He has left behind the task of completing the system of enlightenment, acculturation and pursuit of truth.

They were focused on the cognitive growth, character development and results orientation of the students. Appropriate teaching, sound intellectual guidance and fostering of pupils self concept and performance were aimed at. They attended to the formal periodic recapacitation, facilitation and inducement of staff for stipulated inputs, processes and outputs. The intermittent distractions and conflictual occurrences were sagaciously checked, controlled and contained. The ethos of coordinated efforts and symbiotic relationships were systematically built up. All heads of organization are aware that occasional convulsions in management are facts of life. March towards the ideals is rarely smooth. It is with resolve that managers reckon with difficult decision making, non maintenance of standards and reversion to sub normal role play and weak professional performance. The stakeholders sooner or later muster courage, pool wisdom and roundup talents to re- rail institutions. The Islamia College University is fortunately conscious of the settlement of problems, resolution of tensions and prioritization of the mission ahead and planning of the academic and Co-curricular activities in the best possible manner. |4| |5| |6| |7| Prof. Dr. Noor Jehan (Acting) 24/07/2012 - 15/02/2013 Prof. Dr. Ihsan Ali (Acting) 15/02/13 - 13/9/13 Prof. Dr. Muhammad Rasul Jan (Acting) 13/09/13 - till date |8| PROF.

The convocation address of the author is descriptive of the essence of his life-long experiences and brings out the case for the introduction of complete education. The necessity of learning new ideas and high ideals is highlighted. The need of systematic direction of thinking, feelings and activities towards positive relatedness with humanity and multi- dimensional collectivities is set forth. The intellectual capacitation and inner motivations for the exploration of matter and material offered by nature and culture are stated. The underlining premise is that energy at every level is released through moral and spiritual cultivation and consequential good conduct. The virtues of man in individual as well as collective capacity begin with a kind heart and flourishing soul. Education is really the tracking of students on the path of acquiring comprehensive knowledge and learning connectivity with inner self, outer reality of nature, civilization and transcendental supreme creator. What matters in education and is decisive for the rise of self civilization and control of negativities within as well as without centre around the coherent development of intellectual intelligence, emotional genius, spiritual gift and psycho- motor abilities to explore and understand the order prevailing in the universe and to avail the opportunities for happiness, harmony and salvation. |12| Produced by Qurtuba University of Science & Information Technology Content by Dr. Abdul Matin Dr. Muhammad Zulfiqar Khan Niazi Edited by Prof. Dr. Muhammad Saleem Logistics Support by Safdar Ali Design and Art Direction by Mahmood Ahmad Islamia College Mosque Centre of prayers, transmission of revealed massage, conveyance of seerat and sharing of injuncted code of life and modulation of best cultural practices.
