The Faculty of Islamic and Oriental Studies at the University of Peshawar convened its Board of Faculty meeting on June 26, 2025, at the Sheikh Zayed Islamic Centre.
The meeting was chaired by Professor Dr. Rubina Shahin, Dean of the Faculty, and was attended by heads of departments, senior professors, and distinguished faculty members. The agenda was both comprehensive and forward-looking, focusing on key initiatives aimed at enhancing academic quality and institutional development.
A major highlight of the meeting was the approval of revised syllabi for several departments, including Arabic, Urdu, Pashto, Islamic Studies, and the Sheikh Zayed Islamic Centre.

Professor Dr. Rubina Shahin’s inclusive and strategic leadership was widely commended. Under her guidance, the Board formulated a robust and visionary framework to support the intellectual and academic development of students.
