The Department of Management Sciences at
the University of Chitral organized a comprehensive workshop on Islamic
Banking. The workshop, led by esteemed Islamic scholar Mufti Asad Gul and
attended by Mr. Saleem, the representative of the State Bank of Pakistan, aimed
to enhance knowledge and understanding in the field of Islamic finance.
The workshop, conducted in the spirit of
fostering academic-industry partnerships, provided students and participants
with valuable insights into the principles and practices of Islamic banking.
Participants had the unique opportunity to engage with Mufti Asad Gul, a
renowned authority in Islamic finance, and gain a deeper understanding of
Sharia-compliant financial systems.
As a culmination of the workshop, a quiz
was administered to evaluate participants’ comprehension of Islamic banking
concepts. Remarkably, 24 diligent students emerged as successful quiz takers,
demonstrating their dedication to learning and their commitment to Islamic
finance principles.
These 24 students have been selected to
participate in the prestigious NIBAF (National Institute of Banking and
Finance) Certification and Paid Internship program. During the internship
program, they will have the chance to put their knowledge into practice by
working in various Islamic banks. Notably, these internships have the potential
to evolve into regular employment opportunities, contingent upon the students
meeting specific criteria and exhibiting outstanding performance during their
internships, as well as receiving recommendations from the participating banks.
The collaboration between the University of
Chitral’s Department of Management Sciences and the State Bank of Pakistan
underscores the commitment of both institutions to fostering academic
excellence and providing practical exposure to students. It also reflects the
growing importance of Islamic banking and finance in today’s global economy.
This partnership represents an exciting
opportunity for the students of the University of Chitral to gain hands-on
experience in the field of Islamic banking and contribute to the growth of the
industry. The Department of Management Sciences is proud to facilitate this
initiative and looks forward to witnessing the continued success and
professional growth of its students in the realm of Islamic finance.
