The updates are now made available at http://www.biharanjuman.org/ambition/University_proposal_Update.htmlYour suggestions can make the concept more valuable. Pls do write to myrahbar@gmail.com
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.
Day-3 & 4 Update on the proposal for an exclusive Indian University for Muslim Women:
It is encouraging to note that we have received 2nd offer for land, the area of which should be enough to start work on the university. We are currently negotiating the conditions for the use of this private land. Once we have an agreement finalized, we would definitely share the details with you, insha-Allah. Pls pray to Allah to make things as easy as this …
Pls note that I cannot share all the feedback with you, at the moment, and seek your forgiveness for this. Our common goal is the university, and for that to achieve, we will need to be passionate and cautious, both at the same time.
Feedback from women has increased (three times), with one sister looking for equal opportunity rather than separate university … I take it as equal intake in the universities (50% of seats in all of India's universities), and feel that 100% seats in some universities may make this easier to achieve.
Another negative feedback was with respect to the "muslim" tag … I feel this tag is to take advantage of the constitutional provision for minority institutions, and helps in getting govt. approvals apart from making sure that muslim cultural values can be nurtured without any objection from any sections. The same brother also has objected to segregation of women from men, citing technical reasons like "intellectual development of the members of such segregated community will soon be frozen, because personal evolution takes place only where the interaction of divergent thinking provides the requisite mental stimuli, which is possible only if you welcome other communities/ gender to join you." Well, so far as other communities are concerned, yes, they would definitely be there, with just 50% seats reserved for minorities. So far as segregating men and women is concerned, that is what a muslim society should look for. There may be some benefits of men-and-women-working together, particularly for men, who don't have to bear any burden of love/ relationship unless forced by law. However, there are more harms than the perceived benefits. The One Who created us all knows its creation (men and women) far better than the created being; and the Creator asks for segregation. Who is wiser? The Creator, or the created?
An important argument that has cropped up, although it may be too early to discuss that, is the resource-crunch. I believe Allah's words which says (Quran, 40:60) "Udóoni, asjaib lakum" (Call on me, and I will answer your prayer). We may not realise but Allah's resources are not scarce; they are scarce for the doubtful, not for those who move ahead with full faith in Allah … if there are people coming forward to donate hundreds of acres of land, why do we believe that money would not be forth coming; and we don't need to depend on charity alone! As your feedbacks come in, and the concepts on all aspects evolve, clarity would also emerge, insha-Allah.
Following are positive feedbacks received on Day-3 and 4 [If I missed out any of your feedback, it's due to my weakness, not intentional. Pls. do forgive me for my negligence, but let me know, so that I could incorporate your valuable comments in the updates; they help us learn a lot]:

One thing I strongly feel about is the Quality of Education.
Can something be done about it in our Muslim institutions ,across the country?
The standards sometimes horrify us no end. Allah aap ko kamyab akre or sehut ke sath mehfooz or khush rakhe, apni family ke sath. Aameen! … asma khan <asma0anjum0@gmail.com>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In principle there is interest in such a project. Its massive and needs herculean efforts. At least all of us can give it a try. It will succeed insha-allah considering that the intentions are right.
Shall we not start chalking plans about the first two aspects: 1. Vision and committed peoples, 2. Concept
Who are the committed people? Is it not us? Is it not the group of people willing to contribute with Tan-Man-Dhan? I suppose the first two factors Tan and Man are more critical at this stage. We need at least 30-40 senior people with experience, dedication, maturity, and passion for community work. Naturally the younger generations will be willing to be their lieutenants (I am raising my hands for becoming a lieutenant right away!). Conceptualizing is another aspect for which the ball should start rolling. The first point of attention should be Jamia Hamdard in Delhi and BS Abdur Rahman University in Madras. How they have managed their affairs and progressed so fast should be kept in perspectives. Community has got plenty of Dhan and one will definitely need to be be-sharam in literal sense (like Sir Syed Ahmad Khan) to ask for it and even accept whatever small the contribution is. For this purpose we will need tens of Dr. Razi Raziuddins (Razi bhai). Shabi Hashmi <shabihashmi@yahoo.com>

If you have determination, then start rightaway. Take example from the early life of Prohphet Mohammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam. My mantra of working is:
Think-----Plan......Start.......Learn.....Improve.........be excellent.
Don't look at the people who always think negative and want to start anything
perfectly which is not possible. The only power which start anything perfectly is
Allah Rabbul Alameen .. "Kun fayakun" … Hoja and Ho gaya. We cant do. So let start despite all shortcomings and gain perfection in the long run. … mohammad allam <mohammad_allam@rediffmail.com>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to point out the last will of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, known as papa Mian, the founder of Women's College. In 1936, he wrote an article under the head, "Muslim girls' College ke Mukhtasir Halat aur Ladkiyon aur Ladkon ke Qabil Chand Mufeed Khyalat" (A short historical account of Muslim Girls College and some important views worth consideration for Girls and Boys). May Allah let his dream come true regrding Muslim Women's University. … [Name not to be disclosed] …..

Given below (details removed, would share later, isnah-Allah) is the way this project may be started. You too are a PMP, and so will there be many experienced academics etc, who can contribute in refining this outline. The points I have incorporated do not make an exhaustive list. So feel free to add and suggest what may be modified. One person whom I will strongly suggest to be taken in the core committee is Mr. Naved Masood, IAS as he has been Addl & Jt Secy in the Ministry of HRD for a number of years. He knows exactly what all may be needed to accomplish this project from governments formalities point of view. … ahmad cameron <ahmadcameron@yahoo.com>

There are several Women's Universities (run by States of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra) and also several deemed Universities particularly Banasthali of Rajasthan ( deemed Universities are institutions, though not Universities, authorised to grant degrees under a special notification of the Central Government under the UGC Act). Whoever does the Project Report should have the intellectual honesty to look at real need for another gender specific University in the light of specific success and failures of such institutions. Similarly, the Project Report must also address the issue whether a series of 'women only' affiliated institutions will be a better option. Lastly, as Project Reports are rather voluminous and of course costly affairs you may like to consider whether somebody should first do a 'concept paper' to consider the preliminaries.

For last few days, I have been observing a discussion regarding a University for Indian Muslims Women. I was admiring the motivation behind the proposal but we need to be realistic in terms of our ability to do things. However, I think it is still not entirely irrelevant to propose an ambitious plan. Maybe so far we have not been able to do much...but maybe we will do something big someday, provided that we have the will. Sometime the sheer power of will can do wonders.
We need to work hard to increase the motivation of children well as their parents. We need highly dedicated and concentrated effort to to this. We need to develop very strong organizational mechanism to deal with this issue. ... Shahidur Rashid Talukdar <contact@srtalukdar.com>

In the absence of exclusive colleges for our community our youngsters are falling into lot of fitna.It is a wonderful thought and need of the hour brother. May Allah swt help us to realize this dream. Ameen. Wassalaam. Yr sister in Islaam ... Mrs A Samshath <safanet@gmail.com>

I am now re-vitalized with this mail i have received, do include me in the team, i can at-least be a moral supporter who has left the dream of hoping to see at-least a dedicated women institute in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. ... Syed Saleem <saleem7747@gmail.com>

Excellent idea. I think this is the need of the hour, for our community at this time. MAY ALLAH BLESS AND HELP ALL OF US TO ACHIEVE THIS NOBLE AIM. ... MOHAMED FAIZUR Rahman <faizur74@gmail.com>
--------------------------------------------------------------------Congratulations and Thank you very much for your initiative. I strongly vouch and support the proposal. Having experience in establishing and running a Women's College in Trichy (www.aimancollege.org), I feel this is NOT a himalayan task.If we all have a Husn-Niyyah, this would be achieved, by the Grace of Allah Azzawajal.I feel the best place to approach for the land is the WAQF Department of the respective states. As we all know the biggest holder of Lands in India, after Defense and Railways, is the Waqf. Therefore, it would be a good idea to approach them.Please refer to Outlook India magazine, Sep 21, 2009 issue for further details (http://www.outlookindia.com/printarticle.aspx?261789)...

May Allah bless you with true success of this world as well as of the hereafter!
