Malegaon:
Exhibiting a fabulous personal performance, an Indian student from
Malegaon bagged the Best Student of the Year Award for 2008-09 at
the prestigious Islamic University of Madinah in Saudi Arabia. In an
equally strong academic show, he also topped his faculty.
Abdur Rehman Iqbal Ahemad attained the first
position among 5000
plus
students from more than hundred and fifty countries all across the
world studying at Jamia
Islamiya in Madinah Munawwara, the sacred town in Saudi Arabia and the
resting place of Prophet Mohammad (Peace and blessings be upon him). Abdur Rehman
scored a thumping 98% marks in the faculty of Dawah, informed
Arshad Mukhtar - secretary of Jamia Mohammadia Mansoora, Malegaon.
Along with the astonishing academic result, Abdur Rehman
also bagged the Best Student of the Year Award for 2008-09.
Jamia Islamiya Madinah Munawwara in Saudi Arabia,
also known as the International Islamic University of Madinah is
distinguished both by its religious location and by the fact that it
represents a centre for the collection, preservation, and
dissemination of Islamic heritage.. Approximately 80% of the
students are international students from more than 150 countries in the world. The university is culturally
diverse and boasts almost all nationalities from across the globe.
The faculties at the University include Sharia, Qur’an,
Dawah and Usul al-din,
Hadith and Arabic. The university offers Bachelor of Arts degrees
and also Master's and Doctorate Degrees. There is also a one year
diploma program that can be obtained after a student successfully
graduates from the Bachelors program.
Abdur Rehman is a Mansoora alumni who
had qualified for the admission at the International University in
Madinah after graduating from Jamia Mohammadia Mansoora in Malegaon, the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra, Arshad Mukhtar said.
Combined with Abdur Rehman's personal
achievements, 17 other Mansoora alumnae who had qualified for the
admission at the Islamic University in Madinah added glimmer when
all of them passed the exams with distinction, he added.
Jamia Mohammdia Mansoora Malegaon is
known for its reformist approach in the country and abroad. Founded
in 1978, Mansoora follows a unique syllabus that combines Islamic
studies with Modern education system. It has various branches in
India, all following the same syllabus and teaching methodology that
stand a model for the Indian Government which is trying hard for
Madrasa modernisation.
Abdur Rehman's achievements become
more significant owing to the fact that he attained them in his
first year in the University when the students normally are naive to
the strange situation in a foreign land. Seldom does it happen when
a student from first year receives the Best Student Award. This is
the first time an Indian student of first year has qualified for the
Best Student of the Year Award.
Abdur Rehman is in Malegaon right now
for the vacation. This is his first visit to the native place after
the remarkable academic performance at the Islamic University of
Madinah Munawwara.
Speaking exclusively to ummid.com at
Jamia Mohammadia Mansoora in Malegaon where his parents reside,
Abdur Rehman spoke in length about the Islamic University in Madinah,
the selection criteria for the best student of the year award, the
teaching methodology and policy of the Islamic University, considered as the
most prestigious in the Islamic world.
Stating that the Best Student of the
Year is judged during the whole year in every respect including the moral, general
attitude, in campus and off campus discipline, behavior towards the
teachers, staff and fellow students combined with the academic
performance "Since the selection criteria for this coveted award is
really tough, receiving it in first year is amazing even to me",
said a beaming Abdur Rehman.
