Message
Education has been unanimously regarded the key factor in the development of personality of an individual, as well as of a society and a nation. Any efforts put in education consequently lead to formidable behavioural changes. The first gift given to humanity by its Creator, when first human being was created, was knowledge. Similarly Islamic religious and cultural traditions began with the command from the Creator to read, contemplate and produce knowledge in order to serve the Creator and humanity.
My self and my colleagues wanted to establish an educational institution with a difference. Our main concern was to integrate Islamic values in our educational system. Therefore when we established Islamic International Medical College Trust in 1995, with our first project of Islamic International Medical College, we were committed to inculcation of Islamic ethical values and welfare of the community (ummah), which lead us to place the term (welfare) as the name of the University. We are keen for the welfare of the individual, the society as well as the global Muslim ummah.
While welcoming you to joint in the community of seekers of knowledge and builders of character and personality, I would like to reaffirm our commitment to our value based integrated approach in education. Riphah International University has tried to have highly qualified experienced faculty who have professionalism with ethical behaviour and moral conduct as their life mission. Our academic programs meet international standard and are accredited by professional bodies of the country.
I hope our students and faculty in various programs will not only try to internalize our rich cultural and religious heritage but also pro-actively contribute in building a knowledge based ethical and moral world order. We need a new ethical world order which can only be erected with the help of competent, confident and ethically pro-active human resource as the end product of our academic programs. RIU offers a conducive environment for research and development for educational pursuits and for becoming a leader of social change. I have my prayers for your success in this life and life there after.
