This book is the first study to qualitatively explore the concepts
of higher education in Muslim contexts. It examines the different
concepts of 'a university' and the way they shape practice in
Muslim contexts, with a particular focus on the Islamic republic of
Pakistan. Contributing to theoretical debates and discussing
practical challenges that universities in Muslim countries face,
the author analyses seven higher education institutions in
Pakistan. She argues that there is a need for institutions to
constantly review their mission and aims and objectives in light of
the wider economic, political, and socio-cultural and religious
development of a society. The book reviews the history of higher
education institutions and examines opportunities for some
Pakistani universities, to become centres of excellence in the
future. This is subject to adequate support from the government,
industries, philanthropists and the society at large. In return,
these universities would have to cater to the needs of the society,
from basic needs in the areas of health and education to science
and technology. Islam and Higher Education breaks new grounds in
the field of higher education in Muslim contexts and will be of
interest to researchers in the fields of comparative education and
Islamic Studies.
