ... "KMS KHAN" kmskhan@yahoo.co.in

The suggestion of Chaudhari sahib is important and can be considered phase-0. It is essential before venturing towards the mammoth task of establishing a residential university for women. .. shabihashmi <shabihashmi@yahoo.com

[Shabi's feedback relates to Fariduddin Chaudhary Sb's advice, "I assume that your university will be residential. I advise you to consider that this will make it at least 3 times costlier to establish and run, than a non - residential one because of the infrastructure. This age is the age of Distance Education (DE). Please see if you can enmesh the idea of DE with the realities of the Indian Muslim Community( IMC ) which is distributed widely in the country as well as is  very poor. "]

Finance, availability of land etc are secondary. I feel following points matter most: 1. Vision and committed peoples, 2. Concept, 3. Detailed plan, 4. Road map, 5. Feasibility, 6. Action plan associated to responsibilities and time-line, 7. Agreement on educational broad based plan, Approvals and connecting with regulatory authority 8. Right location for the first center, and 9. Finance and management source. As you know if there is strong vision and concept and reasonably well prepared feasibility, people will open their wallet. Point is what you put in front of them. Last point, personally, I feel a successful institute which work under principle of Islam, bring values in peoples management and open to all including non-Muslim will serve better than only Muslim university. .. Abdul Rahman Siddiqui <arsid@eim.ae>

Sharique Kokab [http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=554203646] I donno about U..... but the idea is rocking... During course of action I can contribute, The Team can count me as one of the members.

Kaifee Anwer [http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=765060651] Good propsal. I remember the words of sir syed sb" meri betio tum ye na samjho ke amu sirf boys ke liye hai. Koi bhi qaum jab tak taraqqi nahin kar sakti jab tak unki auratein taleem yafta na ho. Jab hamare mard iss layaq ho jayeinge to wo apni aurat ko bhi talim denge." He was right. Now we can see amu is for women as well.

If this dream comes true. It could be a greatest work done yet... Everything seems to be impossible at the time of start, as the same feeling we had when we started fighting for AMU-K... Now be grace of almighty Allah has became reality... The most important factor for any noble work is to get the group of noble people, who can selflessly work towards the GOAL. Thus according to me.. The first important part is to identify the group of people who can work hard to get the first step done like getting 200 to 250 acre of land... Mahfooz Alam [http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=717725478]

Good idea.....nice thaughts about muslim women.....sach to yee hai agr hamain aapna tasveer badlna hai to women education ko badhawa dena hi hoga..... Matin Iqbal [http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002266366907]

Good initiative... We all are supposed to come together and put hand in hands. Even the thought is good to lit a big flame.Insa allah... Asghar Usmani [http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001788408050]

Asa, I support the cause please go ahead. ... Noorullah Khan <khannoorullah@yahoo.co.in>

  • Azam Sikandar Brother! u have deeply elaborated on each n every response of the ppl. Ur dedication n sincerity is quite appreciable. the Idea of Waqf is quite feasible for the purpose of land and financial assistance but it must be with least involvement of Waqf members.
