Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Overseas Pakistanis & Human Resource Development, Sayed Zulfiqar Abbas Bukhari Saturday visited Pir Sohawa to review arrangements for the foundation stone-laying ceremony of Al-Qadir University for Sufism. Prime Minister Imran Khan is scheduled to lay the foundation stone of the university on Sunday (today). Speaking at the site of university, the PM's special assistant said the Al-Qadir University would give both Islamic and scientific education to the students and help them become morally, intellectually and spiritually accomplished persons.
He said the concept of setting up the Al-Qadir University is to realise the Prime Minister's dream of providing equal opportunities of education to the youth. Prime Minister Imran Khan has a vision to transform Pakistan into a welfare state on the pattern of State of Medina and establishing such institutions to impart Islamic teachings to the youth shows his commitment in this regard. Bukhari said besides contemporary studies of religions with emphasis on Sufism in order to revive the Islamic research culture among the youth, the university would also have focus on science and technology.
